[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

New thread for scented discussion, plus cats, teeth, and cats with problem teeth. Everyone welcome, we are as friendly as the title suggests!

Thank you teta and 67chevyimpala

beanaseireann found this thread on Fragrantica which might help? www.fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=101804&show=all

I used to use the shower oil but haven't had any for a couple of years so my memory of the scent is a bit vague. But someone in that thread mentioned the Piver Heliotrope Blanc, and I think it might well go nicely. I actually picked up a bottle for £9.99 in TK Maxx last week and it doesn't last very long, but it's so lovely. It was in the men's fragrance section in mine.

Am also thinking Etro's Heliotrope might be worth trying, similar to the Piver but more expensive, and a stronger scent- think there are samples on eBay, and there's definitely some Piver on there for £20 delivered at the moment.

I'm baking so smell of sugar and vanilla

SotD Avery E. I'm about halfway through my Perfume Society samples and everytime I wear this I enjoy it more. No idea how to choose between this and Nuit de Bakelite, they are so different and both fab.

I was tempted by niche box 2

Aaaaand...I've just bought niche box 2

🙄😩😂

I need to buy niche box 2.

67 you're your own enabler!

sotd Acqua de wotsit Iris Noble LOVE IT

I have box 1 and have been sitting on my hands so as not to buy box 2. Shall we all go for it?
Ooh I saw that Heliotrope in Tk Maxx the other day and thought it looked interesting.But then forgot to google.
Sotd is James Heeley Verveine. Yes, I can now smell it in full. It wasn’t the perfume it’s my nose. It must have been this long lasting flu-type bug. I wish my ears would go back to normal too as I can’t stay in any balance poses at the moment.

Scherrer Les Nuits Indiennes is a great heliotrope (with interesting progression) available on eBay for £12.99. The dark Aubade, (cant remember the name) keeps turning up in TKMaxx and is, as you might expect a rich boudoir-tastic, almond.

Yes do!!!
....itll make me feel better and we can all have a sniff off :)
I was really impressed with box 1 and am still using the face oil from it.

Come ooooooon.....

You know you want to....

😂😂😂🐑

I'm up for it (what a surprise )

Anyone else?

Tee hee

I will, of course, pass on any I'm not keen on to interested perfumistas :)

if you were going to blind buy from online tkmax what would u choose?

www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/beauty/fragrance+perfume/c/01060500?q=&sort=publishedDate-desc&facets=stockLevelStatus:inStock&page=0

For me from those choices either must de Cartier or aerin amber musk

I have it already . Not as good as Niche 1, but still worth it. Will be interesting to trade views (Big Sniff territory?) Quite a lot of Byredo lookalikes (not sure if some of these are recent start-ups?). Two very different nerolis.

I'm excited!

I've got that and my les senteurs samples on the way!

Kalifornia - if you fancy something a bit off beat, Haute Voltige is a snip at that price. It's a Bertrand Duchaufour and is an oddly medicinal/metallic pomegranate, juniper, moss and fir.

Thank you Mrs

sorry, and chevvy altho i cannot see a de cartier....

i must look in the men's section too

Georgina i think the Aldi jo malone dupes are pretty good.
