I will sniff, but only if it is not sealed.

Always unless it's sealed! I'm always so curious!

*snort*

Yeah, I agree. As long as it is not sealed, it's fair game to my sniffer.

Terrific poll idea!The only gifts I have given were 2 body lotions in bay rum & drakkar noir to hubby and I did sniff them to double check the scent before I gave them to him. But I guess they really don't count as gifts because he asked if B & I had any "manly" things one day when I got a order.I am now so addicted to B & I , I don't think I could give any up for gifts.So I will be giving others stuff other then B & I and hoard the B & I things all for me.

I'd be a total hypocrite if I voted no, because I first sniffed B&I from friends who passed along things they thought I'd like.

But I agree w/two of the answers in particular -- only if it's not sealed, and, hey, it's quality control for your gifts!
