Guys guys, I was thinking about you all today. I'm away in Sidmouth in Devon and there is a perfume shop there. You probably will know about it. Established 30 years ago all independent very very expensive scents called Woodfords I think.

I sniffed the 2 new M&S scents today
solar Fleur is very beach walk like
marshmallow delight was very sweet but had an undertone I didn’t like and lasted about 30 seconds flat

SOTD Aldebaran... I've had a massively annoying day. Actually the whole weekend has been irritating. Even Aldebaran didn't redeem it.

@Doglover73 I wasn’t wowed at first but I wish I’d tried to get another when there were loads on Vinted. It’s quite a green scent but has a decent amount of staying power

Nice sample but I can imagine how much it is fs.

Scent of the day part 8 - the friendly perfumistas will make you smell GREAT!

That would be so up my street @Doglover73!

As a lemon lover did you ever have Mary Greenwell Lemon? It was so gorgeous. Not that long lasting but just delightful. Like old fashioned Ô de Lancôme.

It’s sadly disconned but there’s some on eBay. Well worth a punt.

I may regret selling one. 🤣
Always the way. But id be literally drowning in stuff if I kept everything. 😍
Im treading water atm. 😍

Doglover73 · 25/05/2026 11:04

I remember the Lancome lemon one. Used to spray in stores. 🤣
Was too speedy for me at that time. Im making up for it there last few years.
I could only just afford the body shops white musk oil with my Saturday job money 🤣

Fico Di Amalfi is perfect for this weather.

IDontHateRainbows · 25/05/2026 13:26

I can't wait to get home and crack open the bibbi swimming pool.

I forgot about Swimming Pool. I haven't spritzed yet today so I'll give it a go. I didn't like it in the winter so it will be interesting

QueefofSheena · 25/05/2026 13:34

@Doglover73 I usually keep everything 😬 I had a brief foray into selling on but had a bad experience selling on Vinted so I've given that the flick now

Doglover73 · 25/05/2026 13:40

Ive had the odd bad experience but overall been good. 😍
I have to admit knowing I can sell stuff on has made me buy a lot more 🤣

Well I’ve just bought a sample off Vinted! Thanks!

IDontHateRainbows · 25/05/2026 17:03

Home now, tried the swimming pool but I think I have a love-hate relationship with this frag. I have to really get in to it if I'm not used to it. Much better today is Vyrao Sun Rae - very appropriately named - it's a spicy citrus but warming cardamom/tumeric type spice. i'm not usualy a Vyrao fan but I do like this one particularly in this weather.

Bought so much frag recently for selling + personal use that I'm trying to calm it down until I can at least clear some on ebay/vinted. I've plenty to keep me going that's for sure.

It’s a hot and sunny day in Berlin (visiting family) and the Dear Polly I sprayed on this morning is still wafting around. Love the smoky tea and citrus.

Doglover73 · 25/05/2026 19:42

Oh I think i have that vyraosomewhere. Will have a look x
Ive also gone ott. X

@IDontHateRainbows It’s one of my absolute favourites. I also have the Sun Rae I think, but haven’t tried it. Will look it out when I get home.

Bobbi brown Beach today

IDontHateRainbows · 26/05/2026 07:58

MFK l'homme a la rose today. This is a fresh, aquatic not sweet rose, perfect for a day like today.

Liberty Tana Meadow today. There was a sample in a recent BD box and a 10ml in the current edit (one of the reasons I bought it.) It’s a soft floral musk with vanilla. Could wear this at any time of year I think, but I’ll see how it copes with the heat today!

JoRaRaRa · 26/05/2026 08:31

I've been enjoying Floraiku Sand and Skin from the Harrods FAC over the last few days. I like it anyway, but it's really nice on a very hot day. It also layers nicely with you soie and mineral milk.

I received a few samples of the new Dior fragrance, Dior Paradise, which I left out to use over the weekend and I now can't find them 😔

My ps box should be arriving today too 🙂

I tried this one but wasn't sure - felt a bit sweet and gourmandy for now but may be more appropriate for me for autumn./winter. I am very seasonal with my scents and enjoy mixing them up throughout the year.
