Whether you want to smell like Alexis Colby, Miffy, Mrs Robinson or a Stormtrooper, come and join the Lovely, Friendly Perfume Thread 12

[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.

I share an Amazon Prime account with DH, so in fairness I do get to see the regular unfathomable electronic shite he purchased (what ARE all these wires and chargers and speakers FOR? And another pair of headphones? Really?)...whereas my eBay account is mine all mine mwahahaha...

was scared you were going to announce you'd set-up a perfume thread on Netmums and would be leaving us

Surely the Nethuns only wear Pink Mingers? We could give them the ones we didn't like from TBS I suppose.

NetMums Perfumista Thread 🤣

I wonder if it exists? I bet they do loads of nice swaps, though. Course you can try my LVEB, hun...

ahhhh, i'm so tempted to buy something, anything but i really really shouldn't!!!

I have more than enough to choose from every day but the lure, oh god the lure

Found a perfume thread. Good news-they've not been buying up the MGs.

TK Maxx tip - if you're looking online, always check the men's section too!
Sarah of 4160 Tuesdays referred to me recently as one of her best customers
Oops 🙊

Mrsg 🤣🤣🤣 how DARE you!??
I have some admittedly low standards 🤣🤣

Both the Amazon and eBay account are mine. All mine!! Mmwwaaahhhhaaaaahhhhaaaa twirls evil moustache

Ive sold a lush bundle on fb! (I'm now boycotting them due to their stance on self ID) so I have a bit more to spend on perfume this month 👍

I'm quite excited to think what my next fb will be 😁

I've got 2 bottles on the way from PP and samples from 4610 and the MG lemon - good to know it's hefty mrsg - could still do some damage if lobbed at a head! 🤕

Sotd....hmm....still decorating so I need something to counter emulsion paint 🤔

Groceries being delivered soon so I should go and get dressed really!

I'm thinking of asking dh for a perfume making day at 4610 for my b day in October 😁

And more sexiest scent for our anniversary in May as I think I will have run out by then 😣

I'm thinking pp opium to counteract the paint fumes??....

MG purse bottles lobbed at the head are reasonably likely to maim at the very least.

The next heavy weight bottle guaranteed to fell someone would be from Union, another make that seems to have gone under. No longer available at Selfridges, only from Roullier White. Nice juice in the bottles too. At least half a kg.

Not that I'm planning to murder anyone you understand...but the vintage poison bottles were fairly hefty.
An obsession bottle lobbed with intent is quite heavy too
I may have spent a bit too long thinking about this

SotD MG lemon. Really enjoying this, could easily become an interesting regular for work.

Happy Easter all, I'm having a lazy morning, SOTD is Yardley Jade

You did say bad MrsR

Happy Easter perfumistas!

No SOTD yet. I'm still in my PJs with a bit of a headache, but DH has taken the DC off to a football match today, so I am enjoying a lovely quiet house and doing absolutely nothing. I might have just eaten quite a few chocolates from a box I got for my birthday with my morning cuppa in bed . So glad this term is over!

Have broken out the MG Lemon (haven't worn this for a while as DD lived in it last year, but she's gone all oud-y now). Also Empreinte - got this out to weigh the bottle top. The MGs look to be 'paying tribute' to the Courreges design but their top's aren't weighted (someone did a risk assessment ?). I usually layer Empreinte - nice to try it on it's own again. It's a genius soft soapy mossy leather. 2012 reformulation smells good.

Am also in MG Lemon, which arrived this morning. Am not completely sold at this point but that may be because on a day like this (damp, grey, meh) I'd usually go for something a little cosier and spicier. It seems a bit one-dimensional atm but it's certainly not unpleasant! Agree with count that it has 'inoffensive office scent' all over it, which is not a bad thing by any means.

I couldn't decide on a SOTD earlier, so rummaged around for something I haven't worn in much/for ages and thought I'd give Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche a whirl. Haven't worn it in maybe 2 years.

Regretting my choice a bit now. I really like the opening, which is a big burst of citrus with a touch of flowers (hyacinth I think). Quite fresh and light and Spring-like. But the dry down gets a bit aftershavey. Cant be bothered to scrub, though, so I'll stick with it and swap for something else tonight.

And on that note, I'd love to find a Chanel I really like, but its yet to happen. No.19 is the closest for me, and I have a soft spot for Coco as I wore it in my youth. But I find Chanel perfumes really underwhelming.

I am in Paris rose de doodah whatsit flanker thingy. It is lush. A juicy rosey rose. It is actually a fake. The ebay seller said she had acquired about 10 bottles and they were definitely fakes. It's bloody lovely for £6 and reminiscent of original Paris.

I am also arguing with a German ebayer. Humph. The Envol never arrived. The ebayer says it did, and I signed for it. The ebay track your package thing says it is still en route, whereas the Deutsche Post thingy says it has been delivered. I asked also as to how come the order details say it's coming from Taiwan/Hong Kong (which it did), and they got even more humphy with me and said it's coming from Germany.

I'm not answering them anymore but guess I will have to cut my £9 losses.

Thats annoying, PIAM. is it Parise Premieres de Roses you're wearing? I absolutely love that! I layer it with the original Paris when I'm craving big, blousy roses. Gorgeous.

SotD is Agent Provocateur.

Sorry for Fail link but thought you'd find this absolute pile of advertising tosh amusing:

Star signs and perfume

That's the one Fancy. Lovely.

I recently tried MG Lemon and didn't like. Was tempted to try it again today and it smelt totally different and I liked it. Got a bottle for £15 as they had another 20% off event at the Fragrance Shop.
