@Lalalablahblahblah

I'm looking for a clean, fresh out of the shower, soapy fragrance. I know it's going to be something I crave in the New Year. Any suggestions, my fragrant friends?

Clean reserve warm cotton 4160tuesdays laundry Avon pur blanca

I'd add 4160tuesdays fluffy lemon top too...its so fresh and light

Never been on this thread before. Perfume newbie in every way...last one CK1 or something in about 2002.

Looking for a grown up, lemony, herbal, maybe, subtle perfume. Definitely not girly. Any ideas?

Hi all, I've seen the Avon timeless mentioned before on MN, could someone describe it for me! I like long lasting woody scents. Would I be disappointed with a blind buy?

It's a beautiful ambery chypre And fir £5 it's a safe blind buy imo

Try 4160tuesdays fluffy lemon top or lemon sherbert

Oh and welcome both! 😊

SOTD Clinique Wrappings.

Perfumer H Moss is my Sotd.
It's just beautiful, but very soft and intimate. I would love to go to Lyn Harris's perfume atelier. Shop seems just a little too mundane ...

Yesterday’s sotd MM Replica was another disappointment, disappearing in no time .

Today’s Sotd Timeless will definitely last the day.

@Opal8 thank you!!

Welcome @MaidEdithofAragon! You're amongfriends. I suggest Goutal Eau d'hadrien- a classic lemon scent that was created in the 80s and has never gone out of style.

Alternatively, try some of the 4160 Tuesdays range (and support an indie business). For lemon lover, try Mrs Glass Lemons Sherbert, Both Sides of Clouds, Fluffy Lemon Top or Complicated Shadows. They do 15ml bottles if you're unsure about an expensive blind buy.

Thanks MissBattleaxe!

SOTD sherryfied Chanel no 5 ( bottle gifted by my grandad about 20 years ago). Can anyone recommend a fragrance with blackcurrant notes ( not a Jo Malone as I don’t get in with that range). Thanks!

SOTD YSL Libre for the last day of term 🎉🎉🎉

Sotd is PP Wood Fire 🔥 to do the pre MIL cleaning 🧹

@whataboutbob Ysl In Love Again is just the best blackcurrant. It's sold at All beauty. I've just had to check because I wasn't sure whether it was still around.

Eau d' hadrien is definitely still the best Lemon perfume around in EDP format . Along with the Profumum Roma 🍋- Aqua Viva I think it's called.

Sotd is still Perfumer h Moss. I'm wondering whether they do sales? I suspect not.

@Fferny1 thank you that is really kind, I will try it.

SOTD yesterday was Aramis JHL, then SOTE was Obsession.

So far, three deliveries have not turned up without warning this week. So, I've some last minute Christmas shopping to do. However, I needed some wrapping paper, and foodie bits to make up a hamper, so will be shopping anyway. Then, I think I'm done with my Xmas shopping. Lots of wrapping left, though, but wrapping is probably one of my favourite Christmassy jobs. I'm quite looking forward to it! 🎁🎄

Sotd 4160tuesdays Temptation

I feel like roadkill today so have done a LFT and am going to check it in minute...

I've only had 1 parcel not arrive yet and it was only a small Stocking filler type gift so not too bothered.

I've got 15mls of 4160tuesdays standing stones for sale if anyone's interested?
It's really lovely but my skin is a bit weird with citrus scents, sadly. (Won't arrive by Xmas now I'm afraid..)

LFT - so it's probably just usual peri menopausal fun 😫
