Perfumistas 14: Perfumery High and Low. (Warning: this thread sabotages credit cards)

[OCSockOrphanage]

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

I have just logged into mine again to change something as an experiment and it’s definetly working for me? I wonder if it’s a glitch.

Happy Monday all! SOTD is Maison Martin Margiela Tea Escape. Hmmm, not sure about this one. The green tea note is nice but it's really too heavy on the white flowers for me. Not a classic, but I've oversprayed so I'm going to have to get used to it today

SOTD Angel. I know this one has a lot of haters but I like the vanillary chocolate note (and I try not to overspray). I seem to be going for vanilla at the moment.

SotD is the TF Mandarino di Amalfi Aqua again. Nice Herby citrus - big thyme note roughs things up a bit.

Snap! Coffee

My SOTD is also Angel, Edt not Edp as I'm in work.

It is a bit of a Marmite scent but it's my first love and luckily my colleagues seem to like it. I always get positive comments when I wear it.

Hi all - I haven't been on one of these threads for a while. I'm a big 4160 Tuesdays fan.

I've recently moved house and I have just unpacked my SERGE LUTENS sampler I forgot I have -wanted to tell you about it.

You get a waxy sample of many fragrances - each sample is enough for one wear. and they are amazing scents. It's a lovely way to try a bunch of very high end fragrances. I'll post a pic below.

Today I am wearing "Borneo 1834" - powdery & mysterious, floral n& patchouli.

You have to call Serge Lutens shop in Paris to order the "sample book" and it costs €8.50 - 34 samples

Here's a pic.

Still can't do it

SOTD is Prada Infusions Iris Cedre, love this one on a warm day.

I’m seriously tempted by scent addict

The Serge Lutens looks great - off to website to look for it! Thanks for sharing Clitterati

It's a mixed blessing LibertyBlue

I'm adoring the scent I am trialing today - Borneo 1834 - but at €190 for 75mls I'll probably never actually own a bottle.

Still it is developing beautifully - its rather hot jungle like ATM. And it's lovely to wonder what tomorrow will bring?

I've e mailed scent addict twice...mo reply :(

Got a tester of twilly d'hermes today. Totally lovely spicy start not overwhelming tuberose later. Gorgeous

lasttimearound I enjoyed my tester of Twilly. I’d love a bottle- I really like the lid and little scarf it has!

That is rather tempting Clitterati - have always wanted to smell Borneo 1834.

I think it's good, at least for a bit, Blue. Although still afflicted by the same the glitch as MrsR.

I can still smell the sample on me after a full day - so the tiny bit of solid perfume goes a long way. Now I'm lusting after a bottle on Borneo 1834 @ €190, and I didn't even know it existed in the world this morning.

SOTD is LADDM. I've given up on light, citrussy 'summer' scents already.

How do you scent addict??

SOTD Tom Ford Neroli Portofino- very summery for a lovely sunny day. It is the first of my Scent Addict scents and is a lovely citrusy mediterranean fragrance with a herbal undertone.

I've cancelled scent addict as they are very unhelpful and the website is poor

My 4160 bhodi language has arrived but I haven't had chance to smell it yet...
Hope you are all out enjoying the sun x

The webchat with Sarah McCartney has been confirmed. It will be on Thursday 24th May at 9pm.

oh no! that's right when i've just flown out to the states! never mind, i'm sure you'll all have fun doing it

can't decide on a scent for today, i just don't know what i want. Also have to decide what to take on holiday, i'm thinking samples and smaller bottles for maximum choice!!

SOTD Miller Harris Noix de Tubereuse

I'm stuck in archive hell, in a hot basement and there's spiders.

SOTD is Ange au demon - I wanted something long lasting as I knew today wasn't going to be fun. Wish I'd have picked something a bit fresher now.

You sound like you might have been a old lag from earlier threads Clitterati?

That's great news about the webchat! Thanks MrsL for getting the ball rolling on that.

What's happens with the link? How do you get into it? Do I have to use the PC or will it work with the app?

Blue Have you had your perfume party yet?
