Evening all Grin

Apologies for the cheesy thread title.

Come and join the MN Perfumistas for gorgeously-scented chat (or Germolene and burnt frankfurters...)

On the high street, I find Givenchy L’Interdit has a strong tuberose. It also has sweet toffee notes.

CountFosco · 28/04/2019 11:49

Out of curiosity what is the germolene scent mentioned in the opening post?

Nuit de Bakelite by Naomi Goodsir. My favourite tuberose. But bonkers and NSFW.

Iambuffy · 28/04/2019 12:48

Black opium again today.

If I didn't know I would never guess in a million years this was an opium flanker.

MotherOfDragonite · 28/04/2019 13:08

Thank you so much for the tuberose suggestions, everyone! I have tried Do Son and it wasn't great on me, but all the others are new to me and a great place to start. Think I am due a trip to Liberty, Bloom and Les Senteurs at some point...

Nuit de Tuberose sounds just up my street, Calm.

SOTD is Monyette Paris for a lazy Sunday visiting family.

cantbelievemyeyes · 28/04/2019 13:22

Mother another tuberose you might like to try is Nasomatto Narcotic V. They have it in Liberty and Selfridges. I have Fracas which I love, but have to be in mood for it. Narcotic V is easier to wear.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 28/04/2019 14:33

Afternoon all Smile

SOTD is Blood Concept Killer Vanilla - style over substance really but a decent leather if you like that sort of thing. I think I'll stick to Feu Follet and Etui Noir for my leather fix, though.

Mother, Fracas is probably the ultimate tuberose and a real classic. Give it a whirl, although I agree that Carnal Flower is probably an easier wear...just!

Now on AT ACDD for yoga

Iambuffy · 28/04/2019 17:05

Avon tomorrow has arrived.
Very nice!

Iambuffy · 28/04/2019 17:16

It's by Olivier cresp.
Not bad for £8!

herbafresca · 28/04/2019 18:03

I'm very excited. I bought a bottle of eau de givenchy yesterday. i wore this a lot in the early 90s and I still love it. I am getting a slight peppery hit from the new version but it is as sparkling as I remember it.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/04/2019 18:06

SOTD is Floral Street Wonderland Peony. I smell like I've been doused in pina colada & rolled around a tropical beach then dipped in the salty ocean. Not over keen.

MotherOfDragonite more mainstream with tuberose is Michael Kors's Michael Kors Woman.
Avon's Rare Platinum smells very similar to the MK one but is heavier & I found it too much.

FloofyCatAndThePinkMingers you've enabled me! I've joined The Perfume Society & The Day & Night Edit is on it's way.

Iambuffy · 28/04/2019 18:46

I've bagged some Prada amber on Ebay!
Excellent:)

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 28/04/2019 19:05

SOTD FM POAL, today and yesterday. Yesterday was like the end of days, but today the sun’s been shining.

Iambuffy · 28/04/2019 20:34

I've just spilt my AT ACDD :(

CountFosco · 28/04/2019 22:42

SotD Forest. Very piney but not in a toilet cleaner way. Enjoying these Rook green fragrances.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 29/04/2019 06:59

Oh no Buffy - all of it??

SOTD is AT Incense Rose. I smell amazing Grin

Had a look a feelunique last night - was quite tempted by the Floral Street peony scent, for some reason...anyone tried?

OP posts:
Iambuffy · 29/04/2019 07:32

Most of it :(

MotherOfDragonite · 29/04/2019 11:49

Oh buffy, that's just awful Sad -- I live in fear of doing something like that as I am terribly clumsy. How did it happen?

SOTD here is Eau My Soul, as I am feeling a little frazzled and worn down by life at the moment.

Iambuffy · 29/04/2019 11:55

I'm trying out Avon tomorrow today.

That's a weird sentence isnt it?

I've been to see mum, had a meeting with ds2s teacher, been to the gym, done some yoga, a bit of housework and am going to have a bath.

My life is riveting 🙄😁

Iambuffy · 29/04/2019 12:00

It was a dabber bottle and I pulled cap too hard and...splash...:(

teta · 29/04/2019 14:34

Cristalle today. Makes me feel efficient and it’s parents evening even though I’m so not.
I got a bit over excited that all of mine were back at school today. So dh drove 40 minutes there with dd1 only to find out it was a inset day < Oops>.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 29/04/2019 14:36

MaudBaileysGreenTurban
I wore Wonderland Peony yesterday if you read back a few posts.
On me it's pina colda/tropical fruit/beach sand/salty. God knows where the Peony disappeared too!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 29/04/2019 14:38

Buffy it's horrible when you drop or lose a favourite Perfume.

KaliforniaDreamz · 29/04/2019 14:48

teta i laughed, sorry

SOTD Timeless and Baby powder on top

Stubbed my toe and can barely walk. ouch.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 29/04/2019 15:12

@MaudBaileysGreenTurban you can have what's left of my Wonderland Peony sample bottle if you want. There's a few days sprays left.

KaliforniaDreamz ouch painful!
