The lovely friendly perfumistas thread 30: summer has arrived (allegedly) and we all smell incredible 😉

[Mrs08]

Hi all,
Couldn't see a new thread?
Hope this one is OK!

Sorting out the bathroom ready for tomorrow 😬

SOTD YSL Libre.

I've gone for the tester size January Joy Box. Though I understand it arrives well before Christmas, how will I resist?!

SOTD Autumn Vibes. Yup I got a sample of this too! Ended up spending enough on Feel Unique to qualify for the GWP as well. Whoops!

Wondering how long it will last on me, as initially I love it!

I'd be interested to see how long it lasts on you @razorstormunicorn

I'm going to get dh to hide my JJB otherwise I'll open it!

I will NOT be getting a beauty advent calendar this year...nor a perfume society one.
I've never had a "good one" and I need to stop buying the damn things!

Is anyone here a member of the Perfume Society? I’m thinking of joining but getting a 404 on the sign up page. Is it still a thing? perfumesociety.org/product/become-a-vip-club-member/

Afaik it's still live

SOTD: Shalimar, Guerlain - to celebrate the apparent return of Autumn. 🍂

SOTD jil sander sun. Still not sure if I actually like this

Can anyone advise me please? I love Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay but am fed up of it wearing off so quickly. I’m looking for an alternative which has better staying power: slightly fruity and spicy but not too overbearing. Budget is around £60. Thank you!

Have you tired the perfe Parlour dupe?
They are oil based so last well
Sadly, Jo malone perfumes are infamous for being weak

No I haven’t, will check out. Thank you!

Reporting in a bit late but Autumn Vibes lasted ok on me. I sprayed before work 9am and could still smell it in the car at 2pm when I drove across town.

I don't find many at all last until evening, so I am happy enough with that. I loved it, but need to finish some previous purchases first really!

Hello everyone! Hoper you're all well.

@SummerWhy I'm a VIP member of The Perfume Society and I don't know that 404 message is coming up. You do get quite good perks. There are discounts off all the Perf Soc Discovery Boxes and you get the magazine. In normal times you get invitations to events too.

@ADesignForLife Have you tried Shay and Blue London? They are all eau de parfum strength. You might like Blueberry Musk or Blackberry Woods. They're around £55 a bottle and in my experience have good staying power.

My autumn perfumes are Le Jardin Retrouve Cuir de Russie, Dana Tabu and First by Van Cleef and Arpels.

@ADesignForLife and they do samples. You can choose 5 for £20. www.shayandblue.com/products/sample-set

@MissBattleaxe Ooh thank you for the recommendation - will get browsing the samples!

@ADesignForLife fab! Let me know if you find a new favourite. I love matchmaking.
