Spring forward - the scarves of a thousand scents may not have been worn much, but the lovely, friendly perfumistas are hoping for better days. It’s thread 29.

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

Hi @Fussyeaters.
There usually some extra bottles available if you want some more. I ordered a second bottle of the Summer 19 a few months ago as it has been my all time favourite. Other than that I've kept last Springs bottle & an Autumn one & returned the rest. I love Basil, so I'm intrigued and looking forward to this Springs reiteration. I think the anticipation is the most fun part of being on the register.

@Fferny1 sorry that was me ^ name change fail if anyone has any advice on fussy eaters feel free to dive in on my thread about my DD! I never can get the hang of bloody name changes

Totally get the anticipation being a huge part of the appeal, it must be like 4 mini christmases a year!

SOTD Or Du Serail... I don’t care how sunny it is outside, you can prise my vanillas and incenses out of my cold dead hands!

Seriously though, I should probably try and find a summery scent that I like xD

Amen sister!! 😄👍
I wear a lot of Avon lbd and its flankers in the summer.
Also 4160 ESSOTPE and fluffy lemon top.
Also next eau nude

Sotd pp mmm WITL

I've just got a travel size of Clean Reserve Sueded Oud too, I love it so much I think I need to smell the others... Hope I'm allowed to do that in Space NK soon!

@Fferny1 I’m still on the register. Have only kept 2/5 and will prob dereg even if this one is nice as I feel bad sending so many back. v disappointed in the autumn 20 one which should have been amazing if it actually smelled of any of the ingredients, but smelled of nothing.

I've been listening to a podcast about witches (as you do) and one of the creators of Damn Rebel Witches was on. It sounded amazing; shame I didn't like it.

I think I have a sample of damn rebel witches somewhere.. need to sniff it!

SOTD first outing for MMM Untitled this year. So green!

SOTD glossier you. One of my best ever blind purchases. I find it really comforting and it just smells like "me"

Sounds lovely @Queenpaws.
Sotd is Nerolia Bianco - tart & refreshing, for a definitely spring like feel to the weather today.
@Pears I think I've returned as many Ffern's as you. I will carry on as long as they honour the full returns scheme. The Perfume also seem to sell well on eBay, if you get stuck with a bottle. I still haven't found an Autumn/Winter Perfume from Ffern yet I love though.
However i'm hoping at some stage they will make a Tomato leaf 🍃 one.

Sotd white queen curtesy off @Calmasasleepycat, it’s stronger than I was expecting! Even dh noticed it and he never comments, not sure if it’s love but I do like it a lot, it instantly reminds me of my aunts house, smells exactly like it infact. we used to visit her in the states when I was younger and to this day the Christmas parcels she sends us smell the same. Not sure what note it is, I’m not god enough at identifying individual ingredients, but think it might be frankincense.

I’m pleased you like it, Fussy. I always enjoy it and think of it as an edible pudding incense. But it’s not one of my absolute favourites from 4160Tuesdays. These are still Inevitable Crimes of Passion, Shazam!, The Dark Heart of Old Havana and Le Jardin de Monsieur McGregor. In the next group, a constantly shifting list (!), are Freeway, Rome 1963, Paris 1948, New York ‘55, Ealing Green, Oriane, Flora Psychedelica, Silk, Lace & Chocolate, Sleep Knot and Eat Flowers.

My SOTD was Perfume Parlour’s Florence Spite, which has the same notes as Gucci Envy (now discontinued). I have no idea if it is a good copy as I’ve never smelled the original, but I liked it a lot.😊

Judy I adore MMM Untitled! I saw skylarks this morning for the first time this year, so it definitely feels springlike and suitable weather for Untitled.

@Calmasasleepycat I had another name change fail sorry, don’t know why I bother to be honest 😂 I generally try to keep anything related to the kids separate from other stuff, but spend half my time having to link different usernames together because I invariably cock it up! Has your baccarat arrived yet?

SOTN is Orange Aoud by Montale. its big, spicy and leathery and in the very first spray theres almost a lipstick hint to it. reminds me of old fashioned driving gloves, well worn in, with the sun on them in a warm car in summer

SOTD Vivienne Westwood cheeky Alice
Considering I don't like florals, I REALLY like this
Only have a sample but it is FB worthy!

Hex don’t worry, I knew it was you! The Baccarat hasn’t arrived yet, but don’t worry, the post is often a bit slow nowadays. I’ll let you know when it arrives 😊

My SOTD is Chloe Narcisse. I have a small bottle of this which will last me a lifetime. It is strong and a bit synthetic, so only a tiny spray required, but has a glorious daffodil smell. It is one of few perfumes where I have been complimented.

SOTD Miss Dior Originale. I love this so much and need to give it a better position on my shelf so I wear it more often.

*calm" Chloe Narcisse isn't my cup of tea, but seeing your post made me immediately think of my friend who wore this a lot when we were at uni together.

Oops, bold fail there, sorry.

I finished my 13ml of pp mmm WITL today so might have to get some more.
I'm going to have a bath and pop on some 4160 ESSOTPE

Hex, the Baccarat arrived today, via a very late post! Thank you, it is much appreciated. 😊

Judy I love how perfumes can bring back memories. 4160Tuesdays Maxed Out is not for the faint hearted but the tiniest dab of it reminds me of my dad and is very comforting. I keep it in my bedside drawer.

Well, I DABT - I ordered the PS niche box :)
No idea re scent today. I'm still in pj's trying to wake the 17 year old who is still in his pit.

SOTD 4160T sex goddess

@Fferny1 my spring arrived! Lovely but very similar to spring 20 which I’m still getting through, so back it goes. There’s something a bit more robust in there and bitter orange but not different enough to be fb worthy.
