Tubereuse Imperiale from BDK today - this came in the set with creme de cuir and I did try to sell it on but no takers so I've opened it. It's a sweet, bubblegummy tubereuse and not one I'm a massive fan of. Probably more suited to spring. I don't mind it - I just don't love it.

My mistake; it was Valaya in the Liberty set.

I wore it yesterday. I couldn't pick out individual notes. It was pleasant enough, but I wouldn't purchase because it doesn't feel like "me". I don't know why.

It didn't seem to last very long but then I thought I could still catch a hint of it this morning, so maybe it's deceptive.

Sotd Tom Ford Black Orchid
I thought it was a bit too much at first but an hour later smells nice. Different but nice. Not too heavy. I have a sample wouldn't buy fs though. I can imagine its expensive

Sticking with Vanilla’s in this weather and Eau Duelle from Diptique for me today

I've put delina Exclusif on one arm and delina on the other. Every time I smell and compare, I change my mind about which one is my favourite 🤣 Delina is gorgeous though and I'm so pleased I now have a full bottle of it 🩷

Glossier Reve this afternoon. Got tempted as it was in the snk sale. Not disappointed, its a lovely creamy fruity thing. Poss my favorite Glossier perfume, better than fleur.

I love that one, similar to babylon

@MiaN which one don’t you like? I’m adding St Bart’s shower gel and body moisturiser to my full size wish list after I’ve finished all minis and soap bars

CH Good Girl for me today. Sweet and spicy white floral. This is really growing on me.

Love Eau Duelle, one of my all time favourites with the way the vanilla blends with the juniper.

SOTD mind games queening. Bought myself 15 1ml samples as a Christmas present to myself from small aromas - told chat gpt I wanted to try new perfumes told it what I liked and got it to suggest 15 to try. So far so good - it’s a Creamy vanilla, coconutty, dries down to a creamy powdery marshmallow. Love this type of fragrance in winter

Pdm delina exclusif this evening..Best rose scent I've ever smelt. Gorgeous.

Going to try not to buy any perfume for a bit ha ha see how long that lasts. Mustn't count the guidance in the red beauty box that's on its way 😂

I love this one, has a coffee aspect to it.

Harrods sale has got me again tonight. I've bought the versace crystal noir 50ml perfume gift set for £39, too much of a bargain to pass on.

@IDontHateRainbows pdm delina Exclusif for me too tonight. I was heading out and it was the easiest one to grab after trying it earlier. Soooo nice 😍

Im not tempted as I associate this with developing dermatitis last year short into my perfume addict journey last year, must have been pouring it on my skin!

I still get a bit itchy now and then when I overspray, but know when to stop now!

Testing bibi vanilla factory on skin. This one is really intriguing and I’m baffled how they’ve managed to achieve it but the scent does take me to an old abandoned factory, dark and mysterious. I like that it’s not a common sweet vanilla.

I never got the actual factory vibe, although I do like this one. I'll try it again with this in mind...

I'll keep that in mind, thank you 💜 With how fast any deals on it get swiped up, I thought I'd share on here incase there were any fellow fans, even in just the lurkers 😃

Vanilla factory today following the post yesterday about how it reminds one of an actual factory. I sort of see it...
It is a lovely scent whatever.

Also tried a little bit of radio bombay from DS and Durga. This is a lovely scent but not one I could wear all the time. I am a fan of DS + Durga for the experimental aspects although the car perfumes are a bit less of a gamble and a better way to do the 'olfactory experience'

Not bought anything yet today ladies... but then again it is only 10.30 am 😂

Yep, I’m definitely keeping vanilla factory. I haven’t vibed much with bibi fragrances in the past as they are very conceptual but this one’s nice. Actually I wanted to ask about the Oda Ona carte Blanche. This one doesn’t have many reviews but I’ve seen it described as laundry detergent which I really dislike so before I remove the wrapper to test it, any opinion on this one? The notes listed on fragrantica do appeal though. I will probably be gifting or selling on a few that I don’t love as I really do want to have a smaller collection.

Actually @IDontHateRainbowsI just came across an older post on this thread when I was looking for reviews of it. Your post was helpful, thanks

Valaya exclusif growing on me, wasn't so keen at first but now im getting in to it. May need to sample the Valaya somewhere before I decide whether to keep or sell the 10ml.

SOTMorning was Dedcool Taunt from the SpaceNk fragrance calendar. I was mainly looking after the pooch this morning whilst doing a bit of cleaning so I was happy to use up a bit of this one.

I've just been and sprayed Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka, I got this in my Harrods fragrance calendar and only wore it on the day I opened it, so I felt it needed to be worn. It's such a cosy perfume, I really love this one.

I now need to find one from my harvey nicks calendar for the evening 🤣
