Masque Milano love kills is Sotd. It's a Rose Geranium that's beautifully done. Smells like my granny's bath oil that we were allowed to use as kids for a real treat. It's so much nicer than Hiram Green's Lustre that smelt sour and disappointing.

FloofyAndYetFragrant · 14/09/2020 10:55

Oooh rose geranium. Sounds lovely. I am in love with Neals Yard geranium and orange hand cream (usually too expensive to buy but have one as gift atm and I love it) Actually it would be interesting to know what hand cream is popular on this thread as I bet we all have lovely ones 

Welcome @GreekYogurtWalnuts! I can't believe no one yoikes Winkhas mentioned Avon Timeless to you! Sorry if they did and I missed it. Based on your scents you may love it?

Oh YY really looking forward to winter clothes, LOVE swapping mine over. I vac pack and swap them over twice a year as I have a small house but lots of clothes (my DD occasionally moan when a vac pack falls off the top of their wardrobe onto their heads, but one DD wasn't moaning the other day when she was wearing my 90s slip dress with sunflowers on, white platforms and leopard print coat)

Beautiful colour hair Yoikes. Would put a pic of mine but it desperately needs shaving Blushand I look a bit like a hedgehog who has been playing with marker pens. But a hedgehog who smells nice Grin SOTD is the PP version of the Prada Iris one. I love this and it's the last hurrah of Summer here.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/09/2020 13:19

Avon timeless you say? I’ll have a look at that.

SOTD is Chanel no5 l’eau although it’s really a bit hot for it I think

yoikes · 14/09/2020 14:30

ooooooh...
Avon Timeless!
Beautiful Amber chypre for £5 a bottle!

Sotd 4160 ESSOYPE

Lotsofpots · 14/09/2020 17:06

celebrating the resurgence of summer with 4160 WIDOMH. My son said I smelt lovely.

GreekYogurtWalnuts · 14/09/2020 19:41

Ok I need the lowdown on these abbreviations!

yoikes · 14/09/2020 19:42

SSOTPEI = seciest scent on the planet ever imho

WIDOMH = What I did on my holidays

Both by 4160 Tuesdays

PearsMorgan · 14/09/2020 22:04

I forgot to put perfume on today! Something must be wrong with me!

MrsLorenson · 14/09/2020 22:50

Evening All.

As you know I have been eagerly awaiting my WftL. I came in from the sunny garden today to find two red Post Office cards on the doormat. I read the first - please collect from the sorting office leaving 24 hours Angry. Read the second - please ignore the first card, I've thrown it over the (8ft) gate. Shock All I can say is that 4160Tuesdays pack their perfume very, very, very well. Smile

Anyway, the extrait isn't at all what I was expecting (for some reason I was expecting dust, leather and furniture polish Grin). But this is a richly fruited and powdery-warm amber. It smells quite familiar (in a good way); sort of Take me to the River crossed with the The Darkest Bloom, with a pinch of the chilly cherry tobacco note from Evil Max thrown in for good measure.

teta · 15/09/2020 17:39

@mrslorenson 😯 at the postman. What was he thinking ?
@FloofyAndYetFragrant your hand cream sounds delicious. I have a beautifully scented L'Occitane lavender hand sanitizer but I'm allergic to scented hand cream . It makes my hands burn, so I only use Aveeno. I actually have very sensitive allergic skin and react to loads of cosmetics and even antibiotics . But I've never reacted to perfume, apart from when I started spraying my tummy & chest and I developed a sore red rash.

yoikes · 15/09/2020 17:40

Hi smelly ones 😘

Well, what a flipping day. Had to sit on a Disciplinery Hearing panel which took all day. Ugh.

I've been reading a book on menopause by germane greer and its made me fucking furious but also made me feel better and is quite reassuring that I'm not going mad 😬😵

I think I've actually always been this furious, impatient, annoying person but the oestrogen masked it!!! 😡

yoikes · 15/09/2020 17:41

teta are you allergic to lanolin? I ask as dsw is allergic to e45! Has an awful reaction to it.

Sotd was 4160 sexiest scent on the planet ever imho

Sote will be 4160 fluffy 🍋 top

teta · 15/09/2020 17:43

Forgot my Sotd is Atelier des ors Blanc Polychrome . Perfect for a warm sunny day and an hour and a half in the dentists chair 🙄

yoikes · 15/09/2020 17:46

oooo teta hope you're ok xx

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 15/09/2020 22:59

SOTD MMM Fireplace. We do not have the late summer heatwave here.

unoeufisunoeuf1 · 16/09/2020 11:29

Sotd is Annick Goutal Heure Exquise. I hardly ever wear it but when I do, I remember why I love it so. The (sandal?) wood is so creamy and smooth.

There seems to be a lot of love for 4160T; you've made me want to dig out my sample set. I remember liking Ealing Green but the others didn't grab me at the time - mind you this was several years ago and I know how fickle my tastes can be. @yoikes and @lotsofpots I will see if I have the ones you mentioned! I'm sure you both smell wonderful.

yoikes · 16/09/2020 13:58

uno

Huere exquise sounds beautiful 😍

Sotd 4160 SSOTPE again. I don't like that many of the 4160s tbh but the ones I like I 💜

I'm debating asking dh for a the bloom yearly subscription for my day next month but...I also really want a eufy robovac!!

GreekYogurtWalnuts · 16/09/2020 14:22

Hi again I will catch up properly later but thanks to the poster who helped me out with the abbreviations!

Sotd is Dior Dune - another oldie but goodie imo Smile

FloraMacDonald · 16/09/2020 15:15

@unoeufisunoeuf1 I'm with you on the 4160s. I also like Ealing Green, but not many of the others. Captured by Candlelight is nice.
Yoikes a vacuum cleaner?! Really? Rather than perfume. I thought better of you .
SOTD is Black Calamus....again!

yoikes · 16/09/2020 15:24

I know...I know...
(Hangs head in shame...)
😁

Benjispruce2 · 16/09/2020 16:56

Hi scented ones. Lurked for a while. I used to buy PP Gucci Envy since it was discontinued but just got a bottle after it being out of stock and it’s so different Sad. Smells like a Gloria Vanderbilt. I have the oil and it’s so close to the original but the spray is different this time. Will return. Just found ‘I smell like’. Anyone tried their dupes?

yoikes · 16/09/2020 17:28

It's awful when a beloved scent gets discontinued isn't it? 😕

weeps over avon nightmusk eau de parfum

I'm mulling over getting some angel muse....
