Probably same marketing as the ACs, August launch for December wish lists and purchases.

My Hermes un jardin sur le nil came, I had high hopes for this one. But I’m not sure! It’s definitely the type of scent I like but think there’s just a little sharpness in it that I’m not vibing with. Will see how it settles and I’ll be testing it out throughout the week. Glad I didn’t blind buy this. I’ve got a couple of the other Hermes ‘Jardin’ series on the way to me too. The Mediterranean might be a good one as it has fig. I wasn’t supposed to be getting more samples but here I am….

Given that we are on page 39 I will start thread 7

Penhaligon’s Empressa today. Using up another sample. Smells like Coco Mademoiselle. Nice.

Penhaligons Elizabethan Rose for me again today, sample is now finished, I do have a 10ml in my collection and is one I would make sure I always have.

That's weird, as when I tried it, I thought it smelled very much of milky coffee, which wasn't particularly what I wanted to smell like. The second time I tried it, I felt a bit under the weather and it was quite cosy and comforting. Different body chemistry and different climates!

I got a flashback to my youth and a bottle of O de Lancome the French Exchange student brought me. The descriptions on Fragrantica don't seem to have much in common, but that's what it reminded me of. I'm not a fan.

@HolidayHattieI’ll give it another test! But yeah very soapy and synthetic on me. I was beginning to think maybe I got a fake but there’s a couple of reviews on fragrantica that say the same thing.
