Scent of the Day

[Tulipsareredvioletsarebue]

I think there was one a few months/weeks back but can't find it, so apologies if doubling up.
What perfume are you wearing today?
I will wear Atelier Cologne Trefle Pur in hope it will actually be warm today.

Ex Nihilo Chandigarh Express - pleasant leathery citrus. Lasted all of two hours - would not recommend. My DD is wafting around in a mix of Burberry Her and Sol de Janeiro 68 and is getting compliments. It suits her.

I had £113 in Beauty Drop credit so have bought it as technically it was free so seemed wrong not to get it.

I have sampled perfumes from the LBTY and Vilhelm ranges but not the two in the kit. The other brands I have yet to try so excited to test them all out.

I answered my own question re the Vyrao scent gift set and have found a new love, Magnetic 70.

Going to sell the Georgette (Rose) I am verdant and Free 00 and just keep the magentic 70 and witchy woo.

I do like the Vyrao brand/concept and would keep them all but i'm just saturated with scents at the moment and need to reclaim some costs!

I am really surprised how much I enjoyed the similar perfumes today having little bit of Gypsy Water Byredo, Colette Tocca, and Commodity Gold. What surprised me that while I say I can notice the difference if I turn the paper tester the other way I can not spot the OG and that all are lovely they have equally crappy longevity. i will keep my 20ml Colette and 30ml Gold the gy was only smaple.

Still thinking about Acne Studios. Do I want to smell like laundry? No 10ml travel sizes either.

We have had fab fall but very mild this year.

Ah I had a bit less and also got it, in theory for a friend who lives abroad and can’t get sone of the brands- but I don’t know if it will make it. Prompt shipping though!

Harvey Nics advent is hit for us, my family loved the selection.

My top favorites, full bottle worthy that to my nose are just fantastic are Byredo Bal D’afrique Eau De Parfum 8ml, BDK Parfums Gris Charnel Eau De Parfum 10ml, Xerjoff Naxos Eau De Parfum 15m alghout my soon took this one I wish I kept - it's really unique, beautiful scent to my nose.

The middle - I need warmer weather to properly test Creed Carmina Eau De Parfum 10ml, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Hatbox, Sisley Paris Eau Révée D’hubert Eau De Toilette 10ml

Not so sure about you, bit too much going on for me but well rated and I am looking forward & happy to try Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady Eau De Parfum 10ml, Parfums De Marly Delina Eau De Parfum 10ml

D.S. & Durga I Don’t Know What Eau De Parfum 10ml - I don't dislike it I just like this brand other offerings more and wish I had chance to get to know them better.

Tocca Cleopatra Eau De Parfum 5ml - the only one that didn't appal to me at all and end up in the bin.

The rest went to my husband and son and I know for sure my husband loves NIshane Hacivat and my son apart from Naxos loves Ex-nihilo The Hedonist and is working thought the rest.

Regardless of my initial hesitation I think Harvey Nichols did fantastic job but in my view one made to share.

I will give I don't Know What a go today but I am getting very strong book/paper scent of it and not sure if I won't able scrubbing it off in hour

Dd has a set from Kayali arriving today. So am waiting for that. I had a 10ml of vanilla 28 and liked but didn’t love it.

I have my spreadsheet ready and am going t shopping this week to try a load. Then London at the end of the month to try the ones I can’t track down here.

I’ve continued wearing Vyrao Free 00. I am coming to like it. It is like a squeeze of fresh orange but doesn’t last at all, there is no dry down.

I’m wearing Lust For Sun by Juliette Has a Gun (sample). I’ve determined to buy a full sized bottle (not that I need more perfume…) as yesterday’s Uber driver kept raving about how great I smelled (not flirting, I could be his mum).

I’ve opened my HN AC but I haven’t tried many yet. I love The Hedonist, I don’t like POAL nearly as much. DH will get the Colonia hatbox.

Today’s scent is FS Arizona Bloom. Nice and safe for meeting friends for coffee this morning.

I love Arizona Bloom, it's one of my favourite perfumes. it's often compared to Le Labo 13 but I prefer Arizona Bloom myself as I like the touch of coconut.

