I've gone for AT ACDD ❤

Congratulations cant!

teta, I hope you like the Ffern. I do suspect it might be up your street.

I'm still with family on holiday. SOTD was the Ffern summer edition yesterday and Sage Onyx and Pearl layered today.

MotherOfDragonite · 09/08/2019 20:39

I'm seriously considering DABT and getting the HN box... somebody save me from myself!

MissBattleaxe · 09/08/2019 20:41

Get the HN box. It would be impossible to get it on your own. It's like an advent calendar you can open all in one go. Also- get any other Perf Soc box and you'll get 100ml Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream free.

Hoooo · 09/08/2019 21:06

DABT mother then I can live vicariously through you!

JaimeBronde · 09/08/2019 21:14

And me too Grin

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 09/08/2019 22:38

SOTD Mitsouko. It has PISSED rain all day here, so it felt fitting.

Congrats, cant. I don’t drive, I had about 500 lessons and was just so epically shit at it that I stopped before either me or my instructor ended up actually insane.

Congrats cant! V impressed, as I join judy in not being able to drive (I speeded in my test as I was trying to get the whole shitshow over as quickly as possible)

MrsMoggs · 09/08/2019 23:54

Body - I tried Memo de Paris today and it isn't so good on my skin. If there is anything you are underwhelmed by, that you fancy swapping, PM me!

Bodyonme · 10/08/2019 09:03

No problem MrsM, I've still not opened everything yet (unusually restrained for me!) but I'll let you know about the experimental one and about any swaps for memo.

Congratulations calm!! Hope you celebrated last night!

Bodyonme · 10/08/2019 09:05

Sorry cant, not calm! Trying to type with my DD sat on my knee and distracting me!

MrsMoggs · 10/08/2019 09:25

Liking Bella Oudh - although it's a ghostly presence. Delicate and barely there and yet still going 12 hours later. One of those perfumes that hovers above the skin.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 10/08/2019 10:49

Well done cant! I have been driving for almost 30 years bloody hell I'm old but it took me another 15 years after passing my test to pluck up the courage to drive on the motorway Hmm

SOTD on this miserable grey day is Marina Barcenilla India on my right wrist and Mitsouko (great minds, Judy) on my left. India was quite hard going for the first hour - a quite overpowering, medicinal spice-and-balsam. It has softened and sweetened a little now but I'm not quite convinced. I thought I'd love it, going by the notes, but for me it is shoutier than I would have hoped for.

Mitsouko, though...why the hell don't I wear this more often??? Good grief, it's stunning wanders over to allbeauty

Hoooo · 10/08/2019 11:53

Mitsuoko is the only guerlain I like maud

Hoooo · 10/08/2019 13:13

Sotd avon mesmerize
Light oriental
Very nice

MrsMoggs · 10/08/2019 14:09

Was reading somewhere that when it comes to the quintessential feminine fragrance, perfumers divide into Mitsouko and Femme (vintage) camps?

Hoooo · 10/08/2019 14:23

I'm a femme girl I think

MrsMoggs · 10/08/2019 15:06

Me too, Hoo.

MrsMoggs · 10/08/2019 15:23

Plum Vs Peach Smile.

teta · 10/08/2019 16:50

@Maud I feel the same way about India but love Marina Barcenilla's Patchouli Clouds and the Perfume Garden.
Congrats. @cantbelievemyeyes. The world of driving beckons.
I really want to like Mitsouko but it doesn't suit me at all sadly. Not many Guerlains do, apart from the atypical ones like Champs Elysees and Nahema.

We've left the concrete pods behind. Thank God because after 6 days in them the novelty was wearing very thin ( and the food was monotonous). Now we're here on the 35th floor of a building in Kl. The contrast couldn't be greater as the second picture was our view this morning before our flight.

Amazing pics teta
Mn wont let me post pics for some reason:(

CountFosco · 11/08/2019 08:33

That HN box looks fantastic. I'm busy buying too much school uniform at the moment sadly. Bloody hate school uniform.

teta · 11/08/2019 08:55

Me too @Count. I have spent years buying it. Now ds2 is starting at a no uniform school and I only have one in uniform . Shoes are the worse thing to buy. Ds2 wrecked his shoes 6 weeks before the end of term and was told off for wearing black trainers. So I bought him a really cheap pair from Sports Direct, only to find they were a size too small. But he had to hobble around in them for speech day and school photo day.
I'm going to try dig out the Mfk concession nearby to try the new perfumes as the Silver one sounds right up my street.
@Hoooo why can't you post pics?
Have you checked your settings or profile?

Hoooo · 11/08/2019 08:59

No idea.
I've looked at my settings...baffling.
