I feel same way for Vanilla Leather. Glad I only have 10ml

I need to get myself motivated for the morning walk (hence the out of season citrus) but will put something more cozy and winter appropriate after. It only lasts an hour or two anyway

Blue talisman today - just picked up an extra one from Vinted after falling for it in the liberty kitchens

Lurkingshark · 18/12/2025 09:13

Carte Blanche ode Ona ( liberty scent kit franken advent calendar).

Smells like laundry at first then sandalwood. I need to check notes as there is something in which I do not care for.

@lokijetI can’t wait to try blue talisman when my kit finally reaches me. No sotd except peppermint essential oil as I have a bad tummy.

Is it the pine? I have the same issue with this. From the notes I really ought to like it, but I’m unconvinced. Don’t get any tea or citrus, just woods and pine. Am going to keep and try again in warmer weather.

Lurkingshark · 18/12/2025 11:28

@RoseTeaLady yeah sounds right. Something cleaning-like. I might leave it until spring. Pleasing bottle though!

RoseTeaLady · 18/12/2025 12:26

@Lurkingshark Yes! Cleaning product. Dry down was ok, though.

M&S Sparkle & Shine today. Might as well use it. Quite weak, to my nose, despite being an EDP, but it's nice enough.

QueefofSheena · 18/12/2025 12:47

Kilian’s Love Don’t Be Shy for me today. Strong fruity sweet floral, I’m in a not very fragrant work environment today so it’s sprayed liberally on my scarf 😁

I've boosted it with Zara Cherry Smoothie.

I received the SpaceNK fragrance advent today. I was selling few items when I bought the 1st one and there was argument over Taunt and upset as few people were posting at the same time and one got it. I contacted the girl who didn't get it, and I offered it to her for free (postage cost). She was very appreciative! I hope she enjoys her gift - I added few others as surprise Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl elixir 7ml (from perfume shop advent) Burberry Goddess 10ml (about 9ml left) Prada Infusions Ylang Ylang - about 6 ml left, Rabanne Olymea Absolute Parfum Intense and Versace Crystal Noir form Look Fantastic. I am not in mood for selling right now, and don't want to keep them around so this is my random act of kindness. She seems very young, and I hope she enjoys them.

MM afternoon delight tonight. Love this, and its very office friendly as not overpoweringly strong.

Today's SOTD is You Doux combined with BDK Gris Charnel again 😍 I'm really loving this combination. We had our team Christmas meal out this afternoon, so I felt it was perfect for both the office and festive celebrations 🎄🎊
I need to open my Harrods fragrance calendar for today, I'm hoping it's a cosy scent, perfect for watching christmas films 🤞💚

QueefofSheena · 18/12/2025 20:27

I had to buy something for a gift from Flannels, which I really don’t like doing due to extortionate postage costs. I noticed they are doing some crackers from Off White in various sizes containing a perfume and samples. To sweeten the postage costs I added the £10 one which has a 15ml bottle, a sample and either nail varnish or eyeliner. No idea what it smells like but I figured it’s worth the punt. There are more expensive ones with FS bottles and more samples.

IDontHateRainbows · 19/12/2025 07:31

Afternoon delight again. Im going to be Father Spritzmas at work today with massive sack of perfume for everyone mainly from the cult beauty stockings.

Kayali Milky Musk Oud today. It’s a bit different for me but without being weird or too eccentric. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Kayali-Fragrances/Oudgasm-Milky-Musk-Oud-30-114117.html I can’t smell the notes individually, but think the pepper and strawberry make it more likeable than other ouds usually are for me. https://www.boots.com/kayali-oudgasm-milky-musk-oud-30-eau-de-parfum-50ml-10365179

  • Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Strawberry Cream, Coffee, Saffron
  • Middle Notes: Incense, Sandalwood, Milky Musk
  • Dry Notes: Tonka Bean, White Musk, Silver Oud, KAYALI Signature Accord

Angel’s Share again today. I’ve started to bust out the velvet and sparkles, even if I’m WFH or going to the shops 😁 so it’s Christmassy and fitting. Need to wear it all while it doesn’t look too ridiculous

paristotokyo · 19/12/2025 11:45

Just noticed that the blue talisman that’s in the Liberty scent kit is the extrait version and not the OG that they’ve put in the Liberty advent calendar this year. Seems the extrait is less fresh. That’s a little disappointing for me. Will see!

Good spot - I hadn’t notice - now I have both some will do a “compare and contrast”. Maybe some should invent gcse perfume studies!!!

SOTD Marc Jacob’s cafe rose - one f my centric samples this month

RoseTeaLady · 19/12/2025 19:44

SOTD Fugazzi Angel Dust. It’s what I wear when I can’t think what to wear.

SOTE Diptyque Fleur de Peau. I had a hefty spray in John Lewis. Another floral, powdery musk. Lovely.

paristotokyo · 20/12/2025 05:19

@lokijetooh do share your findings :)

Lurkingshark · 20/12/2025 07:46

SOTD yesterday Vanilla factory BIBBI. It was fine but not fussed.

Today is Vyrao mama juju, I am not sure where I got this. It’s very different, almost no sweetness. Earthy, spicy. I don’t know if I like it but I’m going to see for the day.

Interested if anyone else has tried it?

@lokijet cafe rose is great, but not an everyday for me. Was it you looking for rose scents a while back?

OvaHere · 20/12/2025 10:37

Was just sent early access to a CB sale. For anyone else that has access this 6 x15ml Fugazzi set is 40% off £96 down from £160
