    A padded bag containing five different perfume samples, a Chanel No 5 sample and some jelly beans. :j

    I have no idea who sent me the five samples as there wasn't a compliments slip and the postmark is too blurred to read! Really grateful, but in the dark.

    I had a Chanel number 5 perfume in an envelope like you described. Was it different on the inside than a normal jiffy - ie not bubble wrap on the inside, but more of a thin textured paper like Argos tend to wrap everything up in??

    Yes, thank you Lucy and Happy shopper, the mystery is now solved. DD and I both got a sample of Chanel No 5 to home addy this morning, in an identical envelope to the empty one sent to work addy, but contents intact - so at least now I know, and I have some Chanel to try as well.

    I don't feel miffed about the empty envelope at all, as I think it was just an error back at the packers, the seal looking perfectly smooth and untampered with.

    Thanks both for all your help! violetta :)
