I bought a Discotheque discovery set with a discount code that arrived today. May save it for darker days though as I suspect they’ll be on the heavier side.

SOTD is Good Girl Blush, it’s stronger than I remembered

I've started wearing scent everyday thanks to this thread, even when WFH. Today it's Ex Nihilo Lust in Paradise from the Liberty Scent with Love kit. Smells good on me.

I have definitely returned to enjoying designer scents and sill have not bough any perfumes since March. Really looking forward to LF fragrance and seeing what Space NK fragrance will be Unsure about Harvey Nichols fragrance - as someone mentioned, they are all travel sizes and so much oud.

Wfh is the best time to wear it no worries about overstaying or wearing something.. unusual.

I’ll probably try for the Perfume Shop advent this year, I got it half price two years ago but those days are gone. DS will take the men’s ones off my hands. DH sticks to 3 favourites despite my best efforts

At £90 it's still good value, if contents are similar to last year. Much better than the fragrance shops offering.

Sot evening is side effect by initio. Spicy, tobacco, sweet....it must be autumn!

Bdk gris Charnel for me today. It was sunny but felt a bit autumnal first thing, and the orange leaves made me feel like it was a perfect day for gris Charnel. I wfh every day, so if I didn't put perfume on, it would only get used on a weekend, which simply won't do 😊

A cheeky spritz of alien extraintense as i passed boots earlier on my lunchbreak. Now have a meeting with someone vairy vairy important and need to not stink out the meeitng room so thinking to wash it off before I get all self conscious!

I still have not heard form my Look Fantastic Fragrance, but based on unboxing I am very happy that Goldfield and Banks is the new one - Pacific Flower. Really looking forward to it. The girl doing unboxing is lovely but doesn't have much clue about notes :). Kind of cute to watch

Mine has landed but I'm literally just home and about to eat so it will have to wait.

The look fantastic has been opened. It's ok - some good ones in there to try and only a few 'fillers'. Much better than fragrance shop. Not a bad deal for the price. I've tried YSL Black Opium first which is nice and will go on my little miniatures shelf above my desk at home.

Interested in the goldfield and banks, crystal noir, bronze goddesss (although wrong time of year for it) molton brown sunlit clementine and miller harris sherzo. A few that I'll sell on and maybe make back half the spend which will do me.

Crystal Noir is lovely. I'm looking forward to trying the JHAG duo as I don't think I've had those ones in anything.

That's if my calendar ever decides to arrive.

And the selfridges one arrived too although the colonia was broken - I'll contact customer services in the morning as the others all smell of colonia now on the outside so don't know if I can sell them.

I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with frag now but I will probably sell 2/3 of what i've got to get some money back. And the ones I keep I'll open slowly no more than one a day .

Sotd molecule 01+mandarin today. Realised I havent touched many of my other fragrances for a while as ive been sticking to a main daily scent but opted for this. Not a freshie like I’m very in to currently but after the initial hit of realistic mandarin, it dries down in to a sweet woody scent that’s hard to describe, but I like it.

Someone on another thread had a broken bottle in their selfridges perfume edit. They received a full refund (and also able to keep everything else). Selfridges CS were brilliant apparently.

Yes I'm hoping they do that with me. It's not like they can send a replacement set -they've sold out.

Initio side effect today but i'm not loving it. There's something baccarat rouge-y about it but it's not quite hitting the spot. Will wash off and try something else. Maybe sparkling jo by vilhelm

Let us know how you get on 😊

Chanel Allure for me today, it has a warm autumnal feel to it 😊

Grrr, selfridges initially said I need to return the whole thing for a refund which I'm not happy about as they are out of stock so can't replace it. On hold to customer services hoping they will be nice.....

Seems very inconsistent with the previous poster's experience.

They are making a big deal of it and raising a 'case' to be progressed to someone up the chain - I'll see if they provide the refund or not but they need to do something!

Oh that's so annoying! Yes, the inconsistent approach makes me wonder if there's quite a few people who've experienced broken bottles so they've had to change what they do. Maybe ask for a partial refund? 😕 They definitely need to do something, it's not right that you lose out because they've not packaged it up properly.

Grrr selfridges are only offering a £10 refund which is fair I suppose as it's 1/9 of the content. Annoying that someone else got the full refund! Maybe they have had a spate of these as the bottles were not well wrapped at all.

Better than nothing I suppose!

I did think the full refund was very generous but I guess they thought it was a one off and perhaps now a lot of people have contacted about smashed bottles.

Some new very expensive Byredo perfumes at Harrods. Seems to be a special Extrait range. £310

Sorry if it was you Ova, I didn't mean that you were annoying! Glad you got the full refund. Maybe its just the luck of which customer service rep you get?
