A beautiful thunderstorm. Enjoyed the drama and cooler air. Cristalle today.

PearsMorgan · 14/08/2020 18:57

SOTD anima Vinci todo azul. Nice. Trying to use up a few samples so can buy more.

Lotsofpots · 14/08/2020 22:27

Hello all. Been absent for a few months, so hope everyone is well.

Been wearing perfume despite not posting, rotating between a few summer faves and a couple of new ones: JM nectarine blossom and honey; 4160 rhubarb and citrus; beauty pie mandarin leaf, white cedar and freesia; beauty pie lime, fig and tea.

Writing this has reminded me of some diptyque faves that haven't had an airing recently, and some PP that I randomly chose a couple of months ago. Will play with them this weekend.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/08/2020 23:24

Hello, lots - how are you getting on? Hope you are okay and keeping well.

SOTD TF SB, which it was too chilly for, really.

Hi lots!
How are you?
Sotd avon lbd weekend - I really recommend this to you citrus lovers.

FloraMacDonald · 15/08/2020 11:18

Hello lots!
SOTD Iris Cendré Naomi Goodsir. It's amazing. All leathery and spicy and soapy and clean. No idea why I was so meh about this last time I tried it. I'm trying to justify a full bottle to myself, possibly even before Au Couer du Desert.
My full bottle list was empty a few weeks ago, now there's loads I want!
The bottle I keep coming back to, though, is Black Calamus. If I could only ever have one perfume, this would be it.

FloraMacDonald · 15/08/2020 11:21

Also, I have realised that I have a lot of unloved samples which should probably go to a new home. Does anyone fancy a sample swap? Or are too many of us still shielding?

yoikes · 15/08/2020 13:43

I've DABT again...
I've ordered the last 2 of the avon lbd range that I don't have...
Red dress and eau fraiche (both discontinued so I'll probably fall in love with them!)
Sotd avon little lace dress

PearsMorgan · 15/08/2020 20:06

Hi lots! And hi @FloraMacDonald I’d be up for a sample swap.

I like to wear an incense/smoky something in the heat. So I went a step further and got some frankincense resin and shisha charcoal from eBay and my house now smells like a full Mass. I love it but people I share the house with have suggested that it may be possible to have too much incense.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 15/08/2020 21:45

SOTD FM POAL. There’s a distinct whiff of autumn in the air here.

Thanks for the welcome back you lovely lot. All is well in the Pots household though the monotony of covid life is getting me down. Eldest starts school in a few weeks, so we've got that looming large soon.

SOTD will be clarins eau des jardins. Doesn't last but the citrus and floral liveliness of it will be perfect for a day when I'm exhausted from no bloody sleep (faulty fire alarm).

yoikes · 16/08/2020 09:48

Morning.
I'm still in bed waiting for my coffee ☕
I have a few bits for swaps too...do we list what we have?

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 16/08/2020 20:48

SOTD MMM Lazy Sunday Morning. Very lazy Sunday indeed, but I did make a huge cauldron of chilli.

Greenpop I haven't worn or smelt Cristalle in years but I now really want a bottle and can smell it in my head.

I'm counting down the days until it's cool enough and autumnal enough to wear Coco again. My all time fave.

MrsPerks · 16/08/2020 23:42

Evening All. Serious DIY/cleaning going on here as house is going up for sale. SotD is Lush's Icon - it layers well with white spirits.

FloraMacDonald · 17/08/2020 13:06

SOTD Amyris Femme Maison Francis Kurkdijian which is lovely and green. Makes me feel like I'm in a rainforest with this funny old weather!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 17/08/2020 15:59

SOTD JM Wood Sage. It is really chilly here today, definitely time to start pulling the autumn scents to the front.

Hi all sorry been absent just no real mojo to write.

SOTE Tea Tonique.

yoikes · 17/08/2020 23:07

Oh, fuck it.
I'm going to sign up to the OU and finish my degree.

MrsPerks · 17/08/2020 23:23

Good for you Yoikes - what subjects would you be studying?

SotE Bal a Versailles (EdT).

All available funds being spent on polyfilla and cushions right now Sad, so looking forward to receiving the Wafts/4160 collaboration next month, although worrying slightly about having plumped for the extrait as the EdP sounds like it might have more incense?
