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! 😊

@Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton

Me too! I must look for that as well. Love your name by the way!!

SOTD is B from the Escentual spice box. I liked it on first spray but now I can just smell peppery vegetables. Probably not for me!

Sotd pp killian angels share ❤️

SOTD Byredo Gypsy Water.

Hi @xalo, which Miller Harris samples did you get?

My favourite from them is Secret Gardenia, but I also like Lumiere Doree for the summer and Scherzo for nights out (that one doesn't get much of an outing though as I hardly ever get to go on nights out!).

@CorneliaStreet
Hi! I got La Feuille- more a summer one I think but gorgeously sharp and green tomatoey.
Violet Ida- warm and comfy
L'air de Rien - musky and sexy
Rose Silence- not really just a rose but other deliciousness as well.
I haven't tried Secret Gardenia but it gets good ratings. I love really unusual fragrances- usually unisex as well.

Not tried that but interested. SOTD Byredo Mojave Ghost. Delicious.

I think Lumière Dorée might be a bit citrussy and Scherzo a bit sweet.
I can only afford one!

@xalo I got one of the 3 x 10ml gift sets that they do, the one with Secret Gardenia, Rose Silence and Scherzo, so I could have more than one scent. I prefer minis to full bottles anyway as I like to switch around a lot. I think they do a more woody set, with Tea Tonique and a couple of others.

@CorneliaStreet
10ml bottles sound great I'll have a look thanks.

SOTD kyse zucchero filato
I smell like cotton candy

SOTD Mon Guerlain.

Just seen that there's a new Perfume Society discovery box called Feel Good Fragrances, looks good.

Sotd pp mmm btf

Can anyone recommend maison margiela dupes for by the fireplace/whispers in the library? Really intrigued but can't justify paying that kind of money for something that I may well not like (notoriously fussy)

Perfume Parlour
Wood fire 1874

Whispers in the Library is called soft speech

@Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton thanks so much, will give them a try

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque. I love the candle so bought a sample of the perfume. I think it's better as a candle.

SOTD Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy

SOTD 34 boulevard st Germain by Diptyque.

SOTD was 4160 Fluffy Lemon Top, SOTE is Armani Si.

Update as day has gone on I love it. Tricky decision as I want to ask for a perfume for Christmas.

Morning
Fab day in London yesterday to see a show. Lovely sunny day (unlike today!)
Passed so many perfume shops (floral steering, penhaligons etc) but no money and boys with me so didn't go in. The shops are all TINY though....
4160tuesdays is releasing freshly laundered and I'm sure one of you have it?
Is it very soapy? I like the sound of the musks...

Floral street

SOTD byredo Mojave Ghost. Still trying to decide!
