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

@QueenPaw ill have it in the post by the end of the week, the bottle is almost full,t he only thing is the box is a bit scratched where my pup decided to cart it about, i hope thats not too offputting!!

QueenPaw · 04/05/2021 00:29

Definitely not! It's the scent that counts (and my cat likes to admire my perfume samples and hide them under the sofa) ConfusedGrin

JofraArchersFastestBall · 04/05/2021 08:20

Ohhh, (just dipping my toe into the thread) has anyone tried the Zara rhubarb perfume mentioned by @Fferny1? It sounds excellent, and not dissimilar to the 4160 rhubarb and citrus, which I love... very tempted to buy it.

Fferny1 · 04/05/2021 09:54

Sotd is Romilly Wilde Idle. I can mainly smell a green Jasmine in this & some woodiness. Started off with a really strongly scented Jasmine Body wash from Tk Maxx this morning and thought I'd follow the theme. Though I'm absolutely shattered due to being awake most of the night.

QueenPaw · 04/05/2021 10:54

@Fferny1 I couldn't sleep either! My alarm went off and I was AngrySadSadAngry

MissBattleaxe · 04/05/2021 16:48

@Fferny1I love Romilly Wilde Idle. It was made by Marina Barcenilla. God knows where my sample is now.

Not strictly perfume related but the Asda Rose Oud candle and room spray is fantastic. My house smells a lot nicer.

I was just sent some samples by a house I hadn't heard of called Neadea. There's a perfume in it called Sogna and I have absolutely fallen for it. It's a kind of iris musk and makes me feel properly grown up and sophisticated, which I am not.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/05/2021 23:17

SOTD Heeley Sel Marin, and then - I went out for tea! Quite the momentous event, calling for FM POAL.

Hello, jofra! I haven’t tried any of the Zara perfumes, but some of them sound really lovely, and a very good price point too.

Another night of no sleep Hmm
SOTD cheeky Alice

Fferny1 · 05/05/2021 10:22

Oh no @Queenpaw.
Insomnia is the worst thing. I slept like a log, apart from the bloody asthma attack in the middle of the night. Must have been due to the cold air coming in.
It's now Hail stoning madly here.
What is this weather?

 I've just discovered that Vero Profumo perfumes are available in Switzerland again. But they won't ship to the UK 😭. 

Sotd is the glorious Mito.

Jenthefredo · 05/05/2021 14:05

No reply here either:(

sleep not reply
Stupid fat fingers

FloraMacDonald · 06/05/2021 10:01

No sleep here either. Also fat fingers - I dropped an egg on the kitchen floor yesterday!
My Bloom Sample pack arrived - I wish they did a 2 ml option. 1ml isn't really enough to decide. I tried Swedoft Rasputin yesterday which is a lovely incensey fragrance - delicious but a bit OTT for the school run. Grin

Fferny1 · 06/05/2021 11:05

We should rename this thread 'Insomniacs Reunited' 😁
Idle is Sotd again. Trying to resist buying more perfume ...

Jenthefredo · 06/05/2021 20:09

Another thing for the perfumista Venn diagram!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 06/05/2021 22:37

SOTD Byredo Gypsy Water. Did a vote in a hailstorm - this weather can do one!

SOTN santal 33 - I've only just this evening come out of a migraine fug thats lasted for days so this is the first time all week that I've even wanted to put on any perfume. I've missed it! hope all the insomniacs get some rest tonight - if not I'll be up all night with you! only respite form the migraine was to go to sleep so I've a pile of work to catch up on now, roll on the wee hours!

Jenthefredo · 08/05/2021 08:24

Another sleep free night here

Fferny1 · 08/05/2021 09:04

Sotd is California Reverie by Van Cleef & Arpels. This is one of my special perfumes, so special I don't want to use it up. It's very light, so last time I got through a bottle in 3 months due to copious spraying. Still using the Jasmine body wash so I've been doing a Jasmine perfume week .

Commiserations to the Insomniacs.
Does Yoga help?
It helped me last night ( that n 🍷).
Not sure what worked best to be honest.

Jenthefredo · 08/05/2021 09:07

Ds2 came in to me (nightmare)
And I've got a head cold (caught from ds2!)
And general peri menopausal bullshit

Jenthefredo · 08/05/2021 17:40

Ugh
Feel shocking

Hexinthecity · 08/05/2021 20:24

@Jenthefredo Gin that sounds shit, hope you get some rest tonight

Jenthefredo · 09/05/2021 20:16

Thank you
Sadly not
Feel properly rough but hey ho
Sotd molecule 02 after my shower
I think I might have brain fever as I started painting the hall, stairs and landing yesterday
Why?
Why do I do these things!?
Ugh
The perfume society are doing seasonal boxes - I might get the autumn and winter ones 🤔
The pp dior oud rosewood is rather nice - I might get a spray of it

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 09/05/2021 22:16

SOTD Heeley Sel Marin. Sorry to hear of poorly and sleepless perfumistas 💐
