Delina today. Couldn't decide what to put on so...Delina. It seems to be an easy default for me.

Miller Harris oud eclat. Really lovely, reminds me of oud for greatness. Light on the oud not a heavy oud at all as the name suggests

Chloe nuit d'egypte. I had a shower and put some body oil on after, then a few mins later this and it's really sunk in and made the smell stronger. So that's my top tip!

Excited for Liberty advent calendar coming soon which no way is waiting til advent. I'll open it straight away. New Vyrao ever 11 should be there, it's a cherry one.

Estée Lauder beautiful! I wore it on my wedding day in 1995 when I was a young slip of 23. I have always been drawn to big fragrances since I started work not far from selfridges when I was 16. That's what I spent all my money on. Those and Dior skincare I still remeber the smell of it. Ahh 😂

I have Air of Aquarius again today. Love the freshness of it. Still getting 4711 vibes though!!

I gave my cleaner another batch of perfumes - Devotion Intense, Kayalli burning Cherry, Arizona bloom (I had two, and don't love it as much anymore - I will never get to the spare) and few travel sizes. I love releasing the perfumes I am not going to use and she was so happy about it, gave me big hug.

ghost of tom by bibbi. Forgot how much I like this.

it’s nife to spread the perfume love. Teens and my mates who never think of buying it are particularly pleased!

@MiaN you know what it's easier to let my daughter borrow one of my expensive handbags than have one of my perfumes!

Tried the new vyrao, ever 11. It's a deep cherry one. Nice, but not terribly original. Reminds me of phlur cherry stem crossed with MH legato. Nice enough.

La Bomba earlier and SOTE was MM Under The Lemon Tree, which was very brief

today is Tom Ford white patchouli from about ten years ago

Miller Harris scherzo today which is the perfect rose-oud. WFH so I'll be spritzing quite a lot to test and try things.

I went for old skool Ô de Lancôme today. It’s such an old favourite, and I have half a vintage bottle.

Blanche Bete today - with cooler weather feels right time to get the creamier scents out

MH staccato. Really spicy smoky and not sweet. Loving it!

Mango Skin for me. I like it a lot and I am glad I got to try it but I wouldn't buy it myself to be honest. Nothing wrong with it but it's expensive and it gives me escada vibe - which I love but I don't pay over 30/40 euro per 100ml

I've tried Swimming Pool again. Its growing on me so I may take a 2ml away with me soon. I'm looking forward to trying some Korres scents in greek pharmacies

portrait of a lady today - not my favourite but dh loves it on me

Decided I need to declutter further today.

Nest Indigo is not a keeper for me and ready to let go of Jo Malone Sandlewood and Spiced Apricot. I adore Gris Charnel fall time and they have same mood but nowhere near as nice. Jo Malone Frangipani Flower will go too.

Nette sample set is gone too. They are ok to be honest but nothing interests me enough to test on skin. They will be bathroom scents

La vie est belle- quite strong but fine. Not a fav but fine.

@IDontHateRainbows did you manage to get 2 extra sample on MH. Bit cheeky but just wanted to check. Thanks for the code, a couple I’d like to try.

Ellis brooklyn guava granita, received a free sample. It's going for the fruity-milky-cocktail thing, reminiscent of sunset hour but nowhere near as good. I associate the fruity scents with summer and am ready to move on now to more autumnal offerings.

Main Character today. Not worn anything for a few days as I've had a low level virus and haven't been in the mood for anything scented. Feel a bit brighter today but wanted something subtle.

Vilhelm dear polly...perfect lemon black tea scent.

Gorgeous scent. I can wear this all year round.
