Yes I have a knack for picking scents that then get discontinued. I saw Angel on ‘ I smell like’.

Oh no, Les Nuits d’Hadrien discontinued?! I got a bottle of this when we lived in Paris. It was Christmas Eve, we were out buying some last minute bits and pieces and DH said he hadn’t got me a present yet because he “didn’t know what I wanted.” This wasn’t the first (or last) time he had done this. It was cold, I was tired, we had his family staying (including his Dad’s useless mate - don’t ask) and I burst into tears, full on hysterical, snotty, heaving sobs and told him that I was sick of coming last and him not giving a shit about me. (I am usually the world’s calmest person, so this was completely out of character.) We went to have a coffee and a brandy, he grovelled a bit and asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted a bottle of Annick Goutal’s Grand Amour. He disappeared to Galeries Lafayette, I walked home. The next day he presented me with a bottle of Les Nuits d’Hadrien, as between the cafe and the shop, he had forgotten what I asked for...

Today I got a box from Les Senteurs, which was a present from him - a bottle of Tauer L’Air du Desert Marocain. I’ve still never had a bottle of Grand Amour!

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle.

That is a great story, mrsS, and a lovely present today too!

Lovely story mrss ☺
What a sweet gift, too.

did anothe rblind buy today, bought Alien Flora Futura. its lovely, Alien DNa of course with soemthing powedery and lovely running through it

SOTD is 4160 Who Knew.

uno other 4160s I love are rhubarb and citrus, rhubarb and custard, white queen, over the chocolate shop, sunshine and pancakes. But worth remembering that I like to smell like pudding (who knew, rhubarb and citrus and white queen being the exception)

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque.

Bought some Spanish children’s cologne called Nenuco off a random eBay browse and currently splashing that about liberally. Orange blossom, laundry smell and seems to keep the midges off!

Pots - have you tried The Great Randello and Centerpiece? Both very pudding-y😃.

I've just discovered a nice surprise in my daughter's bedroom. Her Canadian grandma gave her a Bottle of perfume that she said smelt too strong... a while ago. Well, it's a vintage tester bottle of Diorissimo . Boxed and perfect and looks maybe dating back to the 50's or 60's. Grandma is 92. She has donated it to me 😍🤗.

Excellent news, Teta - what a great Grandma.

Not quite so spectacular, but I did discover a couple of my old perfumes when clearing out the loft, including half a bottle of early 90s Coco.

Sad but true MrsS. Great story. Did See You Next Tuesday ever grow on him? ExH's stand-out gifts to me included a cheap plastic filofax-type thing and a watermelon.

SotD has been Nahema - which at a certain point does remind me a bit of Le Parfum de Therese. Unexpected.

4160 fans: please tell me about Goldhawk and Hammersmith Tea and Biscuits?

@MrsLorenson sadly not! But I have retrieved it and am using it myself. I’m quite proud of it and I think it delivers what he asked for, although what he asked for doesn’t seem to be what he wanted!

He is still shit at buying presents for Christmas and Birthdays. I got a cat cruet set last Christmas with the promise of “a proper present in January” that never materialised.

Wow teta!

My sample of angel muse has arrived so I'm off for a spray

That's a great present, teta!

SOTD JHAG Mad Madame. I am so glad it's Friday!

SOTD Avon Timeless. I don't usually like florals, but this is lovely.

Sotd avon little lace dress 👗

How many in here are waiting for the new Ffern? I'm intrigued by this year's autumnal concept and how they're going to make Rose & Oud into the smell of Petrichor.
Masque Milano L'Attesa is scent of the morning as it was chilly and a contemplative chilly Iris seemed like the right move.

Anyone tried Eden vegan perfumes? Apparently their no42 is a copy of Gucci Envy. Currently out of stock but will try.
The ismelllike Envy wasn’t remotely like it sadly. PP told me to put their dupe in the fridge for a day and it has improved it but still not as good as their last batch . Yes I am Gucci Envy obsessed.

Leaves are starting to fall here and I have been in a bit of an ambery-spicy rut, cycling mostly between La Fumee Arabie, The Wafts, Red Amber (Pascale Morabito) and Ambre Intense (Evody). Nahema has been providing light relief - still intrigued by the parallel between it's fruity aspects and Le Parfum de Therese.

And Raghba - good pyjama vanilla/amber.

sotd pp by the fireplace but it was too warm for it, really.
Vanilla and Amber sounds lovely 😍
I might have a bath and scent up 😁

I somehow lost you all over the weekend! SOTD is MG Plum, yesterday was L'Air de Rien, and Saturday was Kiehl's Musk.

SOTD Scent of a Dream. I know it's not a popular choice, but I love it. Although it is a lot more floral than I remember (haven't worn it all summer).

I suggested a sample swap a while ago and a couple of folk were interested. If anyone wants to have a go please let me know.
