Really rate all the lbd scents too

SOTD molecule 03. Very summery and keep getting cheering whiffs of it.

I have Avon LBD weekend- it is lovely. my DD has nicked it tho.

Profumum Roma Neroli was Sotd this morning. It was way too floral for a chilly day. Added a couple of sprays of van Cleef & Arpels California Reverie for my writing class. More Neroli and Jasmine - can actually be worn in any weather and at any time.

SOTD Tom Ford Swalley Blank. The sun was out here today, although still bloody freezing.

There are some great cheap masculine-leaning classics out there. I love to wear them, including:

Z14 Halston
Grey Flannel Geoffrey Beane
Or Black (2014 reformulation) Pascal Morabito
Saville Row Richard James (not to be confused with the other Saville Row)
Epices LT Piver

And I love Incense and the original Eau Sauvage (both of which I bought for ExDH who left them behind in the bathroom cabinet. RESULT )

SOTD was Pearl by Sage Machado. I may go back to Diptyque 34 tomorrow though as I have some work meetings and feel like wearing something a little more sophisticated.

Swalley Blank, eh, Judy?

Ooh, that made me grin again, it's quite delicious.

Mercy buckets, as my step-mum used to say in jest (it's French, doncha know)

I don't have any power meetings to go to as i am mostly on the school run or in my home office.

huge document to edit today.
SOTD Bulgari EAU PARFUMÉE AU THÉ VERT sorry dunno why the caps lock
i used to love this 15 years ago and it is not totally to my taste anymore but nice enough.

Mrs does it bother you the ex used to wear eau sauvage?
An ex of mine wore Fahrenheit but as it ended amicably i can still love it.

happy hump day

the power of scent!

SOTD Santa Maria Novella
Sun is out today so feel right

I'm trying to imagine what the scent of terror would smell like: the tang of sweat with the bitterness of fear, the metallic scent of blood with the gore of guts and worse?
Sotd is Friedemodin Rosee De nuit. It actually really reminds me of Ffern Winter 2020. Then I realised that the perfumers are one and the same - Francois Roberts. So it's really not surprising.

That's so funny teta! I love that you can now recognise the perfumers across brands...

SOTD today is Diptyque 34 as I was interviewing somebody and wanted to smell office-appropriate but I am really in the mood for something a bit over the top and dramatic from Andy Tauer. Might dig out the Tauer samples later!

teta, are you planning to stay signed up with Ffern? I am tempted to do a couple more but then I probably need to stop (or else it will curtail my other perfume buying experiments!)

Teta def the onion smell fo fresh stress sweat!!!! vom.

SOTD as changed to Vintage Joop! it is sweet and lovely. not usually my thing but the fact it is actually really old gives it an edge.

Not at all Kali . I introduced him to it (I used to wear it) and he lacked the good taste to wear it very often .

Ugh.
Soooo cold! ❄
Sotd 4160 temptation as I was public facing today.
I'm in the mood for something with some wallop tonight too :)
Hmmm....I might go for Mary Greenwell Fire.
I have ordered some perfume shock BUT it's just an al rehab roll on from ebay for £2.99. I've ordered choco musk. That's my perfume fixfor this month!

A perfume competition popped up on my FB. Look yoikes you could vote for Lemon Scented Handwipes Under the Lemon Tree.

SOTD was JHAG Mad Madame, but have (shock) been out tonight, so SOTE was Chanel 19.

STOP TEASING ME WITH THE CHANEL NO19

PP dupe(Clear) is out of stock, does anyone know of another?

Do you want me to decant you some, Kali? I have not a massive amount of actual 19, but an almost full bottle of the poudre version (a bit warmer, less sharp) that I could do for you? I am not normally big on flankers but I have had multiple bottles of this along with 19-proper since it launched, it is really lovely. I tend to layer them up.

I've woken up with a headache.

Luckily no plans today.

Bleurgh.

Sotd will be something soft

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque. TFI Friday!
