SOTD Creamy Vanilla Crumble. Usually my cosy bedtime scent; today I needed some cosyness to make up for the fact I'm feeling crap but not quite crap enough for a day off work Hmm

Roll on Friday!

67chevvyimpala · 14/02/2019 07:08

I hear you!

I feel grotty but not stay in bed grotty

67chevvyimpala · 14/02/2019 07:10

Sotd Avon timeless

I’m just starting to explore perfume more seriously, and I’ve been enjoying ordering and trying lots of samples.

Right now I’m wearing Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle. This one is so disappointing. I love it, but it just doesn’t last on me. I doused myself in this and an hour and a half later it’s barely there at all. I was really hoping this was going to be something I could wear once the weather gets a bit warmer.

SOTD Jour d'Hermes for a visit from the big boss. Went ok thank goodness. Now in hairdresser's getting my roots seen to!

ToftheB · 14/02/2019 16:52

Against all sensible advice, I nipped back to TK Maxx and got that bottle of Tea Tonique.

I like it, phew! It’s not quite how I’d imagined (less citrus, more sweet warmth) but it’s got a very clear tea note and it’s both interesting and very wearable. I think I’m going to enjoy it.

teta · 14/02/2019 17:06

Guerlain’s Nahema for valentines day this morning. Showered and Profumum Roma’s Neroli for a school thing.

MyNameIsFloofyImAPerfumeAddict · 14/02/2019 18:04

What is it with schools and Valentine's night, Teta? We have something on too and DH and I had plans to lie next to each other in bed on our phones

Aubergine Congratulations to DS!

MrsM bwah ha ha at the "bad boys" Grin

blank hello, are you a new recruit or a name changer, I'm so confused with all the NCs recently Smile

SOTD is the Be Delicious Night which chevvy very kindly sent me (I did PM you to say thanks but can't get into my inbox now Hmm so hope you got it!) I actually really like, the sweet stage is very quick to dry down to a powdery floral on me. It's really cheered me up which I needed today as my epilepsy is going haywire and I can't have my driving licence back. I am extremely pissed off (and achey!) to say the least Angry On the plus side, for anyone considering lip fillers, can I recommend biting through your lips instead? Once you clean the blood up you have gorgeous full lips Grin and it's free Grin

Spring is definitely coming though and I went out with a jumper but no coat before!

KaliforniaDreamz · 14/02/2019 18:04

SOTD was Timeless but i have just applied MH Tender and it is lovely but it is giving me a headache.

hope all ok with Lotso baby x

MrsMoggs · 14/02/2019 18:10

Hope you're OK Floof and Pots?

67chevvyimpala · 14/02/2019 18:12

floofy I did get your PM thank you and I replied :)

Glad you like it! Hoping for better times for you x

Sending love to lots and & minilots x

67chevvyimpala · 14/02/2019 18:56

Sote Avon soft musk

I'm fed up

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 14/02/2019 19:22

Gosh, Floofy, hope you're ok Flowers

How's babypots today?

Full of cold, I must've oversprayed this morning as I had lots of compliments on CVC from both colleagues and students Grin

Only one more day to go and then I have a week off work (to supervise ds's GCSE revision really but, hey, a break's a break) - cannot wait.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 14/02/2019 19:23

What's up chevvy?

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 14/02/2019 19:24

Sorry, meant to bold that Grin

67chevvyimpala · 14/02/2019 19:25

Blah.
Nothing really.
Just endoftermitis I guess :)

PestyMachtubernahme · 14/02/2019 19:37

67 you are allowed to be pissed off.

Floofy yep, it does wonders for pouty lips. That does not mean it is good. Flowers

SotD Tokyo Launderette's Dead Sexy. This is becoming a bit of a go to, mainly because it is on the kitchen counter Hmm Perfectly average.

CountFosco · 14/02/2019 20:00

SotD Happy which is going off a bit. It's not the most stable perfume. Then SotE is my Valentine present (bought by me!) Rose Silence. I smell very rosey now!

CountFosco · 14/02/2019 20:03

Oh, meant to say Tea Tonique reminds me of EA Green Tea. Lovely in hot weather.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/02/2019 20:59

SOTD L’Air de Rien. We don’t get half term. Cries forever.

Shall I start a new thread?

Lotsofpots · 14/02/2019 21:50

Baby much improved but sadly still in hospital. Still requiring oxygen at night (in fact the blasted machine has just started beeping again - I hoped tonight would be the night he'd manage without). But he's active and happy, and a hundred times better than he was even yesterday morning.

Blank I feel like a complete perfume Philistine for even admitting this but I just can't find a FM perfume I like. I should love POAL based on the notes but I just find it very blah.

SOTD is 4160 sexiest scent. It's comforting and also appropriate for a valentines where DH and I passed like ships in the night, only speaking to provide updates on whichever child we were responsible for.

Blankpaper · 14/02/2019 22:52

blank hello, are you a new recruit or a name changer, I'm so confused with all the NCs recently

Both! This is a new name (because of the data breach), but I’m also new to the thread. I don’t know much about perfume at all, but I’m interested in learning. I bought a stack of samples from Les Scenteurs and Scent Samples and I’ve been working through them one by one.

67chevvyimpala · 15/02/2019 09:44

Nice avon samples thanks floofy bit I must order any more this month :)

Sotd pp by the fireplace and various avon samples on various bits of my anatomy ;)

67chevvyimpala · 15/02/2019 09:53

I've done a new thread but I dont know how to link to it!

Argh!
