After using up quite a few perfumes recently that I will definitely repurchase again, I took a look at what's left in my collection.

I still think I have a problem 😄 anybody care to share their collection be it one bottle or many bottles 🙃and also the minis. Here's mine right now.

After sampling the PDM discovery set, I finally bought Delina Exclusif. It finally arrived today!

This has been quite a big deal for me because I'd never ever imagine spending 280 euro on a fragrance. 165 euro for Diptique use to be my cut off point and bring my husbands blood pressure up! 😄

Well Delina is everything you could ever imagine and more, beautiful and very feminine. The bottle AND lid are very heavy but it feels very luxurious and as it should be for the price! I hope the bottle lasts a while. I'll probably keep it for special occasions etc. I'm planning on wearing it to a wedding.

But I can guarantee you that nobody will compliment me on it. It's always a 12 euro bottle of SJP Lovely ( trusty old classic) that gets you the compliments 😂

Does anybody ever love going to weddings or parties etc where people are at their most glamorous and you end up smelling new fragrances or something you've never tried before on guests? It's a great conversation starter too.

I was at a wedding at the weekend and was shocked that I could only pick up on the scent of my cousin who wasn't even the bride. She smelled so divine even at 2AM after much dancing and of course I had to ask what it was. PRADA PARADOXE she says.

Definitely my next purchase for sure 👌

Today it's our 5th wedding anniversary and I woke up feeling all nostalgic 💗so I'm wearing my wedding day perfume, Mon Guerlain. Even my husband compliments me on this, which is quite rare tbh 😆

What was your wedding day perfume? 👰

New to the thread, I only found it the other day. Complete perfume addict here, I’ve got over 200 different scents. I can’t commit to one signature scent at all. Relationship=one person 😂

I'd try it!

I have to say though, I'm pretty fed up of every autumn/winter perfume having vanilla notes 😅

I wear a lot of vanilla notes and deal with a lot of Americans - I'm shit sick of being told "you smell like sUgAr cOoKiEs!" 🤣

I got two free samples of Charlotte Tilbury's fragrances, Magic Energy and Calm Bliss.

Magic Energy, on me, was straight up bananas (literal and metaphorical), going from ripe bananas to green bananas and then back again plus a vague sort of beachy woody scent in the dry down. Reading the sample card I was expecting an aromatic green fragrance, so I was kind of mystified. It almost smelt like it could be a Bronze Goddess flanker. It was OK, and I will probably use up my sample but wouldn't buy a bottle.

Calm Bliss started promisingly: a watery floral merging Estee Lauder's Beyond Paradise with a light watered down version of Cacharel's LouLou and a hint of Davidoff Cool Water Woman, but then unfortunately disintegrates quickly into department-store-bathroom handwash.

The fragrances were both more interesting than I thought they would be. I had been wary after memories of the awful musty-blousey Scent of a Dream, but these were not in that realm of terrible.

(Bit of a lurker on here, hope it's OK to butt in 🙂)

decided I'm on a no buying of perfume for the remainder of 2024 ( which isnt that long really ).

This is so i can start using up my many samples I have purchased ( and subscription buys) over course of 2024. I have so many now and I feel guilty for having so many ( and for succumbing to consumerism) . So that's the plan . No buying new perfume (even though id really like to buy Kilian - Apple Brandy on the rocks) .

I haven’t tried any of the Kayali fragrances.
They have been mentioned here a few times. Any particular ones you all love? Pistachio gelato sounds like my kind of perfume 😍

Pistachio gelato smells like nougat in the best way possible.

vanilla 28 is a classic brown sugar vanilla blend and great for layering.

Eden juicy apple you could miss, it’s a slightly more nuanced version of b delicious by DKNY.

Utopia coco is an intense version and smells like coconutty high end sun screen. Great for summer and very long lasting.

vanilla Royale again is an intense version, but an acquired taste it could be described as a bit old ladyesque in the way Chanel no 5 sometimes is.

love fest burning cherry is stunnning.A really smokey boozy cherry.

Oudgasm vanilla is lovely but you’d really have to enjoy an oud.

that’s not even all the ones I own. But the 10ml size is brilliant for trying them out and great for travel/handbags too.

Mona and Huda have been so vocal about 🇵🇸 so I have no problem dropping as much as I have on their brands ❤
