A RAFFLE
In honor of my 6th year anniversary as the NA Decantress, all members of the June Nocturne Alchemy / VApothecary decant circle shall be entered into a raffle for a full, unwrapped bottle of a past Forum Exclusive… Bastet's Mango Vanille Sokolata!
* Bastet's Mango Vanille Sokolata ~ Blending light notes of Lilac, Plumeria and Peach into a beautiful Mango accord and then streaming Sokolata (4 different chocolate/cocoa oils) into each other for a beautiful sense of scenting every single cell of the perfume. What happened after that? We added Kobalt, Crystal and Moonstone Vanillas. Y.U.M.
The winner shall be drawn by an impartial observer just before the June decant packages are packed up to be mailed & notified by an update to this thread. So, choose some wonderful scents & get a chance to win a bottle of Bastet's Mango Vanille Sokolata, a forum exclusive back from the dead just for this raffle. :-)

No LJ account? No worries! You can email your order to me at salixnoir@gmail.com. Please put NAVA circle or something similar in the subject line.
Did you know that Nocturne Alchemy has made it’s more exclusive blends available to the public every two months under the Studio category at NocturneAlchemy.com? I do not decant them but as always I’d be happy to take your orders for bottles to be added to your decant circle packages. Or any other bottles you’d like to add. :-)

I print out my domestic shipping labels through PayPal using the address that they give unless you tell me otherwise. You’ll get a CnS at your PayPal address.

(I'll try to make it ASAP, promise!) And lastly, unless other arrangements are made, please have your payments to me before the order is placed, which I would like to do no later than June 9th.
Bottles will be thoroughly mixed before decanting to ensure a well blended decant to all. As for shipping, I have lots of bubblewrap & I'm not afraid to use it! :-)
