Timeless edt - classic florals with amber, jasmine & musk
Imari edt - Italian lemon, jasmine & vanilla
Imari Fantasy edt - Jasmine sambac, caramelised hazelnut and cashemere wood
Herstory edp - Pink pepper, iris & patchouli

I thought the herstory sounded nice, and just got the others because they're so cheap. The others all sound a bit floral for me, but at that price I can spray them in my stinky runners if I don't like them. Grin

Definitely! I've been mapping out a trip to Les Senteurs. Or we could visit Tauer - travel will probably be cheap!

Calender post is up.
Sotd is L Artisan Parfumeur Fleur de Liane.
Like the sound of a perfumistas trip.

What a poignant calendar post - Teta, lovely to have a scent capturing the baby years. I have this for one child but not so much for the other.

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque. Almost time for a new thread, which must reference that we have not lost our collective smell, or humour.

I love the personal stories, that sounds like an amazing time teta, though I'm sorry to hear it didn't stay like that. I'm a little envious of both the life experience, and the twins!

I saw earlier on facebook that Perfume Parlour is reopening at the end of the month, for those of us partial to a dupe!

Lovely review Teta. I have twins and warm memories of that first year but no associated fragrance.

SOTD Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois. All I can smell is peach - another BoSho throwback!

Ah Teta you made me cry... x
I picture us in a swanky bar with leather booth style seats, high ceilings with an art deco vibe and a handsome waiter bringing us cocktails as we get to know one another.
sigh....

SOTD Acqua di parma iris noble, still desperatel seeking not Susan but comfort.

Loving the calendar all of you x

Apologies - another mad day at work so the calendar will be done later this evening.

My Bloom parcel arrived today, so SOTE is Iris Cendre. Iris & tobacco - what's not to love?
I know I'm shallow, but I do like the Perfume Society packaging. Bloom is a bit more utilitarian.

Sotd is Friedemodin Jardin Mystique. A dewy floral is just right for today's flip flop weather. It's been alternately sunny & raining here.
I received my bottle of replacement Cristalle from Origines. It's perfect and was a brilliant price. It had a note on it that it was only authorised to be sold at Chanel boutiques!
Plus I've dabt in buying a vintage bottle of Faberge - a touch of class and a replacement bottle of Fleur du matin.
Someone please stop me spending . Don't know what's got into me 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ladies

In the late 80s I was obsessed with a Miss Selfridge perfume... in the days of Iron Lady lippie. I wore it loads but can't remember what it's called... can anyone help?
