Im tempted to go back to covent garden and get the FE. And the delina set of 18 x 5ml .

Do it!! It's only your birthday once a year 🥳

I think i just might!!

Happy birthday @IDontHateRainbows the Delina set sounds amazing!

I’ve just received the Debenhams Valentines bag. I quite like the Valentino perfume and I love the nail varnish, perfect colour for toes

Bought the Fig Erotique. Debating the pdm set but leaning to yes.
Annoyingly there are 8 'feminine ' and 10 'masculine' not that perfume should be gendered IMHO but why not 9+9.

What's the betting a man came up with this?

@IDontHateRainbows Happy, happy Birthday! Sounds like a fabulous day ☺️

Whoever recommended Covent Garden... I both love and hate you simultaneously! I now have fig erotique plus the pdm set and my wallet is apx £500 lighter but I am happy!

Pdm were really nice and gave me some extras, 2 x 5 ml samples a perfume tile 2 body lotions and a fan!! I won't keep all this set so I should make back a little.

Dangerous but enjoyable day. I will keep my bags very close to me on the journey home

Sounds fabulous! Happy birthday!

Also adding - a fan???? That is a new one for me.

Sounds like a fabulous day @IDontHateRainbows a lot more fun than the day I've had.

You're making me want Fig Erotique now. 😂I did like it when I got to try it the other week.

I think it is in line with the 18th century french aristocracy vibe they are going for

I received my valentines set today too, the valentino one is really nice, I do like all 3 of them though 🥰

I meant to say pdm set not delina, that is their most famous perfume but the set has the full range, 18 from pdm including some delina.

The shop in covent garden is well worth a visit they even have a VR headset where you can wander around the castle!

I went in selfridges at Trafford centre last week and ventured to the fragrance bit. I was so overwhelmed with it and staff stilood like soldiers waiting for customers. I walked around.
I went in space nk and a much nicer experience. Just sprayed away x

There you are we are cool! 😄

Ive it to try this scent. Heard good and bad but not getting rid until ive smelt it as curious.

Did they have the new one there?

Selfridges staff do pressure selling, space nk don't and its a much nicer experience.

Don't remember seeing a new one, what is ot called?

Oh, maybe it's not been released yet. I can't see it on their website. It's called athenais. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Parfums-de-Marly/Athenais-123716.html

I think I've found a new love. 21:50 Reverie by Victoria Beckham. I randomly picked this as a sample when I bought an eyeshadow not knowing any of the notes.

It's completely my sort of powdery vanilla perfume and the tobacco note gives it a slight edge. It's still soft and subtle enough that you could wear it to the office though.

Is it a bit too similar to some other powdery scents I own? Yes probably. Am I scouring eBay and Vinted as we speak? Yes I am.

It's annoyingly not been released here yet. The US have got it. Early reviews are saying it's a lot like Prada Paradoxe but 3-4 times the price.

Ahh that explains why I've seen people with it on insta 😕

The DS and Durga consultant told me he had a collection of 900 fragrances. No, thats not a typo. I dont know if they were all full bottles. I thought I was obsessed!

Sounds lovely

21:50 Reverie from VBB, I have an in office day and yesterday comment reminded me I had a tiny bit left in a 5ml sample I purchased.
I love this and it’s on my list to purchase if a gwp comes up at Harrods/ Space NK
