The Friendly Perfumistas Thread 35 - ❄️ ☃️ Winter may be here, but our scents will keep us warm!

[FestivelyScent]

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! 😊

That sounds very scary @Cantonet, hope you’re feeling ok now.

Bloody hell @Cantonet you don't need perfume, you need a stiff drink! Hope you're ok, that sounds terrifying.

SOTD is Le Labo Santal again.

Thank you.
I would have had a large brandy if it hadn't had been 10am. Then I got an email from ds's school to say they might close early. Hell's bells, I thought I was going to have to venture out again. ...
Hopefully he can get a lift home 🙂

Thank goodness you're OK @Cantonet, how scary!

SOTD is Angel. I deliberately missed this when it came out, assuming I'd hate it but I tried it recently and it's amazing on my skin. I got complimented on it earlier.

Oh blimey @Cantonet 😳
Take care x

Goodness, that's sounds absolutely terrifying @Cantonet Made my heart rate increase just reading it. Glad you're safe at home now.

SOTD 40160 TUESDAYS rubharb and Custard.

Surprisingly more "adult" than I'd anticipated. Very fun

SOTN is Shalimar. ❄️

SOTD is JHAG Metal Chypre, the iris note in this is lovely

Hello,

I have a 4160 Tuesdays selection set. First time buying from them. I haven't decided today's scent yet but it might be above the Chocolate Shop.

SOTD L’Ombre dans L’eau

I chose above the chocolate shop. I am WFH today I think it would be a bit much for the office. Its very yummy. A kind of grown up dirty chocolate smell.

Zara wonder rose

SOTD Penhaligons Empressa, just found a 15ml bottle of it I’d forgotten about.

Hello all. SOTD is Van Cleef and Arpels Precious Oud. I love it. It reminds me of a body oil I used to have from Mauli.

I rather like van Cleef and arpels oud blanc

Welcome to the thread @smellyflowers 👋😊

SOTN is Shalimar. We do not have the snow seen in some parts of the country, but it was bitterly cold out there today. ❄️

Hello!

Today's scent is PDM Oriana. Initial spray - yes very love don't be shyesque but as soon as it dries down its nothing like it. Much more spicey and more suitable for officewear as less in ya face.

Currently working my way though samples - I like to get them for Christmas etc

I was on the thread for a little while and then dropped off. I'm not great at consistency!

I got a free Gypsy Water sample in my Space NK delivery today and really like it. Seems like a perfect spring scent so am off to check out the PP version as not in a position to splurge at the moment.

I came on to ask about everyone's recommendations for perfect summer holiday scents.

I'm going to Sri Lanka next month so want something that suits a humid exotic kind of feel.

I already have, and love, Bronze Goddess.

I'd like something good at bringing a freshness and then something opposite which smells like that humid, exotic, languid holiday vibe.

Any thoughts?

SOTD FM Promise. Decidedly not office safe, you definitely need to like Rose Ouds to wear this, fortunately I do.

Ormonde Jayne has fantastic scents that I love in summer, Champaca, Frangipani, Qi, Osmanthus are all fab. Atelier Cologne as well, most have a lovely fresh citrus vibe to them (Orange Sanguine, Pomelo Paradis, but also the green ones like Trefle Pur).

I'm sampling Zoologist Sacred Scarab.

For humid weather 4160tuesdays SSOTPE is perfect imo

I’m trying Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper today. It’s very rosy and I also get patchouli and some spiciness (presumably the pink pepper). It’s pretty strong. I’m not quite sure if I like it or not - I’m always a bit iffy about rose scents but I do quite like a rose/patchouli mix.

@InsomniacVampire I recommend trying the new OJ Sakura - a bit like Ostmanthus and a really love spring scent.
