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!

Shazam! Ordered 👏 😀

😊

Sotd 4160 Shazam!

I was in les senteurs yesterday, what an absolute joy. Independent shops with passionate staff are a delight.

Tried ex idolo perfume house, they had a lovely leather. Also eau sacre by heeley was a lovely refined incense.
I bought Bengal rouge by papillon.

SOTD yesterday was Obsession, for a lovely day in London. 🎄 (Was quite mild in town, too.)

Had a wonderful time, but mum was feeling ill, so we didn't manage to visit many places. After her appointment we took a gentle stroll down Oxford Street to look at the dept store Christmas windows and peeped at the lights on Regent Street, too. So festive! 🎄 Everything looked so Christmassy and beautiful that we made plans to go back for a proper look and to do some Christmas shopping (and sniffing!) when she's better. 🎁 🎅

SOTD molecule 1+patchouli

All my amber scents have gone weird on me. Is it age hormones?

So the vintage obsession is fake
😡
So need to wait for a refund now
Argh
I can't do raspberry notes anymore @pearsmorgan
I'm sure it's hormonal

SOTD Ambre Sultan.

SOTD Miss Dior Originale. What a shame about your Obsession, opal 😕

Oh my word I smell gorgeous today, thanks to Opal8 👏

My debut SOTD post…. Shazam!

Any tobacco vanille Tom Ford fans?
I wore it last night, sample sprays as I went past a space NK. It's gorgeous and I'm tempted to get a bottle

hi all, great to see a perfume thread. I wondered if you have an idea of what is the longest lasting perfume of all time which is still available, and stays nice and strong? I have Flowerbomb Midnight at the mo and really like it, but don't think it lasts all that long. Hope you can help.

Hi 👋
Well all the obvious ones like opium, cinnabar, knowing, Giorgio, poison, ysatis etc

I find obsession lasts a long time too

@me4real The longest lasting perfumes I have ever tried (perfume blogger for 9 years) are:

Papillon Tobacco Rose
4160 Tuesdays Midnight In The Palace Garden
Tauer Sotto La Luna Tuberose
Lanvin Arpege
Floral Street Chypre Sublime
Rihanna Reb'l Fleur
4160 Tuesdays Red Queen.

Sotd 4160 Shazam!
I need more…

Yeah...
It's a bit addictive...
😊

SOTD for stir up sunday - the smell of Christmas cake and Christmas pudding; spices and dried fruits - Arabie. 🎄🎅

Ah, Fragrantly, my long term quest to find something that smells like a Christmas pudding continues. I like Arabie but it's a bit too light.

I liked your leather blog Madamceladon - my four top leathers are Empreinte, Feu Follet, vintage Cabochard and Diorling.

Fferny - do report back on Le Jasmine.

(Am back following a gap and a name change - I'm usually a Mrs).

If you want to smell like Xmas pudding you need 4160 captured By Candlelight!!

Sooo...
Remember all that work I had done on the house 2 months ago?
It became clear last night we've had a slow leak in the utility/loo since...
Carpet in next room ruined, desk water damaged...
I'm furious
Where do I stand?
Dh is dealing with it them later this morning...I'm just too angry
If it waste water we (they) will gave to take they'll have to replace the carpet
As it is I want a new desk
Ffs 😡

Not enough bass/smoke for me Opal. Arable x Embers is my best approximation so far, but I like a dark, very mature pudding .
