Hello! Thanks for the new thread @FestivelyScent. I couldn't even view the end of the last one let alone post on it, so I've been MIA.

I got my chypre loving hands on 4160 Tuesdays' Oakmossery. Oh it's divine. Love at first sniff and perfect for this time of year.

Thanks for the new thread @FestivelyScent.

My sample of the new Gallivant, Abu Dhabi, has arrived. According to the card that came with it, the notes are cypress, pink pepper, pristine white robes (😂), a falconer’s leather gloves (😂😂), saffron, geranium and orris. Most of the Gallivant scents are pretty unisex, but I’d say this one was definitely more masculine.

Thanks for the thread @FestivelyScent

Sotd sample C from the spice box. Not spicy at all imo 🤷‍♀️

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 06/10/2022 22:03

I've just realised I've got 6 - yes 6! - bottles of perfume on the way to me 😳😵‍💫😬🤣

A 4160tuesdays customised trio, 2 x avon ebay buys and a bottle of Dior Addict

Good grief

Just posting to mark my place, and although I have little to offer, enjoy your updates 😊

SOTD was 4160Ts Shazam, for visiting the migraine clinic. My second set of 31 Botox injections today, even though the first set made absolutely no difference to my migraines. Apparently you need two treatments before completely ruling it out and trying something new. Humph.

SOTN is Kenzo Jungle Elephant for cosiness, because I'm exhausted.

Ouch, @FestivelyScent - I hope it helps you.

SOTD Kayali Vanilla.

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 07/10/2022 10:54

SOTD - Kayali vanilla + MMM BTF. A great combo if I do say so myself

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 07/10/2022 10:54

Has anyone tried 'Potion Paris' scents? I like the look of the bottles...

Kenzo Jungle l'Elephant is def on the lists of scents I'd like to try next time I'm picking out samples, @FestivelyScent - it sounds perfect for this time of year

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 07/10/2022 12:13

Bonjour - SOTD - 4160 Both Sides of Clouds.

Annoyingly this has the shortest longevity of any of their scents on me. I really like petrichor note in it. Does anyone know of other perfumes with this note I could try?

DeepDown12 · 07/10/2022 12:15

SOTD Sample H. Not sure about this one. Smells better on paper than on my skin, I think.

BUT - very excited about arrival of T4160 discovery set and can't wait to start trying it out tonight.

Yes, it was great. Very interesting to see it all being made.
Nice coffee cake 🍰 too
I've got loads of their mugs...they are a proper mug. Sturdy 🙂

FestivelyScent · 07/10/2022 23:40

Jungle Elephant is very autumnal @Pigeon31 Clove, cardamom, raisin and rich vanilla. I love it, and think it very comforting, but it can be quite a marmite fragrance.

Emma Bridgewater mugs are definitely the definitive mug @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton 😊 A factory visit sounds so exciting, I love behind the scenes type things.

SOTN is Shalimar.

Have just seen your post @Judystilldreamsofhorses Thank you. 😊 I hope so too. 🤞It feels like I've tried 1001 different migraine treatments so far, am really hoping something works soon. The migraine pain itself I can sort of manage, it's the awful brain fog and tiredness and 'hangover' that I really struggle with.

Happy birthday @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton!

Lovely sunny day here today. SOTD is Gallivant Los Angeles.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 08/10/2022 19:20

Had a wonderful day, thank you 😊
