English i really want to try this to see if it has any resemblance to MH Coeur de fleur - a 2000 scent discontinued (despite my badgering them).

Everyone ok?

Yes please, MrsPerks -- the calendar sounds like a great idea, please count me in!

@FloraMacDonald Yes, you absolutely do need Scherzo! It's wonderful! And the sale is only until tonight I think...?

SOTD FM POAL, after a very long bath, and fresh pyjamas.

Pots, what a worry for you 💐 x

SOTD was YSL Manifesto, a rich vanilla with florals and, on me, lots of caramel/toffee.

calm that sounds delicious. Have added to my must try list.

SOTD is 4160 Hammersmith (tea and biscuits?). Smells v sweet but not sickly. Reminds me of sexiest scent. When I first tried this DS told me I smelt of porridge. He loves porridge so I'm taking that as a good thing.

About to take the kids to nursery on the tube. Let's see how quiet it is. Am taking the tank of a buggy in at attempt to stop the youngest from touching anything.

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle for a day of teaching (?) from my kitchen table. DP is coughing a bit. URGH.

SOTD PP of Geranium Pour Monsieur - Frederic Malle
my son thoguht i smelled of turkish delight but all i can smell is lemomy mont which i am not so keen on!

Lots i am seeing pics of packed tubes. hope you and yours are ok xxx

Tubes are down to a ten or twenty minute service - so they are, inevitably, busy. Not packed but not quiet either. It's crazy, they are blaming those travelling when they need to be keeping a decent level of service to space people out, and getting rid of all central London parking restrictions so people can drive.

Sorry pots. That sounds tough.
I haven't worn perfume for a few days as I'm still hacking away, but I've gone back to showering every day, which is an improvement on last week.

Hope you’re ok pots. The seem to remember you’re an essential worker - are you still having to go in?

SOTD Oud Vert Intense. Very...French for some reason, it must remind me of something or someone. It makes me sneeze.

Get well soon Flora do you think it CV?
lots sending you a hug.

SOTD White Musk

Sotd choco musk (I got a 50ml bottle for mothers day)

I'm a keyworker (apparently) as I run a foodbank so I have to carry a letter around with me now..

Are you ok flora?

SOTD DS&Durga Bowmakers - a lovely, woody hug from a violinmaker in his workshop, dust motes twirling in shafts of light through faded blinds.

Back to perfume only this week, realising I’d abandoned it since starting social distancing on the 12th (France). So nice to reacquaint myself.

Would definately be up for the calendar Mrs Perks. I tend to lurk here as I dont buy much perfume (my toddler cramps my sampling game) but I got 6 samples I’ve not yet tried with the Bowmakers so can contribute if you still need reviewers.

Oh that kind of bow - I thought yew and game of thrones. I am vaguely disappointed.

SOTD FM Lipstick Rose for the first time this year.

Sotd choco musk
It's rapidly becoming my go to scent atm
I'm SO tired

WFH and trying to stick to my routine. SOTD will be White Musk after a shower. Clean, calming, comforting and familiar. All the things i need at the moment. I'm also going to put some White Musk perfume oil in my oil burner.

It's a beautiful day here. I've been wearing Diorissimo pretty continually but will go for something different today.
I hope everyone's ok?
Lots your day sounds incredibly stressful. It sounds like you need an invisible protection shield on the tube.
Flora I hope you're ok.
We've gone really busy with our business - ironically one of the few in demand over this time. Plus, i have three who are online schooling which is very stressful. If I survive Corona, I may not survive us all cooped up together for the next few weeks .

Back to lucky dipping today. I picked TM Angel. I used to wear this all the time 2 decades ago. And probably not too sparingly! Isn't it .....fruity ...! Can I apologise to all my old work colleagues!

SOTD DS&Durga Bowmakers - a lovely, woody hug from a violinmaker in his workshop, dust motes twirling in shafts of light through faded blinds. This sounds amazing Foodie

SOTD is also White Musk for very similar reasons. Also my lovely DD bought it for me for my birthday yesterday x

I am spending today cleaning which i am rubbish at but my lovely cleaner obviously not allowed to travel. I might ring her to give me tips lol

SOTD Tauer Carrilon Pour Un Ang - that's probably not the correct spelling. I love this and might buy a full bottle as a reward when we come out the other side.

I love your description, Foodie!

My SOTD was Guerlain Insolence, a beautiful violet fragrance.

Judy, I love the Tauer Carillon. It’s on my list of “must haves” 💕

Sotd choco musk again
Gawd I'm exhausted

SOTD L'Heure Bleue, for my grandmother's funeral . Very odd day. Drove for several hours to the crematorium to meet a very small selection of my family as there were restrictions on numbers allowed. No hugging, everyone observing social distancing. No wake either, due to the restrictions, so after the service we basically all got back in our cars and drove home again.

Work is insane. I am busier and more stressed than ever. Trying to work out what to do with 300 healthcare students in terms of exams, assessments, teaching and of course front-line, hospital-based clinical placement. It's horrendous.

I am drinking far too much to manage it all

Condolences maud 💐
