It's cold outside so the lovely friendly perfumistas are by the fireplace, sniffing our scarves and dreaming of the desert

I think we're on thread no 24 - appropriate for the upcoming advent fun!

So atm I have avon timeless, pp by the fireplace, avon lbd and 4160 tuesdays extra sexiest scent ❤
These are the frags I'm wearing most atm but I occasionally dip into the samples :)

That looks so elegant Stinky.
Mine is like this:

Yeah, that's pretty much what my drawer looks like too!

I feel positively restrained then. I only have

4 x 100ml bottles: the new AdP Oud, L'Artisan Perfumuer L'Ete en Douce and Caligna, Citizen Queen (which is so not me, but I love)

Dregs of old Coco Mademoiselle and Santal 33, a few luxe samples from beauty boxes and a dozen or so samples of mainstream ones.

So three out of my four current ones are unisex, and the other I rarely use! Can you see a theme?

The only thing I feel I really miss though, is a sexy evening one. Or, a sexy summer evening one and a sexy winter evening one at most.

Next time I'm in That London I shall spend a good few hours looking for one. Something niche, possibly unisex, probably more expensive than I had budgeted for....

Oops... just remembered I've got Alaia Paris winging its way to me in the post. But I may not like it and may not keep it. Schroedingers scent at the moment.

Ha! You'll fit right in here U :)

Most of my favourites are unisex tbh.

I have a few Avon's which are "feminine" but I don't do florals or weak/ozonic scents.

I thibk dior addict is a fabulous sexy evening scent.....

I don't have any 100mls...
Largest I have is 50mls.
I also have dreadful luck with blind buys :(

Has anyone tried the Narciso Santal Musc? It sounds amazing on paper!

No! But it's on my list!!!

I have such a long list. Literally a list in a book.

So, stinkyeddie, are you known by your friends as someone who always smells delish?

List! runs off to write list I think I approve of you very much U

I'd like to think people find my aroma pleasant....despite my nn!! 😬....I certainly get nice comments sometimes.

Mary Greenwell fire (sadly discontimued) always gets approving comments. Ditto Dior addict. Chanel les exclusifs coromandel too, but I soon got through my sample of that :(

My youngest son says that my smell "makes his nose hungry"...

That's good, right????

And talking of adding things to lists, thanks to Flora for today's enticing calendar entry.

Mother - did you manage to arrange a swap for tomorrow?

Mrs M, there were no takers for the swap as far as I know. I might have some feel unique samples arriving today so I'll wait until lunchtime to see if they come and if not I'll review a random sample from my box (and I might even take a picture of it for U!)

Boglins - do you want to swap days with me then (my next date is the 18th)? I won't be able to post til mid-morning, but will be fine to add something at that point

Oh yes please Mrs M, that would be great, thanks!

That's good, Eddie .

Fab review Mrs M and thanks again for swapping. This is the first scent I've smelt myself, I clearly need to up my game! It is one of my favourites though and the club in my head is more like the one in La La Land, so it's not as jarring to me.

Ah! The posh club he gets thrown out of for playing his own music, or Sebastian's?

Brilliant review @MrsMoggs.
Wearing the icy Private Collection White Moss & Jasmine for a chilly day. The dog is looking mournfully at me as he hasn't been taken for a walk yet .

Lovely review mrsm

No sotd here yet as migraibe has hit.

I'll chose after a bath..

Great review @MrsMoggs. You sort of inspired me today; I went for Whispers in the Library. It seems to suit my foul mood.

I might go for AdeP ambre extreme...

Ah! The posh club he gets thrown out of for playing his own music, or Sebastian's?

Sebastian's, I can imagine sitting at one of the tables with a dark rum and coke, and the smell of freshly cut cigars and expensive aftershave in the air! It makes me feel sophisticated, which in real life I am not!
