Soap smells good- it’ll get used and enjoyed

FizzyLaser · 10/12/2023 12:21

I like Malin and g. But admittedly the scent does not last as long as something like molten Brown. I have one of those IKEA wooden racks across my bath and keep my soap on that.

@Orangeslemon I’ve just checked and I opened the wrong drawer this morning - did it in the dark as didn’t want to wake DH.
Now I actually have drawer 10 opened, have to say I love this! I use a few products from this brand and haven’t tried their soap yet.

@LittleBearPad is it the Granada Bossa soap that you haven’t opened yet? If so, it’s incredible! I purchased the perfume after my first use
of the soap as it smells so great!

Ah that makes sense! If you opened what I think you did I also have about 7 Grin

MaterMetella · 10/12/2023 14:07

Also disappointed. Feels like a hotel freebie.

Yeknom · 10/12/2023 17:17

I was a little underwhelmed with todays, but I've actually just used it in the shower and it's really lovely. Smells great! Could be a convert to bars of soap!

Buster27 · 10/12/2023 18:25

Ah found yesterday's mirror hidden under the paper, so it was there after all - glad I'm on this thread or I'd have missed it!

Not overly excited by today's, but it will get used.

It is! Due to lack of soap dish. Am planning to buy some - will tell DH we’re being eco friendly.

Make sure you get one that drains.

It’s Poets of Berlin! 🎉

I first tried this about a year ago and it was instant love. I spent months afterwards mooning after it. It was one of the reasons I bought this calendar. I think it smells like blueberry muffins without being sweet and cloying.

If anyone hates it, you know where I am 😄

@Jellycats4life this is the one I've been waiting for too! I've just sprayed it, I might spend my BD credit on a big bottle if I like the drydown enough. Smells lovely so far

listsandbudgets · 11/12/2023 08:05

been waiting for this. It certainly makes up for my mild disappointment of yesterday

sadly already put my perfume in today but there's always tomorrow

very pleased.

whyhellothereyou · 11/12/2023 08:05

Mine is faulty this morning. It doesn't spray! 😩 so no idea what it smells like!

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 11/12/2023 08:08

If yours appears to not spray, forgive me, I’m not insinuating that you’re daft, but have you taken the lid off? I didn’t realise at first that there was a lid.

Buster27 · 11/12/2023 08:31

Impression on first spritz is good, probably not my usual kind of scent but I like it and it's nice to have something different. The bottle is nice too.

wizzywig · 11/12/2023 08:52

Ooh lovely surprise! It's a keeper

Fatlegs46 · 11/12/2023 09:09

Oh nice! I wouldn’t normally wear a sweet perfume but it’s nice to try something different- and that’s dangerous because then I’ll miss it when it runs out!

RudolfsLeftToe · 11/12/2023 09:24

Love the perfume, I wasn’t a fancy of the Peony one from last year so this is a lovely surprise! If you don’t like it then they sell for a decent price on Vinted which is a bonus!

I also have to say that Liberty customer services have been great about my missing drawer, there is one on its way to me so it’ll be numbered correctly in time for the 19th.

whyhellothereyou · 11/12/2023 09:32

@AppleDumplingWithCustard yes I took the lid off and that's the problem, there is no "spray" underneath, it looks like the spray part is stuck in the lid. I'll try again later to fix it if I can.

Complain to Liberty, they’ll replace it.

Waspie · 11/12/2023 09:35

The perfume this morning is lovely. Although I have a head cold and blocked sinuses so I think I've used too much as the dog is hiding from me! Still, there are worse things the house could smell of (yes I'm looking at you dog).

Agree with pp about the cap on the bottle - it took me a short while to realise it had a cap on too Xmas Grin

What a shame. I think Liberty is quite good about rectifying problems.

ronswansonstache · 11/12/2023 09:45

It's gorgeous! Very pleased with todays drawer

casuarinatree · 11/12/2023 09:57

Very pleased with this morning's perfume as well - I've really loved everything I've tried from them.

TheLonelyStarbucksLovers · 11/12/2023 10:08

I love today’s perfume. There must be something about this brand that particularly appeals to me - one of the very few things from previous Liberty ACs that I’ve gone on to buy a full size version of was their Dear Polly perfume a few years back.

It also took me longer than it should have to realise how to open the perfume bottle.

On a side note I love how perfumes have such ridiculous names. Does someone sit there with a dictionary, or online algorithm, and just put random words together?!

ThreeTescoBags · 11/12/2023 10:13

Sadly this isn't my bag at all, I prefer much spicier, musky scents (the Tudor perfume in door one is perfect for me, love that one). I might have a bash at selling it, any ideas how much I might list it for on vinted? I've never used it before.
