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

SOTD gold sugar

Mizensir Eau de Gingembre. Fantastic sharp Ginger from a well known perfumer. But it doesn't have great staying power.

SOTD Zara a sweet pastry in Paris
Lemon gourmand for my birthday Grin

Calmasasleepycat · 23/03/2021 11:58

Happy birthday QueenPaw! 💐 I like the sound of that Zara perfume.

My SOTD is Zoologist Elephant. This has a very green opening, the elephants squashing grass and flowers underfoot and is then a musky perfumed sandalwood, like cuddling a sun-warmed elephant. There are other notes in there apparently, including coconut and cocoa, and I keep trying to catch a hint of those but haven’t succeeded yet. 😊

QueenPaw · 23/03/2021 12:09

It's very lovely, like a lemon tart with whipped cream
I've showered now so swapping it out for Kyse Marsmallow

Jenthefredo · 23/03/2021 15:48

Sotd EL modern muse nuit

SOTD PP MM whispers in the library

Wasn’t overly taken with it when it first arrived. But sprayed it on last night after my bath and again this morning and it’s growing on me. Surprising as vanilla-ey fragrances aren’t normally my thing but i the spirit of branching out, I thought it was worth a try

Fferny1 · 24/03/2021 11:06

Sotd is MB Patchouli Clouds. Not really spring like I know, but it's still chilly here.

Jenthefredo · 24/03/2021 12:55

Sotd pp BTF

JofraArchersFastestBall · 24/03/2021 14:36

The Miller Harris 'Hidden...' is very nice. I'd say it's easy to wear, rather than wildly interesting - but that's ok for me. It's lovely and sharp to start with and then dies down to a woody floral (honeysuckle maybe?) I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it - it's perfect for spring.

PearsMorgan · 24/03/2021 18:01

@JofraArchersFastestBall excellent blind buy!

SOTD beyond rose + fat electrician. An interesting combination

riotlady · 24/03/2021 18:06

Happy late birthday @QueenPaw! Hope you had a great day.

SOTD Papillon Tobacco Rose, which is divine albeit not very tobacco-y at all.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 24/03/2021 23:23

SOTD Diptyque Geranium. I really love this ❤️

SOTD Kyse marshmallow again. My DP is obsessed with marshmallow/vanilla smells and he's coming over later Grin

SOTD MMM Untitled. It's too cold for this, actually, and I feel like it was the wrong choice for the weather!

I took inspiration from your choice yesterday @Riotlady and it's Tobacco Rose today. I always forget about this one, but it's just perfect for this time of year.

It’s so lovely, isn’t it? Perfect for spring
