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! 😊

SOTD Stella. I should probably ration this!

ArielManto43 · 03/11/2022 00:39

SOTD Black Opium Extreme. The weather was miserable all day, windy and rainy, but I sprayed some of this lovely stuff on my scarf and felt considerably cheered up every time I buried my nose in it. Perfume as therapy.

Clinique Calyx is my Sotd.
Completely non-weather appropriate I know, but cheers me up with its Citrussy tropical vibe.

Pigeon31 · 03/11/2022 10:12

Sotd: aromatics elixir, I find it quite energising, like I want to go out for a walk in the rain now!

PeloFondo · 03/11/2022 11:16

SOTD gold sugar. Didn't realise it's been discontinued, one of my fave easy to wear cheap scents

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 03/11/2022 12:06

SOTD FM Hiver.

FestivelyScent · 04/11/2022 00:03

I love Aromatics Elixir too @Pigeon31 It has exactly the same effect on me - a sort of lifting, cheering action. I always associate it with special and happy occasions, but have been wearing it more often since they changed the formula a bit. 😊

Very rainy and windy and damp here also - I'm under a heated blanket! So SOTD yesterday was Ambre Narguile: cinnamon spiced stewed apples - it smells like apple pie filling!

SOTD today is Ambre Sultan. Its first outing of the season.

I remember when I used to leave the house for fun things 🙄😬

Hope all goes well @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton.

Coffee here too with Shay & Blue Voulez Vous.

ArielManto43 · 04/11/2022 12:38

SOTD Dzing! by L'Artisan Parfumeur. I swear this perfume emits an actual warmth of its own. Perfect Autumnal cosy, warm furry scent.

FestivelyScent · 04/11/2022 22:49

SOTD is Shalimar.

SOTD: Time for Mitsouko! Glad summer is over!!!

PeloFondo · 05/11/2022 13:20

SOTD bath and body works in the stars

FestivelyScent · 05/11/2022 23:44

I'm so glad summer is over too! @Deathraystare This year it really was too much. Mitsouko just feels perfect for Autumn, doesn't it?

SOTE is Ambre Narguile. The spiced apples felt somehow appropriate for bonfire night.🍂

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle. I bloody hate fireworks night.

Deathraystare · 06/11/2022 08:24

@FestivelyScent

Absolutely! Warm days are nice but those too hot days!! Glad to be able to wear Mitsouko at last!!

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 06/11/2022 11:33

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 06/11/2022 00:17

SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle. I bloody hate fireworks night.

Lots of them here last night (and Friday night and no doubt tonight too...)

No sotd yet as I've been cleaning.

Feel quite grotty...virus I think. Uergh.

Deathraystare · 06/11/2022 12:23

Today's SOTD is Dior's Hypnotic Poison. Thanks to some Mumsnetters I found out there is an almond scent to it. Despite not really being a 'foodie fumer' I absolutely love the almondy smell!

Pigeon31 · 06/11/2022 15:59

Sotd: sample b from the Oud box. This is quite cost.

I noticed Aldi have a few dupes in, not sure what they are dupes of

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 06/11/2022 17:23

Aaaaand the fireworks gave begun again 🙄
Sote pp mmm btf

CorneliaStreet · 06/11/2022 18:06

SOTD Laboratory Perfumes Amber. It’s unisex but smells pretty masculine to me. I might try layering it with something a bit sweeter next time.

FestivelyScent · 07/11/2022 00:20

Hope you feel better soon @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton There's a lot going around atm.

We've had fireworks around the neighbourhood here every night since the beginning of Diwali - which must be two weeks ago now! It is a bit relentless, and I feel sorry for the scared pets.

SOTN is Amber Absolute.
