Sorry so many of you are having a grim time FlowersCakeWine
Me and DH have had to go into work physically throughout lockdown so it hasn't felt so isolating for us and we don't have kids which makes a huge difference. SOTD is Cherry Who? from 4160 Tuesday's JJB I liked it initially but now it smells like cough medicine.

SOTD Tauer Une Rose Chypree.

I’m just finishing off the Pierre Guillame Animal Mondain sample which Shrill kindly sent me. It is a sweet honeyed pipe tobacco, the scented kind rather than old ashtray. Definitely full bottle worthy, but I have a long list!

My Cristalle has arrived from Origines, beautifully wrapped and with a couple of free samples. It has a manufacture date of 2012, but smells perfectly fresh so has obviously been kept well. I shall really enjoy wearing this.😊

Sotd 4160 temptation.
Very nice musk. Nothing to write home about though.
Glad you liked it calm! I struggle with tobacco in perfumes for some reason.
Its snowing here but not settling ❄

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 15/01/2021 09:51

SOTD NRFH. Yesterday was Byredo Bibliotheque. It's FRIDAY!

Shrillharridan · 16/01/2021 10:46

Morning all
No sotd yet as I'm cleaning and stripping beds. Rock n roll.
I've got my 1st injection on Monday. Can't say I'm looking forward to it. And hoping the weather calms down by then!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 16/01/2021 21:15

SOTD Kiehl’s Musk.

Hope Monday goes okay, shrill. 🥰

Hello. I’ve got a rash on the front of my neck so I haven’t worn perfume for days! I think I will have to brave the chemists tomorrow. Instead I have been annoying my family with heavy incense which even I am getting tired of. I have a 4160 ceramic disc somewhere that I need to dig out.

Good luck for tomorrow @Shrillharridan

Shrillharridan · 17/01/2021 09:57

Thank you
I had a dreadful nights sleep
Ugh
I think I'll have a walk and get some fresh air

Very Good luck @Harridan for tomorrow.
I'm sure they will give you anaesthetic drops first so you shouldn't feel a thing🌹.

Sotd is Friedemodin Rosee de nuit.
I'm really enjoying the woody violet in this and I've realised how much I've missed it in my perfumes.

Thank you floofy for your message a few days ago. I can fully understand!

Yeah...I'm sure il be ok.
Dh is incredibly squeamish and keeps going funny thinking about it 🙄😁

teta · 17/01/2021 19:40

@Calm my Cristalle was made 4 months ago🤨.
Wish mine was 12 years old as well. You probably have real Oak Moss in yours.

Good luck shrill.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 18/01/2021 11:39

SOTD L'air de Rien. Yesterday was Black Opium.

Shrillharridan · 18/01/2021 12:38

Well.
That was a bit stingy 😒

PearsMorgan · 18/01/2021 21:33

Eek. Hope it is not still hurting.

Shrillharridan · 18/01/2021 21:35

Quite sore, but ok.
Got to go back in 3 months

Calmasasleepycat · 19/01/2021 22:03

I hope your eye is not so sore today Shrill 💐. I tried the sample of Swedoft Rasputin the other day. I enjoyed wearing it as I’m a sucker for incense but there was an odd note in it which kept coming through and spoiling it for me, possibly oud?

teta, I looked at the ingredients on the side of my box of Cristalle but there was nothing in there that could have been oak moss. I think 2012 could be post reformulation though? It still smells nice, so I’m content. 😊. My original Cristalle from years ago was an EDT so it would smell different anyway.

SOTD was Carner Barcelona Besos.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 19/01/2021 23:46

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle. Hope you’re doing okay, shrill - I feel squeamish on your behalf!

Shrillharridan · 20/01/2021 09:26

Yeah I'm ok thanks

Shrillharridan · 21/01/2021 09:38

Sotd 4160 temptation
I've just really shouted at ds2
Feel like crap now
But he's so bloody disorganised with his tech.
Infuriates me!

QueenPawPaws · 21/01/2021 10:32

SOTD jlo glow. Revisiting this, I used to wear it all the time

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 21/01/2021 23:00

SOTD MMM Fireplace.

Oh shrill, give yourself a break - this is so hard for everyone. You are doing great.

Shrillharridan · 21/01/2021 23:19
