georgian I feel the same about POAL. My skin doesn't seem to like it.

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2019 16:21

My Avon parcel finally arrived so SOTD Avon Timeless.
I like it.
Like Shalimar and chanel no5 rolled into one.

Destiel · 05/02/2019 16:34

Glad you like it :)

I love it.

But dislike both shalimar and channel!!

Destiel · 05/02/2019 16:37

I'm off out later so prob keep to obsession.

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2019 17:02

It's that old school feel. Makes me think of a well polished blonde woman circa 1986

Destiel · 05/02/2019 17:18

Yes!!!!

Destiel · 05/02/2019 17:24

It was created in 1974 I believe

Destiel · 05/02/2019 17:25

Also...just a heads up...Avon have BOGOF on perfume atm.

Ive ordered another bottle of timeless and am trying a bottle of velvet rose.

£5 for 2. Marvellous :)

CountFosco · 05/02/2019 17:29

Washing machine died, 3" crack in the car windscreen (no idea how it happened) and the curtain rail in our bedroom fell down in the last 3 days. Comfort SoTD Ambre Pamplemousse Rose.

Oh bloody hell count !

That's your 3 thing's though, surely?

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/02/2019 19:45

SOTD Chanel 19. Blimey, Count, that must be you for the year.

Got to take the cat in for her teeth tomorrow. DP has taken the day off even though I am now not working Wednesdays, because he is worried I will cry and not be able to leave her.

MissBattleaxe · 05/02/2019 19:58

Avon Velvet Rose? Is that new? Sounds good. I like Avon fragrances. Far Away Infinity smells like Pack Rabanne Olympea.

MissBattleaxe · 05/02/2019 20:00

Paco not Pack. I just received a bottle of Avon Eve Truth. It's a lovely aquatic floral and the bottle is all chiselled glass. So pretty.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 05/02/2019 20:33

Right, who has tried 4160's Tyger Tyger? MissBattleaxe?

There's a bottle on ebay. I've never heard of it before but I like the sound of the notes, and I'm bored and fed up with an itchy spending finger...

Talk me out of it, please.

Destiel · 05/02/2019 21:14

I mean velvet amber!

MrsLucas · 05/02/2019 21:44

Have you seen this Maud?

If you like the sound of the notes, I think you should perform an act of community service and try it for us! Grin

Evening all, sashaying hobbling into the yoga/ perfumista / teenager taking exams cross section of the Venn diagram Grin

I manage a measly one session a week of Iyenvar yoga, hate it when I miss it as I just don't feel right. Limping as I overdid it a bit at the gym tonight (doesn't take much) and my arthritiic knee is playing up. I've got the OML Orange which is nice and is supposed to help with balances but it's not very long lasting.

SOTD today was Next Cashmere

Ollivander84 · 05/02/2019 22:19

Photoshoot tonight so had another spray of another kiss by the fireside after my shower. Worked perfectly with the theme!

MrsLucas · 05/02/2019 23:48

SotE is Halston Amber Woman.

Destiel · 06/02/2019 07:32

Ugh.
Mornings.
So overrated!
Sotd..no idea. Hoping inspiration hits at some point...

fishonabicycle · 06/02/2019 07:46

In with A level taking teenager and home yoga practicing section of Venn diagram. Sotd - only forgot to put some on - argh.

Destiel · 06/02/2019 07:50

I love our venn diagrams :)

fishonabicycle · 06/02/2019 08:35

Walked through Next on way to office - had a spray of a new one in there Wild One. Not bad. A bit vanillary

MissBattleaxe · 06/02/2019 09:41

Dearest Maud no, I haven't tried Tyger, Tyger I'm afraid. Pretty sure it's a big jasmine though. I have Take me To The River and also Wash me In The Water. I was going to review Take Me to The River but someone described it as the smell of "going home with the lead singer" and it was such a brilliant description I didn't think I could top that!

MissBattleaxe · 06/02/2019 09:45
