I’m trying BDK Pas Ce Soir tonight. Very strong! I do like white florals but struggle a bit with orange blossom sometimes, but so far the orange blossom in this doesn’t seem too headachy. There’s a lot of amber/patchouli going on too, which I’m on the fence about.

Overall, I like it as a smell but I think it’s a bit too full on for me.

Its one of the few bdk I dont like, too fruity and screetchy. Think quince is a note. I do love gris charnel and rouge smoking though.

Citrus is my favourite but I know what you mean re discovery boxes having lots of different scents.
Im just starting on my fragrance journey so absorbing all the info on here. And making notes 🤣 thank you all. 🥰

I have the Farina cologne from that box, its unopened as I knew from the scent profile I wouldn't like it and its too obscure to have sold on vinted so if anyone wants it, please pm me. I won't charge, just pay for postage.

Sote is nightcap by orabella, its the alcohol free range from Bella Hadid. Smells nice but its so sticky and slow to dry, which i guess is why they usually use alcohol. Not a fan of the texture but I'll see if I can get used to it.

Also got another 2 x Cult beauty fragrance stockings for £51 which gave me the £15 voucher. I love vanilla haze and commodity milk so thought to stock up.

I'm going to Italy in may, so I'm thinking it may be suitable for my holiday. I could wear it with my lemon hair clip 🍋🩷 I'll update in May 🤣

Not much to report on fragrance front. I am sticking with Velvet Aura today.

I am in declutter mood - I used up my Commodity Moss by spraying curtains in living/dinning room I didn't have that much left from my 30ml and I have much better citrus perfumes. I used up 5 ml (Probably about 3 left only) from juniper sling Penhaligon's, which I like a lot but never want to smell like. I binned few Zara from the bathroom as I don't want my bathrooms smelling like this :). I think counting up my stash made me realise I have more travel sizes then I am happy too and I kind of feel I need to focus on perfumes I love and let go of those I like. Particularly if I never feel like wearing them

Tried gypsy water from the byredo kit, its nice but very fleeting!

Any byredo fans, pharmacy2u are doing the set of 3 travel sprays with gypsy water, bal d'afrique and blanche for £43 with code, have had before from them and they are genuine. I think its just last year's stock but its a fantastic deal.

Also on the bibbi vanilla factory today, a deep fruity vanilla.

Also trying Mizensir Golden Oud, which is a rose-oud. I am getting in to this combo. At first all I could smell was the oud, then the rose came through. It's strong so not one for the office. A heavier version of scherzo. Reminds me of Eldo Nostos. A like.

This looks a good offer. Not that I need more but still 🤣♥️

Not sure the link worked.
Sorry im not very technical

Kayali Chocolate Oud today. Wow amazing on first spray. But then the chocolate disappears and I’m just left with Oud which I don’t really like. Going to spray Kayali Pistachio Gelato over the top later to see what it’s like

Thanks for this @IDontHateRainbows as Rose of No man’s land is one of my favourites so picked it up and will sell on the other two. Also got an Estée Lauder Youthdrw reduced to £16.50 for 68ml, it’s one of my mom’s favourites so a present sorted.

Sprayed pistachio Kayali over chocolate Oud Kayali as I am not enjoying it. Pistachio is soapy I don’t like it. Glad I have tester only. Chocolate perfume sounded perfect! I am not really getting a Dubai chocolate vibe. But I have never had Dubai chocolate 🤣. I do think I smell very expensive and like I should be floating around Harrods during a privée shopping session.

Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple today. I kind of dismissed this one when I first got the sample set a couple of years ago, but I’m currently going through a sandalwood phase and I am now really enjoying this one.

I think I need to revisit some of the other scents from this house. I remember really liking Tiger By Her Side and finishing up that sample.

Didn't realise they were doing thr floral set of 3 , also ordered and used the £5 off code again so that's 6 x byredo 12 ml for £86, I will probably keep RONML and Bal d'afrique.

Is there a generic £5 off code that can be used @IDontHateRainbows ? I'm already a P2U customer so can't get the new customer discount code.

I just searched for a code there's a £5 off one QP520

Thank you - that works

I need to stop testing Thé Vanille from Nette discovery set as it's not strong enough for this weather and I am just wasting the sprays. I am interested enough of trying it properly

Anyone looking forward to proper cold day tomorrow to take out the big stinkers? Am I naughty enough to wear something like Lira in work?

Let's do something for fun - you are out for a walk in winter Manhattan (see link for inspiration). What perfume are you wearing?

winter in Manhattan

I am thinking Angels Share, and dreaming about being inside in front of fireplace with glass of brandy and some warm apple pie and a book after the walk. Sometimes I think I am over Angel's Share but it is sooo good for cold day in November/December

Where does this photo take with in terms of scent?

SOTD was Mojave Ghost Absolu. Still my fave fragrance out of everything I own I think. Love wearing this.

drop of Apple Brandy for me tonight, the perfume not the drink. It's lovely for winter evening

I love this one too. Not sure if its my favorite fave. Definitely top 3.

Yes I do have a couple of others that are in competition and I've possibly declared them faves too but definitely top 3.
