There's a few on Vinted for about £3. Without a 'name' behind it it's barely worth selling so I'd just try it.

I've worn Vanilla 28 a few times recently. It might be my favourite Kayali scent. I think it's one that has to sit for a while and turn dark brown to get the best from it.

Mine certainly has 'macerated' and smells quite boozy now. It's a good one for layering.

I was wondering about that one as couldn't find the scent profile on fragrantica.

Knowing my tastes (vanilla/spicy/smoky and not fresh/aquatic/zingy) do you think I would like it? I am trying not to spray it in case I can sell it on if it doesn't sound up my street.

I am not sure. It smells like something that Aesop will make, but less masculine and. I like it on initial sniff

What are your favourites from LF advent. I am trying Le Monde Gourmand Fleur de Blonde today and Flowerbomb extreme. I don't know, I feel part of it for me could be that I am going back to discovering perfumes by myself, in store, visiting few times, and falling for something or traveling. I am enjoying it got doesn't feel as special

Fleur de Blonde is very light

I think I will wear gris charnel again today.

Any news on Space Nk content?

I sold quite a few but kept the flowerbomb tiger lily which is lovely, smells like a cocktail. Also Olympia absolu and CH Good Girl. Still to try the goldfield and banks and crystal noir.

No news on S NK but the teaser ad mentioned byredo, so high hopes there. Hoping its something different and not bal/ blanche/ RONML which seems to be in everything although mo ghost and tipsy water id be ok with m

I really want Amouage Guidance. I was looking at the Christmas sets that are in the Harrods Reward weekend but it is so expensive even with the 10%. Maybe next birthday.

Small aromas do Guidance and Guidance 46 in up to 10ml sample sizes - more affordable if you don’t want to pay out for a full bottle

RoseTeaLady · 30/09/2025 11:33

The John Lewis Advent Calendar is on sale. Mainly beauty, but there are a few fragrances, including 15ml of Le Labo The Noir. It’s my daughter’s favourite fragrance, so I treated us.

Wore Glossier Reve today inspired by @IDontHateRainbows who reminded me I own it. It's lasted quite well, better than I remembered. Good work scent.

Has anyone tried Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit - is it as nice as people say?

MiaN · 30/09/2025 18:06

I really like it but I only tend to want to wear it November/December. It smells more like gingerbread then ginger biscuit imo. I have full bottle, after finishing travel.

I could probably do with testing one in store. I have EM 01+ Ginger and I'm not keen on that. Some Ginger scents I do like though.

JoRaRaRa · 30/09/2025 18:35

I've been wearing the new Chloe perfume which I've got a sample of. I didn't like it at first, but it's really grown on me and I actually REALLY like it now 😍

IDontHateRainbows · 30/09/2025 18:43

The TF lost cherry dupe, afnan cherry bouquet was scent of choice today.

Evening scent is prada paradoxe radical essence. Lovely but a little too strong for the office.

SOTD is Nest Vanilla Bourbon. I really like it and it’s still going after 8 hours. Soft, boozy vanilla. Very warm and cosy.

QueefofSheena · 30/09/2025 21:22

I’ve just had a first spray of Brompton Immortals which I love so far. I think it will get a lot of use over autumn/winter.

I really liked this. I also liked Rude Oud but I'm not sure how wearable it is for me. Brompton Immortals I think I will wear. I haven't opened either yet, I tested my friend's open ones.

CorneliaStreet · 30/09/2025 21:30

My evening scent is Miller Harris Craft & Glamour. I’ve been liking these soft, slightly powdery florals recently, have been wearing Molecule & Iris quite a lot too.

Earlier was Shay & Blue Pineapple Ice. More white floral than pineapple to me, but I like it. September/October is white floral time of year for me (also March/ April).

IDontHateRainbows · 30/09/2025 21:34

second SOT E is nostos by eldo. I love thos one, a surprise hit from last year's harrods AC. Strong on oud with rose.

I liked Brompton immortals but don't love it. Rude oud I haven't tried yet. Oud is a strange note for me. Depends what it is blended with as I love some oudy scents but hate others. Off to check the scent profile.

QueefofSheena · 30/09/2025 21:40

I didn’t like Rude Oud much when I tried it. I may prefer it once we get to winter though, it was still warm so probably not ideal

IDontHateRainbows · 30/09/2025 21:50

Has anyone who had the harrods fc tried sand and skin? Another unopened one im keeping for a bit.

I've smelt it but not yet sprayed it 🤣 I think it's really nice, subtle. I think it'll be perfect for winter days out with the family 🥰

I've not yet opened Immortals, I've decided that it's my Christmas day fragrance, so I hope I like it. I also haven't opened rude oud or Valaya, but I know I like Valaya as I've smelt that one in harvey nicks 😊 I plan to open the calendar on alternate days, opening Immortals on Xmas eve.

I have sprayed Jo malone and dorade, both are very nice 😍 I've now put it away under the bed, I had to fight to get it all in so I've no desire to get it back out 🤣

QueefofSheena · 30/09/2025 22:21

I liked Sand and Skin, but I only tried it once so I don’t remember much except that I was pleasantly surprised

I didn't like that at all. I was a bit gutted as the bottle is beautiful.

I've worn Dorade a couple of times now. Not one I would buy on it's own but very wearable.

QueefofSheena · 01/10/2025 07:47

SOTD is Heathens, Cowboys and the Santa Ana Winds by Discotheque. I’m trying it from my little discovery set to see if I love it, as there’s a full sized bottle in Vogue. I don’t. I might be tempted by a bargain on Vinted but it doesn’t justify the spend otherwise for me. It’s a bit too woody.

I have a colleague who loves it and says she would bring it in to let me try it, whi just might be the best bet. I tend to keep the bigger bottles back and unless I fancy them from the scent profile, sell them when I have my eye on something else, to pay for it.

Mumbai noise today but not sure its office friendly.

Excited for SNK and Harrods to launch their fraggy Cals.

Meanwhile I've turned from fragrance to lip gloss as the bobbi brown gloss bomb vault has launched and im embracing my inner teenager.

Do you have your eye on something else or are you just thinking of selling? (being nosey, as per 😇)
I bought my mum a bottle of the dorade because she really loved it when I let her go through the opened bottles in my harrods frag ac. I had initially bought the calendar for her but she opted for great gatsby show tickets instead, not that I'm complaining as I actually love most of the fragrances.
