Just that really what perfume is everyone wearing today? I have silly amounts of perfume plus sample sizes which come in gift sets etc or ones I've bought to try before buying full size so really need to get through them so plan to update regularly or until I forget. Please feel free to join in. Today for me is prada candyhad it a good few yrs but the scent is still fine

Had a migraine yesterday so no perfume went for something lighter today so gone for good old ghost in original blue bottle not over powering just light and fresh while my head and nausea sort themselves out

Clinique Wrappings.
A perfect cold weather Christmas scent.
I absolutely adore this perfume, but my kids hate it.Luckily they've all grown up & largely left home ... I'm now down to my last bottle, as it's been sadly discontinued.

@potplantsinparadise Thank you for this. I’m not one for boycotts , but Lush have gone too far for me ever to darken their doors, so it’s great to know there’s an alternative source for similar DNA.

I was wearing a sample of Lust for Sun by Juliette Has a Gun recently when a random man near me started saying how amazing I smelled (NOT flirting, he was 20-something, I’m 60). Needless to say I went to Selfridges and bought a bottle. Currently SOTD

I’m on Dior addict today

Mackemlass79 · 05/12/2024 17:06

Blackberry and bay jo malone for me today been to salon so didn't want anything over powering and this is strong for about the first 5 mins and in typical jm fashion it fades rather quickly tho not completely

I'm wearing Jo Malone Orange Bitters this month. It's last Iasting on me all day . If only all JMs were the same.

Angel Dust by Fugazzi - I love it so much and I always get compliments. I think it’s the pepper notes, it’s unisex and settles well on my skin.

Mackemlass79 · 11/12/2024 13:02

Hi everyone apologies I'm neglecting my own thread I am reading posts I'm just not well at min with this bug doing the rounds so haven't been wearing any perfume dont think they headaches and nausea would take it. Hopefully will be back fighting fit in a few days and back on with the endless amounts of scents I have and continue compiling my ever growing wishlist from all of your posts so please keep sharing and keep them coming

Amarige by Givenchy today - thought it was discontinued but Boots have it still in stock …yay!
Yesterday was DKNY woman, nice and light for work.

So many that I’ve loved have been discontinued… Michael Kors “Sporty Citrus”,
Estee Lauder “ Pleasures Exotic” and “Beautiful blush” and the original Monsoon (looked a bit like a rain drop) and Stella McCartney “Stella”
Hate it when they do that! I’ve sometimes bought some on eBay, but they’re usually “off” or stupidly priced😪

I'm not sure if u buy or ever test any dupes but I recently got one from perfume parlour a dupe of stella and tho maybe not pinpoint exact I think it's a very very good likeness and better than not having it at all or paying extortionate prices

I tried Gold by Commodity today - opener was far far too sugary sweet but then it dried down into a very lovely soft vanilla amber sandalwood, which I think is my default for 'things that smell nice'.

Ooh, thank you for that tip! I’ll get on to it! Really miss the Stella scent so a dupe would be fine 🌸

I sprayed myself with Oud Bouquet by Lancôme today when I was out shopping. I cannot afford it but it is absolutely Divine

Oooh I've not heard of that one i will have to give it a try when I'm next in town. Blackberry and bay for me today can still smell it on me since late morning which is unusual for a jo malone scent

I am wearing Prada infusion d’ Almond .It’s a very light scent though. I was trying different perfumes on the cards in JL today but got confused as to what was what . I think one I liked was Prada paradox . We bought Burberry Goddess for a relative.

Mackemlass79 · 15/12/2024 19:45

I love prada paradoxe and also barberry goddess haven't tried the one u are wearing but not a huge almond fan marzipan makes me nauseous

I'm inside Seychelles from the White Company on this bright blue sunny day in the depths of winter.

Notes: Bergamot, orange and coconut, with green jasmine, amber and vanilla. Scent family: Ozonic

It's dry, herby botanical, salty fresh and warm. Subtle, not over sweet, long lasting. Feels like an afternoon at the beach hut on deserted grassy sand dunes...

Thus sounds absolutely gorgeous and very relaxing just what is needed in this cold winter morning

Just a plain rose perfume for me today from a set MIL got me several yrs ago from fragonard when they were in nice. Lovely scent I like a good rose scent still haven't found perfect one yet but do really like paul Smith rose which is a cheapy one these days but i find it very wearable
