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!

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

I've been wearing my beauty pie samples the last few days. Like them a lot. They're easy wears - pretty familiar, and don't seduce or challenge me, but are good value and very pleasing. Could happily buy fbs.

I love zoologist. Need to try dodo. Think a trip to bloom is in order.

Sotd Avon lbd

Just bought a 30ml of this for £3.79

Very nice inoffensive scent.

Have you been wearing your beauty pie samples then, lots?

SOTD Miss Dior.

Talking about Chameleons we had a house pet last night. A very noisy Gecko in our concrete pod. Ds 1 woke me up in fright as he though he heard someone unlocking the door ....... It was the Gecko.
And I have 16 mosi bites on my foot ......Ds2 rates this hotel as a 2* as he's fed up of it and the mosi's. I actually rather like it as it's so unique
Sprayed a wonderful lemon verbena body spray on me today but can't remember the shop name . But have a feeling it was a Korean beauty place as the DD's have bought shit loads of the skincare and make up.
I've brought some brow mascara as the DD's said I needed some brow definition . Sotd was fleur du matin this morning.
Mother I've ordered a bottle of the Ffern summer perfume as it sounds so intriguing.

Your travels sound amazing teta, don't suppose you have a blog do you, I'd love to see pictures!

Judy, snap, well the PP version. Proper old school perfume, I feel like I should be in a skirt suit and pearls instead of jeans!

SOTD has been Tauer Incense Rose. I might wear L'heure bleue to bed tonight (in about an hour, I think, I'm shattered)

teta, sounds fascinating, although I think I'd die of mosquito bites, they seem to love me.

calm I agree with your Dodo review. It is very distinctive and yes to the minerality; I think that's what I was smelling as a salty note.

Sote 4160 amber woods

Just sold two pairs of shoes; a BT beckons....

Tell us about Amber Woods Hooo - was laughing about the Men in Tents misunderstanding on the 4160T website.

Your trip, if not the mosquitoes and social unrest, sounds amazing Teta.

Maud - glad you love L'HB. You had me wondering about what to wear if you were planning to sleep with a Head Teacher. Must be my hormones.-

Its lovely!
And for £20 for 30mls I couldn't not...:)
It's very similar to amberama tbh but without the raspberry note and, as you would expect, more woodsy in the drydown :)
Very wearable imo.

Have been trying out Santal Sky (Kierin) today. Quite a green airy sandalwood. I like it more than Santal 33 - it's less bleak, and more rounded-out, including by saffron. But beginning to think I might be better with sweet, milky sandalwoods. I do love Kenzo's L'Elephant.

Mrs moggs...have you tried Z&V this is her?

I think you'd like it!

Spot on Hooo! Thanks to Calm, yes I have, and it's lovely. (I pick up an almost minty note in the opening that baffles me though).

Sad to report there has been a calamitous leak affecting 'Calm Corner' and consequently most of Calm's careful labelling has been lost . But good for lucky dips now .

Ah! :)
I don't get mint from it though.

Not sure if I imagine it as there isn't anything listed that would explain it...

Oh FFS. Stupid app telling me my post wouldn't post. Soz.

Sotd estee lauder modern muse nuit

MrsMoggs and Hooo!, I have retested This is Her and there is a minty note, like a minty toffee, that I haven’t noticed before. I get the same note from MadonnaTruth or Dare Naked. No mint is listed in either one, so I think it’s a matter of nose interpretation!

MrsMoggs, I will pm you with a list of what I’ve sent you. I like to make a note so that I don’t double up, although I can’t promise that there aren’t any missing from the list!

SOTD was Caron Eau de Reglisse, a lemony liquorice with an earthy drydown. I keep going back to it.

MrsMoggs my initial reaction to Santal Sky was a no because all I could smell was the saffron which I hate. To me saffron smells like bleach which I hate after an unfortunate root canal experience with a dentist years ago. The dentist accidentally slipped & dropped the hydrogen peroxide sprayer into my mouth towards my throat & I ended up having a not very pleasant drink of bleachy water. So as soon as I smell anything bleachy (apart from Domestos) I start to taste it & sometimes can feel a bit nauseous
But I persevered & after the initial bleach undertone disappeared I get this glorious soft warm slightly spicy resinous wood with that green note which I'm loving.
10am Flirt (Kierin) is gorgeous too, figgy & floral with that almost edible sharp green note I get in FS Neon Rose & Chanel Bel Respiro.
Floofy have you tried 10am Flirt as I think you may like it?

Maud L'Heure Bleu was one of my signature scents years ago. The carnation & neroli notes stood out on me. I get what you mean about the grown up sexy smell.

SOTD is Monotheme Tuberose (had a few sprays in M&S) a big white evening floral with what I call a hint of beehive smell. (PIL's friend has his beehives in the field at the bottom of their garden. In the height of summer when near the beehives you get a honey/flower/sex/naked skin smell which is absolutely gorgeous!)

Hmmm

I'll have to retest....
