[MrsGruber]

You probably know the drill by now - come and join us and to talk about perfume. We're friendly and smell lovely.

Old Thread.

SotD L’Eau Simple de Concombre. Cucumber, fressia, cedar and musk. I smelt like a florist! Lovely but a bit concepty rather than comfort perfume.

Came home to a bottle of Girl so enjoying sniffing my wrist now. Iris and patchouli bliss. Thanks Socks. I will organise a parcel of woody ACs for you.

Cheap they had Putain des Palaces on the TKMaxx web site last week. Could still be some in store. Just True Lust, Charogne and Antiheros on-line this week. I managed to avoid buying La Fin Du Monde [feeling proud and restrained emoji], because buying seven bottles in a month would be excessive.

Pest nooooooooooo!!
How did I miss that?

They also had 3 x 30 mls: Jasmin et Cigarettes, Putain and Divin' Enfant for a great price. I resisted (it hurt) as I had already bough 7 bottles this month, although that sounds bad. It was three ebay super-cheapies plus the 4160 crowd fund

oh, and last night's TFS episode. Forgot about that-

Very few of the ELDO's have done it for me so I have 15-ish samples that could be re-homed. My favourite was Fat Electrician, and I didn't like that enough to buy it, but I did finish the sample.

Sigh
I may have done a bad thing...

How bad MrsR?

Does it involve many (at least seven) bottles of perfume?

we’ve all been there mrsr. Do you want to talk about it?

You'll feel much better once you've told us

Does this involve selling children or pets on ebay?

Or, , a criminal act with a heavy bottle top?

Oh you buggers 😂😂

Well.

I may have put in a 4610 order....just samples though! Honest guv!

I may also have ordered MG lemon BUT only the purse spray so I can’t actually kill anyone with it...which is prob a VERY good job as Dh is treading a thin line today 🤔😫😂

You’re such enablers.

And I’m such a sheep 🐑 baaaaaaa

😂😂

But!.....I didn’t order the bloom box I was tempted by so you see really I’ve been very good.
And I’ve stayed off eBay!
(Awards self 🏅)

What did you order from 4160? Enquiring minds need to know.

So we’ve basically bought up all the fragranceshop MG stock between us, haven’t we? And we may also be keeping 4160 afloat. We are Very Important Perfumistas, mrsr. Wear your badge with pride (if any of us can afford badges after all our finger slippage this week)

Um....sunshine and pancakes, who knew? And 2 more I can’t remember!
I have tried to order parallel but they are reformulating it apparently....

Good choices, mrsr!

Badges!!??

I’m going to have to sell a kidney at this rate....
😂😂

If I get many more mysterious parcels in the post I think my husband is going to put ME in the freezer, let alone my bank card 😆

Lovely! I've got a sample of sunshine and pancakes that I don't think I've ever sniffed - I'm saving it for a proper sunny Sunday morning.

Yes, I quite often get The Look when another parcel drops through the door. However, dp is possibly even worse than I am for random internet shopping (and his is boring bits of electronica and books on economics or teaching that he never actually reads) so he just gets The Look back

Heh heh

Luckily Dh is always out when parcels arrive.

“What, this..? No. I’ve had it for AGES...” 😉

I just pretend they're all free swaps - 'Yes dear, another freebie from Mumsnet people, that's right, totally gratis, nothing to see here...'

Thank God...was scared you were going to announce you'd set-up a perfume thread on Netmums and would be leaving us or are a Daily Mail journo gone native .

Wouldn't be so sure on the Lemon handbag spray - weighs in at 1/4 of a kilo, packaged don't ask me how I know-

Interesting on Parallel - mine's been fine.
