Ds1 has CV asthma so this winter will be fun :(

teta brilliant! The samples are still in their bag and I've only touched them to spray them.

PM your details and I'll send them to you x

Sotd no idea yet

The only time I wanted to cough recently was in Yoga class, in a small studio with prone figures in relax pose blocking my exit - I nearly choked 😁
We were living in Hong Kong during the first Sars outbreak. If anyone coughed then people would instantly move away and glare angrily at them. This lasted for quite a while post-sars.
Sotd is E Coudray Iris Rose.

Hello! I'm new here but couldn't wait to tell some people. I'm expecting a new perfume (for me) through the post! DH has treated me to it since I read of its existence on Fragrantica.

Fath de Fath! By Jaqueline Fath Grin

Proper perfume house and everything. But that name. So evocative!!!

I shall be humming this:Grin

veryvery · 26/09/2020 19:33

Jaques Fath! Autocorrect fail!

veryvery · 26/09/2020 20:07

And I might just have to get DH this:

That description!Grin

veryvery · 26/09/2020 20:10

Oh and that bottle!,,Grin

yoikes · 26/09/2020 20:33

very Sounds interesting!!

Ds1 has declared that my diptiqye feu de bois candle "smells funky" 😲

Sotd choco musk

@yoikesGrin

I have really been enjoying looking at that website I linked to. There is a 'Viking' men's fragrance but as, you'd expect it's very expensive. And tbh it doesn't promise the same as the Montana one!Grin

yoikes · 27/09/2020 11:45

Ds2s test was negative
Phew

Benjispruce2 · 27/09/2020 12:51

Good news. I’ve just taken my DD16 for one. I have to self isolate too until she gets a negative. I’ve only found this out by googling. Nothing at test centre or in any of the texts or emails from nhs.

Benjispruce2 · 27/09/2020 13:00

Good news for you @yoikes I mean.

yoikes · 27/09/2020 13:05

Yeah. Very relieved.

Benjispruce2 · 27/09/2020 13:06

We’re you told to SI?

Benjispruce2 · 27/09/2020 13:07

Were

yoikes · 27/09/2020 13:15

No, but we did anyway
The person having the test has to SI but not sure about family members until the result is back?

Benjispruce2 · 27/09/2020 13:41

No it’s anyone in your household. I’ve checked on gov website. But it made me wonder how many do as you’re not specifically told. Ridiculous system.

Benjispruce2 · 27/09/2020 13:54

DH isn’t happy as he needs to go to B&Q!

yoikes · 27/09/2020 19:08

It's common sense really but...
One of my neighbours has had a huge party today - 8 cars outside the house 😡
Sotd choco musk
BTW I'm selling my waft edp if anyone is interested?
£20?
It's lovely but I've got other incensey scents I'd reach for first.
Ds2 back to school tomorrow...hurrah!

MrsLorenson · 27/09/2020 19:18

I'll buy it Yoikes!

yoikes · 27/09/2020 19:25

Ok ☺

yoikes · 27/09/2020 19:30

I'll pm you

yoikes · 27/09/2020 19:37

I've ordered a st eval embers candle judy thanks x
Amazon had wax lyrical baby its cold outside candles for £3 down from £20!

yoikes · 27/09/2020 19:38

I've gone retro today and am binge watching the mighty boosh ☺

FloofyAndYetFragrant · 27/09/2020 20:43

Thank goodness Yoikes and fingers crossed benji

Also love St Eval candles especially the Sea Salt ones. I also really love Shearer candles, especially for Autumn/Winter as they do orange/cinnamon/fig/frankincense scents (and their reed diffusers actually give out some scent!) They are lovely and very good value (especially compared to Yankee candles, which I'm not a great fan of tbh)

I have DAGT Wink and ordered a little decant of Chanel Beige. I love this so much but don't think I will ever be able to afford a full bottle! I think it must be the frangipani. Any other fans? It doesn't seem to have that ubiquitous "Chanel note" that a lot of their other perfumes have (I think 19 is also a noticeable exception here too and also love this too now after years of being meh BlushGrin)

SOTD was SJP Lovely as I was trying to remind myself to post about the Sea Salt St Eval Smile

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 27/09/2020 21:22

SOTD Black Opium.

Let me know how it is yoikes, it’s my next purchase I think. I had the sea salt one on the go most of the summer, floofy, currently on sandalwood.

Hurrah for negative tests!
