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! 😊

My favourite lemony summer perfume Nuxe Le Matin de Possibles has been discontinued and I couldn't bring myself to buy my alternative Dior Homme Cologne. However I have bought new Nuxe one - Nuxe Neroli which I'm enjoying and it's surprisingly long lasting.

TakeYourHatOffBoy · 18/07/2023 14:24

I thought of wearing L'air de rien for Jane Birkin as well, @Judystilldreamsofhorses, but it's such a cold-weather scent for me that I couldn't quite face it!

SOTD is Darling Nikki (Vilhelm Parfumerie) from the Liberty Beauty Drop box. Really lovely but crappy longevity. It's a smoky, spicy citrus which I'd hoped would last longer given the notes but nope, two hours in and 'tis gone!

Ds has been wearing the Habit Rouge I bought him for his birthday - god it's DIVINE. I might have to nick some. Perhaps a bit mature for a 20-year-old but I'm trying to educate him on the classics Grin

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 18/07/2023 14:38

I’m in Scotland @TakeYourHatOffBoy - it is currently 15 degrees so plenty chilly enough!

Pigeon31 · 18/07/2023 17:27

sotd: 4160 tuesdays ealing green - this is a new one for me, I bought a small (15ml) bottle because I liked the sound of it, and also I was born in ealing :)

Sotd pp mmm replica whispers in the Library

FestivelyScent · 18/07/2023 23:19

SOTD was Violet Ida, for a surprisingly busy morning - it seemed to go from zero to one hundred just like that.

SOTN is Samsara. I'm more than ready for bed. 😴

SOTD Guerlain Spritueuse Double Vanille. God knows why; my hand just landed on it this morning. Cosy though.

Eagerly awaiting my ebay order of La Fille de Berlin (2x7.5ml bottles) which I've been meaning to replace for aaaaages. My sample ran out a couple of years ago and I've bought so much meh stuff since then when I really should have just gone for a second bottle of the Lutens. Such a fabulous sharp, clear rose, can't wait!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 19/07/2023 23:15

SOTD Chanel No 5. DP is away until Sunday and I have just stripped and changed the bed, excited for fresh sheets and No 5 in a massive middle of the bed starfish!

FestivelyScent · 19/07/2023 23:28

I get excited for fresh sheets too @Judystilldreamsofhorses One of life's little pleasures.

SOTN is Miss Dior Originale.

S J Parker Lovely body mist which sadly is trying to fight with my smelly trainers. I guess I should have put odour eaters in after the last wash. A bit worried about washing again as I think it dulled the black colour. Oh well I have other trainers.

TakeYourHatOffBoy · 21/07/2023 12:42

SOTD Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin. Absolutely gorgeous, even lovelier, richer and more complex than I remember. Keep sniffing myself Grin

FestivelyScent · 21/07/2023 23:31

SOTN is No5, as it's noticeably cooler here, and I may just be sitting under a blanket. I don't mind at all though, as hot summers are absolutely, definitely not my thing.

I'm now slathered in campfire marshmallow body creme 🍢🔥

FestivelyScent · 22/07/2023 22:38

We are thinking along the same lines @Jackydaytona There is a beautiful woody vanilla candle burning here, I'm under a blanket, and am about to watch something Christmassy. It feels like autumn! And I'm happy about that!

SOTD is Shazam. Spicy and cosy and perfect for this weather.

SOTD FM POAL - it’s chilly here too but I want summer!

DramaAlpaca · 23/07/2023 00:53

SOTD MH Powdered Veil, another fortunate TKMaxx find.

Alazne58 · 23/07/2023 08:20

SOTD Jasmin Perle de The - Fragonard , sample. Lovely perfume.

ThreeImaginaryBoys · 23/07/2023 10:52

Hello you lovely perfumistas. I've been off the thread for a while due to some challenging personal circumstances. I decided I need to take some comfort in the nicest corner of the internet.

SOTD is Jo Malone Wild Strawberry & Parsley.

scentnsensibility · 23/07/2023 11:44

@ThreeImaginaryBoys Sorry to hear that. Hope things are getting better for you now.
SOTD 4160 Tuesdays Hush Hush also chilly here, back to jumpers.
