SOTD YSL Libre. Love Wrappings, @Fferny1 ❤️

@FragrantlyScent I couldn't find where I put my Black Opium today before I went out. I feel bereft. Smile

FloraMacDonald · 30/11/2021 21:49

I blind bought MH Citron Citron today from TK Maxx - they had a few MH & Penhaligons.
It's not amazing - it smells a bit like lemon-scented cleaning products; I think it might be nicer in spring so I'll put it away for a few months.

I know the feeling @me4real, I thought I'd misplaced my Youth Dew the other day and felt like I'd lost a child (I don't even have children!). 😂 Xmas Blush Hope it turns up soon for you. 🤞 I can't remember if I've actually smelled Black Opium, is it similar to the original?

Wrappings is so perfect for winter @Fferny1 ❄️ Xmas Smile

It's December 1st! 🎄🎄🎄😍 So, this morning I brought out my much loved Christmas mug and had a very Xmassy breakfast of mince pies and fruitcake. Xmas Blush

I feel rotten after my Moderna jab yesterday. So I'm on the sofa in my dressing gown. I'm too headachey even to watch Netflix.
I've done a sample swop and I'm testing 3 of the Perfumer H confections - Lyn Harris perfumes. Though every single perfume smells toxic today 😞 - like poisonous burnt plastic flowers.

I felt awful after my jab too @Fferny1, almost like I had a terrible cold. Feel better soon. Flowers

FragrantlyScent · 01/12/2021 16:43

I've been scoffing far too much chocolate @Opal8. I have an advent calendar to open later, and I've been very much looking forward to making a start on some kirsch soaked cherries. Xmas Blush

@Lalalablahblahblah

I just ordered a little 15ml.bottle of captured by candlelight Smile I toyed with the 3 for 2 but in the end I thought there weren't really 3 that I wanted at the moment and CBC is gorgeous but I really can't see me using it outside of December so 15 should be fine. I'm a bit worried it's going to get stuck behind all the pink Friday orders though. I really want to get my wears in while it's December Grin
I've got a 15ml of CbC on the ho snd got a 30ml in the HPF sale. I adore it!

Then tomorrow will be running around getting dh sorted for his trip.
