SOTD Karen Timson Rosa de Rio. I like the citrus notes in this, they bring a lovely freshness to the rose.

FestivelyScent · 15/05/2023 23:02

SOTN is Miss Dior Originale, because it's fresh and spring-y.

SOTD Berber Blonde, Sana Jardin. My sister recently bought it for me and I love it.

Alazne58 · 16/05/2023 07:38

SOTD Touch of Woman - La Rive

Deathraystare · 16/05/2023 11:29

Samsara again. It is in my bag and did not have time to change it. Still... nice enough!

Awful day.
Rose for comfort. Started with Rose L'Extase - sweet, deep jammy rose.
Then moved onto Theo Fennell - huge dirty cumin rose, settles into a very unusual smooth, warm but edgy animalic rose.

SOTD Jasmin Immortelle Neroli -L'Occitane

FestivelyScent · 16/05/2023 22:56

Hope tomorrow is better for you @alltheevennumbers 💐

SOTN is No5.

SOTN Nubian Musk by Sana Jardin (working my way through the Discovery Set). Astonishingly animalic - like cuddling a sweaty deer - then softening into something powdery and beguiling. Lovely!

TakeYourHatOffBoy · 17/05/2023 09:03

Hope you're OK @alltheevennumbers x

SOTD is Orangers en fleurs by Houbigant. Gorgeous sunny day, although deceptively chilly I now realise having left the house without a coat...

Alazne58 · 17/05/2023 11:41

SOTD Violet Blossom - ZARA

DramaAlpaca · 17/05/2023 15:06

Sending best wishes @alltheevennumbers

I love Theo Fennell too, not the opening so much but the drydown is stunning.

SOTD yesterday was Diorissimo. I forgot that it just doesn't suit my skin and is really sharp on me. I managed to tone it down a bit with a spray or two of Ealing Green, which helped, but I regretted putting it on.

SOTD is the cheap & cheerful M&S Sandalwood one.

Deathraystare · 17/05/2023 16:07

SOTD: Femme by Rochas

Whiteclaw · 17/05/2023 16:29

SOTD yesterday was Elizabeth Arden White Tea. I bought it after someone came in for an interview a few years ago and she smelled amazing, so I asked her what it was. She didn’t get the job, but I still remember her because of the lovely perfume!

SOTD today is Ghost, I found it in a drawer after forgetting I had it.

Well, what an honour that would be Grin

And yes, this place is a safe, pleasant little respite from... well, everything else really!

SOTD/E Chevrefeuille, Monasterie Notre-Dame

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 17/05/2023 23:41

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque. I love this so much but would really like to be in some more spring-y scents. It’s barely been double figures here this year 😡

Love this so much!! Can't believe I missed this comment earlier. Nice one @VonThorn

sotd: ormonde jayne woman -- I forgot I had a sample of this. Today I'm loving it - pretty sure last time I tried it I thought it was a bit too powdery/ violet for me, but really getting the heady green hemlock today.

Nose, why are you so different on different days? :)

mirages08 · 18/05/2023 11:17

Sotd zara femme
I think this is supposed to be a dupe? Not sure of what though
Pleasant scent
Got this and femme noir (50ml each) for £9 on ebay! 😀
