The lovely friendly perfumistas are riding the Freeway towards summer, dreaming of being Bronze Goddesses, while sadly still huddling By The Fireplace. Join us for thread number 22!

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

New thread since the other one is almost at the end. Post your fragrant fancies here. Everyone welcome to join in.

Yeah. I'd try it 1st *Judy?

Not sure ds1 is that keen on 4160 WIDOMH!

I dont know why that ? Is in there judy

Dirty amber!?
Smells right up my street! :)

I see Midnight in the Palace Garden (parfum strength) is SotW. Would be perfect for these long lush radiant green evenings, if it wasn't so darn wet and cold.

I was just popping back to post about MitPG, MrsM. Probably a good thing that it's never worked for me...although I don't think I've tried the parfum strength before?

MrsMoggs, Midnight in the Palace Garden sounds lush!

Who has had a good sniff? Would I like it? I am so terrible.

Was also wondering about the scent of the week, not tried that one...

Fleurs de sel lovers, do any of you want what's left of my sample? I can't get on with salty smells!

Sotd was Tocca Brigitte after the Tocca discussion this morning!

@Bodyonme I would love a sample if poss - I couldn't find it on notino! I'd love to try it...

Mother - it has huge and magnificent ripe fruit and wood symphonic opening, featuring a fermented fizz that turbo-charges the first hour or so (recall Sarah Mc describing it as being like a fruit bowl you forgot to empty before going on holiday? Big over-ripe citrus note). It settles into a rich but amiably light woody base. It is luxurious in a very relaxed way.

No problem Smellbow, PM me your address and I'll get it in the post next week for you!

Have a feeling it's only ever been released as parfum, Maud? A lot of The Crimes of Passion were.

SOTD was M&S Island Escape Seasalt & Bergamot borrowed from DD. Smells like margaritas, hot pavements & ocean on her.......not so much on me.
And I got told off for borrowing it. She's only 12

I think I have a 4160 Tuesdays problem. Seriously tempted by the sound of Midnight in the Palace Garden!

In real life, I am wearing Commodity Gold.

mother do you want the 4160 TSB?

@TracyBeakerSoYeah I get that too.Dd1 has worn that perfume for years and it smells stunning on her. On me it just smells stinky ( very non technical term!) . Her favourite though is Shay and Blue Blood Orange from last years summer beauty box.
Are m&s doing a box this year? She likes to smell nice and try new make up while calving, milking and grooming . Even if the rest of her is covered in poop.

Hello. Can I join? I've rediscovered Diptyque's L'Ombre Dans L'Eau this week. It's a perfect wet Summer scent so perfect for a damp June. ( My wet Spring scent is Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca which reminds me of a wet garden. )

Talking of dcs and borrowing perfume... I could smell something familiar this morning as ds was getting ready to go out. Went into his room and realised he's nicked my 4160's Rhubarb & Citrus!! Cheeky bugger; it's one of my favourites. He's also powered through the sample of Tauer L'eau in a matter of days.

It's his birthday next week so, while I'm happy to keep him supplied with samples, it looks as though a good unisex scent might be worth buying for him. I don't want to spend too much (sorry ds) as he sprays, um, liberally - any ideas? He's had Cool Water and CK One Summer in the past. I think something a bit unusual might go down well.

What would be good for a 16-year -old boy who's clearly up for experimenting with scent ?

Maud - take him to Lush and let him choose something from Gorilla? If you can get to Liverpool, an afternoon here would be amazing (if not necessarily cheap...).

I haven't bought from Direct Cosmetics but they have some very reasonably priced Le Couvent des Minimes - fits the unisex brief.

Oh no buffy -- you didn't get on with it? I had tried a sample before and decided it wasn't for me. It's lovely but just not me. My 4160 Tuesdays problem is pretty bad though as I have picked up Freeway, Amberama (blind buy and mistake) and Centrepiece in pretty quick succession in the half price scent of the week! Plus a 9 ml of Eau My Soul on full price because I couldn't live without it, eek.

Interesting question, maud! What's a rough price guide? I wonder if a discounted Miller Harris might fit the bill as some of those smell awesome on chaps IMHO -- Vetiver Insolent? Or a citrus one, or a tea one?

It is lovely but yet again I struggle with florals:(

My ds1 likes dirty by lush. You can get all sorts of products in the scent.
It's sort of minty and fresh

Yes Teta out on 18/6 I think, and has a 10 ml? S&B (Cherry Blossom?)?

Off out for ds1s belated birthday meal...I'm wearing my beloved Avon nightmusk.

I find this hot, muggy, wet, humid weather really difficult wrt scent.

Last summer I lived in 4160 Tuesdays mrsgloss indoors, mrsgloss lemon sherbert and next eau nude.

None of them seem quite right today.

Ooh really, thank you @MrsMoggs.
DD will be thrilled.
I will buy one for her as a surprise.
@MaudBaileysGreenTurban your son has very good taste. Mine still uses Lynx deodorant and hates all my perfumes, as they make him feel sick.

Avon demonstrator set up in one hour on eBay. Not sure how old it is??
