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.

Escentric molecules black tea, le labo the noir 29 (black tea) gris charnel (spicy chai like tea) dear polly (lemony tea)
I love a good tea scent

I have to say, one umbrella for two is instant wishlist boot not very strong in terms of tea. It really reminds me one of the Disney World Hotels- it's sweet

I love the fresh tea scents (le Labo the matcha, miller Harris tea tonique, EA green tea) but not the heavier black teas. I think we can probably meet in the middle over a cup of chai @IDontHateRainbows as long as there isn’t too much sugar!

Seconded. Three of my favourites here. Haven’t tried the EM yet, but will put it on the list.

I'm impressed with how long the Nishane scent has lasted today. Still smells really nice now.

Chasing sunsets by replica today, end of tiny sample. Nice but there are better mango scents out there.

I can't decide what perfume I want today!

Two umbrellas for one were quick purchase for me. Few hours after initial spray I asked DH what does it smell like and he slay immediately said one of the Disney World hotels. The rest is history - I was quick to buy. It is different - not at all safe blind buy. I end up also ordering Pafory advent. It's not your typical good value offer - you basically pay for the samples but they are all new to me. And if I want full bottle I will get 50 off. I will also try their decant service

Waiting on two orders from Skins this week, one from resaler and hoping for Selfridges advent 🙏

I resisted Cult beauty offers so far.

Looking forward to all deals and edits bit also little bit Looking forward for January and my long 8 months low buy.

I am trying to find motivation for my morning walks by giving myself a little sprits of a tester. This morning it's Ella K Camelia K. I don't think you need that and L'Interdit - they are very similar. I like both, but won't be purchasing in full bottle

Eau duelle today, lovely. I did used to have this before but that was when I lived in the uk and wore it in the winter. Something about it in hot weather makes it smells even better now with my skin chemistry. A bit like free 00 when I was very meh about it before but now absolutely love it. Unfortunately DH isn’t really a fan but honestly his sense of smell is terrible and he’s not a perfume fan. He only wears fragrance oils as he finds all other perfumes too synthetic apparently. So what does he know any way! 6 yo is a fan and wanted a spritz 🥰

Nouwa from Rituals to start the day off with

Liberty 1875. This is such a wonderful scent for Autumn- very smoky and unusual. I remember it released around this time a year ago as I was coincidentally in London and visiting Liberty when it was brand new in. I wasn't sure about it at first but grew to love it.

What do you think of it?

Mojave Ghost in the office but back home I will go for Vanilla Rice.

Its a nice one but not that long lasting. I like the smell but it isnt one of my favourites. I purchased a 15ml and the handsoap.

i really love Velvet Aura. I want them to have it in a permanent line up

Liberty Maze today. Haven't worn this in ages. I have about half of the travel size left. It's the only Liberty scent I've tried which I will look to replace when it's empty.

I am actually afraid to use it velvet aura I don't want it to be over. I finished one bottle, have one open and one spare. It is so pretty

In the office- I have some dabbers on my desk so went for carolina herrera very good girl. I do like this one and the elixir- both are equally lovely. Probably my favourite designer frag.

I understand. I have the same with my VA fragrance sticks. I want to use them but only have one bottle. They would be mad not to bring it back at one point. Its auch an easy money maker

My cult beauty scents of wonder box arrived. Loving the Nest cardamom latte although it is strong.

Also enjoying discothèque next to me or nothing, it's very similar to another 13. Milky, musky.

Really cute little boxes too

Thanks I’ve just ordered this in the gold for my bdk Gris dabber x

@MotherWol thanks for sharing about the atomisers, it’s a good idea to decant them.

Sotd is free 00. Very active day and it’s really hot and humid currently so I’ve been a sweaty mess. But this stays nice and soft. Rearranged my frags with my fs or faves in front of the cupboard in the box of their own for easy access. Decided I’m just going to wear my faves for now and give them their due. I didn’t get the cult edit as there was nothing in there I was excited about and I think I’m a bit fatigued with the small travel/sample sizes.

I am really not sure the Skins box was good buy for me. I should have researched little better
Oud and Tobacco scents - my son will happily take
Vanilla perfume - 50 ml, that some compare to Vanilla Powder witch I absolutely can not stand. this doesn't have the intense, synthetic to my nose note but I wouldn't buy it myself. I will test it few times to see how it goes
The green tea is just odd. I will give it a little sprits on skin
I need to test the Ex Nihilo too.

What I am going to say is that at least 4 out of the 5 perfumes are brand new, 2026.

It reminds me why I don't buy all the fragrance advents and sets anymore - I know myself better and I need to read through the content before buying.

Spoke to soon! Demon Dancer is lovely on skin and the green tea competely transforms in few minutes. Maybe the Vanilla has chance too.

SOTD is Flora Danica Turn the Page. I think this came in a Liberty Scent kit? It’s a beautiful powdery, floral vanilla. Just right for early autumn.

The Vanilla is def not the same as Van Powder. The one from L'atalier is much lighter.

Demon Dancer was not for me. I dont dislike it, it reminded me of something but cannot place it.

Havent tried the J scent yet.

Have you tried the other scents on skin yet like the Simone Andreoli?

I like the side products. The fragrances bot so much. But last years box was so much more up my street.
