L Occitane Verveine icy touch perfume wand is Sotd as it's 36 ° C.
I'm in the queue for the one washing machine in the whole hotel.

I've got no sotd today! I put on histoires de parfum 1740 yesterday - the marquis de sade one and it was disgusting on me! All I could smell was hot wood all day and not in a nice By The Fireplace way but more of an antiques mill in a heatwave kind of way. If this sounds at all up anyone's street, I'm more than happy to pass it on! Grin

I could do with something nice to smell though, DD has tonsillitis and reeks Envy! I think what I actually want is Miller Harris La Pluie but I don't have any anymore. Any suggestions?

Hope the holiday isn't too painful teta, the food sounds fab at least!

Hope all the others on their jollies are having a good time!

MotherOfDragonite · 19/07/2019 14:20

SOTD is Freeway layered with Monyette Paris. You'd think this might be a bit California summer, and it's definitely not an offensive smell, but layering them isn't quite as nice as each one individually... my mistake!

I passed my essay -- the one I spent most of DD's birthday writing. It's my last one for the MSc and I'm over the moon, but also a bit worried as I've messed up with the admin for my dissertation deferral and am scared as they're now saying they want me to pay a lot of money to do it next year.

Iambuffy · 19/07/2019 15:32

Well done! X

We are home. Long journey but lovely time had.

The pp dupes I ordered are all great!

I now hzvd to find room for the 14 2nd hand books I bought....

Iambuffy · 19/07/2019 16:08

Oh! And I've finally ordered my amber woods from 4160.

If I love it I'll have to sell a kidney to het 100mls....

Well impressed by pp dupes of estee lauder white linen and wood mystique and TF amber.

Bloody gorgeous.

SotD Ylang Ylang Expresso which bizarrely works in this humid sultry weather.
Took DD shopping for new trainers today. £120 later though that includes a hoodie & then very expensive not shorts from Primarlk.
I said to my friend that I'm going to hire DD out as a chimney sweep crawler!
Thanks Count for the Amazon recommendation.
Buffy sounds like you had a lovely time.
Morher congrats almost at the summit.

MotherOfDragonite · 21/07/2019 08:10

SOTD yesterday was Midnight in the Palace Garden, and a friend spontaneously exclaimed how wonderful I smelled after she went in for a hug!

Went to a massive retirement party for some incredible women yesterday. Today, DD's birthday party. I'm knackered already! Off to fill party bags Grin

Iambuffy · 22/07/2019 11:36

Have pm'd you judy

Iambuffy · 22/07/2019 12:55

Sotd pp estee lauder white linen

teta · 22/07/2019 13:24

Frederick Malle brigarade concentree is Sotd .I've just toddled up the road to the nearest supermarket to get some crispy tofu and beer. We have a little kitchenette in our tiny bungalow here in Osaka and I'm having some peace. The others have gone out for noodles. I'm also washing clothes again 🤔.
@MotherOfDragonite went well and the retirement party sounds like fun.
@Iambuffy are you relaxed after your holiday or are you on countdown mode?
@JaimeBronde wow - must be some trainers !
Ds2 is going to a non-uniform school next year. I'm dreading the cost of the cool clothes and trainers. Supreme is the in brand there that everyone wears apparently. Luckily he's not into fashion yet .

Iambuffy · 22/07/2019 15:03

Diorissimo1985 · 22/07/2019 16:19

Hi everyone
I'm not a regular on these threads but I get amazing advice from you lovely lot when I do pop in!
Wondering if you can help me with Dsis request for her birthday.. she's asked for new perfume and usually wears Dior Jadore or Chanel Chance. I think of these as quite fruity? Correct me if I'm wrong Grin are there any others similar which she might like?
TIA!

Iambuffy · 22/07/2019 17:48

Both of those are white florals..

I'd suggest dior addict

Diorissimo1985 · 22/07/2019 19:09

I will have a sniff - thanks for the suggestion!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 22/07/2019 20:57

SotD was Rose Silence then I popped into M&S to get DD some leggings and DABT. The had R&G Gingembre reduced so obviously I had to buy a bottle. Only 30ml and it was very cheap. So guess what SotE is!

Also went into TKMaxx and one of the perfumes they had was one of the ones Floofy had sent me as a sample so that was a coincidence!
