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! 😊

Long time lurker, first time poster (in here, at least)
I have just ordered a bunch of samples off the back of this thread, so you guys might not be great for my bank balance!
SOTD is MM Replica Lazy Sunday Morning

@Pigeon31 Gallivant Gdansk is absolutely gorgeous, definitely on my list to get.

SOTD was Gallivant Tel Aviv. This, Los Angeles and Gdańsk are my favourites from the line, though Naples and Istanbul are good too.

I have Istanbul too
Tel aviv is also rather nice
I've just ordered 4160tuesdays centrepiece 😀

Sending best wishes to the Perfumistas who are poorly or otherwise struggling with difficult things .

Love L'Elephant @TakeYourHatOffBoy - milky cardamon. I need a full bottle!

@Chevyimpala67 Centrepiece is also a bit milky (guess that's the ice cream note?).

I guess they have a kulfi vibe in common?

Yes @Whiteclaw, welcome, but proceed with caution. Once you are down the rabbit hole that's it. You'll be eating beans for weeks at a time in order to maintain your habit.

Welcome to the nicest corner of the Internet @Whiteclaw 👋😊

Joining in the Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant love @TakeYourHatOffBoy I find it so comforting and a perfect spiced vanilla for autumn/winter. It's definitely a cosy favourite for me. Sadly it irritates my migraines a bit, so had to lay off this past year.

I must investigate Gallivant.

SOTN is No5.

Sotd 4160tuesdays SSOTPE

SOTN is Ambre Orient.

Sotd avon little black dress 👗

SOTD is Molecule 1 layered with Chanel 19

Today’s scent is Christian Louboutin’s Loubidoo from a deluxe sample, which is such a nice surprise. Light, fresh but not astringent, very pretty and feminine and Spring. I looked it up, and the full size bottle has a super cute cat holding a lipstick on the bottle top, and I really wish I didn’t know that as it’s deadly expensive. 🙈

I’ve had a bad cold which has affected my sense of smell. It’s been a bit like the scent equivalent of looking at something through opaque glass. Today it’s finally (nearly) back to normal, so really enjoying SOTD 4160T Rosa Ribes, a lovely soft, rosy, chypre.

SOTD Chopard Iris Malika. Just a free sample I was sent with something else, but I like it - it has a lovely, powdery dry down.

SOTN is No5.

I have to contradict the Jungle L'Elephant love - I blind bought it and hate it

SOTD POAL, just beautiful.

@AprilLady I love Rosa Ribes too.

Hoping all this posts, getting to the stage in the thread when I can't

I like Rosa Ribes a lot.

I tried a decant of POAL and thought it was harsh and not very nice. Wondering is that was not the real deal?

SotD will be Burg Rose so I can float around in a perfect bubble of gentle opulence.

SOTD is Chanel 19.

My husband is turning 40 in couple of weeks. I ve booked him a perfume making workshop through Bloom perfumery and then lunch in Covent Garden. He is big into fragrances so hoping he ll love it!

Ohhh, I LOVE Bloom @IrisApfelRocks! What a fab present, hope he enjoys it.

POAL was a very very slow burn for me, but I really do adore it now. I struggle with a lot of the Malle line, but I finally understand why this one gets so much love.

SOTD Nuxe Prodigeuse - the oil followed by the perfume. It's more of a summer scent really but the sun is actually out today so I'm manifesting 😁

I found my SJP Lovely body mist and put it on today. Lovely light scent but not Uber sweet like most stuff around nowadays!

Sotd avon little black dress again

SOTD L'Occitane Jasmin Immortelle Neroli.

How thrilling @IrisApfelRocks That sounds the most thoughtful and fun present. A real treat for a fragrance fanatic. 😊

It seems I wrote off our blossom trees prematurely. We are now being treated to a glorious display of blooms right outside the window and through the street. A short-lived but beautiful spectacle. 🌸🌸🌸

SOTN shortly will be Ambre Orient. It was sunny-wish here today, but so, so cold. Especially in the wind. I'm very glad of the heated throw. 🌸🌷

J.LO one. Is very niiiccce.

SOTD is Robert Piguet Visa

SOTD is Alaia Paris. I don't really get the leather in this - for me it's a warm, woody violet that just feels wonderfully calm and chic.
