Velvet Aura for me again. I don't remember wanting to wear sane perfume every day for a week for years! I may need to accept I will buying few spares.

I won't be using my hn code, if anytime is interested. I would consider the beaty one but they didn't give me code for it!

Thank you so much, I asked for one on the main advent thread and have used this.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for the Perfume Society at the moment. I hope no-one there gets into serious trouble for any financial losses on the Deluxe box if it is a mistake.

Indeed, not sure if i should feel guilty or not. Rather surprised the glitch is still going and no one has realized, they mustn't know about us!

@MrsBnow12 I’m weighing it up but I don’t think I want enough of it, even with selling the others. What swung it for you?

I'm wondering if it's OK with them as the 'glitch' is still there. So maybe it isn't a glitch? 😕

That's a fuck ton of perfume for only £22.....it can't be, box is supposed to be £65 on top of the £22 subscription thingy.

The boadicea lannasea alone is worth £30!

@Lurkingshark i paid full price for it and have no regrets. It's a great calendar. There's so much in there to try 🥰

@MiaN I got a code for the HN beauty a few weeks ago, I did post it on the main ac thread but no one said they used it. Do you want to try it? HNADVENT-CcTOZkYNkqAlMK7rpVQQ

SOTM is Kilian Apple Brandy. I probably should've sold this one. I only just like it so I'll probably forget about it once it no longer feels like halloween / spooky weekend.

It is such a good deal, but if it was a glitch, they probably would've paused sales on Friday after a load of us put in orders to get it sorted. I actually didn't realise it had gone through as free until I checked my email confirmation. They are legally allowed to cancel orders too if there's an obvious price glitch.

I love Delina and have been debating the PDM advent but this way is more pocket friendly as I have the Valaya from the Harrods calendar.
I also love the Vanilla Powder so handy to have a spare.
I think if you want at least half of the fragrances it is worth it.

I am very fickle and wear a different scent everyday so don’t buy full bottles anymore and love trying new and different ones.

thank you. I don't know if the codes are unique but I am getting code not valid. Maybe it was already used by someone

Afternoon delight by maison margiela today. Its lovely but so weak. Getting through my 10ml in no time at all. On the plus side, it means its more office friendly.

Lurkingshark · 02/11/2025 10:23

Thanks both. I’ve got FOMO and a voucher- but also the liberty scent kit, a bunch of samples, and some skincare.

MiaN · 02/11/2025 10:25

to be fair, while I would love 25% discount for HN beaty I absolutely do not need another advent.

I purchased replica of long discontinued perfumes few years ago, and I want to warn you - they do not last as long as regular perfumes do. Not in my experience. Buy smaller sizes and use up quicker (apr age about 2 years). By replica I mean dupes, not the actual Replica brand with original perfumes.

I would love to try Killian Apple Brandy - do you want to swap it for something?

Replica the brand don't last very long either!

SOTD is Vanilla Salt. It’s ok but I don’t love it. I don’t think vanilla is my note.

MiaN · 02/11/2025 13:09

I actually mean that the perfume went off completely, smelling bad. They were really long lasting when new. Shobi perfumery. I do not like supporting fakes usually but due to perfumes being discountiued, obsene prices or very poor longevity I have tried few. They were fine, but went off in few years.

I feel vanilla salt will shine in spring/summer. I like it enough, even though vanilla is not my scent. I think many vanilla perfumes smelled like burned rubber - this one does not.

Ohjoyohbliss · 02/11/2025 13:12

I'm trying to decide what to wear today. I'd like something warm, cosy and maybe a bit spicy. Suggestions?

Maybe I'll just go for Sandalwood Temple.

Mamajuju by vyrao would fit that brief.

It was in one of the frag Cals but I bought so many I forgot which one

I wore that yesterday (see earlier post.) It didn't give me the warm and cosy vibe I'm after.

I don't have most of these. Babylon and Angel's Share I do have little samples of somewhere so I'll see if I can find them.
