Evening all Grin

Apologies for the cheesy thread title.

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

bargain!

MotherOfDragonite · 11/06/2019 12:51

SOTD is Diptyque Eau Duelle.

I have a "day off" and I am actually cleaning, tidying, decluttering the house, doing laundry, doing new passports etc. Over the weekend, the toddler discovered the joys of opening drawers and tossing all the contents out on to the floor. I am exhausted and I really need an actual day off Sad.

MotherOfDragonite · 11/06/2019 13:02

Oh my word kali, the price on that! Shock

KaliforniaDreamz · 11/06/2019 13:29

i know!! wonder if it's a typo......

YesQueen · 11/06/2019 13:56

My boss has just walked in the office and announced "it smells of sugar in here. Like vanilla sugar"
Blush that'll be me then

Iambuffy · 11/06/2019 14:58

Oh gawd.
I remember ds1s favourite thing for ages was emptying the book shelves....I swear I've spent days of my life putting books back on shelves.
😣

KaliforniaDreamz · 11/06/2019 15:45

yes did you own up?!

buffy the physical grind of toddlerhod left me a SHELL!!!

Iambuffy · 11/06/2019 16:37

I am a husk of the woman I once was!....a husk

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 11/06/2019 17:53

Ohhh I rather love the sound of your Kyse marshmallow YesQueen...what has happened to me?

Ah yeah, almost a LITRE of Burberry, hold me back Hmm Grin

I've not worn anything today, perfume wise. Clothes wise I've been in full cold-weather gear, two jumpers, socks and slippers. It's bloody JUNE!!

Urgh. I don't this weather. SOTD is LE no 15 which I don't normally wear at this time of year.

My space NK birthday gift included a travel size Commodity Pulp. Reminds me a lot of roger & gallet Bois d'orange but with more honeysuckle. It's nice - a good summer scent.

teta · 11/06/2019 20:09

It was so cold this morning I had to do hot yoga again to warm up. So scent was L Occitane eau de cologne Lavender . I really do love this at the moment . I'm also in jumpers and my winter parka today .
Oh my God that Burberry price must be a typo @Kalifornia.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/06/2019 20:40

Yes this weather is pants. I've thrown on LE No15 too Lots
Hope you had a nice birthday too!
Talking of birthdays Buffy has DS got anything planned for his '16th'?
I remember going to the pub with my then boyfriend on my 16th birthday. Back in the last century when you borrowed an older friends birth certificate so you could get served!

Iambuffy · 11/06/2019 21:03

lots :)

Nothing planned really as he has a GCSE geography exam that day:(

I've been asking if he wants to do anything on the day but tbh he just hasn't got the headspace atm.

We've got big helium "16" balloons and I'm making a big tray of flapjacks and will put candles on it :) he doesn't like cake

His main present is a young drivers lesson. Also got him some GofT gifts to unwrap.

I've booked a table at his favourite Italian place for Saturday but he's still undecided if he wants to go 🙄

Sote L eau d ambre

Iambuffy · 11/06/2019 21:04

And happy birthday lots!
🎈🍰🍫🍦💃💐

MotherOfDragonite · 11/06/2019 21:16

Ooh, teta, that sounds really nice. Might go and have a sniff when I pass by L'Occitane (or M&S - they stock it now, right?).

pots, I think Commodity has gone under. So you might want to buy it quickly if you want it before it goes. I'm such an enabler. You're welcome. Wink

I adore the Diptyque Eau Duelle but I'm really surprised that an EDP is so low on projection and it doesn't seem to last that well on me. I might try it with a moisturiser. It's a wonderful scent though.

MotherOfDragonite · 11/06/2019 21:17

Happy birthday, lots!

MrsMoggs · 11/06/2019 21:25

Right, in a really desperate attempt to warm-through, after getting soaked earlier, I'm now in Embers.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 11/06/2019 22:10

His main present is a young drivers lesson

Same for ds - his 16th birthday is next Weds! He's just sent me a list of vinyl he wants...he's old skool Grin

Embers is so fab MrsMoggs, very appropriate for this dreich weather.

Not posted for ages so have just read a month's worth! Been doing stuff at work that means I can't wear perfume so today I celebrated by wearing Lovely. But after reading the thread I now have lots of things I want to wear again. Need to dig to the back of the perfume drawer now.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 11/06/2019 22:14

Hello Count, nice to see you!

Lotsofpots · 11/06/2019 23:11

Thanks for the birthday love! It was actually last month but I only just picked up my birthday freebie (which was ace - a small by terry rose balm and a stila lip paint as well as the perfume).

Ooh mother that's interesting about commodity. I like Book much more than Pulp so might need to stock up. Someone (was it you?) also made me really want to try Gold too.

SOTE floral street ylang ylang espresso.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 12/06/2019 06:57

pots, I've got a 9ml of Book that I never wear, it's yours if you want it? I blind bought it in Sephora last year and it's not for me. I'd be happy to pass it on.
