The lovely friendly perfumistas thread 30: summer has arrived (allegedly) and we all smell incredible 😉

[Mrs08]

Hi all,
Couldn't see a new thread?
Hope this one is OK!

Found you! Thanks for starting a new one @mrs08!

😀

Sotd mmm pp WITL as I need a bit of comfort today

Was up most of the night with mum who was taken to hospital in the end (3 hour wait for an ambulance...)

She has a bad kidney infection they now think. I didn't get back home til 4.30am. Rather tired.

Sorry to hear about your mum, Mrs08.
MrsB, I love green & spice, but I'm not a fan of floral at all. Would you like my sample of Ealing Green? I could probably get to a post office tomorrow if you PM me your address.

@FloraMacDonald That's very kind Flora, but I already have a little bit. I'm hoping to get a 15ml bottle when I order my 4160 Tuesdays trio!

Thanks @FloraMacDonald

I forgot 3 of my avon perfumes! My newest ones...oud Grandeur, patchouli Indulgence and ambre Ardent.

All 3 are lovely but I'm wearing oud Grandeur the most atm.

Mums been admitted and is on IV fluids and antibiotics so 🤞 she'll feel better soon.

I want something really comforting tonight so sotd will be pp mmm btf

I got a scenthusiasm sample from 4160...I must be anosmic to it....smells of nothing at all (like chanel no5 for me too...)

Thanks for the new thread! Fingers crossed your mum gets well soon, mrs08.

SOTD Stella.

Thanks @Judystilldreamsofhorses x

I've DABT (again) I'm blaming the stress!!! 😬🤔
I've bought another 3 for 2 from 4160 Tuesdays...
Lemon sherbert (I only ever had a 9ml of this)
Shazam! And white queen.
I've also ordered 2 new emma bridgewater mugs...
Stress shopping is an actual thing 🙃
No idea on sotd yet...Once ds2 is off to play scheme I might go back to bed!

Sotd pp mm btf

Mum will probably be in for another couple of days but she already sounds better.

Here you all are! I was wondering why the other thread suddenly went quiet. Have been a bit uninspired fragrance-wise this past week so haven't posted, but I've been reading all your lovely updates.

Hope your mum feels better soon Mrs08.

Thank you x

She sounds far perkier this evening

SOTD Heeley Sel Marin.

Glad your mum seems on the up, mrs08.

hope your mum is ont he mend soon mrs08

sotn is Fuckign Fabulosu by Tom Ford. I still dont really know hwo to describe this other than interesting its leathery, its herbal, its musky but its so well done that no one thing is overpowering. its not what i expected when i blind bought it, i expected soem big blousy oriental tbh with that name but this is actual much more subtle than the name would suggest. I would say this is for fans of leathers and greens

My (cough) 2nd 4160 3 for 2 trio has arrived...
I'm absolutely in love with shazam! 💜
How have I never smelt this one before???
I forsee a larger bottle in my future 😃
I know have 15 bottles of 4160 frags...I'm trying not to view it as excessive 🤣
Sotd is avon lbd weekend

Shazam! really reminds me of something else...I cannot put my finger on it. So annoying!

Ah!
It's LADDM it reminds Mr of!

SOTD Geranium Odorata.

Sotn 4160 Shazam!
Wow, this stuff is gorgeous!
It really is reminiscent is LADDM imo

SOTD Aramis Devin. Bitter green opening, then a hint of petrichor (my new favourite word!), like smelling a bowl of freshly planted and watered hyacinth bulbs. Maybe slightly floral, with the pepperyness of carnation. Then the dry, mildly woody green of snapped twigs and crumbled bark. Something slightly fresh and mentholated weaves in and out occasionally, maybe the caraway? It's quite complex, and I love it for that!

Am very tired.

Meant to say - like smelling the soil from a bowl of freshly planted and watered hyacinth bulbs.

😴🙄😁

I'm new to the thread, and wonder if you lovely perfumistas can help me out? I am looking for a perfume with a beachy smell, but I just haven't found the one yet! My ideal would smell like an Australian beach on a hot summer day, but I realise that's a bit specific! So, I'm not really looking for fruity or coconutty, just more salty, ozoney and maybe a bit herbal. Does such a thing exist? Any recommendations gratefully fully received.

SOTD clean reserve skin. God I love this it's like my skin but better and the salt is gorgeous in it

My first thoughts are

Library of fragrance salt air
Hermes Eau de Merveilles Bleue
Jo malone sage and sea salt
