Wiggle Perfume and Sundries Giveaway

I was given the wonderful opportunity by Wiggle Perfume and Sundries to host a giveaway for some lovely custom-made perfumed oils and I know that you guys will love them!

I stumbled across Wiggle Perfume and Sundries on Etsy a while back and was captivated by the wonderfully vintage photo shots of each customized bottle of perfumed oils. The ingredients listed for each bottle sounded like a wonderful combination and I couldn't wait to try them. I purchased the Honeysuckle Sweet Tea perfumed oil and the Valdosta perfumed oil and was not disappointed in the least bit! Their fragrance is intoxicating and just what I was looking for. Being the genuine southern gal that I am, the Honeysuckle Sweet Tea is, by far, my new favorite scent and the wonderful peach blossom, honeysuckle, jasmine, neroli, and magnolia scents in the Valdosta perfumed oil are also a favorite too!

After raving about my new purchases, the wonderful folks at Wiggle Perfume and Sundries graciously agreed to allow me to host a giveaway for one 5ml roll-on bottle of Honeysuckle Sweet Tea perfumed oil, one tester bottle of Mathilde perfumed oil, one tester bottle of Sakura performed oil, and one tester bottle of Anna May perfumed oil. The lovely folks at Wiggle Perfume and Sundries have many, many different scents to pick from, from bold, to feminine, to light, to airy. They are sure to have something that you will just love!

Wiggle Perfume and Sundries describes the scents up for giveaway as:

Honeysuckle Sweet Tea perfumed oil:

This fragrance blends deep, rich black tea with sweet, summery honeysuckle and a base of golden honey for a final product that radiates warmth, softness, and femininity.

Mathilde perfumed oil:

This combination includes a heavy pour of lavender essential oil, a dash of vanilla, a big wallop of black pepper, a splash of blood orange essential oil, and a drop of cardamon.

Sakura:

This combination includes a soft, springy cherry blossom blend, rounded out with Egyptian musk, red santal, and hints of fresh cut grass and nag champa. A tart top of pink grapefruit adds freshness.

Anna May:

This concoction includes peony and green tea notes, a generous dose of wisteria layered over white musk, a touch of orchid, a kick of ginger, the slightest hint of soft incense, and lychee for a top note. This fragrance is soft, floral, and fruity, though somehow still a little dark.

If you would like to have a chance at winning this wonderful set of perfumed oils from Wiggle Perfume and Sundries, please be sure to enter! One lucky reader will be randomly chosen on Thursday, May 26, 2011. Entries must be received by Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 11:59pm EST.
