PERFUME ALERT — Contact the PDN if you have ‘scent issues’

TWO UPCOMING EDITIONS of the Peninsula Daily News — this coming Wednesday, Sept. 19, and the following Wednesday, Sept. 26 — will carry perfume samples inside advertising inserts from Macy’s.

To minimize exposure, the perfume samples are on sealed slips of paper, and the inserts themselves will be bundled within other inserts.

But despite these precautions, several readers told us they had sensitivity issues when we carried previous perfume samples.

If you’re a PDN home subscriber with fragrance-sensitivity — and you’ve not already on our “no perfume” list — we can attempt to screen out those inserts from your newspaper, or bring you a replacement paper in the morning without the samples.

To do this for this Wednesday’s perfume samples, contact us before 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17, by emailing your name, address and telephone number to john.brewer@peninsuladailynews.com (subject line: Perfume) or phone him at 360-417-3500 (voice mail 24/7).

Many thanks.
