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

SOTD TF Soleil Blanc, which might have been a poor call as it is thick fog here. Yesterday was better, and Heeley Sel Marin.

I'm in bed unwell dreaming of better days and started thinking about a raw materials session. Is there one? Preferably not one at home, but at a venue with some oud, orris, sandalwood etc and someone to explain it all. Has anyone done something like this? Bonus points if the venue does a Nice Lunch or Cake.

Hello and welcome back mrsr 👋
flora 4160 Tuesdays used to do those but stopped as they were too difficult logistically to run apparently.
Hope you feel better soon x
TMI alert ⚠️ My period started today, I have thrush and then I had to patch my fil up earlier as dh drilled through his finger (accidentally obv).
It's hard to get blood out of carpet.
He's OK. But got to go and have an x Ray on case dh hit the bone.
Sigh... kids fed, painkillers and fluconazole (sp?) on board so I'm off to bed!
Sote molecule 01

I'm new here! I've been following the perfume chat and recommendations on S&B for a couple years but didn't post.

Wanted to share thanks to all the experts on here and the tip off to Bois de Jasmin and I scent you a day blogs. I've had so much pleasure out of learning about good perfume which had never interested me before. You have claimed another victim 😊

I was actually inspired to start a blog of my own about it (unsure of sharing etiquette here!)

SOTD cuir de russie Chanel

MrsRLynde · 01/06/2021 18:21

Bloomin' heck Jen - sounds nasty.

I would've highly recommended the old 4160T workshops - best learning ever - all the materials to play with plus Sarah Mc's commentary and guidance.

Welcome Madam - think we're always up for a perfume blog Smile.

Not sure if I've kept up with name changes? I am Mrs Calendar Grin. Off to TK Maxx to pick up two intriguing cheapies now I've got back in the saddle. Will report back....

MrsRLynde · 01/06/2021 19:26

Oh no. Emojis looking very odd on the mobile site😳. You can tell I am out of practice.

Fferny1 · 01/06/2021 19:57

@Jen I hope you and your father in law are feeling better today🙏.

Its lovely to hear back from new & old contributors. Though I'm still not absolutely sure who everyone is yet.

Sotd is Goutal Eau d Hadrien. I nearly sold my bottle as I really wasn't keen on it last year . Now I can't get enough of it.
Especially the lemon syrupy blast at the beginning

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 01/06/2021 21:39

SOTD MG Lemon. My work is properly sucky just now so a citrus lift was just the ticket.

OP posts:
Jenthefredo · 01/06/2021 21:50

Yes, he's fine thanks 😊
I have my monthly migraine today so have felt pretty rough.
I got my vintage avon moowind and occur! from e bay today...don't think either have ever been sprayed!
Gorgeous and just as I remember them 😍
Sorry to hear things are crazy judy

JourneyToHappiness · 02/06/2021 15:36

Has anyone tried the perfume parlour mojave ghost dupe and can tell me if it smells the same? I love the pp one so wanted to buy the real thing but only if it smells very similar. Tia

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 03/06/2021 11:35

SOTD MMM Untitled - so much green!

Fferny1 · 03/06/2021 21:54

Hermes Pamplemousse Rose is Sotd - Instant refreshment ... but It needs to be topped up every few hours.

Mrs08 · 04/06/2021 08:10

Hi (jen here!)
Fancied a nn change (twirls)
Supposed to be going out with dh today for a belated anniversary treat
No idea where to go or what to do!
Sotd will probably be pp mmm WITL
I've ordered another bottle of 4160 SSOTPE as I ran out.
Hope you are all having a good Bank Holiday week x

FloraMacDonald · 04/06/2021 09:29

The new Perfume Society niche box looks good. I've already got a couple of them or I might have been tempted. If anyone fancies trying Mol 01, it's a 7.5ml sample so probably worth it.

Mrs08 · 04/06/2021 16:10

flora
I got the bloom sandalwood pack today...its probably my favourite so far!
I'm currently wearing Amber gaze by maison sybarite...warm and beautiful 😍

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/06/2021 23:09

SOTD TF Soleil Blanc.

OP posts:
MrsRLynde · 04/06/2021 23:27

SotD L.T Piver A la Reine des Fleurs. An aromatic cologne that predates 4711. Refreshing citrus and herbs.

FloraMacDonald · 05/06/2021 16:17

I accidentally ordered complimentary wrapping on my LDDM and now it's too pretty to open!

Lotsofpots · 06/06/2021 08:40

Hello all. It's been months since I've been on here - hope this lovely lot are all well?

Have filled a basket from the 4160 sale and don't know whether to press go...

MrsRLynde · 06/06/2021 08:55

Hi Pots - you'll find an apology from me a couple of posts down. I am also back from the wilderness this week. Trying to get my s* together a bit following a couple of big life events.

Tell us what exactly is in your basket? If it includes Rome 1963 and The Great Randello, yes, definitely hit the button. Grin

Lotsofpots · 06/06/2021 09:09

Hope you're all ok MrsR - hard time to deal with big of life events. This year has sent my emotional resilience through the floor.

Currently sitting on a basket with fluffy lemon tops, Dirty honey and kiss me quick. And was then tossing up either great randello or Rome 1963!

MrsRLynde · 06/06/2021 09:55

Dirty honey gets a thumbs up from me. Smile Think I am the only person here to be underwhelmed by Fluffy Lemon Tops.

MrsRLynde · 06/06/2021 09:57

Is the Dirty Honey extrait or EdP?

FloraMacDonald · 06/06/2021 14:17

Bother! I've missed the m&s summer beauty offer. It's now showing as full price. Angry

Housewife2010 · 06/06/2021 15:01

Hello. I'm a lurker rather than a poster on this thread. (SOTD Miller Harris Lost in the City). There's a very good Penhaligon's offer on which ends tomorrow. A £204 Portraits scent free with a £75 spend. I ordered Castile and got a free Cousin Flora and three samples. play.penhaligons.com/?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5PGFBhC2ARIsAIFIMNef1JSoYGpGZqrXpZKC0Ez4bR78pksJXQDkp2TfF_-E606Bzp8kxp0aApKNEALw_wcB
