I’ve got Kayali Maldives Ylang Coco on one wrist and Maui Sweet Banana on the other. The Maldives one smells like a million other beachy, sunscreeny fragrances. I’m quite liking the Maui one, which is weird as I hate the smell of actual bananas !

I went for Matiere Vanilla Powder. I am enjoying it even though it’s not one I’d have chosen from the name.

PDM Meliora today. I bought a 10ml from someone on vinted a few weeks ago and I've already made a good size dent in it, as well as the 5ml I already had used quite a bit from. I might have to buy the full size, I love it 😍

I didn't notice banana in that Maui one. I thought it was a fairly generic light, fruity scent.

For those with a number of sample sizes and thinking of storage, this is an earring storage tray - size is 33cmx23cm
And no, this isn’t all of them just the ones I have sprayed so far 😁

@MrsBnow12 Great idea. They end up all over. 🤩

I ordered 5 for £5 samples yesterday and really like the Nest Strawberry so I’ve gone back and ordered 5 more today. Handy dinky little bottles for travel with a useful amount in

I love this 💜

Crivelli ambre chromatique. Love this , very strong amber but can be headache inducing. Also tried a sample of goldfield and banks tales of amber which is much lighter. I do love a good amber. Took me a while to get into it tho, definitely an acquired taste.

I'm wishing i'd ordered this now 😅
Ive had several testers but the ones that you pull plastic topper out and it goes all over your fingers and they are left smelling all day so never used. Given away. 😅

Not scent but I got this in the H&B box at xmas and it's really nice. Wasn't expecting to like it so much.

Replica Afternoon Delight. I love this one, which is strange as I usually find caramelly, over sweet notes too sickly. But this is just right.

I've gone for spiky muse today, I'm in the office and was in a bit of a rush and it was the first one I saw but I'm really not feeling it 😕 I think I'm feeling one of the new kayali's or commodity juice 🤦🏻‍♀️

I put on Angel Dust extrait from the CB samples today. It's nice but not as strong as you might expect from an extrait. I need to dig out the travel size original AD to see how they compare.

Don't think I posted yesterday's SOTD. That was Initio Atomic Rose. I do really like that one but it is quite similar to Delina once dried down. Maybe a bit more powerful - not sure without directly comparing.

The Tragedy of Lord George Penhaligon's for me today. It’s a woody amber and definitely more masculine than unisex imo.

Not really me so I’ll be passing this sample over to DH.

Thanks @OvaHerea rather lovely parcel arrived today! Just what I needed to lift my mood! Can’t wait to try them

Glad it arrived safely. I hope you find some that suit you. 😊

Wild Card scent of the day - I had a mini hugo boss bottled which wouldn't sell and the notes sounded intriguing - apple, cinnamon, woods so I tried it and yes it is masculine but it's rather nice and I'm not one for saying yay or nay to a perfume based on gender. Not sure it will be a new love but it's nice to try for a change.

Sotd Ouai Melrose Place. Mini i came across. Lovely but didnt last very long.

PDM Valaya for this evening 🥰

Mat prem radical rose extrait this evening. Trying hard not to like it too much as its very dear.

I am going away for a few days and need to choose scent without taking everything! Such difficulty!

SOTD is Cherry Stem from Phlur. Gorgeous and uplifting

I’ve chosen Liberty Zephirine today. It’s ok. But it’s not green and woody enough for me.
