A Christmas thread 🎄

Wishing all my fragrant chums a very Merry Christmas 💜

Sotd 4160 Shazam!

SOTD is Ambre Sultan. ❄️

SOTN is Ambre Narguile. Stewed apples, cinnamon and cloves - so warm and cosy. ❄️☃️

MN is only a bit slower for me, but I have noticed an increase in ads recently, especially video ads. I hope they go away soon.

Sotd 4160tuesdays Shazam

I won't be purchasing any of the jjb fragrances this year. There a 3/4 I like but not enough to buy one.

I'd rather wait for their January sale and see what's on offer 😊

Wrappings is Sotd. It's freezing here & I just wanted a bracing green scent. I've just tried all the Vyrao perfumes - yuck! They all smell so synthetic and like sweeties.
I really like the bottles & colours in the range though as they're so pretty.

SOTD Hermes Pamplemousse Rose - a nice zesty scent to give me energy for an exam. It went well despite some technical issues. Looking forward to some Perfumer H samples later this week; thanks for putting on to the brand fferny.

SOTD pink sugar

SOTD is Opium, for Christmas cake making day! (it was meant to be made before Christmas, but everyone was too ill and tired. It's in the oven as we speak!)

SOTD is Shazam! for me as well today. Whenever I wear it I wonder why I don't put it on more often. It's lovely

It's gorgeous isn’t it?

I've been wearing it a lot

SOTD Eau Duelle again. I got a huge 100ml bottle of this for Christmas, and am just on the final dregs of my old bottle.

SOTD NRFH.

SOTD Amber Absolute.

SOTD Clinique Happy.

I used to wear it 20 years ago and when browsing a local buyer-seller site I saw someone had a full bottle for sale for next to nothing so I couldn't resist.

When my husband sniffed my wrist he got all nostalgic for those good old days

Exciting delivery from Perfumer H of Gold, Rain Moss and Incense Water samples. But had already put on SOTD (MMM by the fireplace to calm pre-exam nerves) so they will have to wait.

Exciting @Frenchfoodie. Am I the only Perfumista who can't resist trying new perfumes straight away.
Sotd is Vintage Apercu parfum. I have a tiny cute perfume bottle that I dropped & cracked the top of. It's now dark, viscous & oily but still smells great. I craved Oakmoss today so it was either this or Vintage Private Collection. I wore Perfumer H Moss yesterday but much as though I love it it's very understated and I can't smell it after a couple of hours.

Perfume parlour dupes came today
Baccarat rouge
Kilian love don't be shy

Both bloody gorgeous I have one on each arm

Has anyone tried the perfume oils from Oud Attar? I ordered a set of four having read the amazing reviews but can't decide if they smell like the back of my gran's cupboards! Also very uninspiring names- Dark, Royal, Spiced etc.

Good luck for your exams @1frenchfoodie!

I love perfume parlour @maybeheismycat; some of their dupes are absolutely spot on. The Baccarat Rouge dupe sounds great. I didn't know they had one - I've heard a lot about BR and have been meaning to get a sample, but think I'll try the pp version instead next time I make an order from them.

I can never resist trying new perfumes immediately @Fferny1, I find it very exciting! If I already have something on then I'll spray tissue or thick paper - I can never wait very long to try new perfume.

Just tried eau dynamisante in boots and found it very similar to eau sauvage Hermes (not Sauvage, the older one)

Nice sharp slightly musky lemon
