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).

Well how lovely it is to see lots of good news for lots of Perfumistas - I feel that it is about time! and for all. (I think we need a perfume bottle symbol MN symbol)

SOTD Prada Iris again, last dregs of sample bottle. Torn between getting this or the new NR Rouge, when funds allow. (A parcel arrived today which I couldn't remember ordering, for a moment I thought I had ordered the NR Rouge but it was just hair bleach. A touch disappointing )

SotD #1 - Eau de Campagne. Can't quite make my mind up. Love the opening with an absolute passion, but something puts me off a bit as it moves into its heart notes.

SotD #2 - Cardamone. 70s Lanvin - made exclusively for the Middle Eastern market. Glorious stuff! MrsS - this made me think of you, and of the Father/Grandfather of your Lebanese business man. If you're out there and would like to try some PM me.

Fennel (and Calm & Pest ) - I made it to the PO.

Floof: think this one dates back to the thread featuring bad teeth and perimenopause as sets in our Venn diagram. Our demographic may have changed...?

I don't know kittens, not knowing what those smell like. To me, it's a fresh, zingy scent.

I ordered this month's samples from Feel Unique today. They've got a lot of perfume samples on there this month, including about 7/8 Floral Street ones. I ordered FS Peony and FS Vanilla Orchid as well as a Valentino one, and the new Gucci Bloom. (A skincare product made up my 5th sample.)

SOTD was MMM Untitled, but now in 19 and pyjamas.

MrsL the teeth situ rumbles on here, but I am hopeful the clenching and grinding stops when we’re a two income household again!

SOTD - another kiss by the fireside. Really like this perfume, it's like sexiest scent in that it just "suits" me

I must get my hands on some more Sexiest Scent when I’ve got the spare funds. My sample ran our long ago. Such a gorgeous perfume.

I’m in D&G Light Blue this morning and off to yoga in a bit. First day of my new gym membership and I am determined to actually use it this time 😆

SOTD is Etui Noir. I'm at work

SotD yesterday was MG Fire. My officemate really liked it . Stressful day at work, followed by a work event where a senior manager spent the evening with his tongue down the throat of a married woman (she has young kids). Lost all respect I ever had for him.

This morning got a knock on the door, I was still in my dressing gown after my late night, DD had a Brownie trip that DH had forgotten to put in the diary! Cue 5 minutes mad panic while DD got dressed and I sorted out a packed lunch for her. Major parenting fail.

SotD No 19, for a flower power fair. Have been wearing my flares all week to get them good and grimy

Lovely SOTD L’Artisan Skin on Skin. So leathery and lush

Oh dear Fosco you’ve had quite a time of it. I fear major parenting fails- always feel like im winging it and must admit I forgot to feed her lunch today as I was so engrossed in housework

Off swimming, shopping and drinking some gin later! It’s international gin day would be rude not to

Get the PP dupe of the Prada Iris, Floofy; it is brillliant, and I think it lasts better too.

Great news for Judy and MrJ! You must both be so relieved. Wishing him fair winds for the first day.

SoTD is Feu Follet, again!

Home to a fab and very generous package from MrsL, thank you! I have actually managed to get yours and Count's in the post this morning so hopefully will be with you soon.

Hello lovelies, popping in from my lost-my-perfume-mojo isolation to say I was complimented on my perfume today, not once, but twice...and guess what it was? PP Rive Gauche

Off to catch up with your fragrant news now...will be hitting the UK on 29th for my 2 mth stint so am making mahoosive shopping lists already!

Congrats to Fennel/Mr Judy, welcome home honey to 3 and Floof. (it's me PIAM a couple of names down the line btw, shall be changing again when the thread changes)

School finishes here on Tues but then we have final marks meetings etc, at the mo' it's one long round of end of term concerts for us, as staff, and for the kids (dd, piano/violin, Chinese exam this morning, we are all exhausted) Finally made the leaving video for my 2 fifth yr classes, complete with cheesy music, my how we sobbed )

I do hope so Judy - hope you are able to enjoy being under a bit less pressure.

You're welcome Fennel - let me know what you think of them. (Hope the decants aren't too much on the masculine side?).

Loads of L'Artisans in TK Maxx right now Then - they should be going into clearance just as you arrive .

Not quite sure how I managed to have the sad face next to my officemate liking the perfume, I was delighted about that!

Anyway, alls well that ends well, DD had a fabulous time on her trip so that was good.

I'm staying well away from 4160 atm...too tempting.

I will def need another FB of sexiest scent when mine is gone.

Sotd MG lemon

Hello PIAM

I'm very lack lustre with my perfume choices right now.

SOTE Is Vanderbilt Woman, which is a sweet, woodsy and lightly powdery vanilla-and-peach fragrance. Like a slightly fruitier and less powerful Guerlain L'Instant Magic. I reached for it in apathy, but its quite soothing tonight, actually.

SOTD is MH Rose Silence. then we have three weeks until the end, although students are pretty much done. I feel like I am on my knees now!

Hermes Pamplemousse Rose is Sotd. It’s so beautiful in hot weather.
Bloody 19 year old doing a repeat A level and two teenagers are driving me bonkers today.
What makes them think they know it all?

Ha!
That didn't last long...
Mrsgloss code still works so I've ordered a 9ml of mrsgloss indoors.
Lots of very boring household stuff to do today and busy week ahead.
Boo.
Sotd prob sexiest scent

SOTD - clean outdoor shower fresh

hello all! I am home from my 2 week stint in america! well, i arrived home a couple of days ago but omg JET LAG!

No SOTD as yet, fresh out of the shower and enjoying the scent of my Lush Rose Jam shower gel.

In Light Blue again and off for a swim. Wilfully ignoring any talk of 4160 codes 😆
