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 Diptyque Eau Duelle.

CorneliaStreet · 12/12/2022 08:10

So icy here. I took my car out briefly yesterday and kept hitting black ice, very scary.

SOTD is Mon Guerlain.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 12/12/2022 08:22

I won't be going out today as ds2 is off school ill.
I wonder if the boiler engineer will turn up today?

DeepDown12 · 12/12/2022 10:44

Freezing cold here - heating is on but I am sitting in two sweaters and my fingers are still icy.

Burning my 'warm cashmere' Yankee candle and sporting Escentual Musk box sample D. Soft and warm scents (even if a touch masculine, this one).

AprilLady · 12/12/2022 11:05

@Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton hope your engineer comes. The earliest we could book an engineer is Friday - apparently unless you have babies or elderly people in the house, having no heating is not deemed an emergency.

SOTD is 4160 Tuesday’s Shazam. I haven’t work this for a while, not sure why, it’s lovely.

We are perfume twins today 😊

CorneliaStreet · 13/12/2022 20:13

SOTD is Miller Harris Scherzo. It’s really gorgeous but it’s another really strong one, can only do a couple of sprays on the wrists or I find it too overpowering.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 13/12/2022 20:31

Sote skylar vanilla sky

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 14/12/2022 11:27

Sticking with 4160Tuesdays, SOTD is Oakmossery.

FestivelyScent · 14/12/2022 13:04

I am spending the day waiting for parcels. 'Tis the season! 🎁🎁🎁😂

SOTD yesterday was Arabie, one of my Christmas favourites. Beautiful dried fruits, rich spices and resin, this is literally the smell of a cosy, nostalgic Christmas. 🎄Xmas Smile

SOTD interdit from the JL calendar. I didn’t like it at first but I’m trying to wear it a lot and it’s growing on me 😁

FestivelyScent · 14/12/2022 13:45

I'm also waiting on two @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton and a letter from the hospital. Then I've got more to come as I haven't finished my Christmas shopping yet. 🫢🫣Xmas Smile

Winter illnesses just seem to pile on top of each other, don't they. Hope your DS is feeling better soon. 💐

No one needs any more gifts!
Argh

CorneliaStreet · 14/12/2022 20:12

I think I’ve finished buying gifts for other people, but now I seem to be buying gifts for myself 😆 So far I’ve resisted the urge to buy perfume but I have just ordered myself a discounted Cowshed advent calendar - £40 reduced from £140, irresistible bargain!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/12/2022 20:21

So much snow here this week - we actually have a snow day tomorrow. SOTD Diptyque Eau Duelle.
