New thread. Let’s get the vanilla away, lockdown done, and the citrus and coconut out.

Sotd amouage Epic, love it and added bonus my 6yr old told me I smelled lovely Grin

FloraMacDonald · 13/03/2021 16:52

Everything is annoying me this week, including all my favourite perfumes. Vetiver insolent, Good Girl, incense extreme & Ealing Green have all annoyed me this week. Strangely enough, MJ Daisy hasn't pissed me off. I suspect it's me, not the perfumes. Confused

@Calmasasleepycat your baccarat is in the post, let me know when it lands safely

Fferny1 · 13/03/2021 19:15

Wore Rook Neroli for my Covid vacc.
Was painless & very well organised

@Flora I often have days when nothing works too.

@Hex I like your perfume enthusiasm.

Currently working my way through a huge amount of Bond No9 testers I was given last time I went to Harrods perfume hall. I always keep their New York Nights on rotation as it's one of my favourites but I've had these testers sat here for ages so today I've got Soho on and omg it took me back to when I was 14 and had my first kiss at the local ice rink Blush Mat was his name (only one T) and I was head over heels with him. Might look him up on fbook ha!

Sotd pp mmm BTF

notmethenwho · 14/03/2021 16:24

Sotd is an All Saints one! Yet another from my pile of testers and it's gorgeous
Incense City. It's a soft, powdery incense. I'm impressed, will see how long it lasts for.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/03/2021 19:05

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle. Hoping everyone has had lovely weekends and all the mums have been thoroughly spoiled!

I was given Neals Yard bath oil from 2 and flowers from the other two.
I've felt rotten, headachey & achey all day & felt awful all last night, intermittently very cold & shivery/hot after my Covid jab. DH felt ill for two days, so I'm hoping it will all be over by tomorrow.

QueenPaw · 15/03/2021 15:18

Sample of this just arrived. First spray and I LOVE it. FB worthy. Damn Grin

My task is to use up another FB before I buy anything so I need to pick something to use up
Thinking CK one summer 2008 as I'm about 2/3 of the way through

MissBattleaxe · 15/03/2021 15:39

Hi everyone, hope you're all well. I bought my Mum a four pack of musk perfumes off Amazon for about £13. It was so good I nearly kept it. Here's a photo.

@Bee0808 I got Lindor from my kids. Which they ate. SOTD Molecule 03 again. I’m supposed to be using fbs up but it’s not going very well.

Hexinthecity · 15/03/2021 20:42

Sotd Burberry, quote enjoyed it today though I kept getting whiffs of epic from yesterday off my scarf which was lovely, good to know it has staying power after the disappointment of the lack of longevity on all the byredos

Fferny1 · 15/03/2021 20:58

😂@Pears.

Fferny1 · 15/03/2021 20:59

@Hex most of the Amouage's have monster longevity.

QueenPaw · 16/03/2021 07:49

SOTD 4160T goddess of love and perfume (last of the sample)
I like it, but don't love it and it's not full bottle status for me

Hexinthecity · 16/03/2021 09:11

Sotd Mojave’s ghosts. It’s perfect for today, suns out and the air is crisp and fresh

@Fferny1 it’s expensive stuff but you do get bang for your buck I’ll give it that!

Fferny1 · 16/03/2021 10:08

Ffern summer 19 is Sotd - refreshing and incensey and perfect for the lighter spring days. I'm looking forward to the Spring Ffern due in the next few days. Even though I invariably return them, especially the Autumn/Winter ones.
Who's still on the Register?

Fussyeaternightmare · 16/03/2021 10:28

@Fferny1 I didn’t know about it! Just looked it up, sounds like fun, have you had much luck with the scents they send out? Is it not heartbreaking if there’s one you fall in love with but know that it’ll never be made again?
