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

@Jen I'm so glad you don't have to have any more injections. I was traumatised at the thought. Hopefully you can relax now, with regular check ups.

Thanks all for asking Re. Mini Fferny.
It's been a very difficult time. Yes, lockdown has been very hard for her, as she's developed mental health issues where there were none before. I'm trying to help solve them, but I think it's going to be an ongoing issue. She's in a really high pressure academic environment too, which doesn't help.

Sotd is Fleur Du Matin again.I'm still as much in love with this as I always was.
But it's now discontinued😭.

Thanks fferny
Sorry to hear about your dd. Its so hard to see them struggling isn't it?

Olympea for me after my shower

Have just linked that some of my fave scents are all salt ones, I seem to really love salt notes
Womanity, clean skin, IA falling into the sea, Fraaagola Saalaaata...

FloraMacDonald · 14/05/2021 08:53

Waft From the Loft is nice enough, but it has that sherbetty scent I associate with all 4160 perfumes. I really should stop buying them.

Jenthefredo · 14/05/2021 12:18

Sotd pp MMM WITL

I know what you mean flora
Hoping that complicated shadows is a winner!

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 15/05/2021 03:24

I was thinking abotu buying Waft from the Loft as well as complicated shadows. Definitely going to get the dsecond for a surprise for myself in later months though!

no scent right now, i feel realyl sick and hot and i cant work out why

QueenPaw · 15/05/2021 08:33

@Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep I really like seven seventeen candles and also the botanical candle company. They're sort of mid range prices. Albion candle company are also good

Jenthefredo · 15/05/2021 09:13

I was awake at 4am one due to little visitor claiming to be cold 🥶 😑
Hope you managed some sleep x

SOTD Stella. WHEN is the weather going to get better?

queen I love the original NRFH and it's one of the rare perfumes I have always replaced when I run out - have you tried that one? It is musky but not skanky. It reminds me a bit of MMM Lazy Sunday Morning (which I also own.)

arrrrr what does PP stand for (as in Nectarine and Apple Blossom pp)??

MissBattleaxe · 18/05/2021 11:48

Happy anniversary @Jenthefredo! I've just had my Pick n Mix samples from Feel Unique and I particularly love Versace For Her Dylan Turquoise and Floral Street Neon Rose, although the latter smells more Peony than rose, and is none the less beautiful for it.

Jenthefredo · 18/05/2021 13:38

Thank you missb
PP = perfume parlour dupe
Sotd EL modern muse nuit - a pleasant vanilla patchouli scent that has become my go to for days when I've got errands to run! 🙃

Jenthefredo · 18/05/2021 13:40

I love NRFH too judy
And the poudree version
I've got both molecule 01 and now - I'm anosmic to 03 and 04 makes me smell like pencil shavings! 😬

SOTD is 4160 Tuesdays sample of rhubarb and Custard I took with me for a weekend in the campervan to try and disguise I've been showering less. Not sure if it's worked.

I quite like it and am delighted the samples have come into their own as I can travel again! Smile

Hexinthecity · 18/05/2021 21:38

Noooooo!!!! Help!! Dh asked me what perfume I wanted for my birthday and I asked him for santal 33, the silly bigger just ordered it off Amazon ConfusedConfusedConfused it’s going to be a fake isn’t it?? I could cry, he said it was 60 quid cheaper still over 200 pounds, fuck. I only asked for the 15ml but he wanted to get me a full bottle, can anyone tell me it’ll be ok?? I could cry!

MissBattleaxe · 18/05/2021 23:43

It might not be a fake Hex. Amazon is pretty strict about these things and I've always had genuine perfumes from there. Sometimes the actual brand site is the most expensive.

Hexinthecity · 19/05/2021 00:21

Thanks @MissBattleaxe, I’ve had a shitty day and it was just the last straw. I’ve emailed le labonto ask if the third party is a genuine stockist.. it doesn’t look good, their reviews aren’t great. If le labonsay it looks Fogeys then I’ll just ask him to return it for a refund when it arrives and hopefully we’ll get the money back

MissBattleaxe · 19/05/2021 08:21

Fingers crossed Hex!
