Already excited by the prospect of adventure calendars!

It probably is a bit more Dove. I quite like that though.

I went for Ellis Brooklyn vanilla salt today.

I've been leaning more towards holiday scents recently, so summer Fridays sunlit vanilla, Ellis Brooklyn Isla sirena, dedcool mineral milk, replica beach walk, floraiku sand & skin and a few others that I currently can't remember. I'm planning to wear the roja from the Harrods FAC soon, I was going to wear it today but fancied something lighter.

Mojave ghost absolu tonight works really well in the heat, maybe the desert connotations? My fb is running out Nd I will mourn its passing. May be on the Christmas list if im still mourning by then.

Sunlit vanilla was okaaaay but I am.not reaching for it let's just say. I was s tad disappointed after the hype. A bit too sweet and ice cream like for me.

My summer scents are lemon. Always. So Mary Greenwell Lemon, Ô de Lancôme. Lannosea is a new favourite.

I’m looking forward trying non-lemony Valaya tomorrow.

But my favourite chypres always feel summery too. So Miss Dior, Dioressence, Chanel 19, Rive Gauche…

I really like it, I'm kinda wishing I'd bought a fs bottle as I'm getting through the travel size quite quickly. It just smells so summer to me 🥰

Me! I hope you like them (nervous now!)

Really getting into new house Abel and they have little kits at liberty on offer with a 10% discount, plus I get BD credit on Sunday which I was planning to save for the Addy cal but this has turned my eye....

I enjoyed the Miami split in the liberty man kit recently and laundry day earlier.

Beginning to think mens kits can be better than women's and debating the man's advent calendar in September. In all honesty I'll probably get both.

🤣🤣 dont be. If I dont theyll be room sprays. Very reasonably priced. Around £10 each. If they are ok im going to look at some other scents. Because im really in need of more fragrance 🤣🤣

SOTD is the latest Glossier one. I can't remember what it's called - the blue one that's coconutty. Lovely summer scent. All the Glossier scents are very wearable. They're subtle and don't have loads of longevity but sometimes that's good.

You soie 😍

My SOTD is Boadicea aqua sapphire which I received in the recent tps summer scents box. This one is gorgeous and so holiday-like, it just reminds me of walking along a craggy coastline overlooking the sparkling ocean, the sky is blue, the sun is bright, the water is crystal clear, waves are gently hitting the rocks, and everything feels peaceful 💙 instead I'm WFH 🤣

Carolina herrera la bomba today which i wasn't massively keen on when it released but has grown on me and is nice for summer.

Annoyingly the summer heat has aggravated my mild eczema so having to be careful spraying...

Sotd Fugazzi orange crush 😍

I wore my Valaya today. It lasted a little while but not all day. But I do like it. Maybe not quite enough to spank £175 on a bottle. But I’m v happy to have the two samples to try.

Debaser this evening. Its growing on me

Chloe vanilla planifolia. A lovely green vanilla perfect for summer.

I got this in an edit but haven’t tried it yet. Can you describe it?

Orange cream lollies. Valaya on a winters evening left me wondering I have something similar,turns out to be this one. Surprisingly lasting during heatwave.

SOTD Sana Jardin Jaipur Chant,jasmine and white florals,comforting and linear.

I need to try. Ive sold one i got in an advent on vinted cheap, but have a smaller one somewhere.

@RoseTeaLady
Im not great at describing but a lovely fresh citrus but a woody!musky. But not too much. I dont like anything too woody. The woodiness doesnt take over.

@Doglover73 @SavageGarden23 Thank you both. Sounds right up my street.

Its nice, more orange flower tha sharp orange. I don't like many fugazzi and I'm not usually a fan of orange but I enjoyed this.
