Looks like we ran out of space - welcome to a shiny new thread! (the 36th edition!)

Hope you approve of the title. 😁

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! 😊

Happy birthday @FestivelyScent, hope you’re having a lovely day.

SOTD Tommy Girl.

Happy birthday @FestivelyScent

SOTD JHAG Not A Perfume. I might as well not have bothered, I can't smell it at all!

Sote 4160tuesdays fluffy lemon top

This is sooooo smooth

@FestivelyScent Happy Birthday 🥳
SOTD Zara - Waterlily tea dress

FestivelyScent · 03/07/2023 23:19

Thank you for the Birthday wishes! 😊

Have had a lovely day and been spoilt rotten, so am feeling very grateful.

SOTD and SOTN, as I reapplied this evening, is Dancing with Strangers, my happy smell. It just makes me smile.

Glad to hear you had a lovely day @FestivelyScent 💐(some belated flowers for you!)

It's my birthday next Monday, so I guess that makes us Cancerian twins 😉

SOTD Kiehl's Musk as I was feeling rather uninspired.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 04/07/2023 16:20

Happy birthday for yesterday @FestivelyScent - I hope you had a wonderful day.

SOTD is the PP Gypsy Water dupe.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 04/07/2023 22:32

SOTD Chanel 19, and SOTN MH LDR. Not very seasonal but I have a cold and needed something a bit cosier.

FestivelyScent · 04/07/2023 23:24

Thank you! I did have a lovely day, with a delicious lunch and even a real homemade fruitcake as my birthday cake - my absolute favourite cake ever. 🎂

Yay for July birthdays @TakeYourHatOffBoy When I was small, I was always very pleased with my July birthday, as I worked out it was roughly equidistant with Christmas, so my presents came at equal intervals. I have become less mercenary as I've got older. 😂

Hope you feel better soon @Judystilldreamsofhorses Summer colds are rubbish. 💐

SOTN is Miss Dior Originale.

I've had to buy a new 4160tuesdays fluffy lemon top as I'm using it quite a bit atm
It's such a complex scent with a name that suggests frivolousness.
I find it very smooth. Buttery almost.
Today, however, I shall be wearing avon attraction as its a bit cooler here

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2023 18:26

SOTD Fluffy Lemon Top

SOTE still deciding!

FestivelyScent · 05/07/2023 23:03

SOTN is Samsara.

SOTD MH Violet Ida.

CorneliaStreet · 06/07/2023 09:07

SOTD Jo Loves Green Orange and Coriander, randomly plucked from the sample tin. It’s definitely herbal and fresh, but perhaps a bit too masculine for me. I’d prefer it if it had something a bit sweeter in the base maybe.

scentnsensibility · 06/07/2023 13:14

SOTD Ruth Mastenbroek - Dagian
Using up my tester box and this is much nicer in the warm weather.
Why is it than scents you don't like really linger? A week ago I sprayed a horrible farmyard oud I can still smell it in the room.

Magpiecomplex · 06/07/2023 17:23

Guerlain Pamplelune today. I might look up that one @CorneliaStreet, sounds like I'd like it!

Dusita Erewan. Unusual and rather lovely: a soft green vanilla but one that starts with a definite cocoa note. Doesn't really last though, unfortunately.

FestivelyScent · 07/07/2023 23:34

SOTN is Ambre Orient, for comfort.

SOTD Penhaligons Juniper Sling.

SOTD mmm bubble bath
Did a spin class and showered and wanted to feel clean so it was perfect

scentnsensibility · 08/07/2023 18:19

SOTD Ruth Mastenbroek - Marlin
Disappeared quite quickly on me

FestivelyScent · 08/07/2023 23:03

SOTN is No19, which I chose because I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear this evening. I think I'm a bit bored of my choices, so maybe a sample box is in order, but it will take me ages to narrow down a selection - there are so many things I want to try.

Magpiecomplex · 09/07/2023 18:19

SOTD is 4160Tuesdays Warm Sands Blue Ocean. I'm in two minds on this one - I like it, and it's very clever how it actually smells slightly salty, but do I really want to smell like I've spent the day at the beach?

bonfirebash · 09/07/2023 20:33

SOTD 4160 Tuesdays freshly laundered (I have the giant Samsung bottle!)
