Another who had hoped for a sample. I read the leaflet and then scrabbled around in the box to find a sample!

I agree it seems like a missed opportunity, with the official launch party happening in store tomorrow. I guess they didn’t want to devalue the launch by giving BD members access a day early.

Well I’ve now sniffed the box perfume (having read the notes and said to myself “FFS this is a men’s fragrance!”) and it smells just like the Recharge Black Pepper shower gel from Molton Brown to me.

Yeah agree that it's a missed opportunity re: the Liberty fragrances, especially as the enclosed marketing bumpf makes them all sound gorgeous!

I agree about the missed opportunity. I would’ve loved a sample - I’d be really keen to buy one. I live too far to go to the launch event

Yep - they'll get what 200-300 for the official event in store, but how many more via the Beauty drop group?

If you are watching this thread Liberty bods - send us all a surprise tester set asap next week - get in there before black friday while we still have cash!

They should have included a sample of the new perfumes in the box and just sent the boxes out after the official launch.

Now that would have made heaps more sense.

Anyone who wants to get rid of the perfume send it this way 😂instant love!

I love this box.

The mask I know that I already love from before.
Looking forward to trying the cuticle oil and rich cream.
The mirror will look cute in my new bag although I’ll probably lose it within a day.
As already over excitingly said I love the perfume although my problem is that I love a lot of different perfumes. I always think this is my scent until the next favourite comes. This smells old school bohemian.

My mirror is faulty. The reflection looks terrible. They could at least have included a makeup item if they were going to give us a mirror.

All mine are faulty 😂

@MidnightMeltdown same. Awful.

Interesting box this time! I'd seen spoilers that there was a perfume and was fully expecting it to be one of the new Liberty ones, I'm really surprised that isn't, definitely a missed opportunity there. I do really like Granado and wanted to try this one so I'm still happy. It also reminds me of something, I think a Penhaligon's scent. I like it but will try it on DH as I don't think I like it enough to bring it into my regular rotation of (many) perfumes.

I'm not really fussed about single use masks but will try it sometime. The cream will get used, as will the cuticle oil. I'm a bit bemused by the mirror. My foundation compact comes with a mirror so I don't need one and will likely lose it. My teenage niece might like it though.

I thought there would be a mini LBTY perfume in the fabric bag but was surprised by the mirror.

The actual perfume is just, sort-of, fine. I agree that I would have liked something a bit sweeter or floral.

I’m happy with the box, nice mix of stuff that I’d never normally buy. The perfume is a generous size. Love the little bag that the mirror came in, I’m going to use it as a Christmas stocking for my Guinea pig 😂

Something wintery like a bath oil would have been nice but then I’d probably complain that it was too small.

Worst box for me, will only use the mask.
Everything else will be passed on to dds or a friend.
Do people really carry those naff little mirrors about anymore now we have camera phones?!
The Augustinus Bader stuff I’ve never gotten on with, I use it as body moisturiser.
Don’t like the smell of the perfume at all and I’d never bother with cuticle oil.
Still don’t regret signing up, some months I’ve found some staples that I repurchase and others not so much but this is I think the only one where I will use just one thing. It’s still a great little savings scheme!

Do people really carry those naff little mirrors about anymore now we have camera phones?!

I always have a compact mirror in my bag. I think of them as useful rather than naff.

Excited about the box, I will use everything.

Just sprayed the perfume and I think I'll get good wear out of it, i get woodsy peppery amber, leather straight off the bat. Quite a comforting scent and imagine it'll get more so as it dries down. Very unisex imo but could definitely see how it comes across as masculine. It reminds me a little of Poivre 23 by Le Labo.

Liberty have definitely done a good job converting me to Granado products as since we got the Bossa soap in a box, I've bought a full size of Bossa, a mini of Epoque Tropical and I'll repurchase the soaps for sure.

This is my favourite box and the first time I won’t be giving anything away! Absolutely LOVE the perfume, although I was hoping for a sniff of the new LBTY.

For the pp who asked about delivery addresses, I’ve had issues too, but Liberty customer service sorted it really quickly and I was sent a replacement box on next day delivery. I was very impressed.

Me too. I would never think of using my phone if I needed to put lipstick etc on. I'be always carried a mirror in my bag and im pleased with this little one.

I'm happy. DH will get the Granado but I'll use everything else.

Yes, they were very helpful and have sent out a replacement box! (which is a relief as there's no way I can get the one from my old address!)

I definitely use compact mirrors! My eyesight is crap so I can’t really use a phone like a mirror because I can’t see myself clearly enough 🤣

The perfume is £110 for 75ml on the website x

I cannot fathom how you're conflating camera phones with handheld mirrors. Are you saying you put make up on in the morning using your phone?!

Team mirror here. Tiny or otherwise. Happily, they've erroneously sent me two! 😊
