Andy was nice enough to give me a 10 ml sample of Byredo Accord Oud and a 15 ml of L'Artisan's Prémier Figuier. I may give them both away. I have the Premier Figuier Extrême, which I think I like better. Fig works weird on me.
L'Artisan had a sale today, with lots of things on sale for $15 - $28 or so. I grabbed a bunch, including La Chasse aux Papillons body creme, Mûre et Musc body oil, shower gel, and body milk, plus a gift set of Mûre et Musc Extrême (which I kinda hate -- it smells like grape Kool Aid on me). I told Carmon, the manager of my condo building, about the sale, and by the time she went to the site, the sale was over. I had made my purchase the same day!
I figure I can use these for gifts throughout the year.
EDIT: The Mûre et Musc Extrême gift set did not come. I wrote to L'Artisan and, unfortunately, they were out of them. They gave me a 20% off voucher code, which I thought was nice, and will refund the amount for the set. I gave my sister the dry body oil (I was at her house for dinner tonight [July 3]) and the Premier Figuier 15 ml.

Congrats on the Iris Silver Mist--I'm jealous.
A propos of the L'Artisan sale: the pickings were pretty slim this year, no? All I saw were Nuit de Tubéreuse and Mûre et Musc gift sets. No other perfumes...
Probably the UK site had more, but I did not even bothering looking there this time, since they won't ship overseas. Perhaps they can't because of postal restrictions.
Oh wait: come to think of it, there were also Vanille Absolument and Coeur de Vétiver. But I already own them. ;-)
Yeah there was really nothing that I wanted for myself. I also have Vanille Absolument and Coeur de Vétiver -- and backups -- already. I figured the Mûre et Musc stuff would go over as presents, and I have a lot of birthdays coming up. I thought I bought the solid perfume , too (it was only $15!) but I guess I didn't.
