this takes me back to my school years, I absolutely LOVED this fragrance

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

I got 3 samples of Victoria Beckham (those awful card ones with a drop of fragrance under a sticker).
I tried the blue one first, gorgeous. Reminded me of Bal D'afrique but with a sweetness like BR540.
Today I dabbed San Ysidro Drive. I could smell much so I sprayed something else, can't remember.
In work I kept getting wafts of like an old incontinent unwashed lady smell. Rose and stale urine. Very disappointed in my usually pristine colleagues.
Got home and lifted the card out of the bin... Yep, it was that. The reviews seemed good on fragrantica so maybe it was a bad sample. I hope nobody else noticed the smell

What’s some of the discontinued gems, you would love to be brought back?
I wish VW Boudoir was still £30 a bottle so I could try it

I could strangle old me for not stocking up from home bargains!! I have one full 50ml.What’s some of the discontinued gems, you would love to be brought back?

I got the sample set, sold the white one on as it was so revolting (Suite 302 I think), not tried the blue one yet but the yellow has turned my stainless steel watch strap black and left black smears all over my wrist! I’ve tested it a couple of times and no other perfume has ever done this so no idea what’s in it that my skin or the metal is reacting too.I got 3 samples of Victoria Beckham (those awful card ones with a drop of fragrance under a sticker).

I am an "oldie" and my all time favourite perfume is Azuree by Estee Lauder. I started wearing this back in the 70s. They stopped selling this in places where you could buy Estee Lauder products except Selfridges in London which was the only place you could buy it. I believe they have re-introduced it but I have read it is not the same.
Would you ask someone if you smelled a nice perfume on them? I did many years ago to a lady who used to get the same bus as me to work. Every morning I got the most divine smell of her perfume. She told me it was by Sisley and all these years later I could not remember which one so treated myself recently to two bottles one of Soir de Lune and one of Eau du Soir. It is very expensive though but got them on a John Lewis deal.
I also like Chanel No 5, Prada Paradoxe, Armani Si and Burberry Goddess.
One that would bring back teenage memories is Cachet. Used to drown myself in that before going out

Went to Zara Sunday and their amber range of perfumes are absolutely divine, highly recommend if you like amber-y smells, there are 4 different ones. Also picked up Zara 'Amalfi Sunray' is sooo lemony and fresh, I am in love
Yeah it was £16 iirc. I’m a bloody idiot aren’t I?! I stocked my mum up and not me. She didn’t even deserve it!!OMG … it was in home bargains at some point!
Guard that bottle with your LIFE
My husband loves that one...its v like a Tom Ford scent!Also picked up Zara 'Amalfi Sunray' is sooo lemony and fresh, I am in love
I'm a Carolina Herrera woman - the original 212, none of your sexy, vip, blah blah lol. Unfortunately it's increasingly hard to get now 
I’ve not long bought a bottle in Superdrug!I'm a Carolina Herrera woman - the original 212, none of your sexy, vip, blah blah lol. Unfortunately it's increasingly hard to get now
Omg really? Thank you! I've searched everywhere but didn't think of there
Yeah, doesn’t seem to be on their website but they had it behind the counter at the tills. The original 212 is by far the best!
YSL Babydoll, it would transport me back to being 19What’s some of the discontinued gems, you would love to be brought back?

I'd love to smell Babydoll again - I bet I would still adore it.
I ask people often, especially if something really grabs me. And sometimes it will be a perfume I've had before and it's never smelled that nice on me. I had a lot of parosmia after Covid (total scent loss for 3 weeks then 18 months of altered). I don't think anything smells the same anymore but it might and it's me that's changed.
Funnily enough my sense of smell has never been the same since having Covid in the first lockdown. I lost all taste/smell for a few weeks and my sense of smell is still weird. I keep having to put plates of food down as something doesn't smell right and it's not the food, it's me. I wonder if that's why I can't get my perfumes right......
Hormones really affected mine. Pregnancy meant I could barely wear any fragrance for a good year.
