SOTD nothing flash today just a bath and body works fig and brown sugar tho I do absolutely love it for this time of yr when it's grey and wet outside and im at home with nowhere in particular to be

I dont think that's a liberty exclusive, they do have the David Bowie inspired one 'wear at maximum volume '. I am interested in cowgirl grass though.

Oh god im going to come away with a full bottle of something aren't I !!!

Happy birthday @JoRaRaRa

It's not until tomorrow, but thank you 🩷🥰

You probably will lol. But remember to ask for a sample or discovery set! Do DS&Durga do that?

Sotd xerjoff casamoretti lira

Apparently you get some samples as part of the consultation. For £25 this is amazing! You dont get the prosecco with this one but its much cheaper at £25 rather than £50.
Fellow London living or visiting perfumistas, they do the special brand consultation with a few others. Ex nihilo and a couple of othef brands. Plus the general one which is more. But I was just saying the other day I want to explore this house so this is perfect, very excited 😊

Sotd
Delina one wrist
Spiky muse the other
Both smelt touch similar. But then didnt.
Delina stronger. Im new to perfume so knowledge at zero 🤣 but did smell similar but then other notes took over
Delina seems to have more depth to it.
Maybe name notes the same.
I could be talking nonsense 😁

All Beauty have up to 25% off Tom Ford fragrances ( some are up to 50% off) - https://www.allbeauty.com/c/brands/tom-ford/

Not just you! Ive broken a few of these its the stoopid bottle design.

The delectable Delina Exclusif tonight, from the countdown calendar. This is absolutely lovely, favorite rose ever and far surpasses original delina.

Torn between this and oriana as fave PDM

SOTD was Brompton Immortals again. I love this so much I can actually see me getting through a full bottle which would be impressive given how much fragrance I've collected.

In preparation for the ds and durga experience i got the ds and durga singles collection for a really good price on CB. Pretty much half price with discount code HIRONSCB and account credit.

Thought the code would only work on skincare but it took £25 off ! Then vouchers another £40. A benefit of buying millions of the fragrance stocking before xmas.

Prada infusion ylang today, lovely tropical floral nice for when dreaming of warmer days.

It is going to start getting lighter soon, isnt it. Still dark when I get up, winter is beginning to really drag.

I wish as a country we did more like winter lights instead of Christmas lights, like most of Europe do. Then we'd be brightening up the darkest days in January too ✨

I've worn this weekend some of my favourite 'luxury' perfumes (aka ridiculously expensive perfumes), Guerlain Ambre Samar, Initio Side Effect, PDM Oriana 💗

Today 💃🥳 I plan to wear Valaya for a pamper morning, Brompton Immortals for a cosy afternoon watching my favourite films with my husband and my girl 🐶 then delina or poal this evening when the family come round for cake 🎂 although, I reckon I'll end up wearing Oriana instead.

Happy Birthday @JoRaRaRa 🥳🎂. It sounds like you are going to smell amazing today! x

Oh yes - I forgot it's your birthday. Enjoy the spritzing.

I think I am going to save my DS Durga set for my actual birthday which is in a couple of weeks. I'll be away, but taking it with me to open on the actual day (DH won't be with me so I'll have to gift it to myself, nothing wrong with that!)

I believe that code is for the whole brand if shes chosen an item from it. I watched the live. So all vieve products as she used a lip product etc. X

Happy Birthday @JoRaRaRa
I hope doggies ok. 🐕
Ours is hopefully on the way to a full recovery. Caught area with claw and had a small wound so hd to dress 3 time a day and stop her getting to it. Nightmare. Shes done nothing but sulk. 🤣♥️

Thank you all 🩷🥳

@Doglover73 aww bless her, does she need to wear a cone of shame? Ours is recovering well, we're trying to encourage her to walk a bit more every day. I'm going to take her out for 5 minutes today, although I'm not sure she'll do 5 mins just yet. It'll be the first time she's gone out, but she's now managed from the back door to the sofa (full length of the house), so we need a bigger space 🥰

So that means she has chosen a DS and Durga scent?

I doubt this is a free choice surely someone is charging the brands for the exposure. .

SOTD is Greenley by Parfums de Marly. I don't recall reading about this on here. Anyone else have it? It's pleasant enough and I'll happily use it but not a stand out for me. Maybe it's the wrong time of year?

Decided to pass on the Saltworks discovery set I got for Christmas, as none of them seemed to work well for me, so into the donate bag it goes. Bringing my collection at the end of January to:

• 4 full bottles
• 2 travel sizes
• 22 samples/decants

Oh wow laddies serious reality check. I have just been trying to sort the ridiculous amount of perfume minis I have (10ml and under) and i have a staggering 150 i mean who needs that amount and i have about 30 full size bottles at a guess. Not all of the minis are genuine some are dupes but still 150. I would have to wear about 10 per day to use them up in my lifetime. Anyway SOTD today amongst forgetting and spraying random ones on is Rolling In Love by killian which was also my wedding perfume last year

Don't worry - I've just counted 242 minis in my stash - not including odd ones in various handbags. Some are duplicates. I have put most of my perfumes together to add to a spreadsheet - so they were all to hand.

I have lots of 1.5mls to get through - I'm going to take some to work to share with colleagues.

Going through my stash I thought I would give Frederic Malle's Carnal Flower a try - but for the life of me I can't get the cap off the bottle. Has anyone else had this problem?
