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

@MiaNenjoy your new purchase 😍😍😍

MiaN · 11/09/2026 16:54

I ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 It's gorgeous.

I am going with xerjoff starlight tonight though, I don't go out in the evening often so sticking with the plan

Lurkingshark · 11/09/2026 18:25

Ooh @MiaN what is it? And did you get freebies?

IDontHateRainbows · 11/09/2026 19:45

Le Labo Another 13 - this is a strange one, very light and smells almost like skin, but the skin of a beautiful angel. Light, musky but with a hard to describe warmth to it.

How exciting @MiaN !

I have been wearing these today - I love both! The voyager reminds me of oud mineralle form a good few years ago. The debaser is a gorgeous grubby fig. Beaut!

Going old school today with some Estée Lauder white linen. It was my Mum’s perfume when I was a little girl so evokes all sorts of memories. It has great staying power.

Who wants to see a great haul from vinted - maybe it was someone on this thread who sold them! The Fugazzi purple is for my daughter she stole my original sample so this is for her. The others are all blind buys 😳. £45 all in what do you think?

I wore this one today. It's just perfect, and I'm going to buy the 200ml bottle soon. The only thing is, I wish it lasted longer. But for the price, you can't really complain.

I got my CB samples. I like Commodity Milk Orchid less than I expected and Debaser in Bloom more than I expected. Doesn’t seem anything like Debaser though, not sure it really qualifies as a flanker.

I also tried the new Black Opium Pink Glaze in Boots. They have ruined Black Opium.

Oh no really? I loved the original and I also love the black over red. I guess they just don't know when to stop

I'll be honest I didn't realise i needed to. Yeah 5 for 45 sounds a lot better.

@HolidayHattie lol! I solemnly swear that my collection will remain curated and minimalist, and will not take over my life! Reckon I’ve used up 20+ samples so far this year, as I do like variety, I just don’t want to keep lots of bottles.

LorenaWood · 11/09/2026 22:02

Do you know them all @IDontHateRainbows? what's your verdict?

I solemnly swear to cause mischief and mayhem and encourage us all into nonsense 😂

Yes, its a good mix from mainly the recent liberty scent kit plus a couple of others.

Nice variety of smells and brands.

@LorenaWood I'm not a fan of Fugazzi purple, I gave that one away. But the bibbi deep lotus is my current favourite and is perfect for this time of year. I get so many compliments when wearing it and think I might need to buy a backup of my 30ml 😳
I've not tried the others, I have the Montale in my bac so I'm looking forward to that trying that one. I hope you enjoy them 😀

MiaN · 11/09/2026 22:19

I just added all my full bottles in new fragrantica wardrobe and.... my collection is out of control

RoseTeaLady · 11/09/2026 23:18

My collection is growing and I love it!

SOTD was Vilhelm Dear Polly. Smoky tea with a hint of citrus. Love this.

SOTE is a surprise like. Elie Saab Elixir. @IDontHateRainbows I think you may have sent me this? It’s a floral amber and I’m really enjoying it. Very cosy.

TragicMuse · 11/09/2026 23:18

Mine is wildly out of control! I have about 50 samples from 4160 Tuesdays alone! I’m just going with it. There’s no way out, I live in scent world now.

RoseTeaLady · 11/09/2026 23:19

@TragicMuse It’s a good place to be!
