Hopefully just in time.

All welcome for any perfume talk of an type.

Also started the day in Lentisque and enjoyed it more than last time but oh this weather and it's impact on longevity. SotE April Violets after having a shower and changing for dinner after the hottest day so far in Yorkshire. I am split between thinking this is going to be a historic hot summer and just wishing it would cool down a bit.

Have tried another pair of Clive Christians today - No.1 male and female. Not especially memorable.

SOTD Heeley Hippie Rose. It is raining here, what fuckery is this?

Raining Judy it is still 26C here.

SotD is Silvan Rouge Bunny Rouge, not over impressed. It is OK but misses something. A stout clout of pepper at the beginning, hangs close to the skin. Maybe just not one for this weather.

20 Degrees here and its nearly midnight .

Morning all, back to work and normality after lovely few days in York. Still scorchio - today I'm in Rome 1963 which is lovely in the heat

SotD is Olfactive Studio's Woody Mood layered with Neroli Portofino. Woody mood has a glorious opening of bergamot, ginger, saffron and clary sage. The dry down then goes rather too woody for the weather
, hence some layering.

In PG Limanakia today. I just love it and have ordered a bunch of PG samples from Bloom including a top-up of this one. It's my birthday tomorrow so that's my excuse 😉

SOTD is YSL In Love Again. It is the 2014 version with a lovely heart-shaped bottle. I smell lots of blackcurrant and fresh green notes, with a musky drydown. It has lasted very well in the heat. (29 degrees indoors today!)

Toohotgrumpyface

SOTD is Phaedon Pure Azure, though, which is lovely. Florals and figs and ferns.

Only 19C here today. The bliss! I did completely forget to take perfume to the pool this morning so had to use one of my travelos at work which are all hot weather perfumes at the moment. SotE not decided yet but will be something interesting since it's cool.

Feeling sticky and grumpy. SOTD Chance Eau Fraiche.

Eww have been suffering from suspected food poisoning in this heat. Which has been unpleasant.

SOTD was 4160 Tuesdays Rhubarb and Citrus. It disappeared fairly quickly, as all my perfumes have in this weather.

Cold and cloudy here today. No good. SOTD JHAG Mad Madame.

kittens poor you - feel better soon.

L'eau sur le Nil today, late on, but pleasantly fresh and mango-ey. This was a favourite a few years ago, but wouldn't be now, although I still like the juicy freshness on occasion. It works fine in the heat.

SockDog has been hurling herself into water and has done something painful that means she can hardly wag her tail so we are on minimal exercise for a few days.

Swithered between M&S Sheer Radiance (mandarin, gardenia, pepper) and Paris 1948 today. Both worked in the heat; Sarah McC's nuclear peach chypre has incredible staying power.

Have just bough a little bit of vintage In Love Again Calm!

*bought

Ending the night with another vintage city, Rome 1963. at Last; never mind Mediterranean wood furniture, on a hot night the opening 2 minutes smells just like retsina!

I’m sure you’ll enjoy the “In Love Again” MrsLucas. Yes, Paris 1948 is good in the heat. I love peach notes and in this it’s beautifully non-sweet. It’s the smell equivalent of a taste making your mouth pucker up.

Hope you’re feeling better kittens. Sounds brutal .

SOTD is Songes. Bit cooler here today.

Get well soon, kittens.

SOTD is Aedes de Venustas. Dp forgot my birthday. Not impressed.

Get well soon, Kittens. Food poisoning is why I no longer eat chicken.

SOTD is Phaedon Lentisque. I'm having a good Phaedon run at the moment, since between the two Bloom sample sets I bought there were about four of them. Have loved them ALL.

I'm off to spend my carefully saved Advantage points on something fragrancey today. The attached will be me if I find I haven't got enough for whatever it is I want.

Happy birthday Fennel

Thank you all - feeling so much better and the cooler temperatures are helping

SOTD is Bottega Veneta EDP. Try if you like a leathery iris (even though iris is not listed, I swear I smell it). Warming up for my holiday in Italy next week

Happy birthday Fennel
