Sotd 4160tuesdays SSOTPE
I'm on a diet and am hungry and furious all the time :(

Not currently wearing any perfume. Might spray some on when I get home from volunteering later.

Miller Harris Fleur du matin is Sotd.
I need something sharp & invigorating this morning as workmen were fixing a water leak all night, whilst being very chatty, right in front of my house.

DramaAlpaca · 04/05/2023 22:34

SOTD Replica Lazy Sunday Morning, even though it's Thursday Confused Nice light scent for a doctors appointment.

SOTD Amberama, 4160T, warm and snuggly for a chilly, damp evening.

Need something assertive for School in the morning - any suggestions?

Alienbigcat45 · 04/05/2023 22:54

SOTD Imperial Emerald by Merchant of Venice. It's a 4ml tester from an old Perfume Society box. I was rather worried I'd over perfumed as this is huge on me, 15 hours later it's still going strong. Imagine an overbearing Duchess from a P. G Wodehouse, that's what I smell like. @alltheevennumbers It's definitely assertive but maybe not in the way you want.

Nipped up to London yesterday to see the decorations for the Coronation on Saturday. Took a (very slow) stroll up the Mall, looking at all the flags fluttering in the breeze and the new greenness of St James's Park in spring, and then along Whitehall to Westminster Abbey. It was lovely taking in the festive atmosphere. When we reached the Abbey, we realised we'd inadvertently walked the entire length of the Coronation procession! All looked beautiful and grand in the bright, warm sun. ☀️

Imperial Emerald sounds fantastic fun @Alienbigcat45 😊

SOTN Tuesday was Shalimar, yesterday was No5, and today it's No19.

Overbearing Duchess is EXACTLY what is needed.😁

alltheevennumbers · 05/05/2023 08:32

Not sure what I have got to hand in 'overbearing Duchess class'?

First?
Coromandel (sorry my lovely)?

I think Estee lauder knowing would be a good shout :)

@alltheevennumbers hope it went well at the school and that you were armoured with scent. SOTD Iris Malikhan - Maison Crivelli

No - I bottled it and went with a more placatory Les Nuits D'Hadrien. Greatest citrus (amber) of all time - clean smelling and comforting, amazing longevity. All is well in the universe when you wear this.

Gold - Amouage is my coronation perfume👑
What are you all wearing on this historical occasion?
Royalist or Republican ...

Alienbigcat45 · 06/05/2023 12:25

SOTD La liturgy des heures- Jovoy. I'm not watching the coronation but I do like the smell of an old church.

AprilLady · 06/05/2023 13:33

Watching the coronation wearing Chanel Coromandel.

alltheevennumbers · 06/05/2023 13:42

Watching the coronation wearing Chanel Coromandel.

Very regal @AprilLady!

Am wondering vaguely about Citizen Queen?

FestivelyScent · 06/05/2023 23:55

Ooh Coromandel sounds perfect for Coronation watching, but sadly aggravates my migraines atm.

I would LOVE to get a sniff of the holy oil used to anoint the King, the ingredients sound gorgeous: rose cinnamon, jasmine, amber, orange blossom, sesame and benzoin. And they probably will have used precious and expensive extracts, too.

SOTN for Coronation day is Ambre Orient, which smells suitably regal and rich, but also comforting. 👑

Lolita Lempicka Lolitaland, a cheap thrill but got a few compliments this week, so wanted to wear it today.

FestivelyScent · 07/05/2023 23:02

SOTN is No19, for watching the Coronation Concert. Those lightshows always mesmerise me. 👑
