SOTD clean reserve skin

I'm definitely into the skin scents, this is my fave after glossier

SOTD Miller Harris Dance Amongst the Lace -light fresh citrus/herbal. I love their Forage range. My Penhaligons order from last weekend has just been dispatched.

I went to a beautiful little independent perfume shop in Edinburgh today called Jorum, tried some lovely Smokey and distinctive perfumes. think I might get the trial kit they have.

Memo English Tweed is Sotd.
It's absolutely beautiful and so expensive in a bottle, but I bought a good value decant. Notes are Bergamot, Ginger & Cardamom.
Yes Pears, i'm also thinking about cancelling the Ffern...

SOTD is 4160 Tuesdays Amberama
Treated myself to a set of samples and they kindly threw in a couple of extras, was all beautifully wrapped too! So far everything has been a like a but not a love, although I still have Fluffy Lemon Top (which seems to be a favourite around here) and a couple of others still to try.

SOTD Chanel 19 Poudre.

Tell us about the rest of the MH Forage range, Housewife? They turn up in TK Maxx from time to time and I am always curious.

Just spotted the Samsung ecobubble laundry scent (by Sarah McCartney) online and snapped it up for £7 I love a clean laundry smell

Good spot @PawsQueen

SOTD escentric 03. I bought it - and have worn it - thinking it was molecule 03, until I tried actual mol 03 and was blown away by wood. Perfect for the weather and a change from smokiness

@Housewife2010 I love the forage range. I've got Wander through The Parks which smells very green and grassy. I also like Lost In The City with its touch of rhubarb.

SOTD 4160 Tuesdays WIDOMH for the first time this year. Yesterday was MG Lemon.

SOTD kyse vanilla bonbon or whatever it's actual name is! Vanilla skin scent

Sotd 4160 SSOTPE parfum. Wearing this a lot ATM.

Horrid day dealing with a complaint in one of my voluntary roles. So time consuming too.

Also, been working through my feelings regarding mils bigotry and nastiness regarding me being of Irish Catholic extraction.

You'd think on my sons 18th she could tone it down but...no 🤬

I think I'm done. 25 years of her shit and I'm done.

Just hard on dh as he'll have to explain why she's no longer welcome here.

Ugh.

SOTD Bella Freud Close to my Heart.

Hope you are okay, flora, and you too mrs08 - that sounds like A Lot.

Sorry to hear that Mrs. My tolerance to put up with bullshit has plummeted. I've already called out some poor behaviour this morning.

Thanks flora

Yeah, mine too. Sadly, it'll cause a major upset but I've spent 25 years not reacting/ignoring and it's not stopped. It's like the scales have just fallen from my eyes really. I'm just some Irish Catholic to her. (I'm half Irish and haven't set foot in church since I was 16...)

Let's be honest, it'll only get worse as she gets even older.

I'll be the pariah for not letting it go this time. She's not welcome here.

Sigh.

How are you flora?

It's a bit limbo land ATM as dh won't be seeing her til tomorrow.

It'll be the usual...
"Can't take a joke"
"She's too sensitive"
"I didn't mean it like that"
Then crocodile tears

And - annoyingly - the tears usually work on fil, dh and bil

Sigh

Thing is - and is indicative of her modus operandi - she actually tried to deflect her rather embarrassing comments back onto me!

I must have made a "wtf" face and she yelled "yes thank you mrs08"!

??????

All rather sad really
