Sote 4160 fluffy lemon top

[MotherOfDragonite]

I've been wearing a lot of Fluffy Lemon Top too! It's lovely.

[MotherOfDragonite]

I feel like I should expand my perfume horizons... but I'm really very happy with my current favourites (Diptyque 34, Eau Duelle, Fluffy Lemon Top). And of course the old Monyette Paris, which I can never seem to give up.

Was going to be going to NYC for a family thing in the spring, but now unsure whether it's a good idea with coronavirus! (I'm thinking of stocking up on more Monyette Paris while I can...)

Been out to the dales today.
Very windy! But not busy which was nice.
Sotd my sexiest scent with added amber

SOTD MMM Jazz Club. Windy and freezing here again today, so fed up of winter!

[KaliforniaDreamz]

Avoiding real life with a little web browsing and i spy a few Eli Saab's on tkmax website

if i hate santal 33 and poirier d'un soir but love coeur de fleur/ bottega veneta eau legere/body shop white musk etc which should i get?

neroili or oud?

xx

[teta]

The Neroli @Kalifornia . If you read the note on Fragantica it's mainly Neroli and Musk - both notes I adore . It's also a really good price, so you would be able to eBay it if you didn't like it. I've actually never tried it but used to love the original Elie Saab perfume. Francis Kurkdjian is definitely an orange blossom master Parfumeur.

[KaliforniaDreamz]

Thank you so much Teta i had a feeling it would be the neroli - i did look them up on fragrantica but i can't seem to get my head around what it is i like in a perfume.. x

SOTD MH Rose Silence

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle.

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

Where is everyone? SOTD POAL.

I have a £100 JL card, what should I buy? I am tempted by Beach Walk, but since I just bought the TF Eau de Soleil Blanc maybe it’s too same-y?

[yoikes]

Hi judy
I'm here :)
Yesterday I wore avon lbd.
Sotd pp by the fireplace.
£100? I'd get Estee lauder modern muse nuit :)

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

Hi yoikes! I’m not that keen on MM, but actually did ponder one of the Aerin Lauder ones - the geranium one. Really I want the Diptyque Geranium, but it’s OOS...

[yoikes]

I'm not keen on the original at all but l9ve the nuit version :)
I fancy the aerin lauder amber one...sigh...i shall never be able to afford it!
I'm going to request a massage for mothers day :)

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

Actually, I might get more JM Wood Sage and Sea Salt. I really love it, but wouldn’t pay actual cash money for it when my last bottle (gift) ran out, because it is quite fleeting. I could get the 50ml and spray with abandon, plus have £30 left over to pay towards my Clarins moisturiser which is just about done.

[teta]

Hi @Judy 👋🏻.
I love Wood Sage & Sea Salt too. Lucky you having a voucher.
I wore La Fille de Berlin layered with L Occitane Lavender today. I feel it should be spring now but it’s really not. I’m so tired of the endless gales and driving rain. Plus my car nearly drowned on the school run today. Our local town is really badly flooded and inaccessible at the moment.

[Calmasasleepycat]

Hello Judy, I’d probably buy one of the Chanel Exclusifs if I had a spare £100 (plus!). My favourite moisturiser is a Clarins, hydra essential lotion, but it is mega cash so I eke it out.

SOTD was 4160Tuesdays Sexiest Scent on the Planet. This is not one I turn to very often but I quite enjoyed the wafts all day.

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

Hi teta! It’s my birthday tomorrow. My mum sent me a voucher, and a cheque. DP has been doing bits of freelance teaching since being made redundant at Christmas, but money is super tight, so she’s been really generous. I feel so sad for DP as he won’t have been able to buy me any gifts.

I am also sick to the back teeth of this weather, although I think we have got off fairly lightly. Spring seems so far away, although I am keeping the house full of £1 daffs.

[yoikes]

Happy birthday judy

[FloraMacDonald]

Happy birthday Judy. 🎂🎁
Who was asking about Under the Lemon Tree? I just had a spritz. My initial thought was 'lemon-scented refreshing moist towelette' - those things you used to get to wipe your hands with on an aeroplane in the 80s. Hopefully it will develop into something less synthetic smelling. I'll update later!

[yoikes]

Me!! :)
Hope it improves :)

[teta]

Happy birthday @Judystilldreamsofhorses 🎉🎂💐.

[FloraMacDonald]

@yoikes - nope, it has faded to nothing. There's a vague sweet vanilla-ish note lingering on, but it's very weak. I don't really see the point in it. Do you want the rest of the sample? You might get on better with it. DM me your address.

[MotherOfDragonite]

Happy birthday judy!

SOTD is Pearl by Sage Machado.

[caperplips]

Hi everyone, can I join in please?
I love perfume and love discovering new ones too.
I am currently alternating: Creed Neroli Sauvage, Eau Santa Maria Novella, Le Labo Bergamote 22. These are all newish bottles.

I have small amounts left of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino (adore this!) and Tom Ford Black Orchid, for evenings.

I have small 10ml bottles of Penhaligon's Artemis, Empressa, Ellensia and very small new (free) testers of Halfeti and Cairo.

I'm currently lusting after Tom Ford Santal Blush

Today I'm wearing Creed Neroli Sauvage - dh bought it for me for Christmas and I really like it.

Dh is curently wearing Santa Maria Novella Opoponax, or Tom Ford Oud Wood, or L'Eau de Lowe and I love all of them on him!

Scent really has the power to transform - I adore it!

I'm looking forward to trying new ones inspired by this thread!
