Where are the perfume lovers gone???

[wiltingfast]

Remember our chats??

Our SOTD (scent of the day)?

Is there a thread I've missed

If not, lets take it up here :)

SOTD an unknown sample from my perfume drawer, woodsy and irisy, am baffled but enjoying it!

Canny: Sounds good. Dans tes Bras I've already got, and Fille en Aiguilles. I would not mind another Fille, though. Eau Froide is intriguing, and Fleur de Cassie.. So, which ones did you want? Give me a list and I'll get on the case.

Toys, a pm is on its way. You wouldn't like Eau d'Hiver in return would you?

SOTD Guerlain Vetiver. A very easy to wear scent that stays close to the skin - but which I love, unlike Eau d'Hiver - which I don't like at all. It's on my 'most over-rated perfumes' list. Ladies: which are yours?

OK Toys I also have a small splash bottle of Feuilles de Tabac ( miller Harris) which is rich and lovely ( even I like it!).I can decant some for you.I would like the 3 Montale samples and the Tauer one.

Ok, they are yours Canny. Feuilles de Tabac I would definitely like to try. Have you a vial to decant to, or shall I send one?

Niminy: I would, infact! I used to think that Eau d'Hiver was the emperor's new clothes, but it's grown on me. It's just very quiet and hot. Strange.

My most overrated is Chanel no 5. I really do not get it at all. Musc Koublai Khan is straight up arse crack. Another WTAF. But it could be just me..

No,I have a vial.How much do you want?I also have a Rosine sample here of a Spicy rose - Secrets de rose I can include if you wish.So you want
Fleur de Cassie
L'eau Froide
Fille en Aiguilles
Feuilles de Tabac?

Have you tried Rose de Kandahar?That is a grand spicy rose!

Toomuchtea I love the Annick Goutal bottles and the swirly writing .

Annick Goutals eau d'Hadrien was my first Niche perfume over 20 years ago and I still love it.

Canny: 3 ml maybe? I haven't tried Rose de Kandhar. It sounds great! In fact, all that stuff sounds great.. I love a good rose! Thank you so much. I will make you a 5 ml aqua allegoria, as well as send you the ready samples.

Out of all the bottle designs, I think I prefer the Malles..

New to this thread so I need to have a good read!

I've been wearing Chanel Coco Mademoiselle for years but fancy a change.

I recently got a sample of Diptyque Do Son and think it's lovely.

Toomuchtea being Forthright is a good thing ( I am too).Its just as well we all have different opinions on things as it makes life interesting ( and complicated at times).
Sotd is Eau d'Hadrien as I'm meant to be going to the gym but I have a bad IBS flare up and need to really restrict my diet to Fodmap food choices again.
Toys can you pm me your address?I will try and send the samples today.

Cool, thanks, I will, Canny!

Ok, Toomuchtea. :)

Two of my FBs have died . The dreaded smell of nail polish remover.. Calvin Klein Truth and Yves Rocher Nature. Only lost one perfume before, Lutens' Bois Vanille.

I think I will have to replace CK Truth, as it's my first perfume love. Also, it's discontinued, so could be hard to get hold of in a few years. As per usual!

A package is in the post for you Toys - the sample of L'Eau d'Hiver was less than I'd remembered, so I've put in a couple of other things.

Thanks, niminy! Packages have gone out to everyone. Hopefully should be with you soon.

SOTD yesterday 1932: light, refined, nonintrusive and therefore immensely enjoyable. Might buy a FB at some point, for now I have a 4ml mini from the best perfume shop in the world, Place Vendome Haute Parfumerie in Belgium (buy your FBs from them, the extras are incredible).

Today no perfume, just Huile Prodigieuse on my legs - loving the sunny, tropical feel of hot air and bright skies. Need to keep a small vial of this in my travel pouch, I always feel refreshed when I smell this.

Frugal- do they sell online? It seems from the website as though they have the shop only.

I usually wear Organza or Mademoselle during the day, and Jo Malone Oud and Bergamot in the evening. Last week however I picked up a bottle of YSL Supreme Bouquet, Accords, and its just wonderful, truly truly wonderful.

Sorry, I dont know why I said accords, it should have been Orientale. It contains Tuberose, Ylang, Patchouli, Amberwoods, Musks, and I went for the Perfume because I can't get enough of the scent.

SirVix, you have to email them, ask what they have and pay via bank transfer. Sounds complicated but so worth it, am a happy repeat customer. Good for Chanel and Guerlain boutique lines and lots of other things.
