For someone that loves mango, I’ve never found a mango perfume for me. I’ll add BTSO to the sniff list.

SOTD flora Danica turn the page. Liberty edit, new brand to me. I really like it. Smells slightly 90s floral at first then dries down to a light vanilla woody vibe. Very pleased.

Vryao The Sixth for me today. I usually wear this in warmer weather but it was in the car. I was out early this morning 😁

JM Ginger Biscuit today. It was close to hand and I need to wear it over the coming weeks as it's not one I'll reach for when spring arrives. It's very season specific but I really do like it.

Veronique Gabai Délices des Bois today. This was in a recent Liberty Scent Edit.
My notes say ‘Fig. Green, woody, creamy. Stays close to the skin.’
It’s less green than Debaser on my skin. Nice, but not FB worthy.

I really need to sort all my perfumes into seasons. I may make that a job in the ‘middle bit’ before NYE

Agree on both - love mango, can't find mange perfume I like. And exact same view of Turn the Page, I end up buying bottle

@MiaN ah interesting. It’s quite reasonably priced I thought. I’m building up a def and def maybe full bottles, and I’ve only got 3 on there now, for when I use up my 10mls. This is a definite contender.

@RoseTeaLady I did the delice de Bois yesterday- I liked it a lot but it disappeared. The only other one I tried is verticaloud which I alternate between liking and not. It’s been nice to go through all the scent edits and freebies from last 4 months for December 🎄

I managed to get 50ml + 10ml set for 68e from niche beauty. They do % off offers very often

@Lurkingshark I could just smell it after about 5hrs if I stuck my wrist under my nose. Completely gone now. Pity.

ariane grande mod vanilla- very gentle, comforting scent.

I've been using the cult beauty stockings to put the perfumes for the office at work in . Yes, 8 people including one fella in the main office + 6 directors will all be getting a perfume from MOI this year! Hope they like them!

Another one - elie saab elixir love. I picked up the John Lewis scent box that was out a while back, for a decent price. Unusually it had quite a few in there that I like - sunset hour, gg blush and narciso all of me intense. This one I was going to sell but had a little sniff and it got me - it's a cherry rose. I like cherry and I'm rose- curious, this is nice and gentle more rose than cherry but the cherry softens it.

Also in there was oud for greatness (candle) with a little sample of the perfume, which I kept. I've listed the candle but if it doesn't sell I'll happily keep it. And chloe 5ml and something else, but all in all this was good set.

I’m craving by the fireplace a lot recently. Think it’s a nostalgic scent for me and I’m feeling a little homesick. Contemplating buying a fb, as I only have a smaller size which is almost gone. Aside from that I’ve just realised how many new fragrances I have now coming my way, through the edit, gwp and advent calander, so now will be a good time to really get through the samples and smaller sizes I have. I might discover a new love or make space for the new discoveries yet to come. So my sotd/e will be all over the place.

@paristotokyo what do you do with the ones you want to move on?

I am not feeling too well this Morning, I will be taking it easy with Velvet Aura again

M&S BAC is Soft Gardenia EDT today. https://www.marksandspencer.com/gardenia-and-vanilla-eau-de-toilette-100ml/p/hbp60677854 gardenia vanilla and sandalwood . There isn’t an exact Fragrantica listing but this seems similar https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Marks-Spencer/Gardenia-Vanilla-82990.html the reviews are good. I like it on first spray but it very much smells like a nice house cleaning product to me, rather than a personal perfume.

I think I’m going to spray M&S white coconut today

@BakeOffRewatchusually I’ll repurpose them, usually as a room spray or I’ll pass on to someone I think may like it. I don’t have many larger size bottles though as I truly have to love it so sample sizes are usually easy to get through.

@paristotokyo you’ve inspired me to wear By the Fireplace today. Perfect for the dark days.

@MiaN I hope you feel better really soon

I have it in my spare bathroom!

That sounds nice. Sad that I missed it.

I haven't tried this yet. Sounds intriguing.

@HolidayHattie It’s a really pretty scent. By the way, let me know if you’d still like Room Service and I’ll pop it in the post to you.

There are still some on ebay...

What do the perfume experts think of this perfume discovery set by Diptyque? I’ve never smelled their perfumes before though have had small candles, I loved the smell of the rose candle and gave it away as don’t use. £115 for 5x7.5ml.

quite floral so I think I would like it. Have beauty drop credit to use.

• Fleur de Peau notes: Musk, Iris, Ambrette, Pink Berries

• Eau Rose notes: Roses Damascena, Centifolia, Artichoke, Chamomile, Litchi

• Do Son notes: Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Amber Wood

• Orphéon notes: Juniper Berry, Cedar, Tonka Bean, Jasmine

• Philosykos: Fig Leaf and Fig

This is my SOTD too. Light floral/fruity, supposed to have similarities to Daisy. Will be better for spring/summer. I thought I already had it in my Discover set but I don't, which is good. I might use it when I want something light and inoffensive but can't imagine I'll reach for it over others very often.
