Hello all my wonderfully fragrant friends,

It's time for a shiny new thread! 😊 Perfect timing for autumn too. 🍂🎃🍂

Newbies are 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! 😊

Just popping in to say I'm back and to apologise for disappearing with no explanation. Sorry.

Went on a short holiday to North Yorkshire (in replacement for the aborted seaside break) and was so tired on returning I thought it best to have a little break from the internet. I can't stay away from fragrance discussion for long, though, so it's back to normal here. Will read the thread updates properly later.

SOTD is Shalimar.

Welcome back 💙

It's the October box reveal tonight (spice)

I'll be buying the musk box too so I'll have over £40 to spend on something nice 😃

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 27/10/2022 21:17

Enjoyed the reveal...really like 4 of them. 2 are horrid (to me) and the other 2 are ok.

But rather embarrassed that dh wears 2 of the featured scents and I didn't recognise them!

FestivelyScent · 27/10/2022 22:50

Thank you @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton 😊

SOTN is a respraying of Shalimar as my stomach is feeling delicate and this is comforting.

SOTD was L'heure Bleue. This turned into a serendipitous choice, as I came home at dusk with my scent matching the deepening October twilight. Perfect for autumn.

SOTN is Eau my Soul. So warm and smooth and cosy.

Sotd: couple of spritzes of acqua di.parma magnolia infinity from the duty free shop (gorgeous creamy white florals but out of my price range 😀)

Just come back from a long weekend in Rome, which was lovely. Would love to find a fragrance with similar aromatic/bitter orange profile to aperol spritz if anyone has suggestions?

I guess it's my week. Just got an offer on FB from Shay and Blue for a free 10ml of their blood orange perfume :)

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 29/10/2022 11:31

S&B blood orange is nice. VERY orangey.
