Sotd avon mesmerize for women
Lovely soft oriental

I think I do want to sell it, hoooo. Be warned that it does have quite a burnt smell at first (on me anyhow). When we are over the flu and I can get out of the house to post things, I will DM you and see if you still want it.

SOTD is Captured by Candlelight, which I have doused myself in and continue to sniff at appreciatively. It's out of stock but apparently more will be ready in November and dammit, I know I need a full bottle.

Sotd is Patchouli Clouds 💕.

SOTD MMM Fireplace. I feel like I am getting another dose of the cold. I think this thread has a virus!

I shall be joining you judy!
Hope you aren't getting your DH's lurgy!?
I'm still battling the head cold ds2 gave me - it seems to be gone one day, then it comes back 🥺
I'm very thankful it's half term here...very tired.

hoooo he’s been away for a week, so surely not? I am booked to have the flu jab tomorrow, will they still jab me if I have the cold?

They will unless you have a temp

I honestly think you could be right, Judy

Going to be a shameless copycat now and spritz myself in some PP By The Fireplace for bedtime...

So thats 3 of us....

The Venn diagram says yes

I don't have any PP BtF so am sort of joining in with the spirit of things with a squirt of Embers (Rouge Bunny Rouge). I do love this; first cousin of Sahara Noir, a hot incense.

mrsm (faints) no pp by the fireplace????

Quelle horreur!

What you have on sounds lovely though!

I need to put that right, don't I? Along with Salome

I didn't like Salome, MrsMoggs!

I get that it's a work of art, I did really appreciate it on some level, but I just couldn't get over how much it reminded me of how the old ladies of my youth used to smell and I really couldn't wear it myself.

Have never tried it Mother

SOTD L’air de Rien.

PSA - this candle smells exactly like By the Fireplace. That’s a giant one, but it comes in smaller sizes for less ££.

I use the perfume parlour by the fireplace fragrance dust.
It's awesome.
Sote - surprisingly - is pp by the fireplace :)

I’ve never heard of fragrance dust, must investigate. I do like burning a nice candle in the evenings, usually the True Grace ones from JL.

I love candles but I'm super lazy so hate the mess 😬

I really liked Salome but don't think I'd ever wear it out - it's a bit Ott. I do generally love Jasmine and wear Montale Jasmine Full and Acca Kappa Calycanthus perfumes a lot . Also the Yves Rocheur Jasmine is really good and very ladylike .
Sotd is Tam Dao EDP. Glorious for the first hour....... , then 3 hours later I can barely smell it.

SOTD Tocca Colette - the jury's out for me on this one. A bit sweet for me.

How are we all?

SOTD is Centrepiece Parfum/honey version. Yes, yes, I DABT. Je ne regrette rien!

Thanks for asking, Kali. We're on the mend over here. How are you? (and everyone else?)

Oooh, I love bad things!
