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! 😊

SOTD was JHAG Romantina. I really like this house.

SOTE was 4160 Tuesdays Lightning Ridge, a fascinating interesting chypre that I suspect is an acquired taste. I bloody love it, dark and interesting as it is.

SOTD Mon Guerlain.

I’m feeling the urge to try some new perfumes, might have to investigate some sample sets.

SOTD was Elie Saab, the original one.

SOTE is JPG Scandal, yummy honey/vanilla. I may need a back up bottle of this one, it's scrumptious. I love Classique and La Belle from JPG too.

SOTN is Amber Absolute, because I heard mention of ambergris while watching a murder mystery on TV. I don't have any uber expensive perfumes dosed with Ambergris - it's so rare I actually don't think I've ever smelled real thing. So this was the closest perfume in my collection, with all its salty, smoky marshiness, to the real thing. ❄️

SOTD Glossier You...
I'm in the mood for a lighter spring frag, but lacking inspiration.

Mum was sorting her fragrance collection this afternoon, and so of course we had to sniff everything, including some wonderful vintage powerhouses - Original Tabu, Vanderbilt, White Satin... I could go on and on. Felt very lucky. 😊

No SOTD, as I covered in spritzes from about a hundred different bottles! 🙃

How lovely @FestivelyScent that must've been wonderful to share that with your mum.

SOTD was Scandal again.

SOTE has been two little bottlesI picked up in Aldi today, one on each wrist. One is Tobacco & Vanilla so I'm sure that's a Tom Ford dupe, and it's... interesting. The other is Sandalwood and Jasmine, I'm not sure what it's a dupe of but it's soapy and quite pleasant. Not bad for €5.99 each.

Hello, Lovely Perfumistas. Have been MIA for about 10 threads having fallen down the special needs parenting rabbit hole (which I have to say isn't quite as fragrant...).

Hope everyone is doing OK? Will try and keep popping back in so I can slowly figure out who everyone is. Best wishes to all.
