New Bloomingdale’s Little Freebies Box Alert: Free Cologne Samples on Facebook
Huge freebie tip
New Bloomingdale’s Little Freebies Box Alert: Cologne Samples Are Showing Up
BOLO: readers are now spotting a different Bloomingdale’s Little Freebies Box on Facebook, and this one appears to be a men’s cologne sample box. The sponsored ad says it includes free cologne samples from Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon’s, Mind Games, and John Varvatos.
This looks separate from the earlier Bloomingdale’s fragrance freebie box that included Chloé, Jil Sander, and Infiniment Coty Paris. So if you already claimed or saw the first one, still keep an eye out. This newer cologne ad may show to different accounts.

What People Are Seeing Now
- Offer: Possible Bloomingdale’s Little Freebies Box with free cologne samples.
- Samples seen: Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon’s, Mind Games, and John Varvatos.
- Where it appears: Facebook / Meta sponsored ad from Bloomingdale’s.
- Button on ad: Sign up.
- Important: This is targeted, so it may not show for everyone.
The trick is that these Little Freebies Box offers usually show as targeted Facebook ads, not regular direct-link freebies. That means you may need to “teach” your feed that you are interested before the ad appears. If you do not see it right away, you are not doing anything wrong.
Quick Tip Snapshot
Before You Hunt for the Ad
- Offer: Possible Bloomingdale’s Little Freebies Box ads, including a newer cologne sample box and the earlier fragrance sample box.
- Where to look: Facebook / Meta sponsored ad from the official Bloomingdale’s page.
- Samples seen: Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon’s, Mind Games, John Varvatos, plus earlier sightings with Chloé, Jil Sander, and Infiniment Coty Paris.
- Cost: Free if the ad is available to your account.
- Important: This is targeted, so not everyone will see it.
- Best tip: Search Bloomingdale’s on Facebook, visit the official page, and interact naturally with a few official posts.
The Big Tip: Warm Up Your Facebook Feed First
Because this is a targeted ad, the best move is to get Facebook to understand that you are interested in Bloomingdale’s, fragrance, beauty samples, and shopping offers. You do not need to do anything weird. Just warm up your feed a little, then watch for the sponsored post.
- Search Bloomingdale’s on Facebook. Look for the official Bloomingdale’s page, ideally the verified one.
- Click around the official page. View a few recent posts, fragrance posts, beauty posts, or shopping posts.
- Interact naturally. Like, save, comment, or watch a post if you actually want to. Do not spam the page; just act like a normal person interested in the offer.
- Watch your feed and stories. The Little Freebies Box ad may show as a sponsored post with a sign-up button.
- If you see the ad, tap it right away. These sample offers can disappear fast or stop showing once the daily budget is gone.
Another Tip That Can Help
Sometimes just seeing or interacting with a post about the freebie can help Meta connect the dots. If my Freebie Mom post about it comes across your feed, pausing on it, saving it, commenting, or tapping through may help tell Facebook you are interested in this kind of sample offer.
That still does not guarantee the ad, but it can help the algorithm understand what you are looking for.
What the New Cologne Ad Looks Like
The new reader screenshot shows a Bloomingdale’s sponsored Facebook ad that says to sign up for the Little Freebies Box for free cologne samples from Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon’s, Mind Games, and John Varvatos. The ad has a blue Sign up button and says “Free Cologne Samples.”
The earlier version people saw was more fragrance/beauty focused, with Chloé, Jil Sander, and Infiniment Coty Paris. This new one appears to be a separate cologne-focused box, so it is worth watching even if you already saw the first offer.
What to Check Before You Submit
- Make sure the ad is from the official Bloomingdale’s page.
- Check the URL before entering your mailing info.
- Only submit if the form looks secure and connected to the official promotion.
- Watch your email for approval or shipping confirmation.
- Do not pay shipping for this one unless the official ad clearly says otherwise.
Why You May Not See It
Targeted Facebook freebies can be picky. You may not see the ad because of your location, age, account activity, ad settings, previous shopping behavior, or because the campaign has already reached enough people in your area.
If it does not show immediately, try again later. These ads can pop up randomly after you have searched the brand, visited the official page, or interacted with similar beauty/freebie content.
Freebie Mom note: This is a targeted Facebook ad, not a guaranteed direct-link freebie. If the ad appears for you, submit through the official Bloomingdale’s sponsored post only.
Freebie Mom Big Tip
This is one of those freebies where the tip matters more than the link. There may not be a magic claim link, but when the ad pops up, readers jump on it fast. If you are into fragrance samples, give your Facebook feed a little nudge and keep an eye out for the Bloomingdale’s ad.
And if you get the approval screen, take a screenshot so you have proof of submission while you wait for the confirmation email.
Quick FAQ
Bloomingdale’s Little Freebies Box FAQ
Is there a direct link?
Not that I am seeing for this version. It appears to be a targeted Facebook ad, so the offer may only open when the sponsored post is shown to your account.
Is everyone guaranteed to get it?
No. Targeted freebies are very YMMV. Some people see the ad quickly, some see it later, and some may not see it at all.
What samples are included?
The newer cologne ad mentions Acqua di Parma, Penhaligon’s, Mind Games, and John Varvatos. Earlier sightings mentioned Chloé, Jil Sander, and Infiniment Coty Paris. Final availability can change.
What should I do if I see the ad?
Tap the official sponsored ad, fill out the form carefully, and screenshot the thank-you page after submitting.
