That sounds awful @Opal8 - I would be furious too.

I do love Arabie, it just smells instantly Christmassy to me @DrJakes. Having said that, I wouldn't mind a really deep, rich Xmas pudding fragrance. Smile

Thanks x
It's the new washing machine waste pipe. It's leaking (and has been since it was put in 9 weeks ago..)
So, that's being replaced on Wednesday and they are getting ds1 a new desk and replacing the carpet underlay
I'm still bloody livid
We paid them £££££ and this!
Grrrr

me4real · 22/11/2021 20:01

Grr that's really aggravting @Opal8 . Angry Hope it gets sorted out soon.

Opal8 · 22/11/2021 20:53

Thank you
I've mopped up more of the water, moved the water damaged desk and used my carpet cleaner to clean it and get more water up
Not really in my plans for this evening!
Dh is dealing with it as I'm so cross I'm not sure I could be civil 🤬
I mean...tightening waste pipes is plumbing 101 surely!?
Anyway, less of my moaning.
I'm in bed watching TV and preparing for a big trustee meeting tomorrow.
Have a good night fragrant ones x

SOTF Diptyque Geranium Odorata.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 22/11/2021 21:22

SOTD, even!

madamceladon · 22/11/2021 22:19

Sotd Chanel 19. Finished my little sample. So fresh elegant and delicious

Glad you liked the leather blog @DrJakes and congratulations if you've just become a doctor 😊

DrJakes · 22/11/2021 23:02

Only here. I've had a run of user names with a shared link in children's literature, but have now exhausted these, and the nearest fit was DrJakes. In RL I am very much a Ms. Smile

FragrantlyScent · 22/11/2021 23:16

SOTD Jungle L'elephant

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/11/2021 12:46

SOTD Chanel Coco. I don't know why I don't wear this more often, it's so nice and cosy for this time of year.

Opal8 · 23/11/2021 13:50

Sotd pp mmm btf

Fferny1 · 23/11/2021 14:05

I've sold a few bottles of perfume & have some money languishing on my PayPal account... So of course I've just bought a new one - Hermes Mandarin Ambre 🤦🏼‍♀️
It's a bit cheaper than normal & is unboxed, but I can return it if all isn't well. Pamplemousse Rose is one of my most frequently worn summer scents and I'm hoping this will be my cooler weather equivalent.

Sorry for the bathroom woes @Opal.

SpeckledyHen · 23/11/2021 15:25

Sotd Shazam! of course.

Just ordered a 4160 taster set and book…. a slippery slope?

What a nightmare Opal8 🤬

Sotd Shazam! of course.

What a nightmare Opal8 🤬

I should have warned you how addictive Shazam is 🤣 Which taster set did you go for? Yeah...I'm really very cross about it
MissBattleaxe · 23/11/2021 21:31

@SpeckledyHen a slippery slope? I've bought 2 perfumes that Sarah McCartney wrote about in the book: Chantilly and Rosa Ribes. Careful now!

SpeckledyHen · 24/11/2021 06:56

I bought this one Opal8

NotMyCat · 24/11/2021 11:28

SOTD laura mercier ambre vanille new to me, just received it!

madamceladon · 24/11/2021 12:08

Sotd my new bottle of musc ravageur it's so yummy

FragrantlyScent · 24/11/2021 14:33

SOTD yesterday was Aramis JHL - smells like a marriage between Youth Dew, Cinnabar and Opium. ❤️ Smile

Will choose something for today later.

Am currently wondering how to get the Christmassy santa-hatted emoticons here on mn. They're not showing up for me. Hmm

Opal8 · 24/11/2021 14:56

I'm still trying to get my refund for the fake obsession. Grrr

MissBattleaxe · 24/11/2021 18:39

SOTD Le Jardin Retrouve Mousse Arashiyama. Full of oakmoss! Right up my street. Just writing about it now. NB I do work for them but I liked their perfumes for a long time first.

FragrantlyScent · 24/11/2021 18:42

SOTD Chypre Palatin.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 24/11/2021 23:57

SOTD Mitsouko. We need to fill up this thread since it has summer in the title!

FragrantlyScent · 25/11/2021 00:20

I was thinking the same thing yesterday @Judystilldreamsofhorses! Xmas Smile
