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! 😊

Wearing Hermes Twilly d'Hermes. A purse size purse spray and it is in a little orange bag that I can find at the bottom of my black bag!!

I love Twilly @Deathraystare and have just a few sprays left in a bottle. I'm trying not to buy any more perfume for a while so will have to be sparing of it!

SOTD is another Hermes - Eau de Rhubarbe which I absolutely adore but lasts about 30 seconds before I can no longer detect it any more 😫

Good morning, would love to join your gang, have fallen down fragrance rabbit hole. Am at buy so many samples that I could have bought a full bottle stage. Today I will be trying one of the DS and Durga Greatest Hits Vol. 1. So far I loved the Debaser fig one inspired by The Pixies. Asked DH to have a sniff and name that song, complete fail.

SOTD is 4160Tuesdays Burnt Cedar Rainbow Doves. I like it but can't work out if it's really as subtle as I'm smelling it or if I'm anosmic to part of it!

@Magpiecomplex I'm in two minds about Burnt Cedar Rainbow Doves. I so want to like it, but the sugared almond thing it has going on just ruins it for me, sadly. Without that note it'd be amazing.

Tonight I'm wearing The Darkest Bloom, also by 4160T. This one I like, very much.

@DramaAlpaca it's the sugared almonds that I like in particular! Although Darkest Bloom does sound good. How loud is it?

@Magpiecomplex it's got a strong, woody, floral thing going on, with a really deep, rich blackcurrant note. Yes, it's quite loud! For me, very much an evening scent.

SOTD is M&S Soft Iris.

SOTD is Next Just Pink. Not as sweet and girly as I thought. Thank Goodness. Very pleased Next are doing their purse sprays for a fiver!! I got Eau de Nude, JUut Pink, Cashmere and another that starts with D ..Define???

Thanks @DramaAlpaca. SOTD is Cool Water, moving across to lighter scents as we (theoretically) get closer to summer!

SOTD MMM Untitled - this bottle is old (not sure they even make this now?) and I feel like it’s a bit shrieky compared with when I last wore it in spring/summer last year. It’s always been stored in the box so maybe it’s just me.

SOTD Via Camerelle by Carthusia. It's very light, and the jasmine comes through enough that I can only wear it in hot and sunny weather otherwise it feels sickly, but it's very pleasant.

SOTD: LBTY Maze which I got a sample of in my Liberty Beauty Drop box.
It starts off very fresh & citrusy but after a few hours of wearing it just smells like cheap air freshener on me.
It's being rehomed or going in the bin.

SOTD is Penhaligons Luna. Can't beat it when I'm feeling assertive!

SOTD JM Bluebell. I’m hammering this just now because I probably won’t reach for it much once we get into summer. I had Heeley Sel Marin on for the first time this year at the weekend when the sun came out ☀️

Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday. I’m wearing Delina La Rosee today. It’s a fresh, light rose. Perfect for a sunny Sunday.

SOTD is a tester of 4160Tuesdays Meet Me On The Corner. I love it, it's a sharp citrus chypre, but it disappears on me almost immediately. Very short lived even for citrus.

I tried Chloe atelier de fleurs cedrus yesterday. Absolutely exquisite and would be perfect for summer, but so short lived alas. I won’t spend over a hundred pounds on something so ephemeral.

In other news, Hermes 24 Faubourg is back in the shops - they must have resolved their bottle supply issue.

Quick question please: which Iso E Super do you recommend? My Molecule 01 is about to run out and I'd prefer a cheaper option, if there's no great difference in product.

Just bumping this thread as I'd be rather sad if the club died a death!

Hello, thanks for bumping @Puppylucky - where is everyone? SOTD was Lush Karma,and SOTD JM Wood Sage and Sea Salt.

Penhaligons Castile today for a trip into town. I have a feeling they might have discontinued it.

Edited to add, No, they haven't discontinued it! But the website spells it Castille which presumably is why I couldn't find it 🤔

SOTD Perfume Parlour dupe of Q by D&G - summery musky citrus but not much staying power

SOTD Le Labo Lavender sample. Oh I love this! It’s very £ though.

SsOTD here were Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance and JPG Divine, both very solar so perfect for warm sunny weather ☀️

SOTD is Guerlain Pamplelune, I'm hitting the citrus hard at the moment!
