The Scarf of a Thousand Scents: Lovely, Friendly Perfume Thread 4

[GreenPolishToGo]

Welcome to instalment number four of the friendly perfume lovers' thread. Pop in and tell us your SOTD, share your discoveries or ask a question because one of us is likely to know the answer.

Everyone is welcome to join in, whether you are dipping a toe in scented waters for the first time, or a full-blown fragrance addict.

Topical is fine, it helps you appreciate the top notes.
I have a glass of homemade black currant vodka, smells even better than it tastes. DH and I keep passing it back and fore and sniffing. Rosa ribes tomorrow me thinks.

😂at Pesti! MrsMartell, you have some very happy smelling ahead of you if you're going to explore the 4160s. Shazam! is amazing. I don't know the other two, but I can highly recommend getting a set of samples to try. My favourites currently, although they keep changing (!), are Rome 1963; Inevitable Crimes of Passion; Silk, Lace & Chocolate; Sexiest Scent on the Planet. Ever. IMHO; Invisible Ben; and The Dark Heart of Old Havana. A Kiss by the Fireside and The Lion Cupboard are amazing in colder weather.

SOTD was Heeley Hippie Rose. Last week of term here, crawling to the end on bloodied knees.

for everyone who has had a horrid day. Wasn't there a 4160 Tuesdays perfume called The Gin Cupboard? It sounds like it might be very suitable at the moment.

Calm, MrsC get thee behind me the pair of you! I am so tempted by the latest additions to 4160's Naughty Cupboard. I really, really want Midnight in the Palace Garden and Shazam! and Silk, Lace & Chocolate. Ho hum...

MrsM I think Tart's Knicker Drawer and Oriane would be right up your street - they are both beautifully powdery and elegant and there is nothing the least bit fruity or sweet about them.

Nice choice of samples Mary. vintage Y is one of my favourite greens and Doe in the Snow is a lovely, refreshing peach sorbet type of scent. I'm wearing it today.

As far as I can see there's no rhyme nor reason to the regulations surrounding postage of perfume and nail polish. I read up on their enforcement a while ago and it seems any parcels of perfume or polish posted from the UK are liable to be scanned, intercepted and destroyed.] Incoming mail, however, isn't subjected to the same scrutiny.

Thanks for info re: US posting Green - will investigate further. SotD - in your honour, is Midnight in the Place Garden. I have a summer cold and it's not smelling as lush as usual today . I'm getting the citrus fizz, cedar, and especially the oud, but less of the floral notes, vanilla, sandalwood and musk.

MrsM - really sorry but we were unable to negotiate an autumn 2017 workshop date for us as a group in the end. There might be individual spaces left on existing dates...worth checking the 4160 website?

SOTD here is Who Knew by 4160 Tuesdays, using up the last of the little sample. Theres a tiny bit that annoyingly wont come out
:(

I forgot to put perfume on today, i don't deserve to post on this thread .

Iwanttobakethree - whats Who Knew like?? One of the few 4160s I've never had the pleasure of sniffing.

SOTD was Escada Delicate Notes. I've been titting about with some Escada fragrances I inherited from my sister over the last few days, while also reading The A-Z Guide of Perfumes and Luca Turin's spiky reviews (e.g. Escada = trash). Given me the giggles .

I've developed (probably quite predictable for a relatively newbie perfume lover) obsession with Guerlain lately. Have been scouting around for a decant of Guerlain's *Le Bolshoi Saison 2012 Traviata', but no joy. There's a full bottle on Ebay for 500-odd quid . If anyone spots anything more palatably priced, shout me please!

Its quite unusual and after-shavey ThreeforaPound. I like it but alas its all gone now.

Inevitable crimes of Passion is flipping gorgeous. Don't ask me for notes, I am clueless!

Busy busy day today so nightmusk for me
I might have a bath later...am shattered

I can barely keep my eyes open so have had a quick shower in lush twilight, body spray and sleepy body lotion...
😴

Auld - it's lovely . A dry smoky green tea (borderline medicinal) with rose/rose geranium and wafts of homemade strawberry & vanilla cordial or jam. (Might just be that my head cold is making those sweet notes fade in and out of range... Think I had the same problem this morning with MitPG).

SOTD was Chanel 19. We seem to be back to winter here, so tomorrow will be something cosier.

I sprayed Tutu Woman on when I got home to atone for my scentlessness, Milton Lloyd Coco dupe.

Cold grey and rainy.
Knowing is sotd.

SOTD cool water wave cos Im not keen and its going to be a crappy work day so might as well use some of it up.....

Date Night tonight going to wear Nina Ricci Premier Jour cos I love it

Interview today...
Wearing the perfume I made last time at 4160s. Much to my surprise it turned out OK (beginners luck ) and is a neat olfactory reminder to have faith in my own judgement...

Good luck at the interview MrsC.
Chloe EDP today, lychee and rose. It will probably end up with Killer Rose on top (everything else has this week).

Good luck MrsC!

I am in Eau du Sud, was sick all yesterday so nothing.

Hitting the UK next week and am going to use my time to study in great detail this 4160 malarky.

I'd like you to recommend me some on the basis of NO PINK MINGERS as I believe quite a lot of them verge over into fruity? Unless we are talking sharp citrus, fruity to me =PM.

It's 40 degrees here btw. I keep having to say to people "please excuse the sweat" when I kiss them or shake their hands.

On back shift today so just about to start work, Sotd is Ysatis, applied with a light hand.

Good luck mrsc 💐
Ysatis!? That's a blast from the past....i wore that in the 80s I didn't use a light hand sadly

I'm all dolled up partly cos i had loads of time to put the slap on and i'm on shift with an inappropriately young hot fella.

Oooh yeah!!
Get the big guns out!! perfumistically speaking 😁
