Here we go again... A merry whirl of things of things that smell delicious (and sometimes not).

[Grin] at MrsR. What's on your list?

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 13/05/2018 08:40

Good morning all. I joined scentaddict last week and my first was dispatched on Friday Blush my first is neroli portofino.

MrsLucas · 13/05/2018 09:18

SotD Black Fleece (thanks Pest). Really like this; smoke and fresh spice, but with a cool grassy green track running right through it. Wasn't expecting this from the notes.

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 09:47

Couple of estee lauders, narciso Rodriguez, Armani, Gucci, valentino and a Tom ford!!

I spend £12 (cough) a month anyway and this will mean I can try things I might not normally

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 09:52

Do you know what you're getting or is it s surprise?

MrsLucas · 13/05/2018 10:14

Do you mean what order they arrive in? If so, yes, you can see dates from the subscription tab. The one thing that seems clunky (or I have figured out properly yet) is how you resequence from their default order, without having to start from scratch (to put summery things in the summer).

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 13/05/2018 10:41

I had the same problem with sequencing and when I tried to edit it they went in a completely random order and I had to start again! I think Bronze Goddess is my next one.

Thank you mrsr ! I wore Ealing Green yesterday - I do love the freshness and zing of it. It reminds me of MG lemon, which I also wear, but they don't have any shared notes when I check out fragrantica, apart from oakmoss as a base.
Today I am trying pp light blue which is so fresh and holidayish to me - sea breeze, but possibly too light as I have to sniff hard. Apparently it is similar to Lanvine eclat d's arperge, of which I have a sample, so am looking forward to trying them side by side.

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 13/05/2018 11:30

Bunty, I love Ealing Green. Yet another on my want list for a FB. SOTD Mrs Gloss Lemon Sherbet. Lemony vanillary sweetness.

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 11:59

Sotd next cashmere

I was too tired to give it much thought!

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 12:06

Meant to add bunty I e ate the valentino fragrances for summer too

Valentino poudre is divine

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 12:07

i rate

UnnecessaryFennel · 13/05/2018 12:10

SOTD is Feu Follet for lunch with wealthy, chic friends.

UnnecessaryFennel · 13/05/2018 12:13

Posted too soon! In other words I need to feel rich yet understated. Think that will take more than a squirt of perfume though! Grin

LibertyBlue · 13/05/2018 13:22

SOTD is 4160 Bodhi Language- very woody, almost raw unpolished wood. Quite a lot of vanilla. Not sure about this one

auberginesrus · 13/05/2018 13:35

Hello all. No SOTD yet for me as have been for a swim. Have been wearing my MH Tender sample a lot this week and really loving it - it's a bit rose floral, a bit woody and a bit leathery without any one thing really taking prominence. It even elicited a "you smell nice" from ds1. Will be putting on my FB wish list for sure.

I've also got a tester of Sherzo which I haven't even sniffed yet but is described as a floral chypre. May have a go later.

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 13:49

I can feel 4160 lemon sherbert coming on...

positivepineapple · 13/05/2018 16:39

Sotd is Womanity, I forgot how much I love this.

Wax burner purchased, also Ecover and Fairy wash liquid (heard it mentioned on another thread) I've never been as excited to do the laundry.

I managed to run nearly 5 miles today - without stopping once! Very proud of myself, as is DH - he bought me a Fitbit to celebrate. Only 3lbs lost so far - maybe it's because I refuse to give up the wine Wink

Recommend me some wax melts to purchase please Fragrant Friends

auberginesrus · 13/05/2018 17:03

Wow, well done on your run Pineapple I struggle to do the first run in the couch to 5K Blush Have come to terms with the fact that running is not the exercise for me!

I use Fairy laundry liquid as dh and ds2 are both sensitive souls. It smells lovely but not very strongly.

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 17:46

Yep same here...

We all have sensitive skin but dh and ds1 very much so

Neither of them can use scented stuff really:(

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 19:54

Sote sexiest scent extrait

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 21:21

I've totally messed up my scent addict subscription...

Ordered the same one twice and a men's Scent!

How do I correct it? Can't seem to do it on the website

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 13/05/2018 21:31

mrsreynoldsI was able to modify mine by logging in and going to my account then my subscriptions. Under each fragrance was the month and the edit button- I can remove or change from there. I’m on an iPhone, not sure if android or a full site would be different?

mrsreynolds · 13/05/2018 21:51

I don't seem to be able to...gah

MrsLucas · 13/05/2018 22:52

Me neither Sad
