The Friendly Perfumistas Thread 33 - ☀️ Summer is here & we are all fragrantly fabulous

[FestivelyScent]

Hello fragrant friends,

This is edition 33 (!) of the long running perfumista threads.

Newbies most definitely welcome. Come and discuss your Scent Of The Day (SOTD), old favourites, new infatuations, the best dupes and scents of any price point. We are very friendly! 😊

Well, half a back molar has come away :(

So...Will be trying to get an emergency dental appointment tomorrow:(

Sotd is Silky Woods by Goldfield and Banks. This brand is a new discovery for me. Silky Woods is gorgeous. A slightly sweet and powdery sandalwood.

Oh no @Chevyimpala67 ! I hope you can get a repair done tomorrow.

SOTD Chanel 5.

☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

Well.
Going to try and get an emergency dental appointment when they open at 9am (the friday before a bank holiday...hahahaha)
It'll be implants. It's the 2nd tooth that side I'll have lost so there will be a huge gap.
That's next year's holiday up the spout!
Sigh.
Taking ds2 to get his ears micro suctioned later.
Rock n roll!
Sotd Estee lauder modern muse nuit

I feel your pain, I've got a temp filling in one that's got to come out but I'm putting it off until after my wedding next year if possible as I am going to have to go down the implant route.

SOTD - Estee Lauder Green Tea and Nectarine - this arrived yesterday and I really like it for general spritzing when I might not otherwise wear perfume. I wore it to my pole fitness class last night and have sprayed again this morning while I WFH in my trackies 😊

Good luck with the emergency appointment / implant. I remember my dentist saying when I got a gold crown that it might be the most expensive custom jewellry I ever owned (she was right!) so I always think of dentistry like that now.

sotd: aromatics elixir

Wedding next year!!??? 😃😃

What will you be wearing perfume wise!?

Appointment at 12.15pm.

Ugh.

Dentist has filled and said its not a bog bit of tooth that's come away.
Phew.
Just had to pick ds2 up from school ill
It's been that kinda week
☹️☹️☹️☹️

Stupid fat fingers

@Chevyimpala67 I have no idea yet what scent I'll be wearing. That's half the reason I'm trialling so many at the moment. Im hoping to fall in love with something and then wear it on special occasions over the next 10 months so that it's not brand new on the day but is still special.

Knowing we have similar tastes what is your favourite 'special' fragrance?

Oh, blimey....
Well, I wore avon nightmusk on my wedding day 23 years ago 🙂💜
I worse that for years until they discontinued it
I love Estee lauder knowing - I wore it a lot at one time. Its a BIG hitter though 🙂
I love Andy tauer au coeur du desert
Killian angels share is amazing
If I were getting married now I'd probably wear 4160tuesdays SSOTPE

Well I shall check those out at a minimum.

I think my fave 4160 so far is Both Sides of Cloud so that's in contention.

I can't actually remember what I wore first time round, but if my fragrance tastes have changed as much as my fashion then it was probably something I'd loathe now - my dresses are very different!

4160tuesdays doe in the snow was created for a customer wedding

Depends on time of year too

It's July 8th in London so could be a heatwave or could be torrential rain!

Hmmm.
Yes, true :)
Need to plan for both eventualities then :)
So a lighter summery fragrance and also more deep, ambery scent?

How exciting 😃💜

It seems only sensible to have two fragrances ready. Maybe a third in case of emergencies too?

Can't hurt 👍😃

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque. Glad the tooth is okay @Chevyimpala67 🦷

Thank you x

Sote kayali vanilla

I've felt very "off" for the past few days...apparently Mercury is in retrograde and thats an actual thing 😳

SOTD L'Interdit. Perfect for the migration from summer to autumn. Floral with a woody base.

I'm taking my 8 year old daughter for a polio booster vaccine today. There will be tears :(

I think today I shall wear ck contradiction

I find this SO good for this in betweeny weather we are having

Today I have some Lavender and Vetiver body cream from the Body Shop (it's called Sleep because it's all quite restful but I'm just in a mood for lavender today).

sotd: aromatics elixir - feeling like a forest witch

SOTD (well morning as I'll shower after Pilates) - Sleep Knot - 4160

It's quite harsh in first spray but then settles into another sweet and creamy scent. It lacks some of the edge from SSOTPE or Mother Nature's Daughters for me but it's very wearable.
