I haven’t sniffed Eau My Soul.

Decided on Midnight in the Palace Garden for my SOTD. I adore this one and will one day splurge on a FB (not today, though! Grin).

MrsLucas · 02/11/2018 14:32

Peach too soon to tell - what else can you test him on?

Eau My Soul is half price this week! Anyone want to see my review?

3TresTrois · 02/11/2018 15:06

Ooh your blog post has made me want to try Eau My Soul MissB. Yum!

Ollivander84 · 02/11/2018 15:10

Ordered another 9ml while it's half price!

MrsLucas · 02/11/2018 15:18

Peach's husband has explained why Eay my Soul smells a bit like Seville a L'Aube Grin. I like it - scratches the same sort of itch as L'AdDM. But the outrageous exuberance of Shazam! makes me happier.

He's doesn't play ball when I want him to MrsL. When I shove my wrist under his nose and ask for feedback I get the standard "that's nice"

When I least expect it he comes out with the bizarre comparisons. 🤷🏼‍♀️

MrsLucas · 02/11/2018 21:27

That's a shame Peach - could've been interesting.

fennel I'd love one of your Mrs Gloss samples if they're still going?

Trying to work out what to buy on the 3 for 2 later in the month.

UnnecessaryFennel · 03/11/2018 08:36

No problem pots, PM me your address.

Had time for a two minute sniff in a small-town French perfume shop this morning. Now have a spot of 2013 formulation Tocade on my wrist- love it so much. I have bucketloads of the earlier incarnation left, and they've just announced a 2018 version, but this one is gorgeous.

MrsLucas · 03/11/2018 11:20

Sorry MrsR - my Amberama came to a sad end on the kitchen floor. From memory it's one part Mrs G's Lemon Sherbet (not sure if you have smelt that?) and one part an amber/modern cedar accord.

Whoever said Lemon Sherbet should've been called Lemon Meringue Pie was right - it's a very vanillary/puddingy citrus.

Easy, powdery Chloe Love as SOTD for a trip to the hairdressers to get my fringe (aka poor woman’s Botox) cut back in Grin.

Amberama is nice. Not a 4160 fave, but a definite like. Sweet citrusy opening, then gets woody and quite resinous. Kittens kindly gave me a sample ages ago but it’s almost gone, unfortunately, Mrs8.

Hello lovelies.

Been awol as finally got my contract renewed (on proviso from headmistress that they could keep me till the money runs out Hmm) and started a short term course in another school the same week, so feet haven't touched the ground.

It's been a straight exchange these days between Shalimar/PP Samsara and PP (and real) Opium.

Have sold all the 9ml 4160s I bought over the summer because I don't like them. Grin Have kept my beloved London 1969 and Ealing Green but the rest have gone via the bay of E to more welcoming homes.

My colleague with the oud-fetish gave me some samples....the house is called I profumi del marmo. By heck they like their nappied oud. Grin One smells OK but the others are mingers. Expensive mingers.

MissBattleaxe- we often chat on your FB page! Usually about vintage stuff.

Does anyone have Accord Chic by Yves Rocher?
I’ve discovered I really like Elemi via the bloom incense & resin set.
To me it smells of lemon & pine and really reminds me of Wrappings bracing aspect. Accord Chic has Elemi & incense in it but also such variable reviews.I’m intrigued to see what anyone thinks of it on here.
Peach I ignore my dh when it comes to perfumes as he doesn’t like any. It must be in the genes as ds 1 doesn’t either. Thankfully the other three do. The dd’s trot out beautifully perfumed every day.
