@SwordBilledHummingbird hope it does the trick in raising your spirits. Mine is out for delivery too, hoping it gets here before I have to go out

wheresmyshoe · 17/10/2023 11:00

Very happy with this box, a real treat.

The perfume smells terrible on me - notes of hot petrol

listsandbudgets · 17/10/2023 11:38

Mine is here and I'm about to take a break from work, make a cup of coffee and open it up

ButDaddyILoveHim · 17/10/2023 11:46

Mine has just arrived

The perfume reminds me so much of something else I own, but I can't put my finger on what. Something from Penhaligon? I will probably end up gving it to ds, as it's fairly masculine on me and I have so much perfume that I really don't need another that I don't absolutely adore. The drydown is lovely though, I do like a good tobacco frag.

On another note, I so wish that perfume houses would do these mini bottles as standard. For perfume obsessives like me with a ridiculous number of bottles, less than 30mls is just right.

Looking forward to the Bader cream and the cuticle oil is perfect, non-greasy and absorbs brilliantly.

I love the smell of the perfume! It doesn’t smell like petrol on me but petrol was one of my pregnancy cravings. Really pleased as I need a new perfume and it’s a decent size.

PacificState · 17/10/2023 11:56

Very nice luxurious box but god that perfume, just no. Why must everything have that yucky gag-worthy top note?

Peridot1 · 17/10/2023 12:16

Mine just arrived. Quite like the contents although haven’t tried the perfume yet.

Probably could have done without yet another AB Rich Cream though!

listsandbudgets · 17/10/2023 12:23

Perfume haters send it this way I love it , it's settled on me like some kind of really good quality, old fashioned soap - I know that dosen't quite explain it but maybe someone understands!! It would be nice to have something a bit more feminine another time though.

Very pleased with everything else though the cuticle oil may go to DD as manicures aren't really my thing. The mirror is so pretty and I've never actually tried Augustinas Bader so its a new one for me.

But why the mask -again? I mean I quite like them but we do seem to get a lot of them

hettiethehare · 17/10/2023 12:31

I think I've got a different box to everyone else - this is my least favourite to date!

Perfume is ok - but I don't tend to wear perfume very much so I have a massive stockpile. I don't like the mirror - feels cheap. Cuticle oil - useful and probably the best thing in the box for me. Another bloody sheet mask. More AB cream.

But skincare is my absolute favourite, so that's probably why I'm not as keen on this one.

LinaCavalieri · 17/10/2023 12:49

For some reason my box is heading to my old address – despite the last two boxes coming to my new address... I haven't updated any details either... Has this happened to anyone else?!

EuniceLopril · 17/10/2023 12:51

Mine is out for delivery. Read the spoiler, on paper I should like the perfume. Great point upthread about offering fragrance in smaller sizes.

Growlybear83 · 17/10/2023 13:00

My box has just arrived and I'm really pleased with it. The perfume won't be one of my favourites but I get through loads of perfume and will definitely use it. I was surprised at getting such a good size. I like the little mirror and the only thing I won't use is the mask - I've built up quite a collection of masks now! And I've carefully opened up the box and turned it inside out so I've got a nice pretty little storage box.

BIossomtoes · 17/10/2023 13:05

This is the best box yet for me. I love the scent and really appreciate a decent sized bottle. I must be in the minority of people who has yet to try the AB cream and, at that price point, really hope I don’t like it! The cuticle oil is lovely and also a generous size and our little granddaughter will love the mirror. I’m happy.

EasterIssland · 17/10/2023 13:06

Mine is here. I’ll have 2 things up for sale if anyone wants the agustina or the perfum

EasterIssland · 17/10/2023 13:07

@listsandbudgets happy to sell you the perfume

JohnThorntonsOverbearingMother · 17/10/2023 13:21

I'm impressed with this box!

And impressed with myself that I didn't find out what was in it ahead of time.

Jellycats4life · 17/10/2023 13:29

Guys, don’t discount the mask straight away - hydrogel masks are lovely, and a pleasant change from bog standard sheet masks! For the sake of a single use, 20 minute item, you should give it a go.

AB The Rich Cream is an advent calendar stalwart so a bit boring, but it’s pleasant enough and good for the upcoming winter months.

Mirror is cute. My ADHD brain can’t keep track of the ones I have scattered across different bags, so it’s useful to have another one that I’ll lose as well.

Have sniffed the perfume yet. I probably won’t like it which is a pity for such a generous size. 25ml is huge! I am getting tired of the trend for marketing masculine scents to women. I’m not into smelling like a bloke.

MidnightMeltdown · 17/10/2023 13:29

I'm not keen the perfume. It smells like Debenhams to me. Will leave it for a bit and see what it's like once it's settled.

Another76543 · 17/10/2023 13:40

Really pleased with this box (apart from the perfume which smells of men’s aftershave!). We could do with a more feminine/floral scent next time!

EuniceLopril · 17/10/2023 13:43

@ButDaddyILoveHim

The fragrance reminds me of a Penhaligon's too. Could be either Quercus or Halfeti?

BCSurvivor · 17/10/2023 13:45

My box has been languishing at my local depot since 6am with no hint of being updated to out for delivery, so I'm expecting it tomorrow.
I'm glad there's a perfume, although I was expecting the perfume to be a Liberty sampler, seeing as Liberty is launching their own range officially this week.
Very glad there's not another cleanser, as I have plenty of those!

EuniceLopril · 17/10/2023 13:48

Very pleased with this, my second box.

Chocolateteabag · 17/10/2023 13:50

I'm happy overall - but given they have just launched the LBTY perfumes and put a leaflet in the box, why no samples of the new Liberty fragrances? Not even a scratch & sniff? Seems like a missed opportunity to their target audience especially with Christmas coming up.

lapsedbookworm · 17/10/2023 13:52

I know! I really wanted to try a sample!
