The friendly perfumistas thread 32: spring has sprung 🌷 and we all smell amazing ☺️

[ChiswickFlo]

Morning my fragrant friends ☺️

New thread as we are nearly in May now...

Rather grey here today so sotd will be pp mmm btf

Hope @judystilldreamsofhorses is feeling better?

Have a good Bank Holiday x

I went for abbey perfumery Joe smooth (very like black opium to my nose...)
Then my gallivant samples arrived so I'm wearing Naples too. It's lovely!

Going out out so sotd is Au Coeur de Desert.

Nice choice!

SOTD a sample of MH Violet Ida I bought on eBay. I still can’t smell/taste much but I can tell it is very powdery. Hope everyone is having nice weekends.

I'm now trying gallivant Istanbul. Rather nice!

It's a quiet one today @Judystilldreamsofhorses

Dh out, ds2 in his room, ds1 revising all day and now gone out.

I'm billy no mates ;)

Hope your dh is OK x

Quiet Saturday for me too; migraine and nausea have trapped me on the sofa and in front of the tv in a sorry mood.

SOTN is Ambre Orient, for its powdery comfort.

Oh, that sucks @FestivelyScent :(

I'm awake at silly o'clock clock again...

Hope the migraine has gone now, FestivelyScent, it’s so grim when it takes out a whole day, especially at the weekend.

Trying more samples today. I’ve got Prosody London Lissom Linden on one hand, which is apparently petitgrain and linden (think this is the same thing as lime blossom?). It’s very fresh but a bit laundry detergent on me. Got Electimuss Trajan on the other hand. This is more my thing, it’s richer and sweeter than the other one.

Prosody mocha muscari is one if my favourites :)

Sotd avon lbd celebrate - I can see me wearing this a lot in the summer...

⚠️@missbattleaxe
T k maxx currently have first van cleef and arpels 100ml for £35!!!!!

@ChiswickFlo OMG! That's super hard to get now. My bottle came from the Netherlands in the end!

Sotd is Bottega Veneta Illusione. I absolutely love the original Bottega Veneta but am not a fan of any of their other perfumes. I came across this one quite randomly though and really like it. It's a lovely summery perfume. Very different to the leathery original.

Sote kayali vanilla

SOTD is being over powered by the origins body cream I'm wearing so I smell like sweet mint but luckily not toothpaste.

SOTD TF Soleil Blanc from the plague zone. Are we ever going to have a “clean” house again?

Feeling a bit better today. Was still headache-y and foggy earlier, so had a long nap and hopefully that will see it off completely. 😴

SOTN is Angel's Share.

What's the longevity like on this? I love the sound of it but heard it doesn't last at all?

SOTD elie saab la parfum

Sotd 4160tuesdays SSOTPE

@IrisApfelRocks the longevity isn't great tbh which is a shame. Nice choice with Elie Saab - one of my faves.

Post shower sota pp mmm btf layered with campfire marshmallow luxury body creme

I smell incredible ☺️ and it'll be wasted on a zoom meeting 🙃

SOTD was Givrine, SOTE is lovely, cosy Next Cashmere.

Gorgeous scent 😍

Sotd was Beauty Pie Orange Absolute

Morning smelly ones 😘

Ugh. Awake at silly o clock again 😴

Reading and writing essays non stop for 2 weeks has finally caught up with Ds1 - he is utterly exhausted. He looked ill last night :( I'm insisting on 2/3 days off for him from today.

Taking mum out later - that'll be fun 🙃

Sotd pp mmm btf
