@JoRaRaRa Oh noo, this is too much to tempt me😂 Hows the Malin & Goetz?

OvaHere · 15/10/2025 16:38

Mine arrived too. I finally got to smell Miami Shake after it was missing from LF and I've previously missed some edits with it in. Loved that one and wish it was bigger.

Haven't tried the M&G strawberry yet as it's sealed. Toying with trying to smell it somewhere first before deciding if it's a keeper.

I wasn't keen on Vyrao at first, I would describe it as mouldy peach but weirdly it started to grow on me after a little while. On the fence with that right now.

FM Acne Studios - smelled this before and wasn't keen. It's very soapy to my nose.

DedCool is very sweet and quite nice but I find it a bit generic Vanilla and I have quite a few Vanilla scents so not keeping.

@JoRaRaRa how much did you get for the DS&Durga? I think dank is a reasonable description. I'm not keen.

Sold that too 🤣 it didn't appeal to me.

These ones have sold already:
M+G strawberry, vyreo, kilian and the DS&Durga.
I've also listed JHAG not a perfume and maison Margiela.

I tried the kilian, JHAG and vyreo whilst out shopping so I knew I didn't like those. The other 3 just didn't appeal to me.

I sold it in a bundle with the M+G strawberry and the kilian. All 3 for £65, probably v low, but I'm not fussed about making a profit, just some of the money back 😊

JoRaRaRa · 15/10/2025 16:47

I need to go seek out the FM acne studios, I don't want to open it just yet. I've opened and sprayed the Glossier You Doux and that one is soooo nice 😍

Caggie09 · 15/10/2025 16:47

@OvaHere This has just saved me £160, sounds like id only like a couple!
@JoRaRaRa Thanks! If i knew id 100% like the full size i would of went for it, too risky😂

OvaHere · 15/10/2025 16:50

The box for SNK fragrance is lovely. It has more structural integrity than the BAC. I've taken out the perfumes I'm not keeping and populated with ones I've bought from Vinted from the HN AC, and the fugazzi from the beauty drop.

I may go take out all the scents I put in the other SNK advent and put them in this one creating one curated perfume AC.

Yeah, I like the dedcool full size, which I'm so pleased about. I would've been gutted if I didn't 🤣

I like it but it feels too similar to others I own. It remind me a little bit of Replica Afternoon Delight I once had a sample of.

Sounds like a great idea! 😍

I think if it's similar to others you've got and you're not going to reach for it, it's best to sell it to someone who will 😊 they get a deal and you get some money to put towards something you will use 🤑

I get so lost on the swapping and creating it’s like watching soneone doing a Rubik cube 😂

Harrods is staying untouched. Everything else is fair game for being swapped about. 😂

Try layering that you Doux with one you recommended before, gris charnel. They go so nicely together xx @JoRaRaRa

RLV has an unboxing of the Space NK fragrance calendar

Has anyone had

https://www.cloud10beauty.com/

ABC ?

I haven't ordered from them but have the site bookmarked because they had a nice AC reasonably priced around 3 years ago. They sell very quickly.
There are often decent sales on various things.

Thank you, I'll be watching that later 😁

RainbowZebraWarrior · 16/10/2025 13:14

Haha @BakeOffRewatch and @IlovePond my talents know no bounds (which really means I spend too much time faffing around with pointless crafts whilst putting off very important jobs)

I've promised on the Christmas thread to shout up when the boots Christmas showstopper lands, so appreciate any heads up on here if it's spotted (I'm watching the freebies / GWP thread too)

I’ve put the Harrods ac in my basket I’m hoping I get a would you like some money off message. It’s worth a try 😃
