Angel’s Share today. I think this will be a regular over the next couple of weeks.

Ouai have some new releases joining their St Bart’s body mist collection. I’m intrigued to try. The Ibiza which has notes of chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon. The Santorini has peach, berries and rose. Both sound good to me.

SOTD blue talisman ex nihlio. Fresh more of a spring one I think. I’m not a fan of the fresh green style but I like this one, sits in contrast to my Christmas jumper though. I’m working my way through the liberty edit from Oct/nov.

@MiaN i enjoyed the top 100. CKone and lou lou should be on there though! Persolaise does a nice round up video but he’s one step on for me. Did you like the vyrao? DH is enjoying the 3 we have to try which is interesting.

@JoRaRaRa I KNOW! I got a few 10ml back ups now from vinted and will keep an eye out at discounters incase they turn up. However, it gives me a nice slow challenge for 2026 to find a similar replacement. Unnecessarily I may add. 😁

Me too, trying not to blind buy but feeling tested by both

Never been into Ouai myself. SOTD Vanilla Salt by Ellis Brooklyn. I like this combo, gives a beachy vibe although it's not too 'sunscreeny'.

I thought it was a strange time to launch these as they invoke summer holiday vibes based on the names.

I'm not allowing myself any new body mists until I've used the 4 I already own. Which I guess will take the best part of next year to use up.

@OvaHereI think the Ibiza has some more winter friendly notes with the cinnamon and vanilla perhaps.

@Lurkingshark
I think Sana Jardin are going out of business based on a note on their website

I just looked at their website and can't see anything. I need Tiger by her Side and Celestial Patchouli!

@HolidayHattie there’s a non fulfilment note right at the top. Google suggests other places still have bottles ( dept stores, fragrance shop) but ST is not in stock. Good luck! Apart from Stella, I’ve not had any favs discontinued- and I only realised years later with that.

@Lurkingshark Oh, I see it now. Well spotted!

Joining you on Blue Talisman Extrait today. A nice fruitiness drying down to a softer base. I'm not finding it as long lasting as the Fragrantica reviews suggest.

@Lurkingshark I've managed to pick up another ST on vinted 😍

Today's SOTD was day 5 from the Harrods fragrance advent calendar. This was one of the fragrances that I bought the calendar for. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like it and it would have to be sold or sit unused on my dressing table. But I've worn it today and absolutely love it! It's very strong, so I held the bottle as far away from me as poss and just sprayed 1 spray on my chest and I've been getting wafts of it all day 💚 Gorgeous 😍 I'm not impressed though that the label was folded, it looks like a seconds. I know I'm being picky, but I like things to be perfect 💁🏻‍♀️ the bottle is still amazing though!

Image marked as sensitive as I don't want to spoil the surprise for others later in the month 😊✌️

Nest Indigo today, a fruity fig. Said to be a cousin of Dear Polly, but I don’t get the lovely smoky tea scent with this that I do with Polly.
Yesterday was CH Good Girl. This is growing on me!

Oribe Cote d'Azure is gorgeous but probably more suitable for the summer. I crave Ginger Biscuit today

The PDM set from escentual arrived safe and sound this time and has been stowed away in the 'self present' pile for xmas. Still awaiting the BDK set from Beauty the shop which ships from Spain, I wouldn't usually buy from overseas but I got a BDK set from them previously and all was good. They are worth checking out especially as they do 10% discount on first buy. I got the BDK set for £65 rather than £85 (I used a second email address so got the 'first purchase' deal again)

SOTD bibbi vanilla factory. Not sure if I'm getting a bit of a cold as it doesn't smell as strong as it did before, which I'm sure is me rather than the perfume.

@IDontHateRainbows so glad the PDM has arrived safely.

SOTD is Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka. I like it but I can’t really smell it on myself now, after a couple of hours. I did see a friend earlier and she said I smelled nice so perhaps I’m getting a bit nose blind with all the stronger scents this time of year

Sot afternoon is Ariana grande mod vanilla. Very under rated for the money. Its a soft vanilla with gentle plum tones.

Fugazzi Vanilla Haze (again.) Going out later and wanted something that didn’t need topping up.

Yes, big shout out to Escentual for such wonderful customer service and what an absolute bargain at £61 when full price is £180

On the subject of the PDM feminine set, can anyone tell me what they think of Delina Exclusiv/Meliora/Oriana? I am going to wait until xmas day to open but this will make the anticipation more exciting.

Oriana is my favourite PDM scent. I prefer Delina over Delina Exclusif, it's still nice though. I've only smelt meliora in a store, I like it but I'm not sure if it's merged in with others and what I'll think of it when I come to spraying it at home.

Oriana has really grown on me since I got it in last year’s Harrods. I’d be hard pressed to choose a favourite now between that and Delina. I haven’t opened my set yet so I haven’t tried the other two.

Liberty Wild Rosinda for me today. I never thought I’d find a replacement for my beloved Fracas (which is so hard to get now and nowhere near as strong as it used to be) but this is it.

I ordered second SpaceNk advent. I love acne studios.I know many hate it but I swear on busy public transport it's heavenly escape from the stink. I like D&S Durga pistachio, Malin Goetz strawberry, Angel's Share well get used. I had 15 points and for 120e its a steal!

My Perfume Society winter box finally arrived yesterday so today I chose Roberto Cavalli Serpentine. Well actually the cat chose it as she started licking the bottle and chewing the cardboard sleeve.

I love it! Met a couple of friends this afternoon and they liked it too (unless they were just being polite.)

Description from TPS says "Pink pepper, bergamot and blackcurrant sparkle at the opening, while jasmine sambac, lavender, saffron and rose petals create a lush floral heart, melting into vanilla, tonka and patchouli in the base." I can't identify all those notes but I find the overall combination lovely. I can still smell it now, so it has decent longevity too.

This one was my favourite from the box. It really is nice so I'm sure your friends were being genuine when they said they liked it 🥰 unless we both have bad taste 🤣
