Ooh, forgot to add - I've ordered some samples! Only two: Coromandel and Le Lion, but I'm very excited as I loved both when I tried them in Leeds. Both are perfect for this time of year! ❄️☃️

I only hope they come, I'd not heard of the website before. 🤞

SOTD is Le Labo Noir 29 for a grey and wet commute to the office.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 29/11/2022 08:54

I enjoyed wearing skylar vanilla sky yesterday so will wear it again today

What a grey day 🌂☁️

I'm trying out a sample of Prada Paradoxe today. It's another powerful, sweet white floral like L'Interdit. I actually quite like the scent but it's way too powerful for me - I've only put a little bit on my wrist and I can still smell it constantly three hours later. I think it would suffocate me if I sprayed it anywhere near my neck!

ferretface · 29/11/2022 10:53

Commodity Paper+ for me today!

Is it just me or does anyone else find the Penhaligon's online site ridiculously stupid and unusable?
They really need to seriously look at marketing and FB advertising.
It's as if they don't actually want to sell anything.

FestivelyScent · 29/11/2022 22:06

Very grey day here too, it felt nearly dark still at 9 am this morning!

SOTD is Ambre Narguile. Cosy and festive, and all the cinnamon!

It barely even gets light here in winter. Roll on the solstice.

Wait that is wrong, isn’t it? I mean the shortest day, then it’s on the up from there.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 30/11/2022 06:15

A few days ago I hovered over Shazam! whilst browsing after finishing the oud box, dithering what to buy…
Next thing you know I got an email offering a size upgrade for free 😎…I’m going to smell lovely today, lucky colleagues 😀

Sorry to hear about the bad day @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton Hope tomorrow is better, and that you've had a chance to put your feet up and relax this evening. 💐

You will definitely have smelled amazing in Shazam today @FormerlySpeckledyHen Xmas Smile

SOTD was J’Adore (my standard going to the office scent). SOTE is Prada Paradoxe. I think I like this but it’s so strong!

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 01/12/2022 20:24

Thank you @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton . I'm plodding along. Today was a good day - I went Christmas shopping to the next town and enjoyed seeing all the lights. Xmas Smile 🎄

It's both absolutely freezing and foggy out there tonight - a perfect winter day - I stupidly went out without my scarf and came home chilled through. ❄️☃️

SOTD was JHL. This smells like old Cinnabar and old Youth Dew mixed - gorgeous! And perfect with all its clove-y, orange-y spiciness for Christmas. 🎄

SOTN is Ambre Sultan. Xmas Smile
