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

Motoko and Teta i got a sample of LADDM from Les Senteurs. They also have Lonestar Memories.

Mrs R what have you done? I also have a spritz of Sunshine and Pancakes (on the back of the other hand to SLC) as I found it when sorting my sample out and the weather seemed apt. I like it - very summery. Overall I must smell a bit weird but individual bits of me smell good!

mrsreynolds · 05/04/2018 16:13

Well...

I've ordered the star wars sample set

Please dont mock me 😣🤣🤣

UnnecessaryFennel · 05/04/2018 16:16

I love it when mrsr does a bad thing Grin

auberginesrus · 05/04/2018 16:18

Does this mean we will finally get to find out what a stormtrooper smells like?

Brilliant Grin

mrsreynolds · 05/04/2018 16:28

I will, of course, keep you all fully informed...👍

positivepineapple · 05/04/2018 16:29

MrsR I'm eagerly awaiting the review! If you do take a fancy to the Stormtrooper perfume there was a bottle in TK maxx for just £5.99, more than happy to grab it for you and post.

MrsGruber · 05/04/2018 16:44

Dawn Cat turns out not to be my thing (should've gone for Dusk!). It's quite light: notes are orange, milk, lily, plum, cedar and vanilla. If anyone fancies a swap for something else cheap and cheerful, do let me know!

Envy Cheap - gah! Wish I'd gone for it! Was in my basket for a couple of days...

Not again MrsR!

Thank you Blue - wonder where they will be on this post-TBS?

With you on the FF UF. Smile

Remind me, does anyone do TFS Scent Addict? If so, is it worth it?

Light
Dark
Droid (?)
Galaxy
4 x 10mls for £8
Rude not to really 🤣

Motoko · 05/04/2018 17:40

Oh Aubergine, it might have been Les Senteurs, now you come to mention it.

mrsreynolds · 05/04/2018 18:08

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Judydreamsofhorses · 05/04/2018 19:48

SOTD is JM Wood Sage. I am desperate to know what the Star Wars perfumes smell like, mrsr!

MrsR Has Done A Bad Thing, Rude not to Really love it Grin

MrsG have been wearing Arrogant Cat Dawn today, my parcel finally arrived on the second attempt. I quite like it, the milk is more subtle than Selperniku . Dusk is a bit vanilla and sweet for me.

Well I never, Fragrantica has had a site overhaul. Maybe people are watching us and taking advice.

And Schweppes has brought out a sweetener free tonic.

MrsGruber · 05/04/2018 20:01

Now I've gone and done a bad thing too...

SotD PG19.1 Neroli ad Astra from my Bloom Green set. Lots of Neroli and a subtle touch of pink pepper initially (every other pepper note I've smelt has been much more insistent, this is much more enjoyable) then a lovely exotic flower that is not too sweet and I assume is the Agave. Really long lasting on me, put it on at 8am and can still smell it as a skin scent now, mainly the neroli. Really nice for a spring day.

CountFosco · 05/04/2018 20:21

MrsG!

Motoko · 05/04/2018 20:26

MrsG and MrsR, what are you two like? Grin

We're going to need a new thread shortly.

pestilentialboundary · 05/04/2018 20:37

More storm trooper stuff MrsG?

mrsreynolds · 05/04/2018 21:04

Do tell mrsg!

I noticed that too pest

Ds2 is being a pain and dh is tired so I'm trying to get stuff done. Ugh.

mrsreynolds · 05/04/2018 21:06

Do say it's the star wars sample set mrsg 😁
We could have a star wars themed sniff!
"Perfumistas strike back"

MrsGruber · 05/04/2018 21:08

Nah. I already have all the Stormtrooper I need in my life Grin.

Was reflecting on my latest blind buy fail (Dawn Arrogant Cat - last call for swapees before it hits ebay!).... Sooo...I have signed on the dotted line for Scent Addict. My rationale is that this way I get 8mls of my choice delivered every month (which is probably money better spent than on cheap thrill fails or dodgy miniatures from Lithuania). The choice isn't brilliant but it's a good way of getting hold of Santal Royal (true love - swoon) plus some of the sunnier Tom Ford's will be arriving in high summer. You can cancel at any point, and you pay as you go (take note Bloom!), so it looks worth a go...

(I know there aren't many TF fans here, but Scent Addict seems to be particularly good for his mainline stuff).

In my defence, my work traumas continue, so I needed cheering up...

MrsGruber · 05/04/2018 21:12

Think my Stormtrooper is Dark - so the force could still be with us for a Perfumistas Strike Back sniff! So many thread title possibilities this time...

positivepineapple · 05/04/2018 21:28

I love the sound of that perfume Count! It sounds right up my street, I love Pink pepper & Neroli. I think I'll go for the green selection next.

SotE is Phaedon Tabac Rouge.
This starts off super sweet with lots of honey and ginger, it reminds me of cherry cola at first sniff. The heart is more complex, a nice hint of musk and a very soft aromatic tobacco - like tobacco in a packet rather than tobacco smoke.
The dry down is a soft honey pipe smoke.
Most enjoyable.

MrsGruber · 05/04/2018 21:37

Pipe tobacco .
