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! 😊

@CorneliaStreet I have the PP dupe of that, it's gorgeous

Heeley sel marin?

Will have a look!
I have
IA falling into the sea
Clean reserve skin
Womanity
Olympea

Probably some others I've forgotten

Ck reveal is quite salty imo

SOTD Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower. I have a sample of this but don't love it. Its far too sweet / jasmine-y for me.
It's a pity because i don't like Portrait of a Lady either. Its too loud for me.

@ChamberLink have you tried l'eau d'hiver? It's much softer. I have it and love it but don't wear it very often not sure why. I also quite like Dans Tes Bras

SOTD Angel's Share - GORGEOUS

It is! :)

SOTD MMM Fireplace, perfect for this freezing weather.

Mumsnet is so slow, I have to press refresh, then walk away and do something else while it's loading. They must have changed something, and I wish they'd change it back again because this is beyond irritating. It's like using dial up Internet! 1999 anyone? 🙃🤣

Angel's Share is wonderful @yousmellnice

SOTN is Ambre Narguile - a celebration of cinnamon and stewed apples for a freezing day.

Bit late, but SOTD today was Cardinal by Zoologist (a free sample). Can't make my mind up if I like it or not, but it's interesting, I've enjoyed wearing it and it's lasted well. A good one for a cold day, I think.

I only have a sample - but I am so so tempted

It's one of my favourites but (whispers) I prefer the pp dupe version!
Sotd pp mmm replica by the fireplace

SOTD Kilian- love don't be shy (guess who has a set of samples haha)

Completely different animal to angel's share. I like it but think angel's share is more "grown up"

There's a dupe version? I had no idea!

From perfume Parlour

It's called wood fire

SOTD Kayali Amber. Can't really find the scent that 'fits just right' these last few days... even with all the bottles and ALL the samples... some too soft, some to harsh... whereas I keep craving warm but with a kick. The kind of perfume that makes you feel warm and cosy like by the fireplace and then a gush of cold air hits you from the side... Not sure it makes sense even to me :)

Thank you - interesting to know! Not heard of Perfume Parlour. (I know Alexandria Fragrances have a good reputation, but they're the only dupes I know anything about).

Oooh thank you!

I wear ck contradiction when I'm in that mood :)

Anyone got any nice ideas for a spring/summer perfume? I like oceany scents but not heavily fruity ones.

4160tuesdays Saltburn driftwood or wash me in the water

Wow even the names sound perfect. Thank you I have never tried a 4160 tuesdays

You can get a 7 vial sample set and then get money off a bottle :)

Hehehe I just noticed that :D
