Scent of the day part 2

[fivebyfivebuffy]

I couldn't see a new thread so I'm starting one!

I think I have about 20, or slightly over that 50ml or more. If I have to count the 30 it will probably be around 30.

I have few that I am not counting as they are archive - I don't wear them anymore but don't want to get rid of them and some I am likely to declutter at some stage - 2 or 3, from advent calendars etc that I still have not decided on.

I have

2 x 125ml
9 x 100ml (one is almost empty but can’t bring myself to part with the last few sprays)

i also have a refill for one of the 100ml (Burberry goddess).
3 x 30ml

Currently have about 15 x 10ml including perfume oil. But dd usually dips in and out of them so they aren’t at hand to count.

The rest are small 2ml samples

Sweet tooth after my bath
Might have gone a bit Shea/vanilla mad

Last time I looked around 60 full size
Not many 10ml, lots of samples and about 10 body sprays

@fivebyfivebuffy
it sounds like you smell heavenly!

Yes I’d count anything from 30ml+ as full size also

I have around 25 x5 or 10ml
Full bottles not many - maybe 5

Definitely a samples girl!

Interesting to see how many have 10ml. Before this thread, I didn’t know it was a thing & thought everyone automatically bought 30/50ml plus

10ml is the perfect size for me. I struggle to finish bigger bottles as I like to try different things.
If I can't find an actual 10ml size in what I want I have used a sample service like Scented samples before.

You are all making me feel better about my collection! I haven’t counted but I have around 10 full sized and many 7.5 to 10ml

Perfumer H Rain Cloud today from the liberty scent kit. It's lovely. Probably one for spring when I go off the heavy gourmand.

Perfumer H Gold is my perfume today.
Spicy orange for a very mild Winter day.

That sounds lovely @Cantonet

SOTD Sana Jardin Revolution de la Fleur. I wanted to give this another try to see if it’s one to go on my list for spring, but I don’t think it’s for me. Debating whether to buy Sandalwood Temple. I think it’ll get a lot of use between now & spring as it’s warm but not Christmassy

I have 12 full size about 12 x 10/15 ml and about 35 samples < 5ml (but 20 of those are the byredo mega set).

I share 1/3 with DH and DD3 is very interested in smelling lovely for nursery…

4160 Tuesdays Burnt Cedar Rainbow Doves today, my go-to "smells nice but not in your face" choice. Daft name though.

My 100mls are all light colognes / light things I can spritz heavily in summer - a Jo Malone, an Aqua Allegoria, and Hermes Rhubarb Eclarte. Very happy to have the heavier, more intense perfumes in smaller sizes.

That makes a lot of sense!

My BDK set arrived just in tome for Christmas and does contain the velvet tonka..so weird the other set had 2 the same but 1 different.

Lots of new perfumes to befriend tomorrow, house will reek!

Looking forward to hearing what you think of them all @IDontHateRainbows

For 10mls are a part of my buying ritual. If I sample and like it, I will get a 10ml. Of If I am sad when the 10ml is gone. It goes on my full bottle list.

Unless I can get something on a really good offer for 30ml I rarely buy anything if I can’t get around a 10ml first.

That’s why I like the scent kit from Liberty. Not the most recent lounge kit. The one they had before. Was great to try so many new ones (new to me) on sizes where I could get the full experience to decide if they were going on a full bottle list

If you don’t mind Which set had velvet tonka? I think a BDK set is going to be next one. I want to try grow charnel and velvet tonka while the weather is still cold.

I've stuck with sweet tooth today as wore it to bed last night

I got it from Harvey Nick's, link posted upthread. I did originally order from John Lewis and annoyingly there's another set with a similar name which has 2 the same ( tuberose and creme de cuir) but with an oud one instead of the tonka. I thought maybe they were all like that but the one came today has the VT. So be sure not to order from John Lewis!

Gris charnel is in another set but I already have that one.

Have you tried a sample service? Quite a few do 10mls of pretty much anything. I think this is brilliant for me when I fall in love with a really expensive one but know I'll have switched my affections elsewhere usually with most of a big bottle left if I buy big.
