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! 😊

Sote my new avon attraction Game
Very nice gourmand
Thanks @MissBattleaxe

SOTD Vilhelm - Moon Carnival big white floral. I was finishing a tester and my DP is acting like he's been gassed.

SOTN is No5, again. I am stuck in a scented rut. 🌸

Morning all! SOTD is Connock Andiroba, which I think I got in an old Perfume Society box. It doesn't appear on Fragrantica so I can't check the notes properly, but it's supposedly the scent of a rainforest. I get a spicy citrus with a LOT of sandalwood. I usually love sandalwood but this is pretty full-on.

It reminds me of 4160T's Bodhi Language which is my yoga perfume (Captain Obvious, here) but is leaning a bit too masculine for me today. Would smell great on the right kind of bloke though

SOTN is Shalimar. 🌸

Very glad it’s finally Friday.

SOTD PDM Meliora. I’m not very good at describing scents, but to me this is a much better than average, sweet but not too sweet, rather grown up fruity floral which can be worn by us - ahem - older ladies. Really enjoying it today.

Private Collection Jasmine White Moss is my Sotd. I've just realised I haven't even switched over to my summer perfume rotation yet.
Nor my summer clothes sort out.
Do you think it's safe to do now?
It definitely feels milder here today.
I might feel a little bit reckless & ditch the Cashmere ....

Yesterday I enjoyed (vintage) Shalimar and Opium. Interestingly, Opium smelt more of a period piece than the Shalimar.

Today I am back in Si Le Parfum, but need to slow down, as it is discontinued!

Have just taken a punt on a couple of 100Bon cheapies.

Rather nice!

JLo One

SOTD Maison Crivelli Rose Saltifolia

SOTD is L'air de rien. Glorious gussety-ness

I'm sulking because there's still no bloody sun here. I didn't move to the beach for this!

🤣 love it
What a descriptor!

No sun here either, although it was definitely (slightly) warmer today, and I think the last frost has now passed. Looking warmer here tomorrow too, although I am still in vests and knitwear.

SOTN is No19, green and soft, for watching gardener's world, despite living in a flat with no private garden. 🌸

Freezing here too, it feels more like February.
SOTD Creamy Vanilla Crumble - a recent blind buy, it's lovely.

Was 19 degrees here earlier - typically I was with ds2 in the ooh Dr:(
It's rained since

No plans this BH except boring diy/household jobs

@Alienbigcat45 CVC is probably one of my desert island perfumes, i absolutely love it.

SOTD has been another 4160T - Ealing Green. Fizzy, sherbetty herbs, grass and sap. Perfect for a sunny spring day.

Hope your DS feels better soon @Chevyimpala67 💐

Typically, I only remembered the bank holiday after hearing it mentioned on the radio yesterday, so don't have anything special planned. At least it looks warm enough. 🌸

SOTN is No5. My brain seems to have completely shut down today, so I am more than ready for bed. 😴

@TakeYourHatOffBoyI love Ealing Green, must dig mine out, perfect for this weather as you say.

SOTD was Lady Vengeance. I might wear Shalimar to bed tonight.

Thanks x he's got a nasty cough virus thing :(
Sotd will be 4160tuesdays SSOTPE

I have to get out of the Burg Rose/Si Le Parfum groove, so SotM is Fruit de la Creativite, a cheapy Gres confection of leather and raspberries. It is very good for the money and the perfect leather for a spring morning.

@Chevyimpala67 that's the bug I've had. I just couldn't stop coughing. It really does linger. I hope your ds feels better soon.
I got a bit over excited yesterday & dragged out the sun lounger ( & my washing)& basked in the sun for all of 5 minutes. Then a big cloud blew over & it started to drizzle. So I did an abrupt reverse draggage of all & sundry 🤦🏼‍♀️
Reading about your favourite green perfumes reminded me of mine - Profumum Roma Ninfea - Grass, roses, water lilies & violets.

@Chevyimpala67 hope your DS feels better soon.

It’s quite pleasant and sunny today. SOTD Tauerville Rose Flash. A very lovely, jammy, strong rose scent.

Sticking with Gres, I've moved onto Cabaret. Which is a rose chypre that gets compared a lot to PoaL (but predated it by 8 years). I picked up a vintage bottle and found the opening a bit sour/metallic, but 20 mins in and it's a woody/musky beauty. It has a clarity/coherence that does remind me a bit of NR for Her (even if it doesn't smell the same),

Sorry you've had it @Cantonet
How are you now? X
He's really chesty and keeps spiking temps but nurse yesterday said it's viral so 🤷‍♀️
I'm cooking caramelised apples with blueberry compote with chopped nuts
Recipe suggests serving with Greek yoghurt 😩
I shall be serving it with extra thick double cream 😊