Liberty fragrance edit arrived! Impressed with the tobacco one. Molecule 01 Ginger I thought I'd like but wasn't sure.

Off out tonight but I've been spraying different scents on my arm to try them so probably smell of everything.

I wish deliver to Ireland - they deliver individual perfume order or the beauty advent, why did they leave us on perfume edits!

I am thinking Athalia today and test Vanilla Nomad Sana Jardin

Harvey Nicks had 15% off yesterday in store, excluding advent calendars and I end I bought 30ml Parfums de Marly Delina Rose. The only Delina that works for me - I have been wanting fresh green rose that stays fresh for some time. It's strange how testes differ - people comment fro some perfumes that this is nothing but rose water but to me rose water or rose with stem is beautiful scent vs jammy rose isn't my cup of tea at all.

Arizona Bloom to me is the perfect I miss the summer and salt water swim in the sea. This is exactly how it feels - like if I lick my lips I will get the saltiness from the water. I love it as I love summer and I love good sea swim. It's the only perfume I have two bottles!

I keep smelling Frederic Malle Acne Studios and I love it but I know I regret it if I buy full bottle and I know smelling like fresh clean laundry is not for everyone. My husband passionately dislike the idea.

Portrait of A Lady is my absolute favourite perfume @MiaN but I think it works best in the evening when you're going out. It feels a bit too opulent for day to day.

I've been debating the Liberty scent kit but think I'm going to pass as I've already got the Space NK advent calendar. I also know I don't like Dear Polly, generally don't like Escentric Molecules, and have the DS Durga in the Space NK. I don't know if it's worth it for just 6 perfumes even with Beauty Drop credit. I wish they didn't all include similar perfumes. The rest do sound interesting though.

I'm away so only took one small bottle with me. SOTD is Diptyque's Do Son which isn't quite right for this grey autumnal day, but I guess it can remind me of summer!

I’m giving Ghost of Tom another try today. It was in last year’s Liberty AC and I didn’t think it was for me so I put in DH’s stash.

I agree about a lot of the same things bring in everything. I like Molecule 01 and the Iris version but I can’t get on with any of the others. EM is everywhere, their marketing team must push hard!

I like the black tea and the iris, but not so much the others. Thought I'd love ginger, I love the taste and smell or it in drinks / food and also MB heavenly gingerlily - but for some reason I didn't click with the EM ginger. Strange how often the scents we think we'd like we don't and vice versa.
Do update on what Ghost of Tom is like - I have it as a 'maybe' from my liberty gift set but haven't tried it yet.

Lush Chelsea Morning. Has anyone else tried it? It starts off very strong vanillary gourmand and fades down to a lemon oatmeal smell like their Supermilk conditioner. I can’t make up my mind about it.

@IDontHateRainbows I can’t get on with black tea, and it’s really put me off the Liberty kit as it looks like a couple of those are tea scents. So far Ghost of Tom is still not doing it for me. It’s got a sharp spirit/alcohol note so far that is overwhelming it. I’m probably not explaining that very well, I don’t know all the perfume language 😁

Byredo Eyes Closed for me today. It's a bit too spicy for me I'd say, and more a sharp peppery spice than a warming cardamon spice. It was a sample from the scent library. Interesting carrot undertones.

De los santos for me as a trial. Slightly odd mint to it but I love the dry down

Funnily enough I also can't get on with Ghost of Tom but I do love Dear Polly -another tea scent. It's strange how differently things react on my skin. I'm wearing an older sample of Replica Springtime in a Park, which I had forgotten I had. Really enjoying it again -smells a bit softer and warmer than Spring to me, probably why I enjoy the scent. I love the winter type warm cosy scents

I’m not getting tea at all from GOT, it’s more like hand sanitiser!

Vanilla Nomad Sana Jardan is another one I like to smell but don't want to smell like it or smell it all day. It's winter amber vanilla but I don't like it as much as I did BDK Vanille Leather. I didn't use anything else today, I sprayed some on my clothes and by now I am ready to change my top to get rid of it.

Replica bubble bath today
