Evening all Grin

Apologies for the cheesy thread title.

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

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 12/06/2019 10:19

Oooh Buffy I'll bite your hand off for the CVC!

SOTD is Vanilla Flash and the sample of Incense Flash from my perfumista swap recently. They aren't half cosy worn together!

So sick of this weather, dying to wear the Very Valentino Buffy kindly sent me but it would be lost in the cold and rain I think. I am a big fan of Tokyo Spring Blossom- if no one else wanted it I would take it, but as I've already had the Valentino from you this week I think someone else should have a chance!

Heads up for those who get Feelunique samples--they have a couple of new things. Guerlain Santal Royal, and Tom Ford oud Wood & Orchid Soleil. Have just ordered Smile

Iambuffy · 12/06/2019 12:59

CVC gone but TSB still available...

Belated HBD Lots

Hi count

Sote pp by the fireplace

teta · 12/06/2019 17:20

SOTD is Cristalle .
It's still very cold n wet. Had to have 6 injections into my gums today at dentist Sad.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/06/2019 17:45

SOTD is Chanel No18. Turkish delight with pencil shavings from those big rotary pencil sharpeners we had in primary school, so woody metallic. It's still got that Chanel fizz but it's a cuddly Chanel rather than sparkling.

Cristalle is gorgeous Teta. That was my first Chanel perfume. My DM bought me it for me.
I hope your poor gums feel better soon. You are brave as dentists make me faint.

Bodyonme · 12/06/2019 17:51

Evening all, what is this weather doing?!

Happy belated birthday lots, glad you liked the black tulip! Grin

Sotd was HdP Hemingway one, I don't know if it's the weather but all I got from it today was cloves! Think I might shower and put some by the fireplace on for the evening. Want something cosy!

I'm also in the no Avon fragrance camp and I've also never tried any 4160 Tuesday's. I find the amount of choice too overwhelming, I can't cope with the likes of starbucks and subway either! Grin

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 12/06/2019 18:32

Forgot to put any perfume on this morning (must be losing my touch, that's two days in a row!) So SOTD was Close to my Heart which lurks in my desk drawer at work. I am getting quite fond of it even though it's not exactly interesting - just your standard white-flower bomb really.

Now struggling home in the grim weather. Might go for By The Fireplace this evening if everyone else is Grin

Yes.
Join us maud
we are borg

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 12/06/2019 19:23

Done. Home, changed into big fluffy jumper and BTF.

Not worn this for ages, forgot how divine it really is. It just makes me want to sit in a corner and sniff me Grin

Hope you're feeling better teta.

OP posts:
Iambuffy · 12/06/2019 19:29

I will admit to sniffing myself when I wear this!

cantbelievemyeyes · 12/06/2019 19:42

Hmmm, not worn By the Fireplace for ages as I rather optimistically put some of my wintery perfumes away. Off to dig it out!

CountFosco · 12/06/2019 19:45

SotD Vetiver Insolent. The garden is lovely and green but I'm cold! The heating came on yesterday evening for the first time in months and I'm wearing socks and a jumper. Brrrrrrr.

Iambuffy · 12/06/2019 21:56

I have a hot water bottle

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 12/06/2019 23:02

Happy belated birthday, lots. Oh, poor you, teta, hope you’re okay?

SOTD MMMFireplace. I have stayed in all day, and binge watched four episodes of Chernobyl - has anyone watched it? I absolutely roared crying at the dogs in episode four.

buffy DP went to bed before me last night - I don’t work on Wednesdays so tend to stay up later - and when I went through to pick up my (sexy) night guard, he was still awake because he was so cold. I earned major points by bringing him a hot water bottle.

MrsMoggs · 12/06/2019 23:45

Torrential again here tonight. Forecast says it doesn't end until Monday Shock. Off to find hot water bottle - excellent idea.

SotD Roads Graduate 1954 - this is a good oriental, and I have confirmed my initial view that this is somewhere between Habanita (new formula) and Chinatown.

SotE is Soir de Paris. Not one of my better eBay buys as it was listed as vintage, but I am pretty sure it is the post-1992 reformulation. The opening is like a bigger, crasser L'Heure Bleue (good for fans of powdery violets), the base is different though - think I get hints of Tabu?

Iambuffy · 13/06/2019 08:06

Ds1 is 16 today!😳❤
He was born in the hottest summer on record so slightly different to today 🙄
Sotd will be pp by the fireplace
Its such a cozy, comforting scent.
I'll be posting your CVC today or tomorrow Maud

MotherOfDragonite · 13/06/2019 08:24

Hope you're ok teta.

SOTD is Freeway again, despite the rainy weather. It still works well, actually -- the sweet side comes out more.

Our heating came on this morning and I was properly horrified. It's June!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 13/06/2019 09:16

SOTD JHAG Mad Madame. mother our heating has never been off! Happy birthday to buffy Jr.

We need a new thread, I will start one now unless there's one already on the go?

teta · 13/06/2019 09:20

I'm fine today though tooth and gums are still very sore. I was only having a temporary cap in as on as my old one half broke off . The drilling was painful so after the initial three injections she had to do three more and there was lots of moving the needle about in the gum. I've never had that before and had a stressful morning before hand .
Off to pick up dd1 from uni today
Happy birthday to your ds @Iambuffy. He's a young one in his year I guess ? I have twins that are the same and am dreading Gcse's next year especially with my dyslexic one.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 13/06/2019 09:27
