Kayali Juicy Apple today. I smell like a bag of Haribo. This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Liberty Hera Reigns today, it has the tiniest touch of oud in it and I'm not a massive oud fan but a little bit blended in can work well. I must have still had some mat prem vanilla powder lingering as I can still smell it and mixed with the hera Reigns it's lovely, wouldn't have thought they'd combine well as entirely different scent profiles.

I always reach for Hera Reigns when I want to 'boss it' and I have an important early work meeting today so let's see if it makes me feel like a queen as the name suggests!

Thank you @IDontHateRainbows you are a mine of information! Will order a sample and see how it goes. Thanks also for the tip @MiaN .

Maison crivelli Tubereuse Astrale. I'm not usually a Tuberose fan but this is lovely, not too in your face or overly sweet.

Jpg la belle le parfum, which is the stronger version. Lovely pear and vanilla, quite a rich scent. Perfect for the time of year. Can you believe it's 1st march tomorrow? I'm very seasonal with my scent, as soon as spring lands I'll be going off the heavy gourmands. Not there yet!

A cheapie oldie but goody - Lace body spray (as opposed to the perfume).

I am already in spring mood, I have not felt like strong gourmands since early January.

Diptyque Eau de Rose - fresh dewy rose, I am really enjoying it

I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to the gourmands but other fragrances are getting a look in. Still enjoying gypsy water and even the vanillas are slightly fresher or lighter eg babylon, vanilla powder. Not sure I'll ever be a massive floral fan.

4160Ts Dancing With Strangers sample today. I like this one a lot, it's rose and violet, quite sweet and light but seems to be hanging around reasonably well.

SOTD Another 13. A favourite.

Does anyone know on good deals on Diptyque? I’m buying a gift but I wouldn’t mind some samples or a discount.

I love another 13 too.

I would always order directly from Diptyque as they often have a deal on. They also come packaged so lovely with dust bags and you get a choice of two extra samples per order. Right now they've got a code for a free travel sized Orphéon edp for orders over £150 with the code PERFUME2025

@Lurkingshark not sure how much you’re spending on the gift, but there is currently an (admittedly not very exciting) Liberty GWP with a £175 spend, and Liberty do stock Diptyque.

Thanks. Not a bad shout @AprilLady i have a bit of beauty drop. I’ll go look at the GWP

Liberty gift is out of stock everyone! I placed an order for the perfume lounge edit which is well over the required spend but it didn't add to my order, I phoned up CS and they said it's sold out. annoyingly it's still showing on the website!

Bdk rouge smoking today, lovely sweet cherry fragrance.
Creative accounting brain persuaded me to get the liberty fragrance lounge edit on the basis that I was considering getting a fb of vanilla powder anyway... with beauty drop discount and credit managed to shave £50 off and I'll list most on ebay to subsidize what I keep. Hopefully arriving later.. woohoo. Will sample and update

Very pleased with the vanilla powder from the fragrance lounge edit. Not too sure I'll like that many others from the scent profiles which is a GOOD thing as I can't afford to keep them all. I did keep Angel Dust which is nice, light woody a bit too light for my noseblind nose! And Hera Reigns which I already had.

Intrigued by Vilhelm dear polly which I may keep.And there's a DS and Durga in there, wear at maximum volume, which is Ltd edition so may end up keeping if it doesn't sell. Strange having the full bottles around after being so used to samples!

I like mix of full bottles and 10 mls. I have to admit I was great in my no buy in January, didn't spend an euro on perfumes. In February I caved and regretted few zara purchases, but they will be used up as bathroom/bedroom scent and are cheap. Still, it was mindless purchase.

March - I am only sticking with the no buy until 20th of March, I have holiday planned and I will treat myself.

Today's scent will be Florist - Ellis Brooklyn. I really love this one but doesn't like - smells like going in flower shop, perfect for the spring

If there is really nice fragrance edit now, I would buy it I have to say - I am ready for something like this

Shalimar today, getting towards the time of year when I have to stop wearing it because it attracts too many insects!

Today is Dior Hypnotic Poison. Love the almondy vibe. On a good day (i.e.when I have more time) I also were Jergens cherry almond body lotion.

SOTD is Matiere Premier Bois D'Ebene
I seem to reach for frags from this house most consistently
Its a lovely deep woody scent with a bit of a leathery feel to it - I don't usually like leather.
It's not one I'd wear all the time or consider a fb of but for now and then it's lovely
Not very spring like - but it's freezing today anyway so who cares!

Liberty have not done one of their 'big sample' type fragrance edits, that come with a liberty print makeup bag, for a while. I don't think the fragrance lounge edit was very successful as it was launched ages ago and didn't sell out, probably the price put most people off. I'm just hoping I can sell enough to recoup half as I really can't afford the whole thing.

I layered Velvet Tonka with Crème de Cuir and even DD said I smelt nice.

Malle musc ravageur on now. From the discovery set. All the others are floral but I'm not massively in to floral. Lovely deep musky scent. Quite sweet. Nice but not fall-in-love worthy

First day in my new job, I think I will go for Bal D'Afrique and bring Find Comfort travel I need top up.
