Shay and Blue have a really good deal at the moment (2 x 10ml perfumes, 2 x 40ml handcream, 2 x perfume samples for £25) so SOTD is Dandelion Fig while I try to decide which perfumes I might want.

Anyone have any faves from this Shay and Blue?

Who produces Ambre Orient? Which perfume house please? It sounds lovely

CorneliaStreet · 09/08/2023 20:26

I was just looking at the TK Maxx website and there are a load of Miller Harris fragrances on there for about £30 if anyone’s interested.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 09/08/2023 20:31

SOTD Diptyque Eau Papier. Yesterday was FM Lipstick Rose 🌹

FestivelyScent · 09/08/2023 23:05

@EvelynBeatrice Perfume Parlour. It is a copy of Armarni Prive Ambre Orient, which is now discontinued, but was ££££ even when it was produced. It's a lovely warm, powdery-ambery-woody scent with a thyme opening, and super cheap too.

SOTN is Samsara.

Hello lovely perfumistas, I would be extremely grateful if anyone can find one or both of these perfumes please.
First is J&E Atkinson's aromatic fragrance vapo of Javanese cananga for women. I found some on eBay yesterday but my purchases were cancelled 😪.
The second is La Perla body silk, any incarnation but especially the body cream. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

FestivelyScent · 13/08/2023 23:00

SOTN is Ambre Orient, for comfort. Today has been one of those days. I've felt off and anxious all day and don't know why.

Can I hop onto your lovely thread please? Hope you are feeling more relaxed today FestivelyScent.

@CorneliaStreet Can I ask where you got your Arcania Rossa sample from please? I see Liberty’s sell the Viaggio in Italia perfumes but I can’t find anywhere in the UK who sell samples. I want to try them all! I might have to order from 50-ml in Italy. Has anyone ordered from them to the UK?

CorneliaStreet · 14/08/2023 09:48

Hi @FragranceAddict. I have a subscription to the Cohorted beauty box and the sample came in that this month. It’s very nice and really long lasting for a citrus perfume. I just had a look at the Labotorio Olfattivo site and they do a sample set of the four Viaggio perfumes, not sure if they ship to the UK but might be worth a look.

FragranceAddict · 14/08/2023 10:44

Thanks @CorneliaStreet I have looked at the Labotorio Olfattivo site but they don’t ship to the UK. I think I’ll try 50-ml. The Trustpilot reviews don’t look too bad and it has an actual shop in Italy.

Does anyone have any suggestions of any interesting Italian perfumes I could get samples of which we can’t get in the UK? I like citrus, rose, floral but am trying to widen my range too.

I am! Thank you @FragranceAddict Welcome to the most wonderful thread on mn. 😊👋

My new migraine injection was delivered today, and I'm strangely nervous about using it tomorrow. Something about injections feels so serious and permanent, but that's probably just me being silly.

FestivelyScent · 15/08/2023 23:02

SOTN is Samsara. I must motivate myself to order my samples. I keep saying this and then get distracted. I'm not bored with my current choices - I love them all, actually - but want some variety. Am easily paralysed by choice, though.
