Habanita is LUSH

Oh Lotso i hope you're ok xx

georgian i have to say don't bother with Matalan - i popped into the downstairs loo earlier and thought there was a very stale perfume type smell mixed with stagnant water. Yep - the new reed diffuser. It'll be going in the recycling. Sorry.

chevvy i got so may food dupes in Aldi that i can't stop eating crap, it's as if Lent has made me worse. LOL. sorry Jesus.

SO.... the PP scents.
My God i am a veritable mix of fragrances as i couldnt wait to try them so sprayed them all at once.

Babies Grace - dupe for Philosophy discontinued Baby Grace. It is so good. Exactly like the original.

Torn for me (Hermes d'hermes dupe) Oh dear God i could repopilate the earth with this one. on my own.
too good to give to my DH i am wearing it.

Faarenheigh (um, Fahrenheit dupe) just gorgeous and evoking lots of memories ha ha

Geevenchy (yes you get the picture) perfecty fine

Wood Fire - no is this the one you all bang on about?
it is too sweet for me. but then i am not wearing it. i need to wear it dont i?

Torn for MEN. not Me. Dear God.

sorry loads of typos apologies

Sorry to hear you've had a bad day, pots, hope it improves soon

My Imaginary Authours samples arrived. Gave Every Storm A Serenade (spruce, eucalyptus, vetiver, calone, ambergris and sea water) straight to ds and will keep the rest for myself.

Yes you do need to wear it! :)

I've just eaten a cream doughnut. Lent schment :)

Sote AT LADDM

The pp version does start off sweeter than the original but it dries down beautifully

I don't say this lightly but Andy tauer is a genius

Is Andy Tauer Habanita?

i am going to start afresh with Wood Fire in the morning - at present all i can smell is chaos.

I also got this amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00973BR62/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]]

• i don't know why.

jesus i'm not pregnant am i

No, Habanita is Molinard, dates originally from 1921. Although there have been major reformulations. The current version (2012 onwards) is really good and arguably is an easier wear.

SOTD Chanel 19. I feel properly shite again. I have had this cold in various guises since mid-December. I know I really shouldn’t moan when people have it so, so much worse, but I am.

Oh dear Judy, sounds rotten, hope the cold finally buggers off sharpish.

SOTD is IA Slow Explosions. Bit of an odd start which I've not quite got my head around yet, but quite quickly dries into a rather wearable spicy, leathery apple. Sweetish but the leather keeps it non-gourmand. It's a yes from me

Long day at work today and then out tonight for my closest colleague's leaving drinks

I'm totally in denial that I'm getting ds2s lurgy.....
Nope. Nothing to see here!
Ugh.
Oh judy...poor you :(

In Diorling for International Women s Day. Following the Barbara Herman thesis on complex 70s green/leather chypres and the rise of the WLM.

Ooooooh my niche w box has arrived!

Lots of lovely treats:)

I haven't had time to sniff any yet...I'll do it later.

I love these boxes...all packaged like little gifts :)

Happy international women's day my fragrant friends x

I'm in RL Woman for International Women's Day, it's not a favourite but was the most apt one I had!

SotD Olbas Oil. I'll join Judy and Chevvy in the sick bay.

Cani recommend you all get some ecinachea drops/ garlic tabs and these
amazon.co.uk/Unbeelievable-Health-Bee-Prepared-Strength/dp/B0081RQ058/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3BDV6CNZF4NMT&keywords=bee+vitamins&qid=1552040878&s=gateway&sprefix=bee+vit%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-5]]

they may help stop any colds from developing further into flu. recommended by my GP!

sotd Wood Fire and i can smell the smoke now oooh lush.

Happy Internation Women's Day to you all - thanks for a soft place to land away from RL. xx

I'm taking ds back to drs later.

He just doesn't seem better at all.

kali told you :)

I'm in AT LADDM again. So beautiful.

I've had a sniffathon and like a few of the samples. The handcream and face mask are welcome.

Calycanthus is my Sotd. It was suitable for a chilly but springlike morning. Dd1 back from uni so I’m taking her out for lunch. She looks tired and spotty so needs a bit of spoiling.
Commiserations Chevvy. I hope the Gp helps and the rest of the Sick Bay start feeling better soon.💐Echinacea is good stuff. You have a forward thinking gp Kalifornia!

Oh judy that sucks. Bad colds are awful, you have my every sympathy.

Right I need to get on the Habanita bandwagon. It's getting a lot of love!

My crappy day of yesterday was much improved by the brilliant response of the police to my incident, who have taken it really seriously and been utterly lovely to boot. V much in the spirit of international women's day!

Sote Avon timeless (I've got 2 back up bottles of this beauty in my perfume drawer. Yes. I have a perfume drawer. There is no hope for me)

I might try my "new" gucci tomorrow
