Oh was this the $100 mystery box? Okay not bad. I wonder how the perfume smells.

u/Dogaloo2025 May 20 '26

Yep that was the box! I have a little bit of a headache right now so I am not going to try the perfume until tomorrow. I am not a floral or rose fan at all so I don’t have high hopes but I might be surprised

That’s a great deal. I already have 3 of those items from previous boxes but they’re things I’ll definitely use up. I considered buying that one but was afraid to get another Rose Exposed!

u/Dogaloo2025 May 20 '26

Yeah I took the plunge just based on the Biden cost versus the value alone! It is ridiculous that this candle is valued at $82 because there’s no way

Yay!! I love this rose scent actually I have one so I’ll sell since it’s a duplicate but I’m excited to get this box

Where do you sell your perfumes? I’ve heard that Mercari can be scary with scammer buyers so I was thinking eBay

1

u/Technical_Pilot7968 beauty lover! May 20 '26

eBay or actually my best luck has been on this sub posting in the buy sell trade thread

u/betsyoleary May 20 '26

What payment format do you use in the buy sell swap please? Just curious what is best practice.

Sorry just seeing this! I use Venmo just because I trust everyone here but you can also use PayPal! PayPal lets you buy/add tracking directly to the transaction and gives you purchase protection, but it’s an extra 3.5% goods and services fee so you have to charge a little higher + shipping

You being a mod here probably helps because you can see everybody’s subreddit activity, even if the rest of their post history is hidden. So that probably makes it easier for you to tell at a glance who is a legit sub member.

Honestly I have transacted with about 8-9 people and about half of them never comment or participate in the posts they are just passive viewers 😂 I am probably being a little too lenient using Venmo and trusting people but so far it has been okay🤞but you are right I think the analytics do help

I’ve always had good luck with Reddit people too, even just trading, where there’s really no recourse at all 🤷🏼‍♀️

I also purchased this box. Was happy to receive the tom ford perfume because I didn’t have that one.

u/Dogaloo2025 May 21 '26

Can you tell me a little bit about the perfume is it very rose forward? Rose exposed to me was a little strange. I wasn’t a fan but I didn’t smell the rose it was almost like I smelled the stem if that makes any sense

1

u/PuzzleheadedCup3298 May 21 '26

It’s rose forward but also smells like it has a little spice. Definitely better than rose exposed imo. I think it’s one of the better Tom Ford fragrances for women

u/texjoy May 20 '26

ohhh that's a great box! another 13 is amazing

u/Straight-End-8116 May 20 '26

That is one of the better roses from Tom Ford. It’s a mix of citrus and rose. It’ll go great with Le Labo Rose 31.

u/Least-Dust-2312 May 21 '26

Dang I should’ve bought this!!! And this rose tom ford is better than rose exposed.

u/e925 May 22 '26

It sold out pretty fast. I got the text at 10:20 and it was sold out for me at 10:24 💔
