SOTD is MMM Jazz Club. It's a bit too male for me I think but will give it another few tries.

NotMyCat · 03/11/2021 15:22

SOTD glossier you

Opal8 · 03/11/2021 15:32

I'm planning my 4160 hot pink Friday purchases already 🤣🤣🤣
I like that sound of that one @NotMyCat

NotMyCat · 03/11/2021 16:02

Glossier you is one of my "me" scents
It just smells like me whenever I wear it, AG cloud is the other

@Lalalablahblahblah

What are you thinking of going for Opal? I'm looking for inspiration. I want Court of ravens, wash me in the water, captured by candlelight and rhubarb and custard but that's too many!! Court of ravens and rhubarb and custard are the more expensive so I guess it makes sense to drop one of those. Decisions, decisions!
I'm thinking of CbyC for the room fragrance

I'm going for MITOG as my freebie as that's quite £££
Also wash me in the water and Hammersmith - at the moment anyway!

Opal8 · 03/11/2021 16:58

Get CbyC...its amazing 💜

Opal8 · 03/11/2021 17:01

Do any of you use Bath and body works stuff?

Next sell them atm and I've got some lovely snellong handcream - snowflakes and cashmere. Lovely!

I do! I love in the stars which is similar to AG cloud. Have a few foaming hand washes too and candles. Candle wise, laundry day and mahogany teakwood extreme are my faves
Opal8 · 03/11/2021 17:04

I may have get a few more! :)

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/11/2021 00:19

SOTD Diptyque Geranium Odorata.

Deathraystare · 04/11/2021 17:29

@Opal8

And what does Hammersmith smell like? Cos in real life it is chicken shops and waccy baccy!

Opal8 · 04/11/2021 17:38

It's the scent of tea and biscuits :)
I've never been to Hammersmith so can't voucher for how it smells...
It's 1 of 4 frags Sarah McCartney made when they moved premises
It's rather nice 😌

madamceladon · 04/11/2021 19:03

I really want an incense fragrance!
I tried a sample of Aesop Hwyl today which had a nice churchy incense note.

What are people's favourites?

Opal8 · 04/11/2021 19:09

4160 waft from the loft
Tauer incense extreme
Jovoy liturgies des heures

Got my chantilly today
It's lovely
Very 1950s chypre reminiscent of Coty Laimant, avon unforgettable and avon topaze

madamceladon · 04/11/2021 21:45

Thanks @Opal8 I'll try those

madamceladon · 04/11/2021 21:48

@Lalalablahblahblah
I want to try the comme des garçons incense series, doesn't seem widely available.

The black pebble is Donna karan black cashmere which. I've had and enjoyed 😊I felt it was a bit more about the clove note and I think I probably am looking for a full on church vibe. Thanks 😊

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/11/2021 21:56

Tauer Cardinal is very churchy. I had a full bottle but sold it because I just didn’t reach for it. I think it was slightly too bitter for me.

SOTD YSL Libre. Having a horrible night with idiots setting off fireworks and my poor cat is so distressed. DP is out so it’s just me, and I hate seeing her upset like this. Fun weekend ahead.

Opal8 · 05/11/2021 12:41

Not familiar with that one @Judystilldreamsofhorses
I know Heeley cardinal...
Sotd FS ylang-ylang espresso
It's OK. Glad I didn't get a FB

Opal8 · 05/11/2021 14:46

Ugh
Nope
It's a scrubber for me...
It'll be going to mum!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/11/2021 16:01

Sorry, I meant Heeley Cardinal. It was late!

SOTD NRFH. Thank goodness it’s Friday.

Opal8 · 06/11/2021 13:23

Sotd dior dune
Hmm
It's OK
On this should be like catnip to me 🤔

madamceladon · 06/11/2021 16:31

I had a really strong reaction to dune, made me feel nauseous
