My local TK Max is shit for perfumes, and their make up always look opened and used too. I need to find a better one!
Body sprays are lovely in this heat, and even DD's Victorias Secret body mists (usually edging into pink minger category to me 
) smelt nice this morning.
Haha about the Jade wearing school mothers - I wonder if a lot of lurkers read this? Maybe wearing Jade could be the new Perfumistas Bat Signal? So...Jade, Chanel headscarf and Terrible Trousers
Calm thank you thank you for PP tip re Virgin Island Water - there is absolutely no way these days I could stretch to FBs of Creed (why are they so expensive?!) so have been ekeing out samples of my beloved VIW, don't know why PP didn't occur to me! I smelt a new Creed last week, can't remember the name but didn't like it. Even the salesperson wasn't too keen 
Talking of why are they so expensive yes agree re Jo Malone, I do like some of them but they do not suit my skin and turn to Air De Freshener on me. I always think they would make nice room scents - I keep meaning to try the Perfume Parlour room fragrance dust stuff - has anyone here given it a go?
Jealous of all the cool culottes, you all sound very elegant! I don't do trousers and only really like fitted clothes so am not good in this weather, although the shaved part of my head is lovely and cool 
auld I love the sound of your restoration wig, I used to have arse length very heavy hair and moaned about it all the time. Could you put it into plaits when damp and coil it around your head? If you can put up with the Heidi jibes it will be lovely and cool and then you will have curls when you take them down in the evening (and it will still be damp if it's like my old hair!)
I'm sorry that I am so obsessed with hair at the moment and keep going on about it. It has recently overtaken perfume and cats as the uppermost topic in my mind I think due to a teenage DD hair dye related episode too painful and recent to talk about It has also wiped out my perfume budget for the year month.
I shall resume perfume witterings discussions shortly I promise I hope you are all enjoying lovely sunny weather - apparently it will break with a big thunderstorm tomorrow, so if anyone wants to join me underneath my bed, I shall make room!
