On a cheerier note, it appears to be National Fragrance Week. Having read the blurb, this is where the industry encourages consumers to buy more develop their scent wardrobes.

67chevvyimpala · 22/03/2019 09:47

I noticed that.

I need a scent for marching :)

MrsMoggs · 22/03/2019 10:11

The original Isabella Rossellini Manifesto? Exclamation?

67chevvyimpala · 22/03/2019 10:43

😁

Good suggestions!

KaliforniaDreamz · 22/03/2019 12:07

sotd by the fireplace - iam determined to get this.

signed too

MrsMoggs · 22/03/2019 16:40

My Tauers have arrived Smile, but I have succumbed to the thread lurgy and can't smell properly Sad.

67chevvyimpala · 22/03/2019 17:00

Oh no mrsm hope it doesn't develop into the full hideousness :(

MotherOfDragonite · 22/03/2019 18:24

SOTD is Hidden on the Rooftops. I love it for when I'm in the office as it feels subtle enough that I won't scare anyone. But it's worn off by the end of the day so I might need an evening scent!

I've been trying some 4160 Tuesdays samples and, after a rather unsuccessful start with Babylon Sunset and Tokyo Spring Blossom (both of which I thought I'd adore but didn't at all) I am now very much enjoying the rummy sweetness of Dark Heart of Old Havana and What I Did On My Holidays, which makes me laugh with pleasure at all the seaside allusions in the smells. Although at first sniff I do get a strongly lemon-sherberty overtone that is a bit like a lemon-scented cleaning product, weirdly, I adore it all.

MotherOfDragonite · 22/03/2019 18:25

Get better soon, MrsM. Time to pull out the vitamin C and echinacea, in our house!

We're just waiting around to see if DD (5) gets the vomiting bug that struck four of her classmates at school today. Yeeeuch.

MrsMoggs · 22/03/2019 18:53

Thank you - sipping hot lemon and wondering why PM appears to only own one coat? Expect her to appear with the hood fully zipped up at the despatch, box anytime now, like the kid in the parka in East is East.

MrsMoggs · 22/03/2019 18:54

apologies for rogue punctuation.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/03/2019 00:00

SOTD was JHAG Mad Madame. SOTE MMM Fireplace. Hope everyone’s okay, have been trapped in the BT pop up and not able to get on any thread.

Sotd pp by the fireplace

🇪🇺❤🚶‍♀️

KaliforniaDreamz · 23/03/2019 09:31

What scent do you reckon she wears?

Happy marching to all those going.

SOTD will be L'air de Rien

MotherOfDragonite · 23/03/2019 09:38

Happy marching from me too. We're still on vom-alert here.

I'm wearing Eau my Soul. It's the first 4160 Tuesdays fragrance that I feel I've 'felt' with my heart rather than my head, if that makes sense. On me, it's reminiscent of California in the early 1990s, a boho, sweet, incensey, sandalwood vibe in a yoga retreat. But in the nicest possible way. And a little cognac to relax with.

MotherOfDragonite · 23/03/2019 09:40

What do people recommend from PP? I'm looking at a dupe of Back to Black and wondering if it's a good idea (or not).

MrsMoggs · 23/03/2019 09:49

I have that Mother - I like it. But I have not smelt the original.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/03/2019 22:15

SOTD POAL. Loved seeing all the march photos on Instagram.

SOTD: MG Fire, for marching. Brilliant day, knackered.

1frenchfoodie · 23/03/2019 22:53

Good question mother I am new to PP, courtesy of this group and have a few things in my basket. And a €95 MMM By the Fireplace real version elsewhere. I am tempted by PP but I’d love some trusted views.I have the following saved:
Wood fire- by the fireplace MMM
Black afg - Black Afgano Nasomatto
Torn for men - terre d’hermes
Saont III - Santal 33 Le labo
Spicees and woodies - Creed spice and wood
Backz to blak - back to black by killian

67chevvyimpala · 23/03/2019 22:56

Also knackered.

Amazing day. Incredible atmosphere.

67chevvyimpala · 23/03/2019 22:57

Wood fire is incredible and I've worn both pp and the real thing on both wrists and to me they were almost indistinguishable.

1frenchfoodie · 24/03/2019 06:41

Thanks chevy , you’ve saved me a fortune. Totally agree on your view on the referendum at the top of the page too!
