Nest Indigo is lovely! It’s a lot sweeter, jammier than Dear Polly and not smoky. Definitely room for both in a collection.

JHAG miami shake. Forgot I had this. It’s fine, slightly artificial strawberry. Not my thing but will use up
the 5ml I have.

Carolina Herrera La Bomba for me today , makes a change from all the citrus fragrances in the liberty Scent with Love box .

I tried to like this one but there is something too artificial about it.
In thrall to the stiletto today with carolina herrera good girl.

I ordered the ellus Brooklyn discovery set which was in the space nk sale. I had resolved not to get any more discovery kits as 2ml just whets my appetite for more but they got me as I needed to spend £25 to get £10 ndulge points because I need a laneige toner. Girl maths at its finest!!

In the end I brought the Nishane X set away with me, as the box is smaller than Miller Harris.

Wore Wulong Cha X the first day and it seemed nice but it's so hot here that I sweated it off quite quickly and haven't bothered with anything since.

Got a mini SDJ beija-flor mist in a Boots beauty festival thing bag. I honestly can't smell it at all 5 minutes later. Surprised me because I find the original yellow one extremely strong even though it's a mist. I think these two might be destined for use as overpriced air freshener.

The Prada Infusion de Vanilla sounds lovely. Have never tried any of the Prada fragrances. Will attempt to spray next month when I visit Sephora.

Well worth joining scent addict if you want ti try prada!

Bdk rouge smoking today. Think Cherry definitely my favorite scent.

Ellis Brooklyn kit hopefully landing today.

M&S Sunset, limited edition from last Summer but it has been relaunched with a new name.

Proad Green Tea with Molinard Osmanthus today. I’ve been enjoying osmanthus lately.

Ellis Brooklyn discovery kit landed

Tried bee, a sweet honey. Bit too sweet in my opinion, nice enough but not wanting more.

Also west, a cirtussy one. Again, nice but not anything amazing. Very photorealistic citrus, smells like I just peeled an orange.

Some interesting, modern conceptual blends in here which I'm intrigued to try.

SOTD is etat libre d'orange Nostos. I keep returning to this one - it's oudy and rosey, and my 11 year old daughter likes it when usually she's more into sweet kayali style so it must have something about it!

Also tried super amber from the Ellis Brooklyn kit it's not very strong for an amber but I think I'm probably a bit nose blind.
Not a bad kit for the money and I'll enjoy sampling them but I don't think this is a brand I'll pursue.

I have a sample of Apple - nice and fruity as expected but nothing special. Salt and Myth look interesting.

I’ve ordered a couple of samples including nishane wulong cha and BDK gris charnel. Excited to try! The first I think I’ll love and the second is probably the wrong weather for it but im craving that type of scent profile

An all-time favourite today - Liz Earle No15 - spicy herbal woody rose to me

Still bitter that Liz Earle discontinued their No9 blackcurrant perfume!

@IDontHateRainbows Did the discovery kit contain Vanilla Milk? I've been curious to smell that one and have been wondering if it's anything like Commodity Milk or Vanilla Powder.

Vanilla milk is very soft , quite comforting, nothing like Vanilla Powder. I actually prefer Vanilla Milk .

No, and it sounds lovely .

I tried Sci fi today. Quite like it, tea and vanilla and other things.

I was obsessed with that about 10 years ago, it was one of the few scents I owned back then.

Been on a sampling binge today. Crivelli ambre chromatique the latest. Beautiful strong amber. Also montale rendez vous chez harrods which is more a deep spicy scent for winter but hey , the nights are very slowly getting longer now right?

Will have to calm it down for work as meeting some new people as I'm working with another team so need to build up to stink bombing.

Two of my favourites!

@Zoetrope1think we’ve got similar tastes!

Replica beach walk today in a bid to use up some samples to justify the new ones I’ve just bought. It’s fine, inoffensive but I wouldn’t actively reach for it. It’s a little sharp for me and I get no coconut from this at all. Im also not a huge fan of ylang ylang. Might use it up in the bathroom…

I have decided I really don’t like it so have spritzed on em01+mandarin over the top until I have my post gym shower later. I dont have anyone to pass on samples
to here so need to be inventive how I use up the ones I don’t like!

SOTD - green stravaganza and on the other hand, lovefest burning cherry.

Sweet, inoffensive scents the perfume equivalent of comfort food.

Sot evening bois debene by matiere premiere. Ebony wood. I do like his wood scents. Think santal austral probably has the edge and I don't like a lot of Sandalwood, it can be hit and miss.
This one is sharp and deep to start almost leathery. Mellows out on the dry down. Strong, so not one for the office.
