Happy Sixth Day of Christmas! 🎄 Hope everyone is having a wonderful festive week. 🎁🎅🎀Xmas Smile

Twixmas and Christmas week have always been my favourite two weeks of the year. I can't believe tomorrow is NYE! Have been mostly relaxing, eating leftovers and watching Christmas TV & movies as am not quite feeling 100%. Have a Drs appt next week.

Sorry to hear about the cold @Judystilldreamsofhorses I had an awful Christmas cold last year, but seem to have avoided it this time around. Feel better soon. 💐

Hope the day improved @DeepDown12 💐

Hope you had a lovely time today @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton Xmas Smile

No SOTD these past few days - not feeling myself.

Ah yes, Chrimbo Limbo 😊
Had a few too many proseccos last night so early night for me

FestivelyScent · 30/12/2022 21:04

Haha! @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton I've always called it Twixmas but Crimbo Limbo is a perfect description! 🎅🎁🎄

Sleep well Xmas Smile

SOTD Femme by Rochas. I seem to have lost my Dior Hypnotic poison. I must look for it.

Pigeon31 · 31/12/2022 11:34

Crimbo limbo is genius!

It's OH's birthday today and he asked to go out for pizza (he really likes the expresso martinis they do in this particular place so am guessing there will be a few of those involved also ;) ).

sotd: narciso rodriguez pure musc (from the escentuals musk samples - I really like this one, am on a no buy for a couple of months though I think now ;) )

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 31/12/2022 11:47

My sotd is currently dettol as I'm cleaning :(
Later I shall be wearing 4160tuesdays shazam! So good at this time of year
Happy new year to you all xxx

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 31/12/2022 17:03

You know when you do a perfume audit and realise you have (cough) a few of the same? 🙄🤪
I've got 30mls of extra SSOTPE (extrait version) and 30mls of captured By Candlelight for sale amd a bottle of ck reveal for free if anyone is interested?

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 31/12/2022 19:55

Happy Hogmanay! Lang may yer lums reek!

SOTD MH Violet Ida.

Aidagreenwhistle · 31/12/2022 20:01

Does anyone know a dupe or similar perfume to Promesse by cacherel? It’s discontinued and I would love to find something similar.

Try euphoria by Calvin klein

Aidagreenwhistle · 31/12/2022 21:33

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton

thank you. I will try it!

DorisParchment · 01/01/2023 00:39

SOTE is Envol by Ted Lapidus, vintage 70s or 80s. Found a new bottle in my mother’s dressing table when she died. The spray is definitely old style. I think it’s discontinued, which is a pity.

CorneliaStreet · 01/01/2023 09:16

Happy New Year everyone! SOTE last night was Armani Si, nothing yet this morning as feeling a little sluggish 🙂

Pigeon31 · 01/01/2023 15:42

SOTD: Libre

Was up early and made some bread and a bolognaise sauce for this evening. That was probably the high productivity point of my day :) It's fair to say that no-booze January isn't happening here either.

pours another glass of wine I'm ridiculously happy that tomorrow is a bank holiday also.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 01/01/2023 17:17

Sote 4160tuesdays captured By Candlelight with added coffee ☕️

FestivelyScent · 01/01/2023 23:34

Happy New Year fragrant friends!! 🎉🎊🍾🎀Just popping in to wish a joyful, healthy and peaceful 2023 to you all. May it be filled with new adventures and bright horizons to light your path.

Hope everyone had a great day. Had a quiet NYE, but a lovely festive lunch (really a second Christmas dinner) for today. 🎄 Then the Masked Singer (it's weirdly addictive!) and the new James Bond on TV. Will maybe manage a slice of Christmas cake before bed. Xmas Smile

No SOTD, as still feeling rough.
