Tried E from the vanilla box earlier. On me it had top notes of Elastoplast with base notes of TCP 😄 I’ve washed it off and am now wearing the lovely Incense Water by Sana Jardin.

musicmum75 · 26/09/2022 23:20

@Cantonet I love Eau d'Iparie too. It's just gorgeous.

Sotd is Eau Duelle. I'm so glad it's the weather for heavier scents now.

FestivelyScent · 26/09/2022 23:48

SOTN is Kayali Vanilla 28.

Chevyimpala67 · 27/09/2022 10:48

The last one is lovely
It'll be very interesting to see what they are
Sotd pp mmm btf

I tried H from the vanilla box earlier. On me it was almost nutty when it first went on, then went through a powdery stage (iris?) and then the dry down was a really nice vanilla.

SOTE will be Kayali Vanilla, to continue the vanilla theme.

Alienbigcat45 · 27/09/2022 19:18

SOTD F from the escentual box, smells very familiar like something my mum may have worn.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 27/09/2022 21:49

I’m in a hole of Diptyque Eau Duelle. So perfect for this time of year.

Chevyimpala67 · 27/09/2022 21:52

Sotn kayali vanilla 😋

FestivelyScent · 28/09/2022 00:08

SOTD was L'heure Bleue because I had to drag myself out into the world today. I'm so glad I did as had a really lovely time after appointments and errands were completed.

SOTN is Shazam, which smells wonderfully rich on this chilly evening.

Payday was last Friday so I now have a small bottle of Gucci Bloom and a little box of Guerlain samples from Notino (mon guerlain, la petite robe noire, aqua allegoria mandarin basilic, aqua allegoria nettare di sole and santal royal)

sotd: Bloom - it's not really an autumnal scent but I do like it

MissBattleaxe · 28/09/2022 18:00

SOTD Miller Harris Myrica Muse. It's a fruity floral with a hint of booze but I find it more floral than anything else. I really like it.

667TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 28/09/2022 18:19

Hi I have never posted on this thread before but I’m hoping you lovely fragrance ladies can help me please.
I know it’s terribly unsophisticated but I have worn Body Shop white musk for 30 years or more and it’s now changed as it’s been re invented as a vegan version and the smell is completely different. I’ve been told the Perfume Parlour do a dupe called Clear Dear but it hasn’t been in stock for many months now. I used a website where you could search for similar perfumes and it came up with this perfume pictured, but I cannot find anything online related to this. Any help greatly appreciated!

I really want to try that new Miller Harris @MissBattleaxe.

I’ve just had an email from Gallivant offering to send a free sample of their new perfume, so I’ve ordered one. I was wearing their Tel Aviv today and I’ve got plans to get both Gdansk and Los Angeles, so looking forward to trying the new one.

MissBattleaxe · 28/09/2022 18:22

Yes the new Gallivant ixs Abu Dhabi. Looking forward to trying it. They are consistently good quality.

Chevyimpala67 · 28/09/2022 18:59

Sotd pp mmm btf layered with campfire marshmallow body creme

FestivelyScent · 29/09/2022 00:22

SOTN is Amber Absolute. This is such a warm smell; frankincense, spices, woods and toffeed amber - I feel like I'm smouldering inside!

Sotd pp mmm btf for my foodbank shift

Pigeon31 · 29/09/2022 09:26

sotd mon guerlain. Well this is very lovely, very pretty scent.

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 29/09/2022 10:25

SOTD - 4160 Rhubarb and custard. It's so accurate and yet not cloying at all, I really enjoy wearing it.

CorneliaStreet · 29/09/2022 10:45

Snap @Pigeon31, I'm wearing Mon Guerlain today too. I love it, it's pretty and rich at the same time.

Cantonet · 29/09/2022 15:04

Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger layered with Mizensir's Eau de Gingembre.
Mizensir is the best Ginger perfume I've found. I buy it in 10 ml decants as it's so spendy 😊

FestivelyScent · 29/09/2022 17:32

SOTD is Mitsouko, because today is the perfect day for it imo - sunny but fresh with the leaves just turning. I love autumn.

I shall be tuning into the escentual vanilla box reveal at 8pm.

I'd better wear one of them I suppose! 😃
