Father figure is my fave Phlur scent of the ones I've tried. I already have a travel size so won't buy this.

Commodity Milk+ today for me. Really comforting.

I've been wearing the last couple of days BTSO Black Creme I ordered in the 15ml. It arrived very quickly despite coming from the US.

I really love it. It's exactly what I hoped it would be. Wondering if I should have bought the full size despite the expense it's probably better value when shipped from US. You never know if you will like it though.

I resisted the Liberty kit but got the SNK cracker.

It's a magical brew, if you love chypres, you'll love this!

Depending on where you're located, most good department stores such as John Lewis carry it or eBay have some decants and samples available. It's also very long lasting and perfect for autumn and winter, I hope you can try it out soon.

I think I like chypres but I'm still not too experienced at distinguishing between the various scent families.

It's definitely on my list to try next time I can get to the big city.

Wow, so glad it worked out for you. Is it sparkly on you?

It's a compliment getter for sure, when you do try it, give it some time to develop on your skin as it's quite strong on the first spray, this is a scent that needs the time to blend with you.

I decided to buy the SpaceNk scent cracker, didn't bother with the skincare one in the end 🤣 I figured I'll be buying the hair perfume again at some point, and I'll only end up buying the fragrances on vinted if someone mentions them 🤣

I've got a few leathery scents lined up to try for autumn, so today I'm starting with Cuir Infrarouge by Crivelli. I'm liking it so far, although I didn't really get any bergamot and I would like a bit more of the raspberry, but I'm enjoying the depth.

Not that I've noticed.

I think I’m going to get the Liberty scent edit.

I’ve no advents so far, a bit of vinted stalking coming to nothing and skin playing up so I don’t want to muck around with new potions. Plus so many vouchers.

it’s either that, the men’s calendar or a fancy scarf.

I went for the cracker as I like Ellis Broklyn and I want to try the hair perfume. I had 10 euro credit, I had money in paypal account from selling vanilla skin plur form one of the advent calendars so I had to pay the grand total of 1 euro for the set.

Do Liberty have new scent edit?

Yes x

The scent cracker looks really good value and I had father figure and vanilla salt on my 'to try' lists, so no brainer.

Every time I think no more purchases they relase another one!

I'm actually going to Liberty this Sunday - my daughter is into fabric so taking her for a special trip to the fabric bit, and I will be visiting the perfume lounge, although I'm not intending to buy anything there. Not unless all these kit are out and I get tempted!

I ordered the kit, it's really good value for 11 high end perfumes! I don't know and I can not test in store most of them so really happy to be able to order.

These links are not on the website so I don't know who is getting them and putting them on here but I'm very grateful as it means we get a few days advance notice before they go on general sale.

I'd never even heard of those 2 but I now want them 🤣🤣 They both sound really nice and the type of fragrance that I'd like 🥰

Oh I love the Liberty fabrics 😍 will you be stopping by the Christmas shop? I usually go every year to London at the end of November, but we're off to Tallinn this year instead. It's going to be very strange not visiting the Harrods, liberty and selfridges christmas shops, I usually buy a bauble from 1 or 2 of them (need a bank loan to buy any more 🤣) and then some Christmas biscuits or chocs from F&M. Then I get annoyed at my husband that he eats them too fast and doesn't savour them when they've cost so much 🤣

Im.going to be spending as much time there as I can... they'll have to drag me out!

I’ve just gone into Liberty again. Commodity are having an engraving event where they’ll engrave 100ml bottles, so with the 10% discount I went for it and bought the Milk Orchid. They gave me Juice sample which is fruity and rose, looking forward to trying that. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Commodity/Juice-94564.html

I tried Vyrao Ludeaux again, this time on the back of my hand as my wrists have the Commodity Milk+ sample and added M&S Discover White Coconut later as it gets a bit boring, the combo is really nice. I like it but I think I’m learning there’s scents I like and there’s scents I actually want to wear all day. The Vyrao Ludeaux and BTSO Black Karak/Creme/Mango fall into the like to smell but not wear category for me.

Liberty store is lovely, I went with baby BakeOff last week and plan to take pre-schooler BakeOff next week for the Christmas shop. Wishing you a great time with your daughter @IDontHateRainbows . Did you take her to the Bridgerton fabric and exhibit in Liberty? That was so good. The kits don’t launch in store until Monday 27th October, online only until then. @lightandbreezy gave the alert at 8am this morning and I copied the links over.

Oh apparently the engraving is every Thursday and Saturday 😂. I’m impulsive in real life! https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/events/complimentary-engraving-with-commodity.html

Join Commodity at their pop-up on Thursdays (4–8pm) and Saturdays (2–6pm) and add a personal touch to your purchase with complimentary engraving on any 100ml fragrance bottle. All orders over £250 or more will also receive an exclusive hand-filled concrete candle whilst stocks last.

Ends 9th November 2025

@BakeOffRewatch concrete candle?! Sounds heavy 🤣

At the opposite end of the value spectrum for perfume kits…..
