BUT! I've DABT and ordered the new perfume society box- it's got deo and hand sanitizer in it so a bit different this time :)

Happy Sunday everyone...its blessedly cooler here today. No sotd yet as I'm still in my Pjs ☺

New dishwasher is in place - hurrah!
New debit card has arrived - yay!
New carpet being fitted on Wednesday

We still have to take up the crappy laminate in the room which will be great fun 🙃

The yoikes barbershop has been open today so all the menfolk have been "done"

3 loads of washing done, the dishes and a spot if hoovering

I plan on watching trashy TV for the rest of the day 😊

SOTD tea Tonique. Yesterday as well - sprayed the last few sprays in the bottle and had the great satisfaction of deboxing a new one I had stashed (TKMaxx cheapie).

teta · 09/08/2020 21:50

We only had two hours of sun today, in the midst of a low slung, heavy, gloomy looking sky. But we did manage to have a barbeque which is our warm weather alternative to a roast ☺️
Hope it's a little cooler @Yoikes. How's Scotland @Judystilldreamsofhorses

Hello lovely perfumistas, and sorry to have been absent for so long. I haven't been buying or wearing perfume (shocking I know) for the past few months as life has been so weird.

I just got back on the wagon with a purchase from the Les Senteurs sale -- Mona Di Orio Vetyver. It's lovely but I only really love it in the hottest weather, so let's hope our heat wave continues for a little longer. I have also had Midnight in the Palace Garden on today and it was as lovely and fragrant as I remembered.

My sister chose her wedding perfume after trying some of my samples and wore Annick Goutal Eau de Hadrien! It smelled gorgeous on her! (totally way more stunning than it ever did on me)

How are you all?

FloraMacDonald · 10/08/2020 09:10

I had a bedtime spray of Tauer Vetiver Dance, and suddenly realised what it reminds me of - mum's Elnett hairspray from the 1980s!

yoikes · 10/08/2020 15:54

Hi there mother
Lovely to see you again :)
I am still in my avon lbd phase as I've got all of them on my dressing table now;
Lbd
Lbd weekend
Lbd party
Lbd lace
All gorgeous 😍

yoikes · 10/08/2020 15:55

I still use elnett :)

Greenpop21 · 10/08/2020 17:39

I use Elnett. DH says it reminds him of when we got together (in a nightclub in the early 90s) Grin

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 10/08/2020 18:31

Hi mother!

SOTD Diptyque Philosykos - back to work today, although still at home.

yoikes · 11/08/2020 12:37

Sotd lbd lace
I really should wear this one more often - its lovely. Like most avons though the performance is weak (off to re spray!)

Greenpop21 · 11/08/2020 14:34

Absolutely boiling here so SOTD is 4711 cologne.

Calmasasleepycat · 11/08/2020 17:08

SOTD Guerlain Pamplelune. It’s 33 here again today. Too, too hot for me!

teta · 12/08/2020 09:00

Hi @MotherOfDragonite nice to see you back.
Sotd is Chypre Siam with its Tom nan goon accord. Sort of fits in with this tropical weather.
Massive lightning storm here last night but there was very little noise.

Greenpop21 · 12/08/2020 10:40

Same here @teta . Sotd Yardley Freesia & Bergamot.

FloraMacDonald · 12/08/2020 16:27

It's raining here Smile

yoikes · 12/08/2020 16:59

34 degrees here...🔥
I wish it would just fuck off
Why can't it just fuck off???
(Cries...)

yoikes · 12/08/2020 17:00

sotd avon lbd weekend again
I think I'll get another bottle of this

teta · 12/08/2020 17:34

I switched to my Mallorca cologne I bought from the market last year. It’s made with natural oils so I use it for spraying jumpers ( saw a moth today) and myself - lavender & cedar. It’s actually really lovely in the heat. 🥵⛈

Greenpop21 · 12/08/2020 18:12

Couldn’t agree more @yoikes. I am boiling having just made a stir fry. Thought I’d better attempt a meal as yesterday I declared I wasn’t going near the kitchen so it was every man and woman for themselves. I’ve just retreated from the shower and doused myself in 4711 cologne. Is that thunder I hear? I bloody hope so.

yoikes · 12/08/2020 19:47

No rain here, sadly 😞
Windows open, fan on, its still unbearable 😫
I'm watching detectorists and weeping quietly

teta · 12/08/2020 19:59

It’s raining heavily, thundering and lightning here but still very hot 🔥🥵.
@yoikes have you seen the Fragrantica article on the new Avon Neroli perfume?

yoikes · 12/08/2020 20:00

Oooh no...I'll check it out x
