I don't know if it is a bad idea perfume wise but I have signed up with Sniph. I have never been a big perfume wearer just fruity smells. I made a huge mistake buy from Penhaligans and do own rhubarb citrus from the Tuesday company!
I have been sent a perfume called L'eau de Concombre by Phaedon which someone at work said made me smell fresh like I had just got out of a shower! I like it so much I have ordered a large bottle. I have learned from my Penhaligans mistake and like trying a new perfume each month.
Oh would people buy the Penhaligans perfume on eBay even though I have had a few squirts? It's the Luna fragrance.

Iambuffy · 24/06/2019 20:56

I'm sure they would.

L'eau de Concombre by Phaedon was in The Big Sniff we did on here last year. Cucumber and mint top notes, it is a lovely fresh perfume. Might have to dig it out of my Bloom sample box for another sniff.

SotD Bois Naufrage again, forgot to put on perfume before I went to work then found my travelo of this in my work bag.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 24/06/2019 22:12

Ohhhh I really like Penhaligon Luna... Blush

teta · 24/06/2019 22:20

Fine, it's done.
Glad it's over with. Got the bloody six injection dentist again tomorrow though. Why does everything happen all at once.
Yes, weird humid weather. Not a good day as Dd2 accused of cheating at school. DH is up in arms as it's not her cheating but a boarder. So both dh and DD are upset.
L eau d concombre is beautiful and I really want to try Bois Naufrage. Last year Bloom included a Ulun perfume instead of the Bois Naufrage in the perfume set .

Calmasasleepycat · 24/06/2019 22:22

I spent a lovely hour in John Lewis, testing perfumes. I like to end up with lots of testing strips, labelled up so I can carry on testing at home. There are three I can’t stop sniffing:
Laura Mercier L’Heure Magique - a soft spicy musky floral. I’m not sure I really like it but I keep going back to it!
Terre D’Hermes - stunningly classy and woodsy
Galop D’Hermes - I loved this one so much but it’s expensive. I have good taste! It’s beautiful, starting off with leather saddle and then it softens with the addition of rich florals.

Stayingalive, I loved L’Eau de Concombre from the Big Sniff. It was full bottle worthy for me.

Iambuffy · 24/06/2019 22:26

Glad it's over teta

I'm not surprised dh is up in arms!

Bodyonme · 25/06/2019 05:59

Glad you liked the Tory Burch smellbow! Sorry to hear you've been ill though!

Sounds like a rough week teta, hope things improve!

I'm on a perfume buying ban at the moment but getting itchy fingers!!

Sotd yesterday was pp issey miyake to cut through the humidity. Might go same again today if it's still muggy.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 25/06/2019 08:43

SOTD is Freeway. Sick of this rubbish weather, want some actual sun.

teta · 25/06/2019 09:31

Fleur de Bambu today. Watery lotus and bamboo so i'm at one with the weather Grin

Iambuffy · 25/06/2019 15:30

Got your parcel maud thank you!

I rather like aromatics in white!

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 25/06/2019 15:38

I hoped you would Buffy! It's a rather lovely amber I think, warm and comforting but not too heavy; quite good for the summer months as well.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 25/06/2019 15:40

Can't remember what else I put in? Aromatics, Amour Nocturne, ?Autoportrait, something else??

Iambuffy · 25/06/2019 16:22

Yes :)
Nocturne...very nice but I'll have to look up the notes. Something there I cant quite distinguish.
Autportrait is also unusual.
Lovely bundle, thank you x

Iambuffy · 25/06/2019 16:22

In fact I may wear the aromatics this evening:)

MrsMoggs · 25/06/2019 20:24

Pine-tastic tonight in Yatagan and Encens Flamboyant. The former green and deep and crisp and long, the latter smoky and stubby (the smell is short if you know what I mean - like rubber stopping on flooring due to high friction rather than skates gliding 'long' over ice.

(Does anyone else get 'short' like this? Chinatown has a similar quality but smells nothing like...).

MotherOfDragonite · 25/06/2019 20:58

Hope you are doing ok, teta.

SOTD is Midnight in the Palace Garden again. Thank you so much for the very generous sample, calm, I just love it.

teta · 25/06/2019 21:19

Yes @Motherofdragonite, I’m fine. We had some good news today. Dd1 passed her first year Vet exams so it means she can join us on our summer holiday as planned. Hope you are ok too and not too stressed by toddler tantrums?
I forgot that Yatagan is piney .Wasn’t someone recently looking for a perfume reminiscent of Badedas?

Iambuffy · 25/06/2019 21:58

Congrats to your dd teta

JaimeBronde · 25/06/2019 22:21
