I really like that one, I wore it yesterday and I'm tempted to spray it on again today 😊 I find it cosy 🥰

I also like the SJ sandalwood temple but not quite enough to get a full bottle. Living off a liberty sample still.

purple fig by Vilhelm today- didn’t last on skin but still whiffs on clothes. Pleasing andwork appropriate. I went big on fig and got the Ortigia Fico D’India in the liberty offer. I really love the candle so hoping it’s similar.

Babylon by penhaligon's which i love but it is soooo expensive and I'm nearly half way through my sample. I bought a dupe from perfume parlour, mesopotamia and it smells like.... watered down babylon. I have one on one hand one on the other. The actual smell is not a million miles off, just weaker. They do a body lotion which may be a better option.

Also : afternoon delight by Maison Margiela. This one is sooo sickly sweet but still I love it! Kind of syrupy, like one of those greek syrup sweets/cakes. If there ever was a case to be made that mounjaro makes former sweet toothed people into sweet /gourmand smell lovers this would be it. I shouldn't like it so much but I do!

I am going to stick with my favourites for few days as I need a little break.

I will be wearing Gris Charnel today

Afternoon delight has zero lasting power, I doubt it would even get through an afternoon. An hour or two and it's gone. I do like the scent for bedtime/evening though.

Fleur narcotique today. A suprise love - I unexpectedly got into white florals recently after months of thinking I wasn't a floral person.

Love gris Charnel, I think I'll join you and wear it today too 😁

Posting here what @MrsBnow12 posted in the advent calendar thread. Flannels fragrance crackers have 20% off with code FF20 on frasers website. There's lots of other beauty and fragrance products in the offer too 😊

Wanted to be warm and cosy so finally broke out Vyrao Witchy Woo. Very much an autumn winter, hat and gloves smell for me. Great lasting power.

I love Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique and Spiky Muse. Think Spiky Muse just about cinches it for me, even though it’s a bit soapy, people ask me what my fabric conditioner is when I use it.

🤣 Oh no! Maybe I won't like spiky muse next time I try it then. I'm not usually a fan of perfumes that smell like fabric softener 🤣

Witchy Woo is Halloween in a bottle for me.

No frags for ages except a couple of spritzes of green tea when I’m in the mood. But today I decided to
use my ambre vanille body oil after a shower and remembered how much I like it this scent. Really needed a cosy comforting scent today. Body oil was enough as had some physical therapy and didn’t want to offend any one. I’m keeping an eye out for any fragrance edits as I miss trying new things but they just don’t seem to be a thing in SE Asia.

Actually I’ve just been inspired to wear gris charnel after reading your comments here. We’re having a rare rainy day so a good time for it as it just doesn’t work here otherwise

Cheeky nip into space nk on way to work, had a spritz of mo ghost absolu and I do really like it despite it being to my.nose quite different to the original. Still not sure if id use my grand discovery voucher on a fb, its a big commitment, but I wanted this last year and ummed and ahd. Love mg original but its so fleeting!
Grand discovery kit due to land today... excitement! I want to properly test and consider all the samples before deciding on the fb. Last time I only bought it as I knew I wanted to get mumbai noise, and sold half.

Im not either but didnt get that vibe. For me its a slightly zingy, fruity one. Bal d'afrique vibes but not as sharp. I find bda too sharp for me.

Why not?

I’m just a bit over them. I used to wear M01 all the time, I still like it but the various versions have been in so many edits etc that I have a lot of minis and travel sizes.

Ooo that is exciting!! I feel mo ghost is perfect for this time of year 👻

Thank you for the perfume 😍 it's my SOTD for tonight, I love it, it's so autumnal and cosy 🩷

The grand discovery kit has landed! Its so beautiful, I almost dont want to open/ use it.

If I had the patience to wait til advent it would be s great advent calendar as 24 samples. But I dont.

Paradoxe virtual flower tonight. Getting into the Paradoxe range, although radical essence I think im getting over. Its a bit too heavy. Virtual flower I wasn't expecting to like as much as I do.

Penhaligons Luna today. It'll be horrible weather tomorrow so I'm trying to decide what to wear tomorrow to cheer me up.

I've just bought Vyrao Witchy woo on vinted, the earlier mention of it really intrigued me 😊

Oh cool! We’ll be smell sisters this autumn 🤣. I got it in the Liberty Precious Potions edit by the founder Yasmin Sewell, I love it. It wasn’t a popular edit on here but very me. I really really like Vyrao Ludeaux, the peachy pink one, and might buy that.

🤣Yep! I'm easily influenced! 🤣 Is that the one from the Space Nk fragrance calendar? If so, I really didn't like that one, but I managed to sell it quickly on vinted 😊

Ah really what didn’t you like? I didn’t try it on my skin only a tester strip. I think I like saccharine fruity smells, as I really like BORNTOSTANDOUT Black Mango as well even though I said it smells like peach schnapps.

Granado fervo intenso on one hand, getting slightly cocoaey vibes but not in a gourmand way, more a fruity tangy way. Not sure about this one. May grow on me. I find Granado a difficult house to love!

Other hand has matiere premiere vanilla powder - omg I forgot how strong thsi one was. Not a safe one for the office. Nice for bedtime though. It's more floral/natural than a gourmand, creamy vanilla. I do like it. Seems to have been in quite a few of the addy cals this year.

Have taken the wrapper off the grand discovery kit and looked lustfully at the contents but it's too special to waste so I'm going to try and use it when I can properly put my nose to it. Have pretty much decided on the mg absolu as my full bottle.
