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.

Sorry to hear about the jab side effects!
I feel shocking today but just cycle related nausea I think

SOTD vivienne westwood cheeky alice sample again. Got a couple of sprays left!

@floramacdonald oooh thanks! That's very kind of you. I'm working my way through my samples, and will have some to pass on soon I think.

SOTD 4160 Freeway. I quite like this, but it's another very subtle one. It's my favourite of the latest set so far, but a few more to try. It really does smell a bit of a city road trip!

@missbattleaxe Thanks for your POAL advice, and sorry for the late response. Good call re Floral Street. I think I'm going to try their discovery box, and the chypre one sounds great. I think you're right about Lady Vengeance too.

Btw, I love your blog! I bought Yardley Jade after reading your review because I miss my Cristalle and can't justify splashing the cash right now! It's gorgeous ❤️

@Sendmetobarbados that's made my day! I'm so glad my blog helped you. I'm a big fan of not splashing unless you absolutely have to. Jade is dead ringer for Cristalle, but be careful to buy it when you see it as it's getting scarce.

@Jenthefredo I'm so thrilled you bought LBD weekend after reading my blog! I always feel flattered to death when that happens. I just received some more Avon perfumes in the post so keep an eye out for reviews. I did this one today. bit.ly/ISavonbee

SOTD balenciaga l'essence. Woody violety and sexy. But now it's discontinued :(

Got two samples to try today, just sprayed the replica and wow

queen
💜💜💜💜
Mmm replica BTF is one if my all time faves 😍

The sample of AG cloud arrived...
Very pleasant and its my sotd
Debating an fb 🤔

@Jenthefredo I think BTF will be a FB for me (well, a 30ml or a perfume parlour dupe!!)
The sol is.. nice but I want to try & other stories who apparently have a dupe as I don't feel the price is justified

The PP dupe is almost indistinguishable from the original...honestly!

I will give that a go then!
This is the one I want to try https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/And-Other-Stories/Perle-de-Coco-64181.html

Just read your blog post above missb^
Brilliant as always! Oh, how I long for Avon night musk and odyssey to come back to the UK 🙏
I wore might musk for years indeed I wore it on my wedding day 22 years ago 💜
I struggle with honey scents- too sweet for me but I did think on seeing the notes that Marc jacobs daisy fans might like it.
I like AG cloud!!! I'm debating an fb 😅

The link doesn't seem to work queen

@Jenthefredo oooh I just ordered a sample of Cloud, I’ve heard good things.

SOTD is Black Swan Princess again. I wish they’d called it something else because it’s lovely but I feel mildly embarrassed wearing a scent with princess in the name!

I did a little eBay sample shopping earlier so aside from Cloud, I also have Ambre Sultan, Violet Ida and Oud Satin Mood on the way.

@MissBattleaxe I monday morning treated myself to a bottle of decadence in case it is discontinued, thanks for the warning!

@riotlady I was bored last night so checked Fragrantica for the notes on a few of the samples you ordered, our satin mood sounds right up my street, please update us on it when it arrives as I may have to follow suit and order a sample too!

@Hexinthecity it came today and it’s lovely! It’s warm and honeyed but not as heavy as I thought it might be from some of the descriptions- the rose is quite subtle but definitely there. I like it a lot.

judy perfume posted. I'm not keen on jazz club but thanks x
I was in debenhams earlier today and it was really sad seeing all the perfume and makeup counters gone :(
Lots of shops have closed since I was last in town 7 months ago :(
Oh well, mum had a spending spree so she's doing her bit :)
Sotd AG cloud

Ive been wearing a Superdrug Bespoke London Woman one Mandarin Praline and White Flowers., Its quite nice. They were buy one get one free last month so i also bought the Salted Caramel and Water Lillies one but i havent opened that one yet so no idea what it smells like. No testers so its a blind buy.

Sorry I've been AWOL. I've lost my perfume mojo.

I'll try to get back into it.

Flora hope all ok. Lots of us are trying to find spring scents if that helps?

I wore 4160 Fluffy Lemon Tops which I know a few others like. I'm now a fan too! Not sure I'd get a big bottle, but if I were to get a triple of 3 X 15mls this would be one.

SOTD today is 4160 Take Me To The River, another new sample and I really love it, so fresh!

Hello flora nice to see you x

I'm in AG cloud again as I'm nearing the end of the sample

Me too @Flora.
Sometimes it's nice not to have to think about perfume when life gets complicated.
I've just been wearing Ffern summer 19 on repeat. Today is Ffern Spring 21 - a variation on a theme 😊

I lost you all there! SOTD is Byredo Bibliotheque. Yesterday was Heeley Sel Marin which I think killed off the sunshine, it is so cold and wet here today.

jen thanks so much for posting. I am trying to think what I have a decent amount of that I can send you in return - a lot of my full bottles are really not very full at the moment. Any interest in M&G Dark Rum, or MH LDR?
