Many happy returns MrsR8.

That is awful Sud Flowers.

But it's got to be most sumptuous, decadent turnip in history! Try 31 Rue Cambon and Sycomore too.

My first foray into 4160 Tuesdays. I bought my mum Sex Goddess and got a sample of The Sexiest Scent on the Planet with it, and am totally in love with it!

Must remember to look out for it on Half Price week.

Can anyone tell me what Captured by Candlelight is like please?

Sotd is totally unseasonal Lilas mauve, only because there’s a tiny bit left in the bottle. And I’m trying to reduce the number of perfumes on my Fragrantica listing. I use my Yves Rocheur sprays to perfume my eBay sales. Am I the only one to do this?
Sud how absolutely infuriating!
Happy birthday MrsR8.
Floofy you have a wonderful turn of phrase.
Are there lots of new people on this thread or has everyone name changed .

Grin at Did. You're missing out!

Good description *Blah+.

I am schlepping to the Post Office (ebaying- this is the bit I hate about it Grin) and am in PP 24 Faubourg. Marvellous.

Happy birthday mrsR Thanks

decidedly unperfumed today as my chest is really sore, i'm a bit wheezy and i'm coughing a lot in the early morning and late on at night. seem to be relatively okay during the day but i have a doctors appointment later to have my chest listened to so hopefully they will sort it out. Don't think i need anti biotics but possibly do need steroids just to strengthen my chest a bit, i always get it this time of year when it can't decide if it's going to be hot or cold and it's starting to get damp.

it is mrsR the changing seasons really mess my chest up, it's the same every single year around this time. THink I'm doing better than last year though when i ended up with pneumonia!!! certainly feel better than that but want it to be sorted asap before it gets worse and really floors me. I haven't got time to be really ill right now, i'm packing to move and I literally move in about two and a half weeks so there's no time for me to take to my bed with illness

Thinking of doing another PP order but can't decide what to get. I have quite a few already and all but one of them were hits for me, i passed the one that didn't work for me onto someone on thread though i can't remember who and i don't think it worked for them either! shame but nice to be able to pass things along/swap things with like minded people who get 'it' Grin

Oops! Just seem to have ordered Captured by Candlelight. I am very impressed the way that Sexiest scent lingers on me and I can smell wafts of it during the day. I hope I like CBC as much.

Lotsofpots · 08/10/2018 17:55

Had to kill time in Westfield so had a mosey round JL perfume dept. Tried the new JM - feels heady and floral in a way that doesn't work for me. Makes me smell older than I'd like. Tried by the fireplace again and blimey its good. Definitely ordering a PP dupe of this.

SOTD is the glorious Avignon. First run out of the year for this one, like meeting an old friend

Envious of the Avignon!

SotD: Magie Noire. Gosh, had forgotten how even the modern version is a civet and honey bomb.

Ohhhhhh, I LOVE Ginger Essence too blah; it's so brisk and uplifting, yet warm and comforting at the same time. I keep meaning to get a bottle, not had one for years.
