Has anyone tried the lady gaga perfume eau de gaga?

Ooh ooh oooh me Wolves. I've got a bottle. I find it very nice - lime, florals, tea, leather, a bit of wood. It's not as ground-breaking as it sounds but it's pleasant to wear.

£3 is a steal!

CountFosco · 21/09/2018 23:55

SotD ELDO Tom of Finland. Tons of leather.

Not sure if anyone else had posted but loads of Byredo on TK Maxx website, all around £80

MrsLucas · 22/09/2018 09:17

So much, Ollivander; we did speculate that some of it will end up in clearance, which would be great!

University drop today so something relatively innocuous - Jo Malone Nutmeg and ginger. Dd1 a bit apprehensive and tearful about missing the dog. Not us...

Ollivander84 · 22/09/2018 10:23

Mrs Grin oh yes
I will take another gypsy water and I want to try the Sunday one too

PlausibleSuit · 22/09/2018 10:46

SOTD Stash SJP

Have to go and make cooing noises later over my brother's new sofa Hmm

I mean how much is there to say

'Lovely lumbar support...'

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 22/09/2018 10:59

Good luck Teta and family.

SoTD Bel Respiro. I was very meh about this at first, but now I love it. It's a thing of quiet green beauty.

SOTD gold sugar

MrsLucas · 22/09/2018 12:07

Good luck to Teta and her DD.

UnnecessaryFennel · 22/09/2018 12:31

Good luck teta dd!

SOTD is Prada Oeillet. A quiet, warm spice. I like.

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 22/09/2018 12:52

Haha, Blah- I started in lemon sherbert but the vanilla irritated me too much and made me feel headachy so I switched to BR! Maybe we are Evil-Perfume-Twins.

Only 2 hours later and the BR has all but gone.

SOTD was 4160 Who Knew. My absolute scent of the moment and I needed to steel myself for hosting a birthday party for my 3yo. It saw me through (along with mid morning cava).

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 22/09/2018 15:05

SOTD is L'air Du Temps, managed to bag 30mls for £7.50 in my local boots Grin big fan of this because of silence of the lambs Blush
it is lovely however just on it's own with no literary reference needed!

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 22/09/2018 15:48

I've had a shower and am now in Library of Fragrance Mountain Air. Has an odd opening reminiscent of Amarige, or Eau du Flyspray as my Mum used to call it. I quite like it (both Mountain Air and Amarige) but I wouldn't call the former very mountain-airy.

L'Air du Temps is magnificent. And a masterclass to the PM manufacturers on how something can be sweet and pretty without being a minger.

AdoraBell · 22/09/2018 17:37

SOTD is AP -something- Noir.

MrsLucas · 22/09/2018 18:33

Acqua di Parma Sandalo (another FU sample) - gorgeous! L'Elephant and Elephant fans you need to try this. Very cosy and grown up mysore sandalwood and cardamon combo.

Calm - this is one with your name on! Hope you, Pest and Blue are all doing OK?

UnnecessaryFennel · 22/09/2018 19:15

SOTE is MMM By The Fireplace.

Mmm indeed Grin

SOTD Heeley Hippie Rose. Foul temper, because dying of period pain, and because some bastard has hacked my Instagram account. It’s still there, with someone else’s name (possibly Russian, going by all the articles I’ve read on this happening) but I am totally locked out. I don’t have loads of followers, about 500, but I post every day and it’s quite carefully “curated” (sorry to sound like a total wanker) so I am really upset.

MrsLucas · 22/09/2018 22:23

That's pants Judy. Flowers

beanaseireann · 23/09/2018 08:36

Whoever mentioned on this thread that L'aimant was a dupe of No.5.
You're right !
