MrsR - send me your address and I'll send you some Molinard Lavande - it will go with your wallpaper. Smile

Wow, I'm such a novice Grin

SOTD MG Lemon. Doesn't suit the miserable weather at all but I like it!

LibertyBlue · 02/04/2018 12:29

Wowsers Fancy going to have a perusal if your collection with a cuppa shortly.

MrsR looks gorgeous- love a feature wall behind the bed.

SOTD is 4160 Mother Nature’s Naughty Daughters. Love the name but the perfume not so much. It smells way too fruity like something from the Body Shop mid 90s (but a bit more accomplished). Going to scrub

UnnecessaryFennel · 02/04/2018 13:45

That's an impressive haul fancy!

Me too. Need something fresh as DH and I sort out paperwork for moving house. Feeling nostalgic now, DBro was here and I realised I've lived longer in this house than any other house in my life. We still NEED to move though because our stuff is spilling out the door as you come in!

mrsreynolds · 02/04/2018 14:37

I felt the same about MNND liberty

Fancy..wow! What a haul! Fantastic and I'm very envious

mrsreynolds · 02/04/2018 15:04

Sotd obsession

God is forgotten how much I loved this ❤

LibertyBlue · 02/04/2018 15:11

Scrubbed and now in MG Plum for a late lunch/ early dinner.

Motoko · 02/04/2018 16:01

Pretty wallpaper MrsR, looks lovely and fresh.

Wow Fancy, that's quite a haul!

CecilyNeville · 02/04/2018 16:13

I'm appealing for help! I bought some lovely vials and decants from somewhere in London (online) a couple of years ago, from a shop I'd seen on one of the early fragrance threads. Searching through my old email isn't producing an order confirmation with the name of the shop. Is there a mini directory somewhere on here, that I'm not finding? I really want to buy some new, interesting smells!

positivepineapple · 02/04/2018 16:26

Love the wallpaper and the chair MrsR! You've had an impressively productive bank holiday weekend.

That's a very impressive collection Fancy! If you decide to Ebay the Doe in the snow please let me know - I will definitely snap it up, I love it!

Feeling very pleased with myself on many counts, got 100ml of L'eau Magnetic for £40 in TK Maxx AND I managed to just buy the one thing. I even resisted the pretty soaps & hand creams! Celebrating this small victory by popping to the pub later.

positivepineapple · 02/04/2018 17:02

Ooooh and they had the Stormtrooper perfume in TK Maxx.

CheapTarnishedGlitter · 02/04/2018 19:21

Ooh MrsG the Magie sounds lovely! And Fancy I'm in total awe. It's the collection that keeps going!!

Realised there was a link to just a sample of TBFL so even though the spring set should come in May I've ordered a sample for ASAP. Need to be more patient

SotD is Olfactive Studios Panorama. Very green in a warm herby woody spicy way. Felt like I should be in a glasshouse somewhere. Not very me but I actually liked it!

Laiste · 02/04/2018 19:48

I'm going to lower the tone and ask for help for finding something i wore as a teen which i adored. I would love to try it again and see if it still smells as good on me.

It's Sex Appeal for women by Jovin. You can still get the men's one quite easily online, but i cannot find the women's one! Can anyone help?

Laiste · 02/04/2018 19:49

Jovan. not jovin.

mrsreynolds · 02/04/2018 19:52

Have you tried e bay?

Laiste · 02/04/2018 19:57

In the the past i've found it on an Indian fragrance site. It was quite pricey plus there was the p+p (to UK) and it was saying it was discontinued :(

Laiste · 02/04/2018 20:04

Ebay have one in America but wont ship to UK.

Why is there none ever here!?

pestilentialboundary · 02/04/2018 20:24

Ebay in America seems to have a few Laiste. What did it smell like? Basenotes page has link to US bottles if you stroll down but does not mention notes.

pestilentialboundary · 02/04/2018 20:28

Canada?

Laiste · 02/04/2018 20:30

Thank you pestilentialboundary. I'll give those other american sellers a look but for some reason many wont ship it over here Confused

The base note was sandlewoody. I remember that. It looks like cheap shite and was cheap to buy back then, but it was just bewitching. I can't describe it too well but it smelled warm and amazing and like nothing else and lasted all night and i always seemed to pull when wearing it.
