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! 😊

Hi all, SOTD is Hammersmith Tea and Biscuits. I think I'm going for a FB of this, perhaps along with Oakmossery. It 's been a shit week at work, I've not left the house since Sunday and I damn well.deserve a treat!

having said that, are there any 4160T codes around at the moment? 😉

@wheresmymojo favourite fresh summer scents are good old Philosykos (although you need the EDP as the EDT lasts 2 mins) and L'ombre dans l'eau (blackcurrant leaf and rose after a summer downpour) both from Diptyque. Also Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien which is just about the only 'proper' citrus I can wear. I also love Entre ciel et mer (the smell of beachy, sunkissed skin) and Bois naufrage (salty, sweetish driftwood) by Pierre Guillaume, and Rhubarb and Citrus from 4160T.

Hello! House hunting today and I wanted to feel cosy but kick ass so my SOTD is Rehab. I love the lavender note and although it doesn't last long on my skin the dry down on clothes is lovely so I keep sniffing my wrist.

SotD Fleur de Portofino. Bit nippy for this in truth so going back to L'Occitane Ambre tonight. Perfect cosy amber for PJs and an open fire on a cold night.

Has anyone tried Phlur- missing person?

SOTN is Amber Absolute.

Morning All

Have just seen that Sarah Mc/Miss B's book is on the TK Maxx website this morning.

SOTD is Killian Love don't be shy

SOTD OJ Sakura

SOTD Kayali Invite Only Amber. I like the cinnamon in this.

I love that one, and Princess.

SOTD PDM Oriana. I think if the voucher that came with it took money off the small bottle I'd get it. But it doesn't and I can't justify the big bottle.

SOTN is Ambre Narguile, for watching the last ep of Endeavour. Am quite sad it's finished. ❄️

SOTD Amouage Journey Woman. One of my favourites from the house

@smellyflowers at the risk of being enabling, you can get Oriana (big or small bottle) at Escentual with 25% off at the moment - code FRAGRANCE25 - ends tomorrow.

Was really 💔 wasn't it?
Sotd will be 4160tuesdays captured By Candlelight with added coffee ☕️

Ooh thank you!

SOTD - Kilian Princess

SOTD Tauer L’ADDM

That's one of the 4160s I really want to try - every time I look at getting a discovery set I get overwhelmed by the number of perfumes and can't pick 7 though :)

I had a free sample of One by Jennifer Lopez so trying that today and I really like it. Sandalwood and florals - would be a nice one for work because it's lasting quite well but is a skin scent.

SOTD Leather Jardin Zara

@Pigeon31 liked the JoLo sample too but it disappeared quite quickly on me.

What's Leather Jardin like @Alienbigcat45?

Thought their Red Temptation was good for the money if sadly misnamed given I couldn't detect much other than enormous cloud of woody moss. (Smelt like a 4160Ts moss).

SotD Prada Babylon - really like this. Tobacco isn't listed but it is very distinct in the opening and there is a heady, almost sweet resinousness, that is perfect for a damp cold day.

@alltheevennumbers A lot of the reviews of Leather Jardin say it smells 'vintage' but that doesn't mean much to me. On my skin it changes, I get rose, leather, wafts of something that reminds me of beeswax polish and slight soapiness.

Yes, it all felt so very final. But I think they tied everything up very well, and it was a thoughtful conclusion. 📺

SOTN is powdery Ambre Orient. 🐇
