Evening all Grin

Apologies for the cheesy thread title.

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

teta our yoga/dhs work trips/perfume venn diagram continues....
😊
Yoga done.
Completely negated by all the biscuits I just ate 🙄

MotherOfDragonite · 07/05/2019 15:46

SOTD is Pure Perle by Pascal Morabito. It's surprisingly pleasant and easy to wear. Kind of like an expensive shampoo scent, tbh -- incredibly inoffensive and nobody could possibly dislike it. But nice, I suspect I'll actually wear it to work quite a bit. I got it vvv cheaply at TK Maxx.

Still thinking longingly about Aesop Marrakech Intense...

I need to join the yoga section of the Venn diagram as I am feeling so very very very out of shape after working too hard and eating too many Biscuit Blush

Bodyonme · 07/05/2019 19:40

buffy, your samples are in the post so will hopefully be with you tomorrow.

Sotd was PP dupe of Hot Couture.

DS's first tooth has come out tonight and it's so tiny I needed something to put it in before it went under his pillow. I was so close to using the Tauer tin that the samples came in! Grin However, I realised that it might be a bit hard so it's now in a Tiffany pouch instead!

Iambuffy · 07/05/2019 20:15

Thank you x

Sote pp by the fireplace:)

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 07/05/2019 21:39

SOTD was NRFH, but have had another shower after work (feeling yuck with period) and am now in pjs and Black Opium.

What is the going rate for a tooth body?

Iambuffy · 07/05/2019 21:43

£1 a tooth here Judy

There's inflation for you!

Bodyonme · 08/05/2019 06:06

Yep £1 a tooth here too! Bit of a drama at 5.30 this morning when he woke to find the pouch gone and nothing in its place! Bloody thing had dropped down the side of his bed.
Sotd will be something invigorating due to the early start! Actually I might go for the PP Shalimar as I'm working from home today and I want to check how work safe it is before I wear it in the office.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 08/05/2019 06:50

Morning all!

I'm cooking bacon, eggs and hash browns this morning for Ds who has his first GCSE exam this morning. Nerves abound chez Maud today!

SOTD is MG Plum - a white flower bomb, very grown-up yet also a little bit fabulous. I need it Grin

Good luck mini Maud!

Ds1 had a bit of exam angst last night so late night for me.

Yawn.

Bodyonme · 08/05/2019 07:05

Good luck to all the exam takers!!

teta · 08/05/2019 07:30

Good luck to your ds’s Maud and Buffy.👍

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 08/05/2019 08:41

Good luck to all the exam takers!

KaliforniaDreamz · 08/05/2019 09:35

Best of luck to exam takers from me too.

SOTD Bottega Veneta Pour Homme. This is so masculine and so grown up. Like a proper cologne for men should smell.

Leather is what draws me to it but it's also woody and something else - Bergamot i think.
Love it.

teta · 08/05/2019 09:37

Mb Patchouli Clouds . It’s cold and I’ve got the heater on🥶.

KaliforniaDreamz · 08/05/2019 10:09

my heating is on too

Iambuffy · 08/05/2019 10:45

I've been to the gym, done some yoga and am now trying to get warm ❄
Recieved my perfumes thank you so much body ❤ and spray bottles too! clumsy fingers

I've got a few errands to run before I pick the kids up later so its sofa time.

Iambuffy · 08/05/2019 10:54

Sotd AT ACDD ❤

MotherOfDragonite · 08/05/2019 11:55

Best of luck to the exam takers! I remember the feeling well.

body, we had that happen to the last tooth fairy payment too! I couldn't figure out what had happened in the morning when it had just disappeared! The going rate here is £1 too.

SOTD is Pearl by Sage Machado. The natural oils just have such a lovely quality on me, it is quite different from EDTs.

Bodyonme · 08/05/2019 12:48

Oh good, glad they've arrived safely!

I was totally baffled mother because I knew where I the tooth fairy had left the pouch and it was nowhere near there!

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 08/05/2019 16:54

good luck to all exam takers! Ds does his mock GCSEs this summer and then the proper ones next year, feel rather ancient though i'm really not.

I had my mri a couple of weeks ago, waiting on results though provisionally i have a diagnosis of two neurological issues. waiting for that to be firmed up though once scana nd test results are back

SORN (scent of right now) is Luna by Nina Ricci

Iambuffy · 08/05/2019 16:58

Nice to see you nighttime
I'm in disgrace.
We've run out of pizza.
The look of betrayal in ds2s eyes!....🤣🤣

MotherOfDragonite · 08/05/2019 17:27

Is the mysterious disappearance of tooth fairy payments another circle in the Venn diagram, perhaps, body?!

I hope the diagnosis is helpful, night.

I went and sniffed some tuberose scented things in Miller Harris but am still undecided. Noix de Tuberose is lovely, teta (I think you recommended it?) but a little too baby powdery on me. I think I might need to try it again in cold weather though as I loved the scent before it went on. Tuberosa (from the MH perfumer's library) was also nice but again perhaps not a must have for me.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 08/05/2019 21:45

SOTD L’Air de Rien. Hope all the exams went/go well. Think of the poor buggers who have to mark them all!
