@IDontHateRainbows Over 50? I have some catching up to do. But I’m working hard on it! Mine are currently organised into warm weather and cold weather. I have a ‘like’ and ‘don’t like’ list.

Yes and that doesn't include full bottles of which I have around 10 -I try not to buy full bottles though unless it's something I absolutely adore as I'm so fickle and will just forget it in favour of the next thing.

I also have a load in storage that I didn't count - I will probably sell most of these but reserve the right to change my mind!
Took me over a year to build up this collection.

Sote Delina exclusif. Really loving this. Far more than original Delina.

Orange Sanguine today. I may try happy accident again - 30% off plus 20 euro points but I need to see how different to orange Sanguine it is.

I gave up trying to want the right season smells, after all I am off work and the only person I really need to please is myself - as long as my family doesn't hate it, it's ok

I may reshuffle my current most used perfumes moving spiky muse, malin goetz strawberry, jo malone moss & snowdrop as they are my snowdrops to sping contenders

Meeting one of my favourite friends for good perfume & beauty chat. I learned a lot from her about skincare and makeup. I have the you from Space NK advent and fleur de blonde form Look fantastic (it is compared to you often) as it is one of her favorite perfumes.

In the postman's bag today will be the prada infusions set of 3 (vanille, rubarb, ylang) which I picked up at discount from Selfridges. will report back when it is here

Meanwhile I have on today Good Girl Blush which I really wasn't a fan of at first but I find it quite lovely now, it's quite zingy and has some patchouli in there, not my typical notes but I'm widening my horizons.

I love rubharb, that's good reminder as it is lovely in spring time (that is nowhere to be seen but I am in mood for it. The other two didn't work for me, ylang is very suntanning oil form the 90s and vanilla as expected is not working for me - but vanilla lovers would appreciate it more. I do however know people who love all 3 of them!

I've tried the vanilla before and liked it - it's not a sickly vanilla it's probably more akin to vanilla nomad, vanilla with some spicy elements. Very willing to try the other 2 - the whole set was £40 for 3 which is not bad value for prada infusion.

So, it's arrived. The ylang is yummy, not too beachy and very 'white floral' smelling (no idea if ylang is actually a white floral).

Rhubarb is nice, reminds me of spiky muse, a bit too photorealistic but I only just sprayed it so let's see if it settles.

All in all a good little set for £40 with the vanille as well which I haven't sprayed yet as have tried it before.

In the selfridges sale although not sure if any left, not that I'm trying to enable anyone!

SOTD is Kayali Vanilla 28. One of their best scents imo.

SOT last few days has been a 30ml of Valentino Punk Romantic I picked up in the Selfridges sale. An impulse purchase and a gamble but based on the notes I thought I'd like it and luckily I really like it.

It reminds me of Byredo Alto Astral but a bit sweeter and more floral. It's definitely the sort of fragrance I go for. It's strong and lasted really well.

Sounds lovely. I love alto astral. Oh god we are all enablers!

As a bonus the crystal style bottle with the purple coloured scent is aesthetically pleasing too.

I did a bit of a travel size clear out this week and put quite a few on Vinted I'd been hanging onto thinking I might wear them sometime. So I don't feel too bad about the impulse buy.

Definitely have a sniff of this one if you can find it somewhere. It's probably one you'd like too. Though there's always the chance you'll smell it and think what's she on about, it smells nothing like Byredo. 😂

Rhubarb reminds me of spiky muse too. From the infusion range I have also tried and like Iris and Rose - they are all little simplistic but well made imo, good range to explore and that was great price.

Harvey Nichols advent is 100 euro now, and still available. it's insanely cheap, if I was up for selling some I would get another but I don't need one. I am worried how long will they last in Ireland tbh - this is very cheap and still have many in stock

Showing as 'unavailable in my area' so not sure if this is just an ireland thing for you @MiaN
They are crap at stock control/website management, the PDM set of 5 was showing reduced which got me all excited then it shows as unavailable.
I ordered some sunday riley skincare + a nars lip oil from them in the sale recently so not too bothered about the advent.

I've decided to list the rhubarb as don't think it's for me and if I can get £20 for it then the others are like £10 each. Loving the Ylang! Vanilla is ok but has a sort of sour note which I'm trying to get over.

I have also tried the almond/amande from that range which was nice, very heavy but that's what you get with a deep almond note and I quite like that kind of thing in winter.

Due some liberty vouchers on Jan 1st and seriously considering the Dries Van Noten set of 4 - has chamomile satin in which I really enjoyed from the selfridges frag box recently .

It's that or a silk shirt I have my eye on, I don't usually buy expensive clothes.

It was on store, I took photo for someone earing today

I took photo for someone else, not earing. My phone autocorrect is really annoying!

I bought Happy Accident, and received my spacenk order including Myth 50ml and Guava Granita Elis Brooklyn and now its time to go on no buy. Not sure if I can participate here or will it be too tempting!

I like the new Tom Ford Figue perfume but the longevity on skin is shocking for the price

What perfumes you enjoyed most this year?

PDM delina. Received 10ml of this in a kit. It’s pleasant and can see why it’s popular but it doesn’t feel like ‘me’. I’ll use it though. I have another 10ml coming my way too as my sibling will be bringing it amongst the many other things I’ve recently ordered, oops. I may sell that one. I prefer BDK impadia for a similar vibe which is smoother with creamy vanilla undertones.

this year for me:

hera reigns - liberty
dries van noten - sole malaquai - just lovely but so expensive so saving up
veronique gabai - bois one in liberty kit
star confidence- Charlotte tilbury

rediscovery - cerutti image woman- found this is sports direct 🤣

SOTD byredo black saffron. Raspberry, not much saffron. A fav
