Let's revive our old perfume threads, perfumistas!

[shins]

I know it might seem like we've nothing left to say but I'm sure we have :)

I have to tell you: Seville a l'Aube is on the TK Maxx website for half price - lots of other L'Artisan perfumes but that one is very special and I wore nothing else all summer!

SOTD: Cuir de Russie. Like a fuzzy hug with vague undertones of marauding Cossacks from the 19th century.

So what do we all think of the research that suggests fragrance is bad for us? Should I start a new thread?

Thanks All - not necessarily purple flowers (but was enjoying the kitsch matchy-matchiness of tying up dress and fragrance). Lipstick Rose sounds lovely get off - wondering if it's like Theo Fennell's Scent without the animalic notes?

Realise one of the things I enjoy about perfume is thinking about how it fits with the context in which it's worn. Not usually literally (although can see a fun project here...).

Cresset I'm not super worried. If you are worried about endocrine disruptors, you should also avoid you sofa (fireproofing chemicals), cashier's receipts (pthalates) and never eat soy (contain estrogen analogues). Life is short - Shalimar poisoning doesn't sound that bad

I'm having withdrawal symptoms, spending the week with my parents, forgot to pack my perfumes.

Shalimar poisoning sounds wonderful....

I didn't realise M&S had such a big selection, is there anything decent or is it all naffarma. 20% however, might ease the naffarama somewhat

Ignore the dunce in the corner, didn't realise it had already been discussed

M&S do have a few decent lines - Fragonard, Crabtree & Evelyn, Nuxe (Prodigieux Le Parfum), Shay & Blue.....but not all in the 20% promo.

Oh no, Frugal - disaster!

SOTD Gucci Envy.

SOTD my beloved La Prairie Life Threads Platinum. It's getting very low now...

Waiting for my JHAS samplers to arrive, and I cleared a bit of space on the top of my drawers for scent so they aren't all crammed together.

Oh no frugal. I hope there is a Boots or dept store nearby.

M and S is the best perfume shop in my town right now! Apart from TK Maxx, which I am studiously avoiding in case I accidentally buy everything.

The Perfume Shop and The Fragrance Shop are very meh and mainstream, but Marks and Sparks has got some absolute beauties.

Hope you have found something scented Frugal. I know how you must feel, because that was me last week. And thanks for the reassurance on the putative hazards of perfumed things. DH was cock-a-hoop when he read about it, mainly because he hates strong scents: we are not allowed lilies in the house!

I've just received the Molton Brown Discovery Box from The Perfume Shop. It is divine!

YetAnother, I am enjoying Salome today. Thank you again. It has dried down and softened vastly from the first knickery whiff, but is very lovely. Wondering how disrupted DH's endocrines will be later....!

Cresset I'm glad you're enjoying Salome, it is beautiful after the first few minutes of full on sexy-pants isn't it? It is my comfort scent at the moment. I need to read the article about the endocrine stuff. Could my wearing large amounts of perfume poison STBXH?!

Grr, strike through fail...

You might need to be in the same room.... how likely is that?!

Got two bottles of Whisky and water handwash delivered today (no bargains, paid full retail) but can hardly wait to break one open.

Finally got my perfumes back! Revelling in Musc Ravageur

YetAnotherNC now that's a killer plotline. Try Poison?

Cresset unfortunately we are still in same house. Not for much longer or I would definitely be seeing if Shalimar poisoning works.
Frugal that gave me a very much appreciated laugh, I will have to invest in some.... A friend used to wear it at school, put me off for life, but entirely appropriate!

Frugal is clearly bent on disrupting MrFrugal's glands ce soir ...... MCresset's were disrupted by Salome, but in the wrong way... we had a disagreement about voting in the referendum!

I have always thought scented gloves impregnated with an elegant route to murder... was this a Lucretia di Borgia trick? Or have I imagined it? Poison is almost foul enough to do the trick too!

Duh! Shoulkd read "impregnated with poison", obviously, but you all understood I know!

That would work too Cresset!

Does anyone else get the sidebar ad for Axe deodorants?

Find your magic

I snagged me a decant of Encre Noire from eBay...it's nice, vetiver aplenty, but stays so close I hardly noticed it all day. I think I need to try it again, and concentrate!
