Evening all Grin

Apologies for the cheesy thread title.

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

SOTD Bottega Veneta eau legere.
I'm bored with my perfumes.

Iambuffy · 02/05/2019 14:10

teta 💐
I've got bloods results and am ecg tomorrow so we canvirtually hold hands and fret together xx

Sotd the remains of my AT ACDD sample 😥😥😥😥😥

MotherOfDragonite · 02/05/2019 14:29

Good luck teta and buffy. Will be keeping you both in mind.

SOTD is Eau My Soul. I can't wait for the day when it's the half-price scent. The question is, will I buy 100ml or an actual bucket full?!

Bodyonme · 02/05/2019 14:56

Buffy, I'm not really getting on with ACDD, would you like my sample? It's georgianfairy btw, had a name change!

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 02/05/2019 16:00

I'm also in Eau My Soul today Smile

My Perfumista order still hasn't arrived. They send they were resending it as it had been lost by the courier but that was over a week ago. Not very impressed...

KaliforniaDreamz · 02/05/2019 16:38

i may risk it... dp u buy direct or from escentuals

Iambuffy · 02/05/2019 16:39

I buy direct

Never any issues

Iambuffy · 02/05/2019 16:45

maud that's rubbish :(

Need to decide on a sote but am feeling distinctly grotty today.

I got totally drenched earlier - it was torrential and I gave mum my umbrella as we were both coatless 🙄

Damp jeans are the worst

I was going our later but maybe not now. I'm cold and damp and brrrr.

I am very excited about my Ebay Prada amber arriving - it's a third of an 80ml bottle - £7!

Other than that I'm being good.
Honest! ;)

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 02/05/2019 17:55

Thanks Iambuffy I'll let you know when it arrives.
Yes I agree damp jean are the worst! Hope you are now nice & dry & cosy.

Bodyonme · 02/05/2019 19:56

Yeah I'm sure buffy, I appreciate the scent itself but it's just not 'me'! PM me your address and I'll try and get it in the post tomorrow.

I'm still on the hunt for my perfect gourmand, ordered dupes of feve delicieuse, jeux de peau, and mandorlo di sicilia from perfume parlour the other day. Also got shalimar and nahema dupes to scratch my guerlain itch!

MrsMoggs · 02/05/2019 20:28

Good luck Teta & Buffy Flowers

SotD was Wash me in the Water. Pleasant but fleeting.

SotE is Mother Nature's Naughty Daughter's which I realise is probably the ideal entry level 4160 for mainstream tastes, being sweet and a bit pink (although in a very agreeable and almost wholesome way). Great buy for teens or the menopausal with a sweet tooth Grin

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 02/05/2019 20:47

SOTD MMM Fireplace. Freezing and lashing rain here, what is going on?

cantbelievemyeyes · 02/05/2019 22:27

SOTD was Diptyque Geranium Odorata.

Got home to a sample order from Bloom, yay. Ordered 3 from Strangers Parfumerie- Cigar Rum a definite contender for a full bottle for summer, but only tried one spray. Ordered one called Burning Ben for DH to try- coffee, leather, and burning tyres amongst many other notes! To much for me to wear but he's very impressed and it definitely works on him.

There is also Zoologist Chameleon, and Beso Canalla to try, but saving those for another day.

I've had a couple of samples of MNND MrsMoggs and can't quite make up my mind. One minute I love it, the next I get a big dose of cat's urine from the blackcurrant and it makes me feel a bit queasy.

Bodyonme I have the PP dupe oil of Kilian Black Phantom- mega gourmand almond, coffee, chocolate and caramel type thing. It's very close to the original as well if you like that sort of thing.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 03/05/2019 07:51

SOTD is Memoirs of a Trespasser; perfect for a grey, wet and windy day.

Hope your jeans dried buffy Grin

body let me know when you find the ultimate gourmand! Have been dreaming of a full bottle of Amour Nocturne which is a pretty fabulous chewy caramel-and-smoke and highly recommended if you've not already tried it.

Ugh. Roll on the weekend! Feel utterly shattered even though I think I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow last night.

Sotd is Mb India.
Thank you for the scan good wishes.
Everything is fine thank god.
I’m clear to go😁.
Buffy 👍.

MotherOfDragonite · 03/05/2019 12:00

What a relief teta.

SOTD is Monyette Paris (agaaaaain).

When does the new 4160 half price scent come out normally?? Not that I'm hanging on, secretly hoping for Eau My Soul or anything...

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 03/05/2019 12:21

SOTD Chanel 19. SO glad it's almost the weekend, and really looking forward to a three-day break.

KaliforniaDreamz · 03/05/2019 13:12

teta good to hear

SOTD MH Peau Santal

Iambuffy · 03/05/2019 13:46

Yes it's gorgeous

cantbelievemyeyes · 03/05/2019 13:59

Mother scent of the week is Scenthusiasm. Seems to be a bit early this week. Not tried it and not sure it appeals tbh.

KaliforniaDreamz · 03/05/2019 15:03

thanks buffy
