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

Have 4160 stopped doing sample sizes? I wanted to order some Captured by Candlelight, plus a couple of testers, but I can't find an option to add samples on the website. Cos I really need more 4160 samples!

MrsMoggs · 26/12/2019 20:09

Clue: you are looking for something from a plant. (A Mediterranean shrub to be precise).

Stinkyeddie · 26/12/2019 21:21

Sorry, been out!!

flora you can still get 4160 samples. They are £4 each.

mrsm um...is it something weird like from an olive bush??

MrsMoggs · 26/12/2019 21:32

You are very close! Features in L'AdDM.

Stinkyeddie · 26/12/2019 21:36

Frankincense!?

MrsMoggs · 26/12/2019 21:39

You are really close Smile. Begins with L (or C).

Stinkyeddie · 26/12/2019 21:41

Cedar??

FloraMacDonald · 26/12/2019 22:19

Thanks Stinky. I'll stop spending on perfume in the new year. Maybe!

Stinkyeddie · 26/12/2019 22:20

Heh heh

No you won't....

Stinkyeddie · 26/12/2019 22:21

Which samples are you after?

MrsMoggs · 26/12/2019 22:22

The shrub is cistus (or rock rose) and it produces a resin beginning with L...

Whoo hoo! :)

MotherOfDragonite · 27/12/2019 09:25

Happy Christmas to you all!

Flora, I have some 4160 samples too. Which ones are you after?

We had a lovely day with my sister and partner hosting. I had no perfume related gifts whatsoever! (I did give my sister a travel spray of Commodity Gold, which she coveted...)

I am still deciding when to open my January joy box. I should probably wait until my birthday in early January but I'm not sure I can...

FloraMacDonald · 27/12/2019 09:25

Thanks Stinky, I found them eventually! Ordered samples of eau my soul & dark heart of old Havana, plus some Captured by Candlelight, 🤞with the upgrade!
Thanks for the tip!

Stinkyeddie · 27/12/2019 09:57

flora You're welcome :)

mother you have more willpower than me! (Although I did give a couple of JJBs as stocking gifts....)

I has a huge sort out last night so I have the following for sale 1st dibs to perfumistas as promised :)

I'm saving up for a perfume making afternoon at 4160 Tuesdays so that's what the funds raised will go towards
Any extra will go to foodbank :)

30 mls meet me on the corner crowdfunder. Boxed.
This is a lovely citrus chypre.
Very 70s.
(I was going to give it to my mum for her b day next week but she has now specifically said she doesn't want any more perfume 🤷‍♀️)

any JJB buyers please don't read on!

I also have the following:
All boxed:
All 9 mls:
All eau de parfum:

Eat more flowers. Huge floral! :) floral lovers will really like this one but its just too much for me.

The orange tree. This is a new one. As lovely as the name suggests.

Subterranea. This is amazing. Mossy, dark, earthy.

Fluffy lemon tops. Delightful sweet lemony scent. None of this left atm. I think sarah is making more next year.

Temptation. Musky. Sexy. It reminds me of a guerlain I can't remember the name of!

If you'd like any of the above ^ pm me for prices.

Have a fragrant day! :)

I shall be wearing my added amber sexiest scent again today ❤

Lotsofpots · 27/12/2019 12:14

Happy Christmas! Sad I missed the quiz but enjoyed reading it today.

I have been v lucky - a bottle of White Queen, a Korres perfume (water, bamboo, freesia) which is delicious and new to me, and a beauty pie candle.

And thanks to the tip from stinky i've ordered a 9ml of over the chocolate shop and what I did on my holidays. And signed up for patreon too...

Lovely! :)

Happy Christmas everyone! I am still full of cold, and DP has been made redundant, so it has been far from merry here.

SOTD By the Fireplace - I went to meet my friend for lunch which is the first time I’ve been pit of the house since last Saturday.

Stinkyeddie · 27/12/2019 18:45

Well, that's utterly shit, I'm sorry x
