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.

Wrt pp: spray for me. I find the plastic roll on ball hurts my skin! sensitive flower that I am 😀
Feel horrid today. I think it's the weather.
Sotd avon lbd weekend again.
4160 have got a 3 for 2 on again til 31st August...I'm tempted!

Thanks, I'll give the pp spray a try. I've been wearing Neroli Portofino for the last couple of days and whilst I love it, it just doesn't last on my skin AT ALL. The pp dupe seems to have better longevity.

SOTD Chanel 19.

SOTN is my new Mugler Cologne - Fly Away. it smells like citrus, cannabis and sex!! its refreshing though, and it lasts surprisingly well for cologne! another successful blind buy

SOTD NRFH.

Sotn last night was TF noir eextreme sent to me ages ago by a kind perfumista 💜

Sotd today will probably be next eau nude as its gone a bit grey here (thank god!)

SOTD Floral Street Chypre Sublime (that might not be the right name but I am too lazy to check!) which is SO similar to FM POAL.

I have my eye on 30ml of MMM Whispers in the Library for payday. I gave a 15% off code I ca use on it.

SOTD Eau Sauvage edp. Very herbal and perfect as I've had a headache all day.

SOTE Shalimar. Am looking for a new autumn/winter scent so am trying out my current collection for inspiration. Cosy and comforting, but doesn't seem to last long or project much on me, which is sad as it's a favourite. I smell so many different things at once with this one, yummy vanilla, mothballs, incense, cake, powder, spices, smoke, fur. It reminds of the smell of India. Can't wait to wear this, bring on autumn!

Have done a bad thing...

Me too!!! :)
Do tell....

Sotd 4160 SSOTPE

Gorgeous in the muggy weather

Wonder if it's the same bad thing Mrs08?

Mine involves a blind buy and TK Maxx - what about yours?

No...
The 4160 3 for 2 sale...

Oooh! Spill the beans Mrs08 .

I succumbed to Miller Harris Craft and Glamour. (Rose, plum, wood and labdanum - couldn't resist). Wonder if it will be like Gres' Cabaret?

Ooh! Love TK Maxx.

Also love blind buys (not sure if that's sensible really). I get a sort of thrill of excitement wondering if I've made a wise decision.

I went for eau my soul, another kiss by the fireside and doe in the snow :)

I've only ever had samples of the above so excited to get fbs

Nice selection. You've got me wondering if I've got a Does in the Snow sample hidden away somewhere. Quite fancy an icy peach chypre tonight .

I thought you'd be loaded up with AKbtF - but perhaps I'm just confusing it with MMM By the Fireplace?

*Doe - duh!

I definitely have loads of mmm btf :)

This is a different one from 4160 Tuesdays. It's more of a fougere imo.

SOTD Diptyque Geranium Odorato.

You are making me think of all the 'fires' Mrs08 - Mary Greenwell's Ruth Mastenbroek's Firedance, Rouge Bunny Rouge's Embers, and various Beaufort's with smoke and cannon fire!

Can I thank whoever recommended Hermes’ Pamplemousse Rose here. I am lucky enough to work near a Hermes shop I have never entered and on friday I took the plunge, loved the scent and bought there and then. They popped 10 samples in the bag while I was paying too so I’ve lots more to try.

Like a lot of citrus perfumes the staying power is not great but is such a fresh and juicy blitz it is a pleasure to respray. Just the uplifting scent I need for a stressful time (move back to the UK this week but still no home 8 months after starting reposession proceedings)

You are making me excited for the TK maxx bling buy thrill of moving back to the UK. If someone near me does Avon this could be dangerous..

It was me @1frenchfoodie.
Pamplemousse Rose is stunning isn't it?
Especially in hot weather. I've even been spraying myself copiously to cool down on these hot nights.
I am trying to resist any further Tk Maxx buys and sitting on my hands as iI've just bought Nahema and a secondhand bottle of Atelier Cologne Mistral Patchouli

SOTD Shalimar. This is very comforting, but the longevity and sillage is quite frankly rubbish. Worse than an edt, even. Wish I could find something similar, but better performing.

It has been absolutely chucking it down here today, stormy and wild, which is exciting to watch, but I'm glad I'm not out in it.

Am very excited to have found the pick and mix samples from Feelunique. You get to pick five for free from a range of skincare and fragrances, and just pay postage. One of my five is Maison Margiela By The Fireplace, which I've heard so many good things about and can't wait to try.
