SOTD is Jo Malone English Oak and Redcurrant. They disconned it a while ago so I have to make this last. It’s lovely. Fresh but not spiky. Rounded. Quite green. I’m very glad I remembered I had it!

Made another parfum muse purchase - the eilish body spray which I'm hoping I can shift on ebay as I don't think anyone will have heard of the big notebook bottles in the outlet bit which are the only other relatively cheap thing to buy. Parfum muse is such a random online shop- it seems they only stock very specific brands and some quite random ones. I found them when I was going through my BDK phase - pleased there are some BDK in the goodie bag incluing the new Impadia which I love - a fruity, light rose ideal for summer.

SOTD: Couleur Primaire. Thought I'd give it a go then though the idea of "laundry smell" isn't enticing to me... It's actually lovely. This could be a good ",under the radar" work frag for me.

This one was a real grower for me, at first I was like why would I want to smell of persil, but its quite addictive

@IDontHateRainbows agree! I think I'm a bit "anti" strong smelling laundry detergents because they mess with whatever fragrance in actually wanting to wear, but this is quite addictively sniffable.

I think I'm quite drawn to "musk" based fragrances.

I want to try narciso musc nude blanc supposed to be quite laundry like. I never thought id like these kinds of scents but finding them quite addictive.

Also a fan of replica lazy sunday morning and special mention to blanche absolu but neither of those beat Couleur Primaire.
I tried to like acne studios but couldn't get along with the peach note.

Trying Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman today. Nice - fruity but not in an overly sweet way, growing on me.

Been impressed with Ex Nihilo lately the other one i liked was hedonist.

Aldebaran for me today. I just adore it.

Miller Harris Myrica Muse this morning. Really nice fruity rose. I can smell strawberries.

Casamorati Lira today. The first of my birthday scent haul.

This is beautiful. Freshly baked Italian lemon cake. I usually have an aversion to citrus scents as so many just smell like cleaning products to me. I'm in love with this one though.

If anyone is interested Notino have it at a good price. Much cheaper than I got it for in HN (but I was in store and wanted the gwp so oh well)

In town today so went to try the new Guerlain Les Eaux collection, since white musk is my new obsession. Musc Outreblanc and Eaux de Popeline are both very pretty, but I didn't fall in love and at that price point I think you'd need to be!

Sotd Abel Laundry Day 🤩

Good choice @Doglover73

as for me, BDK Impadia. Love this, it's like Delina but nicer a bit fruitier. I already had a sample from perfumista but there was also a 2ml in the parfum muse sample bag of which I may or may not have orderd about 5. Don't think it's up any more I probably wiped them out!

I did look at the site but couldn't find anything i really wanted to order so I didn't. 🤣
I do have loads to be going t. Bought 2 Harvey nichols and space nk fragrance advents as well as other bits, advents, etc 🤩

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I keep buying the HN and SNK advents to sell on, and of course keep a couple for personal use must have bought about 10 of them now but there's a dearth of decent frag kits or edits at the moment and addy cal release for 2026 still a few months away.

Can you still buy the SpaceNk advent calendars somewhere???

Ebay is your friend!

Thank you @IDontHateRainbows

SOTD Fantasy coral. It's my latest BIR collection and I am liking it so far, longevity is looking positive too

I am very happy today: my eBay bargain turned up so I am wearing IsaBella for the first time in 20 years! And because the formulation pre-dates all the bullshit ingredients that made perfumes a shadow of themselves, I am revelling in real oakmoss etc 🥳🥰

I'm wearing Lira again. I also put it on for the second time before bed last night which I never normally do. I think I might be obsessed with this scent.

SOTEvening Shay and blue Amber Oud Ahad. Only given this a couple of tries so far. It reminds me a lot of Elnett Hairspray. Quite nice and "clean" smelling...can't detect much oud.

Oh @NotTheFreudYoureLookingFor I have this. I can't recall where from. 🤔
I looked on frantica and didnt fancy it butmay not try as I like clean smelling scents, I think 🤣
@IDontHateRainbows
Wow thats a lot. 🤣
I have a fair amount of fragrance from advents,boxes,etc. I got 2 liberty scent edits before xmas. I start one I like then i want to keep using it. 🤣

Sotd Abel laundry day. Again 🤩

SOTD Figue Amour (sp?) by Bastide. I really love this, it’s so green and leafy. I ignored it for ages thinking it would be too fruity!

Sotd Acne studios ♥️
Im going to have to look on vinted/Ebay for more of this as I find it really comforting x
