Shiny new thread for some shiny new perfumes (and classics and niche brands)

SOTD - Zeta which was lovely on a sunny day with ice lollies at the park.

Oh Haber!
Must get some Zeta.

Thanks Shoe and cannot believe we are in Vol 5! Collective upgrade - the level of expertise here is pretty incredible too...

Wow, new thread!

SOTD: Venezia.

Helloooo new thread! Blimey.

SOTD was Premier Figuier, but I drowned it out this afternoon with a big spray of Eau des Baux during a swift browse in L'Occitane (before I was dragged out by DS, who wanted to get to Hollister before closing time ). I really love it, and think I need a decant.

Do get some Zeta, coffee, it's so very lovely. I think Frugal described it as egg yolk yellow and it really is. All the lovely honey.

Will do this Saturday.
Honest.

SOTD is L'Ete En Douce. I got a tiny sample from Surrender to Chance, think it's going to be this summer's fragrance.

Boob, I do love it.
Perfect summer smell.

Wow, I'm feeling old. I remember the very first thread by show princess saying that Tubereuse Criminelle was the worst perfume ever!

SOTD: Traversee du Bosphore.

Off to the post office now to finally post all the samples. Sorry it took so long, guys.

Successful preschool drop-off with ds. Hardly glanced in my direction and waved me goodbye with his back already turned to me. Hope it'll be the norm soon. Now if I could tackle potty training and fussy eating before he starts school, and we'll be laughing!

Of course, Toys, you're in Scotland..... (enjoying lazy Bank Holiday here.... ).

It was anniewoo who started it all. I cannot take credit for it. Plus, I actually like Tubureuse Criminelle

Well, just traipsed to the jeffing post office and lo and behold. Shut. So I guess it's a bank holiday here as well. Only the schools are open.

And apparently tomorrow they have planned strike action in the post office.

So, now I think it only fair that I chuck some freebie samples in there. Fuzzy and Cointreau would you fancy any others from my list?

Where can I buy a sample set of the Chanel exclusifs? I am scared to order from Surrender to Chance because I am worried that customs will destroy the parcel.

Thanks :)

Toys, if you are sure.....would love to try the CB I Hate Perfume At The Beach.......

And sorry to hear about your wasted trip to the PO, what a pain.

Cointreau: Sure! Any others you fancy?

Peace: Is Surrender to Chance in the US? I got my Luckyscent stuff from there fine. They put "gift" on the packet to avoid customs costs/problems.

Peace, I've had several sample sets from StC recently, with no problems. There's no way to tell from the outside that there's perfume inside (unless you are buying full-sized bottles).

Thanks for the replies. I might go for it then. Are there any customs costs involved (I am in the UK)?

Nope, it just turns up in the post.

SOTD Le Labo Labdanum.
DD2 refused to eat because 'mommy stinks'

I have just ordered!

Frugal:

While in Finland, df went shopping for a new car. First was the audi showroom, and he took me and ds along. Ds wanted to see inside one of the cars and sat there for a minute or two while df talked with the salesman. Ds then spotted a red car he wanted to get into. I dutifully opened the door and ds peered in. Instantly, he made a face and declared very loudly, so that everyone could hear: ?NO! I will not get inside this car. It smells DISGUSTING!?

It was just a particularly pungent new car smell. And it was the most expensive car in the showroom. But obviously no good at all.. Df got a Merc in the end.

Hang on, hopefully I haven't told you that anecdote already! I have a very limited amount of anecdotes these days..
