I've never heard of them before, I had a look at a few others but the sizes were tiny so I just stuck to that discovery box. I'm looking forward to receiving it now though 😍 Do you know if they're quick at sending?

Gucci Gardenia Intense for me today - feeling lovely 🌹

I've only ordered once before and that came quickly iirc.

I really like FF. It's my fave of all the ones I've tried so far. Not really sure how to describe it. It's a light scent but does last a reasonable amount of time. I think you probably would like it, or at least wouldn't hate it. 😄

Ode Ona Carte Blanche from the liberty scent kit today. Suprise like as its a lemony one but quite mellow, not sharp.

On the way I have a sample of crystal saffron by matiere premiere, this is serious huffing territory and it's strong, not office friendly.

Also my byredo mo ghost absolu, its left the warehouse in France on its journey to me, hopefully arrive by Saturday.

Byredo have such lux packaging! I hope you ordered the gift box for yourself

I am still sticking with velvet aura.

SOTD is Prada Pardoxe Radical. In an attempt to finish the 2ml sample off I've def oversprayed. It's quite strong. Luckily I'm at home.

Can I ask what you all do with the sample testers? I’ve got a little stack now and have been yanking the plastic top off for recycling but wondering if there is a better solution

Ooh i like that one. It is strong though. Don't know if I could wear it all the time. Nice as an evening/bedtime scent.

I've been suprised that I quite like the paradoxes, the original is nice.

Oh god yes, definitely for me. I had a suprise tax rebate of a few hundred quid so of course I spent most of it on perfume.

I am getting boring but still only on mood for velvet aura. My problem with it is longevity and I wonder do I need to move it to my night rotation with Amber Vanille as that's also one I find ultra comforting but short lived...

No news from my space nk or liberty kit yet.

Gris charnel extrait today. Im gonna be honest and I say I prefer the edp. This still nice but heavy on the spice, less so on the creamy tea. I got the extraits kit at discount so it was actually less than buying the edp.

Mojave ghost abdolu should land today! Haven't bought a huge bottle in ages.

Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk again this morning. I think I'm going to have to get a bigger bottle of this (only have 1.2ml atm), I'm finding it so comforting on these dark mornings. Whenever anyone mentions gris Charnel it makes me want to run and put it on 🤣

I had a vanilla milk sample from snk and it's lovely. Wish they had put that in the cracker instead of vanilla salt!

Yes, me too, I like it so much more 😊

Liberty scent kit arrived. I like it more then any of the 4 fragrance advent calendars I bought this year.

There is one straight now as I know the scent - Sandalwood Temple. I now have 2 10mls if anyone is looking for swap.

room service is the standout for me after quick sniff on paper tester, but testing 10 fragrances in short time is not great - it may change.

Trying out Phlur Cherry Stem today from a sample I got from SNK. I quite like it. It's a soapy cherry. Invokes a memory of a childhood bubble bath scent. I don't have an urge to buy it but if it turns up in a future edit or AC I'd wear it.

I sold that one based on fragrantica reviews - can't keep everything. Have you tried the Oda One carte blanche yet? Think that may be up your street.

I have mixed feelings on this one. It's lovely but I have other cherry scents I love more. I think cherry of first place goes to very good girl although I'm torn between the normal VGG and the elixir.

Mamajuju is going in the no pile too. It's so strong!

I really want to try the Phlur cherry stem. I was tempted to buy some stuff from SpaceNK just to get the sample 😳🤣

I didn't love it myself. I hate to admit but I am not in mood for Kayli burning cherry either. The one cherry I love is Tom Forde lost cherry. I tried dupes, fakes - they don't compare. I have small 30ml bottle of the original and I use it sparingly to get more years out of it!

I've not seen the best reviews for it. I like the BDK rouge smoking, but I don't own it, I've only smelt it in store. I might have to try out the Tom ford one. I actually don't own any Tom ford perfumes, so I may need to change that 🤔

My the perfume society order arrived today 😊 I can't wait to try them all and review them! 🩷
