I finally received my Jenny Glow Pear & Freesia today. Slightly disappointed that’s it’s not as good as Aldi’s soap Blush and as it doesn’t seem to last but I’ll try it again tomorrow as I sprayed it this evening before cooking-silly thing to do but got in from work and it I could wait to rip open the package.

Calmasasleepycat · 03/06/2020 17:27

I can never wait to open perfume parcels, Greenpop!

SOTD was Hermes Eau d’Orange Verte. Bitter green orange, very refreshing but short-lived.

Greenpop21 · 03/06/2020 18:17

I tried the Jenny Glow pear and freesia again and it was better but don’t think it’s going to rival my faves.

Calmasasleepycat · 03/06/2020 18:42

I will definitely have to try that Aldi soap, Greenstop. I do love a good scented soap. My favourite is a Nesti Dante one “Villages & Monasteries”. It has the softest most fragrant incense smell. I would love a perfume like that. I might try the Bloom incense sample set to see if there is anything that matches.

yoikes · 03/06/2020 19:51

I have that neste dante soap bar too!
My 4160 parcel is going to come tomorrow! Shall I take pics?

PearsMorgan · 03/06/2020 19:57

@yoikes yes some deboxing pics would be nice!

I think I’ve got too much perfume. Just got the Ffern summer email. So have to use up some and take vicarious pleasure in other people’s deliveries

SOTD was Ffern spring and I need a SOTE to perk me up a bit. What shall it be...

teta · 03/06/2020 20:15

Me too @pears - to the too much perfume. I have over 50 bottles, lots of decants and loads of samples. I do sell them on when I get bored, but then buy other ones 😄. So it sort of defeats the purpose. I want to cut down to under 50.
I've also received the summer Ffern email. Last year's summer Ffern was my favourite of the year so I'm looking forward to this year's.
@Calmasasleepycat that incense soap sounds delicious. I'm another incense lover and in the past I've ordered the Bloom pack. I love Myrrh in perfumes especially the bitter green myrrh that often acts add a counterpoint to sweetness in perfumes.
My favourite incense perfume is L' occitane eau d'Iparie . It's a beautiful sheer green incense and also Ffern Summer 2019 - a rich warm citrussy fresh incense.
Sotd is Ffern Spring . I find this really woody and not really suitable for this really warm spring. However Its good for today - a typical UK coolish day.
Looking forward to some @Yoikes pics too.

SOTD Chanel 19. It seems to be back to winter here.

It’s cant who has the doggies, Judy. I’d love to see a photo too!

cantbelievemyeyes · 04/06/2020 09:02

Ah go on then!

teta · 04/06/2020 10:01

The doggies look utterly at home 😄

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/06/2020 10:35

Sorry, calm, but oh, can't, what lovely dogs! I think people believe greyhounds are going to need mad amounts of exercise, but in reality they are so lazy and chilled. Do you need to keep them on a lead in case they chase?

SOTD NRFH. It is so cold here again, I've just put the heating on.

PearsMorgan · 04/06/2020 11:54

Lovely hounds! It’s cold here too. SOTD Mojave Ghost. I like florals when it’s cold and smoky things when it’s hot. Is that normal?

Calmasasleepycat · 04/06/2020 12:47

I love your dogs cant. You obviously chose the one on the right to match the carpet! I thought they would be all curled up, but they're stretched out, just like most dogs.

yoikes · 05/06/2020 17:27

Parcel has arrived.
I'll post pics tomorrow x

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/06/2020 22:37

SOTD L’Air de Rien. Where did summer go?

OP posts:
PearsMorgan · 06/06/2020 13:13

I know it’s freezing here! SOTD iso E super

teta · 06/06/2020 14:18

Sotd is Malle's Lipstick Rose. It's chilly here too but warms up when the sun comes out.
Anyone else getting excited about the Ffern Summer Perfume yet?

Greenpop21 · 06/06/2020 18:11

SOTD Chanel Cristalle

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 06/06/2020 21:35

SOTD MMM Lazy Sunday Morning.

SOTD Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille. This is so delicious 💕

yoikes · 07/06/2020 13:41

I've begun!!

The Lovely Friendly Perfumistas may not be going anywhere, but they still smell AMAZING! It’s thread 26!
teta · 07/06/2020 14:18

Ooh - looks exciting @Yoikes. You will have to give us feedback. I think Marina Barcenilla is doing something similar too.
Sotd is Ormonde Jayne Tiare.

Greenpop21 · 07/06/2020 15:46
