It doesn't last long, its nice enough but nothing fb worthy

This morning I put the lay flat down on the floor and asked my DDs to choose a perfume. Kept them quiet whilst I got ready! Baby just pulled them all out, eldest sniffed them all and chose Thameen Bravi. That’s the one I wore everyday last summer before DD2 arrived so found it interesting she picked it. Her commentary as she sniffed each one was so funny 😂

Father Figure today. It’s more vanilla than I remember from trying it before. I think I’ve got a cold coming though

Mon Guerlain for me again today as well.

Yesterday on impulse I went for L’Eau Papier by Diptyque and have decided to sell my almost full bottle, it’s just a bit too savoury food smelling to me and I don’t like it anymore 😔 Kinda sad as I loved it for months but it’s a total no for me now.
I really like Eau Duelle EDT by the same house though, that one is staying firmly in my collection.

How are you selling not new perfume @ZeppelinTits ? I have a bit id like to offload now.

@ZeppelinTitsI don’t know what it is but something in l’eau papier is repulsive to me. I physically recoiled the first time I sniffed it. Very dramatic but true! Must be an ingredient.. off to research. Eau duelle is lovely though, I agree.

Just on eBay usually, obviously you will lose a far bit compared with the RRP you paid but if it’s in demand it will sell eventually at the right price.

You used to be able to sell slightly used bit they've clamped down on it now if its not fully unused the bot picks it up and the listing gets closed

I need to join a FB group I think.

Me too, not sure how you find/ get admitted to one as they must be wary of fakers. Can anyone let me know if they are in one?

I am. Theres quite a few Beauty freaks ones. There are a lot of rules so read them first as they are quite strict. X

My botd is LBTY wild Rosalinda. Just came across it. I was tempted to open my fragrance advents but resisted. Only a sample presume In liberty beauty drop box.
I'm useless at describing scent but looked it up on fragrantica and woody then rose. Doesn't last very long though. Think I prefer more woody with no rose.

SOTD is Jo Loves Amber Lime & Bergamot. This is such a cosy scent in the cold weather and makes me smile. Have just bought a bottle from CB as I had more credit than I realised!
Warm wood and spice with a hint of citrus.

Been mixing it up a bit this evening, what has been sprayed on me?

DS Durga Radio Bombay. This one was a grower for sure but I have grown to like it, I don't know how they do it but they've managed to get this copper, metallic smell alongside lots of spice, it's quite a sharp spicy effect but I like it

Fugazzi Vanilla Haze. Yay, finally a fugazzi I like, I found this house a bit brash and in your face with some of their other creations. From the cult beauty stocking, which is further reduced anyone who is thinking of getting it. Comes with this, commodity milk, molecule 01 and discotheque heathens.

Rare beauty rare. Can't make my mind up about this one. It's nice, it's sweet, inoffensive, probably a good bedtime scent - but it feels like it's a bit too formulaic and lacks some of the creativity we see with other houses. To be fair, it's not an edgy brand and is probably going for mass appeal

Also tried the oudgasm sampler set by Kayali- the new one, not last years. Wasn't that impressed, the rose oud seemed quite screechy and the vanilla oud quite sickly. The milky musc oud (not the nicest of names for a perfume) is better, reminds me of parisian musc by mat prem. Haven't tried the chocolate oud yet. Definitely won't be purusing this set further.

SOTD is CH Very Good Girl. I fancied a fruity floral.

SOTD is Byredo, Rose of No Man’s Land.
I love rose and this is one of my favourites.

No 19 poudre for me today :)

Granado tropicalia. Not as fruity as I thought, vinted buy. Only lasted about 2/3 hours.

I’m off to stack as many codes things on cult beauty to get a Christmas perfume gift. BF is overwhelming this year!

I went for Afnan cherry bouquet today. it is a lovely cherry, any cherry fans please take note.

Is anyone else a tad disappointed at the lack of BF offers, I think the problem is they've been offering since the beginning of November so all they can do now is reduce the price slightly or throw in a rubbish gwp. Although I am willing to be proved wrong tomorrow, who knows.

X post. I think there has been some good deals but I’m trying not to buy too much. I still am adding HN frag calendar to my bag every so often even though I am def not getting it.

@IDontHateRainbows are you waiting for the crazy Byredo calendar to drop?

No, as it's actually far better value to get the pharmacy2u deal of 3 x 12ml for £42 and this has the usual suspects gypsy water, bal d'afrique etc but unfortunately no mojave ghost.

I'm a 15 minute tram ride (from work) to HN, and weighing up whether to get another one - have sold what I wanted to off the other HN frag cals quite easily.

Resisted HN as some late in the day work came through- phew. SOTE is bdk rouge smoking extrait. I like this one, it's a deeper and more muted one than the original which is also bloody lovely.

Not sure if I will get any BF deals, I'm reaching saturation point. Very possibly considering the liberty men's calendar as in many ways it beat the womans, if I can use BD discount and points, and if it reduces.

Marly fans, the 4 x 10ml feminine set is on escentual at £62 with code extra12 . I've succumbed. Also popped in a couple of guerlain eyeliner.

Decided not to get the liberty mens calendar. Its still full price, no BD discount and my points haven't come through, so that's a no on 3 elements

@IDontHateRainbows Thank you for info on Marly, both the women’s and men’s sets were discounted so picked up both.
