[IDontHateRainbows]

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

I’ve heard the island drift one has a banana note. The vanilla one is meant to be good. Not sure on the others

M.M.Margiela Replica Never Ending Summer this morning. Love the bitter citrus, which is a lovely mood boost on a sunny day, but wish it lasted longer.

Le Labo The Matcha for a garden party this afternoon.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa this evening, whilst checking I don’t want to keep the botttle of Colonia Club in the JL FAC.

D'Annam Vietnamese Coffee. I probably shouldn't as I am on office

Its not available uk are you outside uk? I'd be interested in any you don't want.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they delivered uk.

I am wearing Vietnamese Coffee D'Annam this morning. It's perfect for my mood, for the type of person I am, for the time of the year. So happy with my purchase.

Im in the Netherlands. Where are you based? Ill be in London on the 7th of October and wouldnt mind swapping out stuff.

During the weekend ill be up in Liverpool visiting friends. I can also post stuff around that time

I tried Debaser in Bloom this morning. I like it but the longevity seemed really poor. Maybe I didn't spray enough - it is only the teeny sample size.

This aft I tried the new Vyrao Ever 11. I quite like this. Only have a sample at the moment but I'm confident it's going to show up in either the Beauty Drop or in a Liberty scent kit soon enough.

I got a 7ml travel size of Salle Privée Ai today. Im really loving it.

I ordered this one, the Skins x JHAG and the Athenais from PDM off of Vinted. Someone was dumping them from the same advent for a really good price.

I simultaneaously sold 30 Eur worth of stuff from my Advent in return so it works out lol

It was in the liberty bac. Loads on ebay and vinted.

Im not near London but could get to Liverpool!

Was in London a couple of weeks ago. Went into the Creed shop got spritzed with Aventis for Her. Oh my was it gorgeous and lingered. But at nearly £300 I couldn’t justify.

Tried Lola at coat check today while sampling a few drawers from selfridges bac. Oh my the first spritz reminded me of a coconut cardamom barfi/gujia....any south asian ladies wil know what I mean. Now its turning quite seductive after a few hrs and I do get why Lola at the coat check in a disco would smell like this.

Vanilla Affair this evening. Slightly tobaccoey vanilla. I love tobacco in a fragrance!

Also radical rose extrait which is lovely, my favourite rose.

Hermes Eau Marvellieux this morning. Picked up a few samples last year, I like it but dh really doesn’t, so not an option for a purchase.

Spritzed Le Labo Neroli to freshen up this evening. Definitely a regret purchase, although I don’t dislike it. Just never really want to use it. I’ll never get through it at this rate.

Initio Lift Me up today.

Actually the Selfridges Fragrance isn't for me either. So far but advent I want. Hoping for good winter set by Liberty and Space NK fragrance advent

@SavageGarden23 i know what you mean! Whilst the names are silly Discotheque have a spicy undertone to the 2 or 3 I’ve tried.

SOTD warmth by M&S ( le labo dupe)

@MiaN no advent for me yet either-. I quite fancy the asos or the Dutch fragrance -heavy one posted up thread. Or maybe JL fragrance . Anyway I thought I’d wait for bargains, kits and sales and long list some discovery sets.

I have this - it’s gorgeous but doesn’t pack a punch. Classy and subtle tho.

Rainy and office day today - I’m wearing JM Hinoki and Cedar softened with a few sprays of Commodity Milk. It’s a winning combo imo.

I haven’t got any ac yet either. I picked up the space nk fac last year around mid December as it was reduced by £40, I sold some off to recoup the cost, so it worked out well. Hoping for similar reductions this year or like some of you, I’m thinking there will be some nice kits coming out hopefully.

Today I'm wearing Clinique's Aromatics Elixir - a blast from the past!

I haven't worn this in ages although it used to be a regular autumn/winter scent. There's not much left in the bottle and I'll need to RP. Does anyone know if it has changed in the last couple of years and do I need to look for old stock online?

Almost went for vanilla factory today as we’ve had some rain and I like its weirdness. But as it’s still very hot today, I went for Vyrao free 00. On paper I shouldn’t like this but it feels like ‘me’. I think it’s the water lily that I’m enjoying. An airy watery floral works best for me it seems. The older version was described as citrus-aquatic and the newer reformulated one (without water lily and now has ylang-ylang and tuberose alongside jasmine, nooooo!) is apparently an oriental-floral. Totally different!

Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals today .This is lovely - Has anyone had the harrods fac with the extrait yet and is it any different (if you have both?)

I can't imagine the extrait being much better than this one (original) to be honest, it's certainly strong enough (office day)

This is a perfume I don't wear loads of but always enjoy it when I reach for it.

There are rumours SNK won't bother with a fragvent this year. They struggled to shift it last year but that could be because they made too many! I will definitely buy one if they do

i bought my 13 year old the Victoria’s Secret Pure Seduction body mist when we were away in the summer.

Every morning when she comes down ready for school I’m reminded how amazing it smells and want some for myself.

If there’s an EDP version I might get it when I’m in the US in a couple of weeks.

I was going to ask if there was any news of one.
Fell off thread for awhile as life got in the way but I need to sort out my fragrances as I have bought loads this last year and they are all over my bedroom. 🤣
@MiaN I have the Strawberry one, I think 🤔 i bought 2 space nk fragrance advents last year when reduced. I know i sold one after sniffing it in space nk but then thought I'll keep the other as many seemed to like it. Ill dig it out,hopefully, and use at bedtime.
Was wearing dedcool taunt at bedtime but need to mix it up. I tend to spray one and stick to it until used up but I need to get out of that habit. 🤣
