Anyone know anything about Zara perfumes?
Mrs did you look at TK Maxx?

Yes, Kali, but they are messing with my mind . It's impossible to order right now (think they must have reached their daily limit very early in the morning ).

On Zara, I tried a couple of the Jo Malone collaboration - Sali Hughes reviewed these enthusiastically. Some small-sized rollerball options, and a discovery set I think?

Tk's were working at 8.30 this morning. When I had to wake up to let the dog out. I Was woken up at 1.30 am and 3 am by bloody nocturnal teenagers. I'm now tired and headachey due to lack of sleep and hay fever.
Sotd is California Reverie 🌞

Nocturnal teens are a pita

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone would recognise these perfumes please? I know the middle one is Vera Wang Princess but I am stumped on the other two.

It is from the Amy Winehouse exhibition and I've read she favoured Givenchy and Chanel perfumes but I'm still drawing a blank on them.

Thank you

Thr middle one is def vera wang princess

Not sure on the other 2....I'll do some research!

Oh wow what a great challenge thank you! I have trawled fragrantica (perfume site and despite the reference on the Grammy site about the exhibition I don't think either of them are Givenchy or Chanel. Reading more widely I found out that she also liked Penhaligon perfumes which could be the one on the left and Escada which could be the one on the right. Unfortunately this doesn't narrow it down much!

The one on the left is Amka Organic Bath Oil and the one on the right is Neom Restore Organic Bath Oil.

Thank you everyone for your help I have spent days on Google trying to find out and wish I had thought to post on here in the first place.

My daughter is turning 21 this year and is a huge Amy fan and loves perfume (uses more Black Opium than I think Boots does) so I thought I could try and get her some perfume the same as Amy wore.

Here's another option, Punny, Back to Black

SOTD Tea Tonique

The kayali samples from the layering box are lovely. Simple but work well alone or layered.

Teta is that your entry on 3rd?

SOTD Georgio Beverley Hills (Zozo dupe anyway) cloying and sweet so i spray in air and walk through.
Can't believe i am gravitating twards such sweet scents these days when i used to be an after shave leathery kind of girl.

Home schooling and work today. yay.

Tis me .
Can you tell that home-schooling despair is setting in.

Yes i can and i feel you

i am on my 3rd cup of tea (had a coffee earlier too)

Taking a quick break from a busy wfh day combined with bloody homeschooling annoyingness to say hello!

SOTD Sisley Izia. Bergamot blast and then candied rose drydown. Cute.

Will check up on calendar reviews later. Look forward to it .

Apologies in advance - today's diary entry won't be up until this evening.

Ds1 slept thru' his first lesson today in spite of being woken up 3 times.
We've just received a school.email.
I get incandescent with fury and shout at him, only for him to shout back.
Now, phone & computer games are being taken off him.

for you both. It's the pits.

ds1 is a bit testy atm as he is due his 1st (yes..1st) a level politics virtual lesson at 1pm...

I've been telling him since 12.30pm to get set up...
Sigh.

Ds1 is unusual amongst his peers as he's just not a techy at all....I'm often the one helping him!

My sotd is now stardrops as I've been tsckling the bathroom. I HATE that job which is why its so bad!

Ugh. I need a shower. Bit I don't want to mess up the lovely sparkly bathroom! Woe!

Calms thank you so much for the list!!

Is this soft start to A level or current A level?
i have no idea what my GCSE kid is actually doing work wise and he seems to think it's ok to take a nap mid lesson.
Grrr.
Teta i get the rage too.

Mine are primary-aged. I'm doing lots of tech support.

Ds1 is year 12 so 1st year A levels.

After it transpired that ds1 didn't actually
know what he was doing despite dh showing him allegedly but luckily the lesson has been delayed til 2pm so I've sorted it.

(Rocks back and forth...)

Fortunately ds2 is quite techy thank god

He just sorts his stuff out and prints any work sheets off.

I'm doing a zoom talk to a local rotary club tomorrow.
