Morning my fragrant friends ☺️

Hope @judystilldreamsofhorses is feeling better?

Have a good Bank Holiday x

SOTD was MH Violet Ida, then in NRFH after having a bath tonight.

Enjoy your holiday!! @Chevyimpala67☀️🏖️😊

SOTD was Samsara.

SOTN is Angel's Share.

Sotd is my brand new bottle of Chanel Paris-Riviera. Just beautiful for summer 😍.

@CorneliaStreet I have no willpower and bought Cecile and Aubine 😂

SOTD TF Soleil Blanc.

SOTD was Yardley Rose but it disappeared quite quickly.

SOTD is Ambre Orient.

SOTD MMM Beach Walk.

SOTD Angel's Share.

SOTD was Paul Smith's Rose EDP. I'm sad it doesn't last very long as it's a fresh and accurate rose scent. I've finished my By Kilian Moonlight in Heaven travel size so I'll use that bottle and decant for on the go. Their case for their travel sizes is lovely.

SOTD Pear Inc. I wore Lazy Sunday Morning at the weekend.

SOTD is Original Aramis, which smells very composed in this 37° (!) heat.

SOTD is Tommy Girl. Hadn’t smelled this for years, actually still really like it.

SOTD JM Wild Bluebell.

I've been feeling so rubbish (not a clue what it is) this past week and haven't fancied anything citrus-y for this hot weather. I seem to have stuck with just a limited rotation. Would love to order some samples, but can't drum up the enthusiasm atm, so will wait until I have more energy to enjoy and appreciate them.

So, SOTN is Vanilla 28, for comfort. It's probably a bit much for the sweltering temps tonight, but is doing its job and making me feel better.

I've been wearing Fidji and L'Air du Temps in this heat. I also tried Jacques Fath Lilas Exquis and would seriously consider a full bottle. All lilacs and hyacinth!

SOTD Tommy Girl again. The tea/citrus/light floral thing is perfect in this weather.

I am working my way through the Atelier Cologne discovery set in this weather. So far everything I have tried is deliciously juicy, but none of them last at all.

SOTD is Lavender Cologne.

SOTD clean summer sailing. Just what I needed in this heat!

The Lavender Cologne is vintage, given to me by my mum to use up, and from Coty. It comes in one of those old fashioned perfume bottles that have a pressurised spray, so you just hold down the sprayer. It is a beautiful powdery lavender, resting on a Chypre-y oakmossy base. It doesn't last long, but is very solidly constructed. Wonderful in this heat.

SOTN is Angel's Share, because I am willing away this heatwave. I feel like I'm living in a well decorated greenhouse.

SOTD was Chanel 19. Had a bath and now in YSL Libre.

@FestivelyScent i love lavender. I use a spray and essential oil every night before bed.

Sotd is Paris-Riviera again. I love it so much.

SOTD Miller Harris Secret Gardenia. My travel size of this is getting low, I am going to have to splash out on a full bottle I think.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses I love lavender too! I just couldn't be without something lavender-y to spritz and was on the verge of ordering a bottle of Yardley's Original English Lavender (was literally going to do it that evening) when my mum gave me the Coty. I told her she must have read my mind. 😁

@FestivelyScent the Vintage Lavender Cologne sounds fabulous. I'm another one in love with all things Lavender. I spray L'Occitane's cologne on my skin with abandon in Summer & use This Works Sleep Spray with Lavender in in my pillow every night.

I haven't posted recently because most of my perfumes don't smell right since Covid. I'm thinking of selling quite a few, as I still have around 50 bottles.
Many smell sickly or stinky now ( for want of a better phrase!) Grapefruit still smells really good but Jasmine really doesn't.
