The Friendly Perfumistas Thread 36 - Cuddling Sweaty Deer Into a New Season! 😉

[FestivelyScent]

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! 😊

Best of luck with your appointment @FestivelyScent.

SOTD Hermes Un Jardin Sur le Nil

Positive vibes winging your way from here @FestivelyScent hope your appointment goes well.

SOTD my TK Maxx find, Miller Harris Fumée d'Alexandrie.

Thank you! @Jackydaytona @corneliastreet @DramaAlpaca

Appointment went smoothly and I have been prescribed an anti CGRP injection called Aimovig to take monthly, as a trial. Pleased there is something new to try, but stupidly made the mistake of googling the reviews for aimovig on drugs.com and many of the reviews have scared me silly, although I think some reviewers must surely have exaggerated the adverse effects. Have closed that tab and walked away, as I will be worrying myself constantly until the medicine arrives.

SOTD was Violet Ida.

I took it for a few months @festivelyscent
Game changer for me

That bodes well @Jackydaytona (and am glad you've found some relief 😊) I'm really desperate for something to work, as migraines are ruling my life atm. I yearn for a few days completely free of brain fog and pain, but all the tablets I've tried either don't help or have intolerable side effects. So, 🤞.

SOTN is Miss Dior Originale.

I lost you all - hello! SOTD Byredo Gypsy Water.

Does anyone here know what happened to The Different Company? Is that still around? I've been trying to find their Sel De Vetiver, but no luck so far?

Sotd avon attraction

SOTD was J’Adore. SOTE is Replica Coffee Break.

Has anyone tried anything from 7 Virtues? I like the sound of Vanilla Woods, was considering a sample set.

Sorry @ChardonnaysBeastlyCat, I’m not sure about The Different Company. They still seem to have a French website but maybe that fragrance is discontinued. Hope you find a bottle somewhere.

Thanks!

It was pretty much everywhere, Selfridges, Liberty, I think, but it's all gone, now.

SOTN is Ambre Orient, for comfort, as it's been an up and down sort of day, and I can't wait for bed and to start fresh tomorrow. 😴

CorneliaStreet - I enjoyed one of the 7 Virtues scents, but it's been a while! I like what the company stands for, so it is money well spent.

My SOTD is White Tea, by Elizabeth Arden. It's been my go-to daytime summer fragrance.

SOTD La Fumee d'Alexandrie again.

SOTE Dyptique sample on each wrist - Fleur de Peau and L'Eau Capitale. I like both.

My Diptyque present to myself arrived yesterday, so I was in Trente-Quatre most of the day. Divine, and i smelled sophisticated and Parisienne, even when I was building a wooden compost bin in the drizzle 😆

The packaging was something else as well. Gorgeous.

Also had samples of eau papier and eau moheli.

Was in a rush as thought I would be late to work (but was on time! Yay me!).
So relied on a French Eau de Cologne (has Rose, Geranium and Ylang as well as the usual suspects).

I haven't tried anything from 7 Virtues but just to say I was eyeing up the sample set also...

sotd: shay and blue dandelion fig

SOTD Ealing Green. Love the dry down on this one.

SOTD NRFH.

SOTN is Samsara.

Sote 4160tuesdays fluffy lemon top
This is AMAZING spritzed into Bath water 💕

SOTN is Ambre Orient for warmth, because even in this sweatbox flat, the temperatures are definitely cooler than they have been.

At Saltburn by the sea today but sadly forgot my sample of 4160tuesdays Saltburn driftwood:(
Sotd 4160tuesdays SSOTPE

SOTD Histoires de Parfum 1725 for comfort

SOTD Chanel 19 for a smear test. 🙄 Yesterday was MH L’air de Rien for Jane Birkin.
