Ok...confession time...I've never understood why anyone would want to smell like the sea/ocean/high tide/rum...
Eeeww 😖
My sotd has vanished so time to choose a sote

Oh, I absolutely love sea/beach smells, yoikes! I think it harks back to Issey Miyake and CK Escape as a student. Heeley Sel Marin would be on my desert island list. (I also have two rum based full bottles - Dark Rum, and Jazz Club!)

SOTE is Miss Dior, with leopard print velour joggers. All glamour!

Oh I loathed ckone and ozonic/watery scents...bleurgh.
Judy...I think you may be my evil perfume twin! 😄❤
Sote 4160 temptation. This is a very nice blend of musks.

i don't like watery scents but i like the idea of sea things.

SOTD is a pungent mix of Terre de Hermes and Givenchy and a dodgy Tuberose i bought on Amazon.

I may choke.

I love l'eau d'Issey! I know it's not very sophisticated, but I'm still stuck in the early 90s and I don't care! I would also still wear too much black eyeliner if my eyelids weren't quite so wrinkly

Now, I didn’t like CK One! I really like 4160 Tuesdays What I Did On My Holidays too. I know this will get me kicked off the thread, but I haven’t liked any of their other fragrances at all, but I have a full bottle (or it was) of WIDOMH.

SOTD HdP Ambre 114. Finally caved and bought the 15ml at the weekend, and now irritated I spent so long ignoring it in my perfect Amber hunt. There was a new one from HdP too, Unexpected Mona 7753. Lovely summery citrus/tuberose/Heliotrope concoction which I will definitely get a 15ml of if the weather ever gets nicer.

That PP name Crimson Exit makes me feel a bit queasy, ha...

cant one of my favourite ambers!!
Gorgeous

Just wanted to pop in with another thank you for MrsMoggs for the samples she sent me for my business pitches. Sotd for the last two days has been Seville a l'aube and hopefully it will have won me some orders! Having a day off pitching tomorrow but will use the remaining sample later in the week.

I've just done a big PP order, 4 for DH, and 4 for me. Fahrenheit, Aventus, Invictus and a YSL one for DH and Chanel Boy, JM Grapefruit, Diptyque 34 and a random Arabian Oud one for me.

If anyone would like my 3ml PP Rive Gauche, let me know, it's too cold and metallic for me, hurts my nose! On same note, I have an MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver mini going spare.

Morning!
I'm meeting my sister for coffee later ☕
I've already been rather naughty this month and bought the new hilary mantel, some latte scented wax melts and some posh bath oil melts.
But thanks to cant I now know that HdeP do 15mls!! Argh! 😄
Sotd will be 4160 temptation.
I also don't like that many 4160s judy
But the few I do I love ❤
I have 5 of their FBs:
Temptation (in the sale)
Fluffy lemon top
Extra Sexiest scent
Extra sexiest scent with added amber (special edition)
Amberama
I like a few more, such as white queen and eau my soul, that just don't smell right on me those pesky lactones!
I can see sunshine!!!😮

Morning, it's pissing down here and cold too, the rain is a bit sleety I think :-( I'm in work now and SOTD is Le Labo Bergamote 22 - I really like this one. I keep forgetting to trial some of the samples they gave me when I bought the full bottle last month.

Can I ask what does HdeP stand for?

@yoikes I must look out for the new Hilary Mantel, I am a huge fan of her writing!

I had 30mins between meetings yesterday and happened to be near a big department store so I had a good spray of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and then had a quick browse a the spring stuff - I saw SO many really nice things in Whistles and Mint Velvet. I reckon I could have spent about £1,500 in that few minutes, EASILY :-0

so my dodgy Amazon Tuberose apparently smells like Carnal Flowers by Frederick Maille and georgio beverley hills

who knew?

Boglins i have a few saved in my PP basket inclduing Sauvage and
Parma Violets and Rive Gauche!! If you don't mind off loading yours i would be happy to try it!

SOTD is the dodg Tuberose again. I think it just cheers me up but i have to spray into air and walk through it or i would die from the pungency.

can't Crimson Exit and Torn lolololol there's also a Bulbous hahahhaha

@KaliforniaDraeamz I have a real sample of Carnal Flowers but I have been a bit nervous to try it as I hated Portrait of a Lady and had to wash it off.

I'm saving Carnal Flowers till I'm going out some evening as I'm not sure they're 'daytime' perfumes for me, I tend to wear more 'cologne' smelling scents during the day.

Sorry HdeP = histoire de parfums
Their ambre 114 is one of the best amber scents in the world imo :)
Also love artisan parfumers l' ambre extreme.
Luscious!

My new avon mystique amber isn't bad either for £8!! :)

Of course Kali, I will PM you

Ooh I have never heard of Histoire de parfums, must check them out.
In the past I have had a couple of Artisan Parfumers - L'Eau de L'Artisan (I think!) and Fou D'Absinthe and I adored them both .The Fou D'Absinthe was a blind buy in TK Maxx one year, I wasn't 100% sure at first but it really grew on me.

I was very surprised to see that on their own website both of those perfumes are classified as men's!

I wear a few "mens" scents...
TF noir de noir being one

I think I mostly wear men's scents - am far more drawn to them and generally don't like floral or sweet..

I have worn Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Tom Ford Oud Wood (technically Dh's but I wore it more often) and currently have Creed Neroli Sauvage

Can anyone describe the new Avon Pathouli indulgence edp for me? I LOVE patchouli and am thinking it might be a good one for me....

I also love men's scents.

Blue i have it in my basket....

I'm tempted! :)

AIBU to buy Mesmerise for her beacuse i like the blue bottle

Its a very nice soft oriental kali
Office friendly

I've got all 3 ;)
Blue: oriental
Black: patchouli lite
Amber: amber!
