Still can't work out how I feel about Glossier You! Some days I really like it but others I get that pencil shavings smell. Glad I didn't get a full size one! Also wish I'd tried the original formulation everyone seems to rave about.

What’s everyone wearing today ? I have on Moon Carnival from Vilhelm Perfumerie today.
I know it’s popular, but I bought YSL Libre EDP a few days ago because I do like the smell. Everything I’ve read says it’s strong and long lasting, but it seems to disappear after a few hours on me, I swear my skin eats up fragrance 
Maybe I should have bought the Intense version, but I read one review that said this projects even less and is more of a skin scent. I already have the le parfum version which I would say lasts a bit longer on me than the EDP.

Are you applying over body lotion? I find if I don't wear lotion my perfumes don't last as long.I know it’s popular, but I bought YSL Libre EDP a few days ago because I do like the smell.

I have the old formulation, I don't find it's that different to the new version, just less creamy. People used to say the old version smelled like pencil shavings too, I think the ambroxan note just does that to some people's skin.
I've only tested in store but if I had only smelled the newer version I think I'd like it just as much. Saying that, I'm treasuring the little I have left of the old version and might leave a drop or two in the bottle once I'm done with it in case I ever miss it.

Moon Fiction by And Other Stories. Some reviews say it smells like Byredo Gypsy Water but I wouldn't know. It's fruity and musky.

Yes. It’s very sweet and honey soaked. Lasts very well as well.
If that isn’t your thing I wouldn’t recommend. I have the BR540 one and it really lasts. The diptyqe ones are also good.
I find them great for layering if you want to do two different scents without them both being too loud.

I have the intense and it definitely lasts. Try popping it in a drawer without the lid for a week or two. It speeds up the ”maturing” of the perfume and can help with longevity.I know it’s popular, but I bought YSL Libre EDP a few days ago because I do like the smell.

No I’m not - which body lotion? Any?

Thank you, I will try this!
I also have the intense.
I can smell it on myself after a full day at work

Yea any will be fine, I just find hydrated skin seems to make scents cling to me more.
I'm wearing Moncler Sunrise, I love it. Very summery but not coconuty/beachy more fresh. It has a lot of Parma Violet at first. I still want a proper holiday perfume but may have left it too late now.
I got that one too recently and thought the same. I bought it because when I used the tester I could still smell it on myself when I was tucked into bed for the night.I know it’s popular, but I bought YSL Libre EDP a few days ago because I do like the smell.

I do think I just get nose blind to a scent after using it a couple of times though, and it probably does last. I picked up a jumper from my cupboard and could still smell the perfume on it from a few days ago, so I wouldn't fret.
Funnily enough I got a compliment from someone asking what I was wearing the day I after I posted this. I couldn’t smell it, but other people obviously could so I think it’s true we can go nose blind.
I was wafting through duty free this week (living the dream, haven’t flown for over a decade) and decided to spritz myself with Clinique Happy because I’ve never tried it and always wanted to. Whenever I’ve been past a Clinique counter over the past few years there’s never been a tester available. Anyway, thought it was a lovely holiday scent and at £19.99 it was a bargain. To me it smells SO similar to Tommy Girl.
Sotd - Memo Marfa. Not sure I am that keen but it was in a beauty box so didn't technically buy it.
Finally tried out Zara perfumes the other week. I got Applejuice which I loved in store but it just isn't lasting on me so using it as more of a body spray. My daughter chose Red Vanilla. She wants Sol de Janiero for her school bag but it is a bit ££ for an 11 year old and I don't trust her not to lose it tbh.

Boots are doing dupes of the sol de janeiro sprays for £4/5 which are apparantly very similar to the more expensive sprays.

I'm using Sana Jardin Tiger by her side and Narciso Rodriguez pure musc for her at present.
Because the first is quite incense like and the second, well, musky I've ordered some Clinique Happy as a lighter perfume as we'll probably have an Indian summer!

2 of my absolute faves!!
I was looking for a cheap every day perfume as my Valentino born in Roma is just getting too pricey to warrant wearing daily!
I stumbled across Vera Wang Princess on Amazon for £18.00 for a huge bottle and thought I’d give it a try. For an Eau de toilette at this price I’m really impressed! Smells lovely and seems to last half of the day, and after a couple of squirts half way through it’s fine till the evening. Bottle is also really cute and looks nice in the collection

When did they change it? I bought it for one of the kids ages ago but stocked up on three bottles as I kkkw they love it, but they have had them all now.
