Mat Prem radical rose extrait which I think I have fallen in love with. I was even tempted to get the FB which pwith liberty dicount and points I can get down to £205 but it's still too much so I think I'll get the mini radical rose with my £20 loyalty points and discount meaning it's £14.

Sotd past 2 days. You Glossier doux. Nice but doesnt last long. I thought i didnt like musks. 🤣

SOTD, a really golden oldie, Givenchy III.

Oh I love this so so much! Along with original Miss Dior and Fidji by Guy Laroche it was one of my first introductions to chypre-world! And once I landed there I was entirely at home.

I got this bottle from eBay a few years ago, it’s still wonderful…

SOTD is Delina. I used the Gisou wild rose hair perfume last night and found it so similar

Young rose Byredo- using up my samples. Lovely fresh opening, fleeting, would never buy it but happily wear.

Happy Bank holiday weekend everyone! Resisting any sales and creating a TS wish list for smelling and birthday requests. I calculated I have 3-4 years worth of perfume in my stash which was less than I expected.

Miller Harris hydra figue. Reminds me of parisian musc by mat prem, although slightly saltier. Very unusual, it's not a sharp green fig.

How did you calculate that @Lurkingshark I’m scared to do mine!

I read c. 10 sprays per ml (obviously depends on sprayer) which felt about right and I use 3-5 sprays. It’s quite generous as I have 10ml which will last more than 30 days.

I reckon 100-150ml per year and I have c. 500ml in total. Mostly travel, some full and a bunch of samples. Very approximate though.

Thanks! I’ve never thought to count my total ml. I’ve going to scare myself and do it 😁

SOTD VS Bare Sueded Vanilla which I wasn’t sure about but now love. Seems to be lasting quite well too. Reminds me of La Vie Vanilla Nude but that one just disappears on me.

It actually made me feel better - more mindful of what I like and didn’t. I also got to re- sort everything which was fun

I sprayed vanilla nude in the perfume shop and liked it

MH Scherzo this evening. Continuing the rose theme. Couldn't quite stretch to the fb of radical rose extrait so I got the 6ml size off liberty with my £20 loyalty vouchers meaning it was £14 after discount, from £38.
One of the perks of running an ebay shop and buying to sell is the loyalty points i get from most of the usual suspects, snk in particular. Reckon if I totted it up it would be a few hundred pounds over the year. All reinvested in personal purchases of course!

Also a shout out for Abel Laundry Day, which was in the liberty kit in autumn. Thought it too lemony at first but now I'm loving it, initial citrus burst subsides and mellow. Can't stop sniffing it..and I usually find citrus too sharp.

I have limited perfumes at my disposal due to being away. I brought with me travel/small sizes of

Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla
PDM Delina
PDM Valaya Exclusif
Ex Nihilo Gold Immortals

SOTD is Sunlit Vanilla, I've been really impressed with this one. I think anyone who likes vanilla will enjoy it. It's a bit of a powdery, musky vanilla. Sweet but not too sweet.

Sotd jo malone minis I was testing to use me £10 fragrance voucher which apparently isn't a valid voucher so I give up. 🤣
But I tried the jo malone cypress one, pear and peony. Peony was my fave. Tried different sizes etc but wouldn't work. X

I would email them if it's supposed to work but doesn't.

SOTD is ex nihilo the hedonist. After saying a few weeks ago that I didn't like this, now I really do 🤪 I'm glad I kept it now.

My Frankenstein FAC calendar was fugazzi passionfroudh today but I've not yet tried it. I might try it a bit later but I can still smell the hedonist on me so there's no point spraying it on just yet.

4160 Tuesdays freshly laundered
been cleaning all day and had a bath and it seemed appropriate!

How does it compare to vanilla powder, if you know that one?

I do indeed know that one. It has shades of VP but lighter, more office friendly.

This is just my opinion though. So apologies if you smell it and think this smells nothing like VP! 😂

I love Laundry Day, ended up buying second scent edit and eventually FS.

Valaya Exclusif today. First time I've tried this one, I've only got 5ml of it but it's very nice. Quite peachy.

Sotd Fleur Narcotique Ex Nihilo. Got more coming soon as I treated myself to a Liberty beauty kit (damn them sending me a voucher!)
It really lives up to its name, and intoxicating floral

Sotd kayali flour majesty rose royal 31. Impulse buy off vinted the other night. Just arrived,just sprayed. Lovely. 🥰
And to think I thought i didnt like rose. 🤣
