To want to swap perfumes

[Extrapepperoni]

Posting in AIBU for traffic. Bought a 50ml bottle of Tom Ford's Noir de Noir and not loving it. Looking to swap with someone who has an open bottle they splurged on but don't love either! Obvs I have preferences but maybe the barter economy has a solution! Any takers?

Try your family and friends?

Have done. They'd happily inherit the bottle but don't have a swap.

Try selling on Facebook then.

I’m not sure starting a Swap Shop on MN for perfumes is a great idea. 🤔

You can't garentee what you are going to get and there's no comeback, so you'd be possibly giving it away. You'll just have to use it.

Ha!

Are yo uon any other social media? There are various perfume groups on FB or so, you could try swapping there.

You could sell it on Vinted

Have a look at skincare selling sites on Facebook, you always see people selling perfumes and they get a decent price. You may even be able to get a swap rather than just selling it.

Just a heads up, you can not post open perfume. Has to be in sealed packaging

look at the Fragrantica message boards. They have a subforum for perfume swaps.

Yup with a special sticker from the post office

Just a heads up, you can not post open perfume. Has to be in sealed packaging not quite. I often sell perfume on eBay that has been sprayed a few times and as long as it's in its original packaging ( or securely packed so it can't break) then it's fine.

OP- you can sell used perfumes on eBay. Just use the New-other category and explain a few sprays are missing. I do it all the time. Also, I would advise against Vinted because the prices are so low. You may get a bit more on eBay but make sure you don't accept offers from abroad as you can't post perfume out of the UK without a special license.

Also, wander over to the Mumsnet friendly perfumistas thread.

and yes, tell the post office it's perfume and they put a sticker on it.

YABU for spending that much on a perfume without being absolutely sure you love it.

Awesome suggestion, thank you!

And @WhiskersPete you're right, total numpty for not going with what I actually preferred and being swayed by DH's opinion

@Extrapepperoni you won't be the first or the last to get buyer's remorse on a blind buy. Be careful on fragrantica as it's hard to tell who lives abroad and you can't post perfume abroad.

I love noir de noir :)
Do you have a want list?
