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.

Thanks @QueenPaw the amount I seem to spend there these days 2% helps!

Sotd is Cristalle... for the sun. Though it was chilly this morning.

@NewMexico lol @ pink mingers. I haven’t heard that term but instinctively know what it means.

SOTD molecule 01

No SOTD today but I have a seven seventeen candle burning "be still" which is glowing ember scented. Really lovely
Shoving myself in a bath in a bit with the neom magnesium butter as I've had 3hrs sleep in two days damn insomnia

SOTD Chanel 19 Poudre.

Sotd 4160 SSOTPE

SOTD Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt from a very small solid perfume I thought was a travel size but is actually refill!

It's gorgeous. I really love it. Quite subtle but really fresh.

Not sure how to choose between this and beach walk for my next purchase. I think I might go for Beach Walk and then add the Jo Malone fragrance to my wish list just in case people want to buy me lovely things for my 40th next year! I can see there are hand washes and travel sizes as well as expensive 100ml bottles.

SOTD Karen Timpson Envide

@Calmasasleepycat delighted you like it and its gone to a home where it'll get appreciated

lol at pink mingers, instantly relatable term!

Sotd tarts knicker drawer, just because Im working form home and fancied it!

does anyone have any great recommendations for where to buy a couple f gorgeous candles? Ive a friend who's just moved into her new home after a horrendous split and is dealing with a hell of a lot of fallout. I'd love to get her some really beautiful scented candles to treat herself to and make the new place smell amazing. Thought you lot would be the best people to ask!!

@queenpaw as always a font of fragrant information and inspiration! thank you

SOTD Comme des Garçons x Monocle ‘Sugi’, fantastic fresh but ripe lemon/ cypress.

Have been a bit perfume uninspired (and work overwhelmed) of late but bought a set of all 9 Maison Crivelli scents this morning. Does anyone here know them? It was a random FB pop-up but Fragrantica notes had me intrigued enough to buy - plus I get a discount to the value of the sample set off any future purchase.

SOTD MMM BTF. No heatwave here so needed something cosy!

SOTD glossier you. Didn't sleep at all last night and got about 2hrs the rest of the week
Comfort much needed and insomnia help

SOTD MM Jazz Club, I quite like this one but not as much as Beach Walk which is good really, I can't justify buying full bottles of the whole sample set!

Sorry you're not sleeping very well @Queenpaw. Have you tried Nytol and having a big bath with Lavender oil?

I swear by This Works Deep Sleep Spray on my pillow at night. Prior to this calming down with a book on the Kindle app with the night shade on. Some nighttime herbal tea ( though it tastes a bit like furniture polish!)

Failing that Meditation or Yoga positions to help you sleep ?

Sotd is Vintage Ysl Paris.
And yesterday was Ffern Spring 21. Perfect in the warm sun but too fresh for today.

@Fferny1 I've tried everything from CBD to magnesium to baths
GP has just prescribed zopiclone

That sounds better than any of my suggestions @Queenpaws 😄👍.

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle.

Have you tried cetirizine (off the shelf anti-histamine) @QueenPaw - knocks me for six to the extent I have to take it at bed time or I’m likely to fall asleep in the office.

SOTD yesterday DS&Durga Cowboy Grass, hot prarie meadows where dry scrubby herbs are crushed underfoot - but with a resinous tang that seems to be present in many of their scents and that I’m falling out of love with.

@1frenchfoodie you're going to laugh... I'm actually on an off label dose of that and have been for 20 years... I take 4 a day

4, wow, I’d be a zombie. QueenPaw I did think of adding a disclaimer that I’m a big auld lightweight...

SOTD Monocle Hinoki, bright and breezy cyprus. Not up to Sugi in the same Comme des Garçons collaboration but still nice and a lot more long lasting.

At one point I was on diazapam, morphine, codeine, the 4 antihistamines, naproxen, paracetamol.. and still working
I had emergency spinal surgery hence the painkillers while I was waiting!

SOTD glossier you again

Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind me popping in. SOTD today is Jovoy Gardez Moi. It's only a sample but it truly is a splendid gardenia, worthy of a wedding day. I wish it was cheaper!

@riotlady Karent Timson Envide is a great choice. Have you tried her fragrance called Hera? It's possibly the best orange blossom I've ever tried. Absolutely gorgeous and under £40 a bottle
