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.

I like citruses in the summer too but most winter perfumes I have I would hate to smell in exercise class. I much prefer orange sanguine to any other orange scent (atelier cologne) but it is more natural orange. This one is basically fanta orange

Hera Reigns for me today. I feel like this is a sophisticated, serious scent - like a queen!

Back to the kayali discovery set today for something fun for a day at home. Vanilla candy rock sugar. Knew this would be insanely sweet but it's literally bubblegum. This brand isn't for me I think and I doubt I'll be purchasing a full size of any but it's been fun trying the samples when I want to randomly waft around smelling like candy.

Even my 11 year old daughter found that one way too sweet and she's probably more the target market. They do seem to have gone sickly sweet with the latest offerings or has my nose changed. Still rate vanilla 28 and love fest burning cherry, also the Marrakesh in a bottle from the summer set but I'm.going off this brand truth be told

I've not tried rock sugar but I think I'll like it

Going to head to boots at some point to have a sniff of that and the new one

I didn't mind rock candy as a bed time scent, but not one I would purchase, I found it much nicer than pistachio gelato, and sparkling lychee which was insanely sweet, I think I would only rebuy lovefest burning cherrry, as it is very similar to lost cherry, not quite as good on the almond, but at the price point I'ts on my to buy list.

SOTD - Angels Share again. Surprisingly, I had full on indulgent syrupy apple strudel and custard on intial spray. I'm putting money aside to monthly buy the large bottle next winter.

To whomever asked about the Liberty scent kits. I got it and tried the perfumer H first as it’s been on my list and £££. Both of them growers.

I also enjoyed the DS and Durga but I like molecules type scents, especially with a floral on top.

SOTD hedonist ex nihilio. Nice not too powerful and consistent dry down. Very happy to wear it but not straight to the top of the list

SOTD is Juliette’s Ex Vetiver from a BF reduced discovery set. I like it so far, it’s softer than I thought it would be. I’ll see how it dries down

@IDontHateRainbows I want to try hera reigns as it's something I think I'd like. I've got ianthe oud coming to me in the post so looking forward to sampling that.

I've just had a delivery of Ianthe Oud today -it's not too dissimilar to Hera Reigns but I far prefer Hera Reigns myself.

Will keep an eye for a vintage bargain.

Popped into my local JL and sampled mm by the fireplace as I see it talked about a lot. It's nice but not something I want to smell like, if that makes sense. My favourite candle is Diptyque feu du bois but I wouldn't want to wear it as a fragrance and this is similar. It's faded quite quickly too.

Vinted* they really need to sort out an edit button on the app :)

Really not keen on the ianthe oud after a second spritz. If anyone wants it I'll happily send it on for free ( it's the 8ml large travel size) just DM me!

Zara Red Temptation.

I've decided it's the oud I can't stand - just sampled Halfeti and the oud in that fragrance is overpowering everything else for me and makes me almost sick. I seem to gravitate towards rose and vanilla based scents. I am loving this perfume discovery journey so far!

I’ve just sent you a PM if that’s ok x

You try the Vanilla Powder, and tell me about it 😂
I'm desperate to try it, but can't face blind-buying the 6ml for 30 quid.

Angel Dust is lovely - it's a real intimate, classy yet casual, cashmere jumper of a fragrance.

@MiaN I do feel that now I have Halfeti, I know I love oud but I should branch out a bit. I will look into in the perfumes you mentioned. I’m slowing learning that I like rose (but not too much - I hated Penhaligon’s Elizabethan Rose!) & Oud and I dislike fresh citrus. Though I think DH would love your perfume today, he loves orange fanta as a kid!!

Woke up this morning & could still smell Empressa on me from yesterday. Must say I’m very impressed with how long these last! I’ve never had anything like it!

SOTD is Penhaligon’s Babylon as I fancied something vanilla from the Trade Routes set. I wasn’t over keen on this for the first hour or so but my goodness, it turned into a wonderful warm vanilla. It’s like a softer, warmer version of the Flowerbomb I used to love. I can’t stop sniffing it & I already feel gutted that I don’t have a full bottle. Like Halfeti, it has good sillage (thanks @MiaN , I’m learning!). I’ll be trying to figure out how I can purchase this one ASAP.

@Howmanyroses are you working through a particular discovery set?

I was going to try the vanilla powder from the kit but as it sells for a fair price on ebay and I needed to make some money back I had to let it go unfortunately.

Angel dust I was too scared to try after reading that Fugazzi scents can be quite overpowering, and having a bad experience with Fugazzi Workaholic so that one went too, but I'm glad you like it and maybe one day I'll get to try it

I used to wear by the fireplace a lot but have gone off it lately. I tried it blended with kayali vanilla 28 and that worked quite well together, the two balancing each other out. But either on its own doesn't work quite so well for me

Has anyone ever bought boxed perfumes on eBay? Are they too big a risk?

Thank you! My testing strips arrived so will be having a sniff of them tonight.

I have by the fireplace and wish I had bought the candle to be honest. I love the smell. But rarely reach for it to wear. So I totally agree.

I was talking to a friend and said I need to stop getting perfumes because I love the smell and think about whether I would actually wear it. Sometimes getting the candle is the right choice 😂

I really like by the fireplace, it's on my perfume parlour list to buy! I had a couple of samples of it
Bonfire bash by bath and body works is similar but less smoky
