Mother thank you for asking, I have been reading (especially enjoyed the cake bit, mango sounded wonderful!) but mostly reading in hospitals this week - I'm not jinxing anything like I did on my last post by saying MiniFloof is recovering well but fingers crossed...
I'm still up for swapsies but can't bear to look at the state of my perfume drawer, I must tidy it when I have time and then offer anything I have going begging...
To add to my woes this week I ripped my newly arrived samples open and eagerly tried Floral Street Vanilla Orchid (foolishly straight onto skin) very keen to smell like a custard eating Barbie....well not only did it ming, I sprayed it near a healing tattoo, so it stung most horrifically and I can't scrub it off Why is the best longevity always on scents you hate?!
Also hated Chypre Sublime - I may have been biased after painful Barbie custard incident - but something very unpleasant, not bitter exactly but a strong note of something "off" maybe the geranium? On paper I should love this too Debating trying Neon Rose and the Iris one or just blacklisting Floral Street in a temper tbh...
Also disliked Kenzo World (this is one of the ubiquitous girls' changing rooms at school scents). Anything with the words mischievous and joyful in the blurb, can automatically fuck right off I think 
The (Roger and Gallet?) Neroli was nice and pleasant but nothing more. Maybe I'm just in far too grumpy a mood to appreciate anything 
Teta how annoying your delivery hasn't come, my Feel Unique samples were late but I assumed it was Bank Holiday delays. So annoying when you're waiting for the postie (and not choosing a SOTD in case they arrive ) Did you pay via credit card?
Tracy I haven't joined the Perfume Society but all the boxes I have tried have been really interesting. Do it
SOTW has bizarrely been No.19 - disliked it when I tried it years ago but I keep seeing it as Judy's SOTD 
so gave it another whirl and it's really grown on me. Good for this weather.
