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! 😊

SOTD is 4160 Tuesdays Burnt Cedar Rainbow Doves

SOTD YSL Libre

Back to Penhaligons The Dandy today

SOTD Glossier You.

SOTD Penhaligons Juniper Sling. It feels like autumn has arrived here today.

SOTD trying out ånd Bean, after PPs mentioned it. Very nice indeed!

SOTD MMM By The Fireplace - first outing for autumn/winter 2024.

SOTD ( embarrassed to admit!) Victorias Secret Bombshell Oud. It bears a faint resemblance to my beloved discontinued Estée Lauder Sensuous Noir.

If anyone knows a classier longer lasting dupe, please let me know!

Not SOTD but recently tested Elizabeth Taylor, White Diamonds.

I didn't think it would be for me but I loved it & thought it suited an Autumn day. The sandalwood in the dry down smells wonderful.

Trying out ånd Sånd today. It reminds me very strongly of an old Lush bath melt called, I think, Ceridwen's Cauldron. Bit sweet for me, I think.

SOTD Diptyque Eau Papier. I am waiting on a full bottle of Le Labo Lavande 31 being delivered (I got a payrise so it was a treat) and can’t wait.

Its very autumnal here today so I've got out my seasonal favourite "Up The Apple & Pears" by 4160 Tuesdays

Agree it'sva proper autumn feeling today!

SOTD Molton Brown Rose Dunes

SOTD is Penhaligons The Dandy again

And 4160 Tuesdays Burnt Cedar Rainbow Doves today. I took a punt on a bottle of their Aqua Tofana, which arrived today. Smells gorgeous in the bottle but it will clash horribly with today's SOTD so I shall have to wait to try it properly.

SOTD: Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple

Got this in my Liberty Beauty Drop box.
I really like it as it's got a very strong cedar note (I love cedar) & it's got great longevity.

Edit: spelling

SOTD Glossier You. I was just at the end of my bottle and DP surprised me with a new one in the post yesterday (he’s away with work). I’m interested in trying their new scents, might ask for one for Christmas.

SOTD Avon Timeless. Never tire of it.

SOTD Byredo Bibliotheque. First airing of the season, love it.

Penhaligons Luna today

Aesop Marrakech today. Lucky person sitting next to me at football ⚽️

Hi, I posted this on SOTD thread after a break from MN and someone kindly linked this for me! Hello to all

De-lurking to ask if this is related to previous MN Perfumistas (or was it MN Fragrantistas?) threads. I used to be on them for years and years but fell off due to real life going pear shaped. Are those threads still going? I can't see anything in S and B.

My memory is patchy but I can still remember some posters,and don't know if anyone is still here under name changes or the original threads are still going? I can't remember full names but I remember BattleAxe, Judy and Horses(?) and whoever used to wear By The Fireplace all the time as we swapped some in real life, and lots of other posters but not their names. Bloody hell, just worked out it must have been pre 2020. I'm regaining a small sense of smell (ironically it wasn't Covid ) and trying to pick up my life again so it would be lovely to re-connect.

SOTD is the perfume parlour dupe of Neroli Portofino in a completely pointless attempt to hang onto a none existent Summer. Also my A/W perfumes are still boxed up so it'll be odd to unbox that!

Oh, today’s SOTD is Fire by Mary Greenwell. I remember when these came out and were popular on the thread (I am not googling how long ago that was as it’ll be terrifying!) I’m sad this is now discontinued, and Plum which I love more than Fire so am eking out sparingly.

Today it’s going to be By The Fireplace.
