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!

SOTD Stella. Sorry to hear you are still waiting, eddie.

Well I need a follow up but an 18 week wait its so I've made an appt at the local bupa hospital next week.

Kali are you a fan of body cream? TK Maxx online have got Tea Tonique body cream for £13.

SOTD yesterday was Shangri La (Hiram Green).

Monyette Paris again today.

I'm sorry you're still in limbo, stinky, and I've also paid to do some stuff privately and avoid long waits lately -- thoroughly worth it for the speed.

Thank you x
I just want know what's going on

SOTE Midnight in the Palace Gardens... weirdly I think I prefer this one in the heat of summer! I thought it was going to be more of a cold weather scent but it isn't (at least on me).

SOTD Miss Dior.

SOTM (morning) was Coeur de Jardin which was a TkMaxx bargain. THEn this afternoon i picked up Kenzo Wild for a fiver, its a pretty safe musky floral, be nice for holidays to spray without thinking about how much im using.

My t k maxx is crap :(

stinkyeddie usually my TkMaxx is crap too but the odd times they get some good stuff in, its not consitent though. Atm they've just got a load of hollister perfumes which im not interested in, i think i hoovered up all the decent stuff haha

Perfumes rubbish in T K Maxx at present but found a good deal in clearance there for an advent calendar of room sprays, diffusers and candles. Recommended price £240 down to £23. Sis found one in her branch for £20. Bohema brand.

SOTD Meet Me On The Corner. This has a lovely citrussy opening, with depth, not at all sharp. But it only lasts a couple of hours 😨

Hi everyone! Not been on here for ages, as bought our first house so have been knee deep in dust, paint and spiders for weeks.

Have had to rein in a bit on perfume spend but have had a few bits - 9ml of Centrepiece (Honey one) and Over the Chocolate Shop (prefer the previous version with less coffee, though I love coffee do still really like it).

Picked up 100ml of Piguet Visa in TK Maxx for £24, which is a ridiculous bargain. Also got a 15ml of Dark Heart in the 4160 9ml upgrade offer. I do like this new bottle size. Tempted by a couple more 15ml in their Jan sale, and it was payday yesterday...

Wondering if you had the Visa that was in my local branch!. I read the reviews - what is it really like?

Congratulations cant! That sounds very exciting! (The house, I mean. Obviously the perfume purchases too...)

@teta are you ok over there? I feel we haven't seen you on here for a while which is uncharacteristic...

Although the kids are finally not unwell any more, I am in a general slough of despond as I look around me at the mess, chaos, life admin etc that needs catching up on in the insufficient amount of time that I have for it. I am really tired of being a single mother and I feel completely trapped in it.

SOTD has been Fleurs de Reine by Maison Godet. Although it's cold, I've been a bit 'off' my usual winter scents for some reason.

, , and solidarity fist bump with Mother.

SOTD FM POAL.

Congrats can’t!, and mother it feels like wading through treacle here just now too, for various reasons. Hang on, spring is coming. 💐

Bit of an odd question coming up...

Do any of you have a "go to" funeral perfume?
It's dhs uncles funeral later and I'm dithering over scent choice...

Got a letter - appt on 1st

Stinky fortunately I haven't been to enough recently to have given this much thought. I'd probably go for classic and inoffensive - Coco or No. 5? My condolences.
I'm reconsidering my opinion on Eau My Soul. I do love a bit of orris. Does anyone else immediately think 'old lady' when they smell orris?

NC fail.

knuckles
I've gone for 4160 fluffy lemon tops
I like orris too :)

I don’t think I even know what orris smells like, dilettante that I am.

SOTD Dyptique Do Son.

Actually, I would probably go with white floral for a funeral. Sorry for your loss.

Orris smells powdery. Like Miss Marple.

Mmmmm. Powder.
It went well thank you.
