Scent of the day part 10, the friendly perfumistas are spritzing again!

[IDontHateRainbows]

Shiny new thread just in time for the new season - I'm thinking smoky, spicy gourmands as we head through autumn.

SOTD is carolina hererra very good girl. This is an addictive fruity scent. I can't decide whether I like this one more than the elixir. Both are lush

I smell like everything. Harvey Nichols are closing in Dublin so I bought few things 50% off and I sprayed good few to decide what I want and what I want for my son and husband.

Forgot to say - favourite buy is Starlight Xerjoff and Torrino 21

I definitely have no budget for advent calendars! I also purchased Initio Lift me up as well as Eight & Bob Il Giardino Dell'anima.

JL fragrance calendar arrived and its a good un.
Sote is kilian midnight espresso, loving thos, perfect autumn gourmand dark sultry boozy sweet

My Cult Beauty samples arrived today, so I've been wearing Debaser in Bloom this evening. I was disappointed (like many of us) at not getting it in the SNK Spritz GWP. Annoyingly, I don't think I like it very much.

I don't think Cult Beauty do the samples to Ireland.

I am wearing VB Portofino as I will be in office today in large open space venue for event. I am kind of regretting it but it is suitable for the occasion.

I've ordered some Debaser in Bloom samples from Cult too. I love the original but I'm not sure I'm going to like this version from what I've read on Fragrantica. It will be interesting

I also ordered the debaser in bloom samples. @MiaN happy to send you one if you wanted to try as I ordered 5 and probably don't need 5!

Tying Phlur Afterglow today from the SNK gwp. Nice. I like it. Not expecting it to have much longevity. It reminds me a bit of something else - maybe Fugazzi Angel Dust but a bit sweeter.

I've gone for Granado esplendor today, I'd forgotten how much I loved this one last year. I think our rainbows sent me a backup bottle of it 🥰 I'm glad to be rediscovering this and it feels perfect for this windy, rainy day. Thankfully I'm inside, WFH, although I am going autumn decorations shopping later 💃🏻

I'm wearing Gong today. Its a like rather than a love and has disappeared now, after only a couple of hours. Quite fruity on me and wearable

Got the debaser in bloom samples from CB and I really like it - much better than original debaser but you can still sense the original debaser in there.

Was about to reach for Dedcool taunt today but then I saw JHAG not a perfume travel I got in a fac last year. Hadn’t tried it yet. I like! I was expecting to not smell anything but it’s lovely on. Warm, soft, a little sweet and woody. Reminds me of escentric molecules to be fair.

Thanks @IDontHateRainbows , very kind. I tried it in SpaceNK. I would have used their sample service a lot more but EU dodn't make it easy either.

I bought so many perfumes lately, some wish list and I feel I need to

1. Wear exactly what I want (went on office) and not what I think I should.
2. Take a little pause and enjoy the goodies

However
Weather is still warm, with the occasional cooler hour making it little tricky. We have beach holiday in few weeks so I am torn which way to go every morning!
There has been some good deals out and this time of the year there is usually a lot of good offerings.

Tell me, what are your current loves?

Oh gosh where do I start? I'm really enjoying the Kilian Midnight Espresso - it's a heavy one so wouldn't wear it to the office but it is lovely. Also recently been impressed with MH Staccato. Been reaching for Penhaligon's Babylon a lot. Also MFK Homme a la rose. And DS Durga Radio Bombay is a firm fave. Not usually into Diptyque but tried Orpheon recently (SNK sample) and liked it.

But ask me again in another week and you'd get a totally different list.

@MiaN @IDontHateRainbows Have just finished an 8ml bottle of Liberty Maze and wishing I had another. If I could guarantee getting that in the Liberty Summer Scents kit I’d order one. Orpheon is gorgeous. Other favourites are Dear Polly and JM Beach Blossom (pretending it’s still summer.)

I have 2 x summer scent kits on order from Liberty, if I get a Maze I will pm you. It's the liberty lottery with these!

@RoseTeaLadywould be cheaper to pick up a maze on vinted? There’s some listings for £20. I’ve sold it on there before for about that much.

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you. Will check

My CB samples arrived and I've had a spray of some of the Harrods FAC scents I'm keeping. I now smell like a perfume hall as I've spritzed every bit of available arm.

Surprising winner so far from Harrods (bar those I knew I liked) is Memo. I wasn't sure when I sniffed it last night but did a full spray today and I really like this one. It's a Fruity Vanilla Leather. Really lovely and first Memo scent I've liked.

I like Debaser in Bloom. Needs further testing to see if I'd want more than a tiny sample

Fugazzi Pomegranoudh - okay I guess but smells like a Christmas candle. Will probably sell on the one from CB advent.

Huda Easy Bake - this wasn't on my radar at all. I added it to the samples to make up the 5. I kind of like it. It's a bit parma violet and make up smell. I realise that doesn't sound that attractive but I keep feeling compelled to sniff it.

Chloe Cedrus - nice fresh green type scent but similar to the other Chloe I have imo.

Lola at coat check - Sweet but also earthy. Much nicer than the last Discotheque I tried. Toying with watching some on Vinted from Selfridges BAC. The candle is also in the Sephora advent I keep saying I'm not going to buy. 😬

Wearing Chanel Allure as my Autumn scent today. Forgot how nice it is!

My Debaser in Bloom samples arrived today. I like it but can't detect the original which I love. The spray version of the original is gentler on me than the roller.

Current loves are Molecule Cologne One, which is like a tamer Debaser, Ormonde Jayne Levant and Lust in Paradise extrait. Some of this will change in a few weeks after my holiday
