Oops! Looks like we ran out of space on the last thread - I hope you all find your way over here.

Anyway, welcome fragrant friends to a shiny new thread!

As always, everyone is very welcome - we're most definitely open to Newbies. 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! 😊

I'm so sorry x
Wine 🍷 sounds good

I was on an interview panel today so needed something office friendly
Sotd pp mmm btf

Ugh, sounds rotten. Sorry to hear that. Wine may well help.

@TakeYourHatOffBoy I'm sorry you've had such a shitty day.
There's a lot of it about at the moment 😓

Sorry to hear that @TakeYourHatOffBoy That sounds a terribly tough day. 💐🍷

SOTN is Ambre Narguile. Every year I'm struck by how many perfumes I own named Amber this, that or the other. However, this is not a labdanum amber at all, but spicy stewed apples. ❄️

Sotd 4160tuesdays Shazam!
I've ordered a bottle of ck euphoria from ebay
And a bottle of attraction for her from avon
😬😃

@TakeYourHatOffBoy sorry you are having a difficult time.

SOTD Diptyque L’Ombre Dans L’Eau for WFH day.

I've just received my pp dupe of eau de gucci (now discontinued...why? Why???)
It's fab :)

SOTD was Mon Guerlain, SOTE is By the Fireplace. Cold and miserable here today so needed cosy scents.

@TakeYourHatOffBoy hope things work out x
SOTD MMM By the fireplace

SOTN is Shalimar. ❄️

Aaargh I rushed out this morning without thinking about perfume so it's going to be whatever I find I've got in my bag when I get to work.

Sotd pp eau de gucci
Fabulous!

Under My Skin from Francesca Bianchi

Turns out it was Ambre Narguile in my bag which suits me just fine.

SOTD unexpected joy Zara with Jo Malone. Amazing fragrance with very loud magnolia and neroli. I am loving this.

Woke up with awful chest pain early this morning, which was frightening - can't breathe or move my upper body without it hurting. GP says it's costochondritis and has prescribed strong painkillers. I have to go in tomorrow for a checkup.

So, today I've been stuck on the sofa trying to keep as still as possible all day.

SOTD is spritzings of Shalimar, as I need comfort.

Oh gosh, @FestivelyScent poor you, that sounds awful. I hope you start to feel better soon. Keep spraying that gorgeous, comforting Shalimar

SOTD replica funfair evening

@festivescents Hope you feel better soon 💐

SOTD is Nishane Hundred Silent Ways. It gets compared to Black Opium and I get the comparison but to me it's a more refined, peachy, and cleaner version. Beats BO hands down. Staying power as with all Nishanes is good. Easily lasts all day

Oh @FestivelyScent i hope you get some relief xx

Sotd pp eau de gucci to meet a friend for coffee ☕️

I am wearing a sample of Diptyque- Do Son today.

I'm not sure what I make of it. Has anyone else tried it?

Oh no @FestivelyScent that sounds very frightening. Hope you're feeling a bit better now? Glad that Shalimar helped you through!

SOTD is Lalique Velvet Plum. Not plummy at all but a lovely warm jumper kind of smell.

I like Do Son to sniff when I'm passing a bottle because I like Tuberose but it's a bit flat and one note on my skin. It's not tuberose like a Fracas tuberose, it's slightly more aquatic than that. I think it's instantly recognisable.

I bought a knock off perfume oil of it when I was in my candle making phase so I have a few diffusers that I use that in the house and the smell is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. I had a good Baies copy oil too. I think Diptique is quite easy to mimic because their smells are in the main not too complex.

Hope you’re feeling better today @FestivelyScent.

SOTD was Gallivant Tel Aviv. I love white florals with lighter, citrusy top notes at this time of year as they’re fresh but still have depth and warmth.
