sotd: santal cardamome

SOTN is Ambre Narguile - it's first outing of autumn - because I have been watching Christmas movies today and am feeling all festive. Ambre Narguile is the smell of apple pie filling: warm stewed apples, thickly laced with cinnamon and cloves. So cosy. Am wafting around in spiced heaven and I love it.

SOTD is Le Roi Soleil (Salvador Dali)... getting into the spicy mood awaiting for Escentual box to arrive. Also reminds me of my teenage years where I'd sneak a few spritzes from my mum's dressing table. Its been discontinued but I've been lucky to find a 100ml bottle on ebay a few years ago - I use it sparingly (also because its really an evening perfume) but I work from home today, its Monday and... why not.

DeepDown12 · 03/10/2022 09:49

That should be Le Roy Soleil - no idea where that 'i' came from :)

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 09:51

I'm having an at home day today - felt a bit rough last night so taking it easy today

I will go for a walk later

Sotd pp killian angels share ❤️

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 10:26

I won the 2 discontinued avon perfumes on ebay :)

CorneliaStreet · 03/10/2022 10:38

What did you get @Chevyimpala67?

SOTD is Miller Harris Secret Gardenia. That was the end of my travel spray, will get a full bottle but maybe not until the spring now.

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 03/10/2022 10:40

Morning, SOTD is Besos by Carner
Lovely and clean and baby powdery but I don't think it's right for the season, I need some warmer fragrances but they're not my go to. Perhaps I'll try the Spice box.

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 12:04

Trueglow Nightfall and premier luxe 😃

Its 4160tuesdays customisation month!

Tell me more about this please, I can't see any reference on their website

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 13:07

@SandrasAnnoyingFriend
They are in the website but not easy to find!
I sent an e mail and Amy sent me a link
There are 3 trio customisations I think...SSOTPE, temptation and another one.
Or you can add an ingredient to a current perfume- just put what you want in the notes when you order

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 13:08

Here's the link to the trio I'm getting

sotd: molecule 01 + mandarin

Was standing next to a guy in the bus queue who had some strong fragrance on also (some kind of powerful rose oud I think, it wasn't unpleasant, just projected a lot) so I feel as though I'd had a dose of that also :)

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 14:58

Showered using coffee and cardomum soap and now scented with 4160tuesdays cbyc 💙

Chevyimpala67 · 03/10/2022 16:58

I should wear this more often

It's utterly lush 😍

FestivelyScent · 03/10/2022 23:31

SOTN is Jungle L'Elephant - first wearing of the season. It's quite damp today and this is wonderfully warming. I have a horribly early start tomorrow that I'm really not looking forward to, so am enjoying the cosiness this evening.

Sotd 4160tuesdays captured By Candlelight again

Cantonet · 04/10/2022 11:26

It's damp but not especially cold here so Mossy Cristalle is Sotd.

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 04/10/2022 14:21

So very excited by the arrival of my Escentual spice box! Will start trying them out at the weekend.

SOTD is APO The Virgin Violet. I absolutely love this scent.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/10/2022 16:37

I am so behind on this thread. SOTD is MH LDR, and yesterday was Diptyque Geranium Odorato. Happy October, everyone!

I'm reading the latest Stephen kind which feels appropriately spooky 👻 🎃

SOTD MMM BTF for a dreadfully wet and windy day.

@667TheNeighbourOfTheBeast i don’t know the perfume you have posted but I wonder if you might like Kiel’s Musk? It comes in various forms and isn’t too terribly expensive. If you have a counter near you might be able to get a sample.

Hi thank you very much for this I will have a look

Chevyimpala67 · 04/10/2022 17:54

Pigeon31 · 04/10/2022 17:56

Super choices everyone, they all sound great. Spice box arrived today so that's exciting!

Sotd: aromatics elixir
