Sorry everyone! I didn't realise how near the end of the old thread we were.

What on earth have you all done with yourselves for the last few hours? 😂

As always everyone welcome to join in and hopefully this is the thread we see the first 'big' BAC reveal. 😍

Ooh, I got hidden. Must have been the d word that rhymes with loop!

Sephora are giving a free mystery gift with £80 spend. I remember they offered this last year but they messed up my order and I never received it. Has anyone ever had one and do they tend to be anything good?

I had this too and it’s in the bin. 😊

I would say that sadly yes, and definitely not.

@SheilaFentiman I’m gutted your replies are hidden. I want to see the article! It flashed as a notification, and Poof! Gone already.

I can’t get around it because the D word that rhymes with loop is in the URL!

They were both from Cosmopolitan and one was about Primark and the other M and S, so googling would find them. I suggested that Lonely12 might be able to test perfumes similar to her edit with the aid of such articles (or ChatGPT of course!)

Haha, thank you all for the Sephora mystery item feedback - I will give that a miss then!

Never have I had a mystery gift that wasn't shite. There's a reason it's a mystery !

@Lonely12 I always go to my town centre and go in Space NK, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges to sample the fragrances that I’m not sure of. I spray them on card, and take a pen with me to write which one it is, so that I can also have a sniff later to see if I like it once it’s settled down. Yes, I take it very seriously indeed 😅

I have also used Fragrantica to blind buy online and have mostly been successful with doing it that way.
