    Happy with any useful or beautiful freebie @doingitanyway!
    Though I think I should sell the perfume as I'm unlikely to use it... but I feel guilty because you're not meant to sell the freebies, but then I feel guilty about a product being made and not being enjoyed by someone. Can't really gift it as perfume is too personal to have imposed on you when you haven't chosen to try it. And I need money for somewhere to live so it's not like it's not a good cause...

    Okay Team Tuppence, Money Moral Dilemma 😂
    Is it okay to sell a product you received to review if you're not meant to sell it on, but you didn't request it with the intention of selling it on and you need money for housing and it will have a less wasteful life being enjoyed by someone else who buys it for mates rates so they're getting a good deal?

    Money moral dilemma - I thought you'd sniffed the perfume?  That means you can review it doesn't it, and you told us it was in a nice bottle so that's good to include in your review.   I don't think you are expected to use the whole bottle!  Sell it!

    If you don’t want to keep it for yourself then sell it. How would they know if it’s the one they sent you to test or one someone bought you for yourself birthday 😉

    My moral code makes it absolutely fine to sell the perfume. No persons are harmed in the selling of the perfume

    You get the funds for a home, someone else gets the pleasure of it and there is less strain in the planet from it not going to waste 😊

    Sell the perfume. If it sits in your home unused that is a waste. By selling it you are givng someone else who may not be able to afford it a chance to have a bit of luxury. Thats not to mention it will help your house fund thereby helping to release your current flat for someone who needs a home.
