byredo came up with Gypsy Water Absolute, happy to try that at some point. Actually not buying will be hard, as I am by nature warm weather/summer person and will be tempted with all summary perfumes.

AM - Velvet Aura. PM - zoom zumba class at home I am manifesting summer with St Batz Ouai. So good.

SOTD is Commodity Milk Expressive from the discovery kit. Nice gentle gourmand, maybe more vanilla than lactonic, I think the personal variant has the edge for me at this stage.

I found the bold too much, haven't tried the expressive, personal I was expecting to be weak but it's just right. Got loads from the CB stocking, which is still going even after being discounted at 30% for weeks.

Not a perfume for the body, but I used some of my space NK vouchers to get the DS and Durga Auto fragrances (posh car air fresheners, basically).
Have tried the portable fireplace, which I didn't rate - very smoky but that's it.
the holy ficus which came in the HN frag cal is nice.
Latest one I've tried is concrete after lightening, it's a strange metallic one but I like it! I'd never choose a skin fragrance like this but quite enjoying having it in the car. Plus the little hanging air fresheners are quite cool and all have a funky design.

I love the Milk expressive. Haven’t tried the other two variants.

Apparently they do a concrete lightning perfume! And candle. On a buying ban, unless liberty vouchers can be used, but may consider getting a sample after the ban is over.

I hang them in my wardrobe. Love getting a waft when I go through my clothes. Big Sur after Rain is my fave.

That's a great idea!

Hi all, I purchased one of the killian fragrances online not realising its a 7 5 travel spray with no cap. Does anyone know if a standard cheap cap could work or whether id need to buy their expensive atomiser?

What do you need a cap for? If its to avoid accidentally discharging in your bag, could you put it in a case? I use a small glasses case, waterstones do liberty print ones.

Not opened mine yet. I bought 2. I have loads to get through. I did intend gifting but 🤷😍

SOTD is Commodity Moss Personal - I get zero oak moss from this, just bergamot and citrus, it reminds me of CK One. Inoffensive, but definitely not my jam.

Bdk creme de cuir today which is a lovely and unique creamy blend of fruit and spices. I dont get much leather from it.

Praying the posties make it through the ice today to bring my pdm countdown calendar. Looks like I got it just in time as it appears to be sold out now.

Bloody RM couldn't deliver due to bad weather - all the other couriers seem to have made it. Looks like no PDM for me today. Annoying, as I wanted to be in when it arrived.

Gris Charnel. I guess I am finally in mood for winter scents as it is really cold!

Ordered the Christmas set from Diptyque which DPD couldn’t deliver as unable to find my address. Collected from Post Office today. Parcel obviously damaged and perfume inside smashed! It was really poorly packaged. Waiting to hear from CS. Orpheon smells lovely on me, but not so good in my parcel 😢

Ganymede, another one suitable for winter.

We are not having much luck with deliveries today are we. Oh no @RoseTeaLady what a disappointment. Hopefully they can replace it.

Fragonard Etoile.

Sotd Victoria Beckham Portofina'97.
Nice scent and definitely long lasting.
Wouldn't pay the rrp.

DVN chamomile satin, a lovely lavender vanilla. I bought the DVN set of 4 x 10ml with my long awaited liberty vouchers, which has this in, so while im waiting for it thought to use what's left of my sample.

I have it. It is such a strange perfume to me as it feels summary but it is TOXIC in the summer, way too strong. In general, it is something that I have to use one or two sprays max as it is strong and easy to overdo. For someone used to byredo, where you could do 6 and still be ok - it feels intense. Not typical for summer vibes perfume

It's basically my middle of the winter, I am dreaming of summer perfume.

I just googled it and it sounds lovely, but that’s more from the story behind it than the notes. Interesting what you say @MiaN as it sounds masculine too

SOTD was Brompton Immortals for me today. Really loving this one. There’s something so special about wearing it on a freezing day, with snow covering the ground. Warm, elegant and deeply comforting.

Been testing un jardin sur le nile and I love the scent of it but it literally lasts an hour on my skin. Maybe not that surprising considering it is an edt but I won’t be purchasing as I have others that have a similar type of vibe. I’m getting my Liberty scent kit (finally!!!) this week so excited for that.

SOTD today is Vanille Nue from Beauty Pie. It’s an office day for me and this is just a straightforward easy vanilla that’s not too sweet or intrusive. I blind bought three of the BP frags back in 2024 and this is easily my favourite as it’s so wearable.
