Also - am thinking of getting a friend a voucher for the afternoon workshop at 4160 Tuesdays - has anyone here done that? Is it worth doing?

Destiel · 01/02/2019 12:31

I'm hoping to do one this year...would like to know too :)

auberginesrus · 01/02/2019 12:50

I went to one of the evening workshops last year - loved it. Less fond of my creation though!

SOtD is by the fireside for a very cold office (but no snow)

Fish Best days of my life, after birth days of DCs obvs.Smile. Key is to prepare a bit around an idea and a long list of notes you like. Quite intense experiences. Wildly creative and very educational.

fishonabicycle · 01/02/2019 17:17

Thank you! I will definitely get it for her. She really likes perfume and it's a really unusual present (much more fun than trying to find a gift).

Destiel · 01/02/2019 17:56

I'm going to ask for one for mothers day/Easter I think :)

I'm ordering more Avon as they have a BOGOF deal on atm!

MrsLucas · 01/02/2019 18:26

SotD by proxy has been Home Bargains's Pomegranate perfume. Popped some in DS's stocking and he's wearing it today - smells fab on him.

Destiel · 01/02/2019 19:39

Sotde pp by the fireplace.

Lush.

cantbelievemyeyes · 01/02/2019 20:35

SOTD for first day of my new job was FM Noir Epices. SOTE for an evening huddled around the fire had to be PP By The Fireplace obviously.

WineNotTea · 01/02/2019 20:38

SOTD By The Fireplace. I wasn’t sure about it at first, it’s a little spicy for me but as it’s worn on it’s growing on me.

I’ve yet to decide on which MMM to wear tomorrow.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 01/02/2019 20:50

SOTD was FM POAL for lovely lunch with my friend - we have a weird kind of half term thing today because it’s the end of the semester. SOTE after a bath is MIss Dior.

MrsLucas · 02/02/2019 10:01

Morning All.

Have slighly lost mojo Sad. SotD is Root of All Goodness, a lovely, gentle gingery vetiver. Reminds me slightly of something from long ago.

KaliforniaDreamz · 02/02/2019 10:20

Morning fragrance fans. lost my mojo too. Mrs that perfume sounds very nice.

can anyone help me with a link to this by the fireplace stuff i feel i MUST try it!!

CountFosco · 02/02/2019 11:35

SotD Live in Love. White flowers seem to suit the white snow, not in the mood for heavy spice at all today. Beautiful morning here, kids have been out in the garden playing in the snow and DH has now taken them sledging. I'm tidying up so house looks vaguely respectable when my friend babysits tonight but swanning about in my hush pyjama bottoms and cashmere jumper so feel glam.

kali perfume parlour. It's called wood fire.

Destiel · 02/02/2019 11:53

Sotd - perhaps unsurprisingly - pp by the fireplace :)

Cold, brisk but sunny here and no snow.

I may get another 50ml of it tbh. I'm having Brexit related perfume shortage nightmares :(

WineNotTea · 02/02/2019 12:29

SOTD Philosophy - Amazing Grace. I’d forgotten how much I love this scent, so clean and fresh.

UnnecessaryFennel · 02/02/2019 13:46

Ha, destiel, perhaps I can justify my habit by saying I'm stockpiling. Stockpiling happiness Grin

SOTD is Penhaligon's Halfeti. A rich, spicy woody rose on me, not bad at all. There's supposedly oud in this but I don't get it thankfully

KaliforniaDreamz · 02/02/2019 14:20

Destiel thank you

Can we take a moment to thank whichever Deity you prefer for the fact that my search is over. i have located my forgotten perfume and it is... DRUM ROLL...

Miller Harris Coeur de Fleur

it is beautiful

teta · 02/02/2019 14:40

Well done Kalifornia.It’s just sunshine and happiness in a bottle Coeur de Fleur.
It’s so beautiful and a little ephemeral.
Sotd is White by Pure Distance.

KaliforniaDreamz · 02/02/2019 14:43

teta it is sultry and mossy and yet safe and motherly all at once!

Destiel · 02/02/2019 14:46

Sounds lovely!!

Destiel · 02/02/2019 15:22

fennel very necessary to me :)

MrsLucas · 02/02/2019 17:21

Coeur de Fleur sighted in TK Maxx today...
