SOTD Stella. God I am so ready for the Christmas holidays now.

Me too @Judystilldreamsofhorses
Dh is away, dc are shattered...

SOTD Ambre Sultan for a spot of lunch outside and Christmas shopping.

SOTN Ambre Narguile; it's not really an amber, more like cinnamon, cloves and stewed apples/raisins.

SOTD today is going to be two - one on each arm. Possibly not a good idea ? but I’m doing it as an experiment…..

I did that! 😊

Let is know which one you prefer!

It's Wednesday. Ugh. Never could get the hang of Wednesdays...

SOTD is a mix of Bloom samples I wanted to use up, I smell like a weird mix of metal, solvents and burnt things. Luckily I'm WFH today.

SOTD Arabie. We're finally putting up our Christmas decorations (so much has been going on we're a bit late this year) and are currently in the middle of a big cleaning and tidying spree. However, there is a wreath on the door and our much loved Christmas tree and lights will be going up in a bit. Baubles will have to wait until tomorrow. It will be so cosy and festive sitting by Christmas tree light later this evening! 🎄

It's very twinkly and festive ✨️

Very excited, my 3 Tauer samples arrived today 👏.

Where do you all tend to apply your perfumes? I've heard that they last longer when applied to clothes (or hair?) so I stopped putting it on my 'decolletage' and instead put it on my top in front of it. The theory being that it still has some body heat to help the scent emanate, but will last longer.

What's Your Opinion On?

I think that's true but I'd be wary of spraying on delicate fabrics
I spray on my wrist, neck and decolletage

...I also respray if needed

I normally spritz 2 - 3 sprays of perfume onto the base of my neck. Usually to the small centre hollow (can't remember the name), but sometimes both sides and centre. I've tried applying perfume onto my clothes, but I just can't smell it when I do, or it sometimes seems to smell different to me. Plus, most of my fragrances are quite dark in colour, so would probably stain.

I don't spray on my decolletage. I think the alcohol in perfume dries out the skin, and I'm already wrinkly enough there.
I stick to wrists & behind the ears.

I've bought clinique be happy cookies and something which is supposedly very like mmm btf and cocoa and cashmere which is am Amber scent...only £18 each so worth a punt I thought 😊

I bought a small bottle of Coco in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, so have sprayed a strip and am testing this today. Not sure what I think of it yet, I can definitely smell the cloves and oranges though.
