I think this one is a bit more feminine then the ones in the advent calendars. I like the one in the harrods calendar, but more because I think it's elegant and strong, it's not girly at all, but I really didn't like the one in HN 😊 I tried to smell some at the hbeauty event, but I knocked all the tester card strips on the floor then hit the table with my bag when picking them up, so I got out of that section before I smashed everything 🤣

My SNK is being delivered today but I've not heard anything about the Liberty one 😕 Has yours been dispatched?

My Liberty says dispatched but I’ve had nothing from the courier. They have sometimes used Amazon in the past

Guerlain Tobacco Honey as the SOTD. Love this, especially as it dries down. If you don't like the smell of honey it's not one for you. I wouldn't wear this to the office, it's strong and a bit of a 'marmite' scent I think.

I loved Sandalwood Temple and am very pleased to get it in the SNK AC.

I haven't tried Scherzo yet but I do have a Miller Harris Discovery Set so must give it a go.

Today I'm still smelling quite strongly of yesterday's Cuir Infrarouge so I'm not sure what will go with that.

Oh gosh that sounds amazing. Frankincense/ nutmeg / cinnamon and black pepper are some of my favourite scents (and ones I often mix when candle making!)

I thunk I'm going to have to invest in this!

I think sandalwood temple would go nicely with infrarouge, if you've started using it yet? Or another more vanilla scent.
I did mix bdk gris Charnel with it on Saturday and that smelt really nice together 😊

Just checked my notes from when I tried it and I said "I liked the frankincense at first but it faded quickly."

Overall it lasted well but the frankincense note didn't.

I found it patchouli heavy, overwhelming most other notes, although I'm not the biggest patchouli fan and I do like this.

SOTD is The Hedonist, which I love. It’s quite strong but I’m WFH. If I’m onsite it’s usually literally on a building site, so strong scents are preferable to many other smells 😁

Yes, out for delivery. I paid extra for next day as going away tomorrow.

Flannels also landed

My flannels is coming between 13:26 and 14:26. Hopefully early in that time slot 🤞 have you had a smell of them yet? 🎉 My SNK scent cracker is getting delivered before 14:50 apparently.

I'm hoping my liberty comes either Monday or Wednesday, I'm out tomorrow and I've taken Tuesday off work to take my niece to a pumpkin patch 🥰

My Flannels fragrance cracker has arrived:
JHAG Juliette - love 😍

Creed Queen of Silk - love 😍

Versace Bright Crystal - it's OK, maybe more a spring / summer scent, it's quite light - I'd recommend smelling this first as it is simpler than the others and can get lost amongst the stronger scents

JHAG not a perfume - doesn't smell of anything to me?

Kilian apple brandy - I quite like it, it feels very autumnal. I think I'll wear it tomorrow when we do Halloween crazy golf outside 🎃👻🕸️ since my witchy woo isn't arriving anytime soon 🙄

Moncler pour Femme - couldn't get the stopper off so can't smell it 🤣🤣

Have opened flannels and tried the apple brandy - love it! Wasn't sure as apple isn't usually a scent I go for but it's a boozy apple pie type scent not your fresh green apple so it is really nice and up my street

Mines arrived but I don't have time to open as I'm in an all day teams meeting, just on a quick break. Looking forward to smelling the Kilian again as it's been on my radar for a while.

If I'd known you were all coveting Witchy Woo I would have passed mine on. I sold it about a week ago but didn't get much for it. It's okay but I decided I don't like it enough to ever actually wear it and I have a couple of Vyrao scents I prefer now over this.

Liberty scent kit has arrived and it's a good un. Loads of perfume in there. 11 frags for £103 (beauty drop members). I know I will like vanilla factory and mamajuju. Some new names in there too - I guess this is how they get known.

I’m still thinking about the Liberty kit. I did buy the Glam one, but I also bought quite a few other things yesterday, so I resisted. For now

In my opinion it is far better than the previous one. Much more variety and better value.

Witchy Woo is not a safe blind buy, it is really unusual scent - I have to be in mood for it
Just had a drop of la bomba again. I don't like the initial spray, I do find the fragrance too sweet but I enjoy the almondy side of it. I will probably use up the travel I have and be done with it however

I love Ellis Brooklyn Florist (the tk max tip) but I am going to resist - I spend a lot on perfume advents and sets last few months. It's like walking in perfume shop - very pretty spring flower shop scent.

SOTD vine thief by liberty- started off a slightly acrid chemically (liquor fragrantica tells me) but 7 hrs later very sweet. Probably too much for me. Completely missed the middle notes. Bid to use up samples, ahead of DIY perfume/ chocolate hybrid calendar.

I’m enjoying everyone’s reviews - @JoRaRaRa I’m stalking the gisou hair one now on vinted but some others saved down.

If anyone does goes to liberty ( or selfridges I think) do go smell and look at the Dries Van Noten scents in the main hall. Possibly the most beautiful bottles I’ve seen and some lovely scents- the assistant was new but very sweet (not sample freebie sweet but nice).

I tried the Ode Ona carte blanche from the liberty kit .Expecting this to be an aldehydric laundry type scent like byredo blanche but it's far nicer. citrussy, a bit musky. A gentle citrus though not sharp. Just goes to show you can't tell from the scent profile what they will be like sometimes. I could definitely enjoy wearing this now and then, as a change from my more regular scents.

I was confused as it comes in a massive box saying recharge pod so I thought it was some sort of weird home fragrance thing that they'd put in by mistake. But no, inside is a regular travel size spray, so don't be confused by the box those who get this kit.
I reckon it will sell out soon this scent kit so don't delay if you want it!

Anyone who got the Flannels fragrance edit for her, can you let me know if you both Juliette has a Gun perfumes? My box only has the Not a Perfume and Juliette is not in the box, has everyone else received both? x

Yes, should have both. Good luck with HOF customer services though, not the best

Thanks, I ‘spoke’ with a BOT and got a £5.20 refund which I am satisfied with as I already have the Juliette and don’t have to faff with returning it and trying to get a new one
