The Friendly Perfumistas Thread 34 - 🍂 Autumn is Here & It's Time For Cosy Scents!

[FestivelyScent]

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! 😊

@whatausername Sounds interesting! Keep trying different combinations until you hit gold. I often wear more than one perfume at a time. I quite to spray a rose over a leather from time to time because that's how I roll! 😎

SOTD Kayali Amber... trying to go through my testers as between different discovery sets and Escentual boxes I completely neglected my actual bottles.

Sotd 4160tuesdays Shazam!

SOTD a liberal spraying of M&S Pink Pepper. Smells like Lancome La Vie est Belle. Or rather it's been long enough since I had a bottle of LVB that it smells like how I remember LVB 😛 definitely not got the sillage or potency of LVB though. Anyway, it's very sweet, a bit heady and I like it

SOTD Next Cashmere. I always forget I’ve got this and then remember how nice it is when I actually do get round to wearing it.

You've just reminded me how much I like this

SOTD was Opium, for returning unwanted Christmas presents and booking yet another eye test. Came home after dark and it was freezing! ❄️

I booked an eye test today!

Weather here very windy and rainy

@Chevyimpala67 🙌 😁 I love choosing new glasses, but find the actual eye tests a chore. This is my third test since November, fingers crossed they land on the correct prescription this time as I've had to return three pairs of glasses so far. 🤞

A very belated Happy New Year to the most fragrant corner of the internet! ⭐️🌻

I've been poleaxed since Xmas with flu and coughing and lung problems so it's nice to be getting back to normal.

I received a full-size JM Orange Bitters for Xmas (having only had a sample) which is fast becoming a favourite and some Paul Smith Rose. Both of them are making me look forward to spring!

Well, I got a nice surprise this morning! I got a lovely parcel from the owners of Le Jardin Retrouve!
I've bought a few things last year but wow...
What a fab company ❤️

Happy New year 🎉

SOTD is L'Occitane Rose Calisson bought on a whim in the sale. Not my usual style but digging it

SOTD 4160Tuesdays White Queen. Of all testers I got from them this is probably my favourite but still not fully 'sold' on it - there's just something too... harsh about it. But maybe I'm just in that kind of a mood?!

Yeah. I got that. It was the grapefruit for me

I've been a bit disappointed with the Jan joy box selection this year. Glad I didn't go for it tbh. Most of them are ones I've already tried. The only one that I'd be interested in getting is the Clouds one and I already have a bottle of that. I guess that's a good thing really. If they were all new perfumes I'd probably have been annoyed I didn't buy the box this time

Yeah

I didn't go for it this year for the same reason

Funnily enough, the clouds one is the only one I'd go for but I really don't need any more perfume....but 25% off!!! 🤣🤣

Ooh, free scented things sounds like a dream come true @Chevyimpala67 - what was in the parcel?

No SOTD as have been testing out a new migraine medication and feel like I've been sedated - was stuck on the sofa all day today and kept falling asleep! I'm living vicariously through your scented choices - they all sound fabulous.

@FestivelyScent

Ooh sorry you suffer with migraines. I don't think I ever had but got rotten headaches with my periods. Mind you I was often away from school with 'migraines'.

My brother came home from school early to hear the strains of 'lady Marmalade' belting out. The original by Labelle. For once he didn't tell on me!!!

Not sure what scent today. I have just got out the shower.

@FestivelyScent it was a candle and discovery set

Can I please join?
I adore perfume but don't know half as much about it as you all do!
For Christmas my wonderful dh bought me 250mls Tom Ford Santal Blush which I love ❤️ and its just as well as I'll probably be wearing it for the rest of my life with the size & cost of that bottle 😲
So I'm wearing that today..

I'm v interested in trying the Byredo scents but no stockist where I live. I've seen on their website that you can buy a set of testers & if you buy a full bottle within 4 weeks they deduct the cost of the testers from the full bottle price. This seems like a great idea to me so I'm thinking of trying that soon

Hello @ChamberLink. That is certainly a massive bottle of perfume! The tester sets with the cash back against purchase are great, though it can sometimes be a bit tricky narrowing it down to just one bottle to buy!

The weather is hideous here today, cold, wet and really windy. I was going to go the office but am working from home instead as I refuse to go outside.

SOTD is Mon Guerlain.
