I ordered two backups for Velvet Aura and it went out of stock. I had discount code, and it was getting sold out in store, I don't want to be left without any time soon. I sprayed on clothes only this morning, I can still smell it but very close to me. My husband couldn't smell it while in the car. ah, why does affortable perfume I like so much have to be temporary edition.

for the record, I don't do backups - I don't have any other back up product perfume or not. It really appeals to me

Angel's Share it is. Quite boozy at first sniff, definitely autumnal. Good choice. Now I've rediscovered my Killian mini discovery set, I'll have to try all the others too.

I'm new to Killian but was quite impressed with Angel's share and Apple Brandy. Still to try roses on ice, scent profile didn't initially appeal but I'm trying to expand my olfactory repetoire, and I've recently had some surprises with new scents that I wouldn't have thought I'd like. I guess that's the whole point of getting the smaller sizes, although I still sell 2/3 of what I buy to pay for the rest!

Roses on ice is lovely too. I like intoxicated too. Those are the 4 I like from what I tried. "Kilian Hennessy is a direct descendant of the Hennessy cognac founder, Richard Hennessy, and is linked to the Hennessy Group through his family heritage", his family knows how to make booze - he knows how to make boozy perfumes.

Roses on Ice, Good Girl gone Bad, Sacred Wood and Smoking Hot are the ones I have still to try.

SOTE FDB Sirene for my husband's bday meal 😍 Really like this one from the HN FAC 💕

I really like Good Girl Gone Bad. I love Angel’s Share and Apple Brandy too. I think I liked Roses on Ice but I can’t remember. It’s been a busy few weeks for new perfumes 😁

Dare I say that I usually keep everything? Unloved scents are used as room sprays. I bought two of the previous scent kits from Liberty and sold the ones I didn’t love, but that’s really unusual, my perfume cocktail cabinet is heaving at the moment

Tried roses on ice and it's a like! I can be a bit funny with rose but this is very fresh, gentle and does have a fresh, almost ice-y feel, I can imagine this being lovely on a hot summer's day but it doesn't feel too out of place right now. Happy with the sample and the opportunity to try a decent amount ( I hate the 1.5ml or 2ml samples as if I like them, they are almost gone as soon as I realise)

I understand now why there is a boozy element to all the Killian's I've tried - admittedly only 3 - angel's share, apple brandy and roses on ice. Roses on ice does conjure up the image of a fresh gin or vodka cocktail with of course plenty of ice. The rose is very subtle in this - barely there, which is maybe why I as a rose- on - the - fencer am quite enjoying it. I tend not to like rose unless it's either blended with a lot of oud (looking at you Eldo Nostos and Scherzo) or very subtle/aquatic like this. Rose Saltifolia is another one I quite liked, not enough to get a full bottle but if I was going to venture into Rose territory that would be on my list.

I believe m&s do a good dupe of this so may be worth a look? Really inexpensive too!

Fico di Amalfi Aqua di Parma is gorgeous sweet summer citus and very heavily discounted on allbeauty. I like this type when I exercise so I had to purchase a full bottle

I need to stop buying now!

Favorites from Liberty kit so far?

Not sure about today, I feel like velvet aura again but may go for something else

SOTD. God & Moon - sweet and warm

Favourite one i knew: bibbi vanilla factory
Favourite suprise: ode Ona carte blanche

Still a few to try as im pacing myself!

The CB stockings (including the fragrance one) are now available 🧑‍🎄🎄🥰
Cult Beauty Little Luxury Scents (Worth over £125)
https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/beauty-box/cult-beauty-little-luxury-scents-worth-over-125/17510754/

If only buying one stocking use code BDAY15 for £4.50 off.

I bought the perfume one as I've been curious about the DIscoteque scent. The Fuggazi Vanilla I've haven't tried. The other two will probably go on Vinted.

Yeah, it's the discotheque one that I'm the most interested in 😍 but I'm also interested in commodity milk after seeing reviews and people mentioning it on here. I'll definitely list for sale EM01, I know I don't like that. Interested in Fugazzi too, hoping it's not like purple and disappears after 5 mins.

I bought the CB fragrance stocking for myself, plus the beauty one for a gift. There's 15% off if you purchase 2

I was excited that Vanilla Haze was in the CB stocking but I’ve realised it’s the extrait de parfum and apparently this is quite different to the EDP.

SOTD Creed Queen of Silk from the Flannels box. Gorgeous 😍

I’ve bought le labo eucalyptus off vinted as I sampled it again walking past their store yesterday and I really do love it. Only a 15ml so I might get another. But I find le labo massively overpriced so wouldn’t pay the full price in store. I did drop massive hints to dh but I’m not holding my breath for a birthday surprise and it’s ages away 😂 a relative will bring it with them when they visit me in a few weeks. I really do miss vinted/ebay! Especially during advent season.

Hello, SOTD lurker here...I belatedly decided to order the Perfume Society boxes but received this email today. I've asked them to cancel the full order. I dont mind because it was almost too good to be true!

Same here! I love Vanilla Haze and was wearing it yesterday. I read the reviews for the extrait and wouldn’t blind buy. Not a fan of Molecule 01 either, so have saved my pennies.

I like Molecule 01 so I may end up keeping that one too. I do have a travel size already though so not sure.
