After someone kindly mentioned Noted Aromas doing 5 x 5ml boxes (thank you), I ordered:

Annecy- Inspired by Angel’s Share
Marrakesh - “ Delina
Mombasa- “ Bal D’Afrique
Jaipur - “ Hibiscus Mahajad
Chamonix - “ By the Fireplace

So far Annecy is my favourite! When I smelt Angel’s Share in Space NK I was disappointed as I’d had it hyped up so much, but if it’s anything like Annecy, the dry down is amazing so maybe I need to try Angel’s Share on my skin!
This was a total blind buy from there and I loved it so much I got a big bottle. Smells like xmas to me.

I remember you saying you were sampling BDK perfumes and also some Frederic Malle. Do you not think you would buy Musc Ravageur after all? I was looking at it the other day and thought of you as you said it gave you Christmas vibes and I'm looking for seasonal perfume 😂

Are Gentle Fluidity Gold and Grand Soir very different? On Fragrantica they said they're both "Oriental Vanillas" but that could mean anything really.

Haha I am sometimes like that, or I go nose blind to a scent and end up spraying more. I always think if I don't get a compliment on a perfume the next time I wear it I will just spray more of it. I think I end up choking people out more than enchanting them 😂
Actually yeah sorry yeah I forgot about MR! Yeah i would buy it especially coming towards christmas 🎄 I think it would be ideal 🥰

I personally find GF gold and grand soir quite different. GF reminds me of a gin and I'd wear that daily wheres grand soir is more of an evening special occasion scent imo.

In fairness I'd wear grand soir to bed because I don't follow rules 🤣 grand soir would be lovely on a man too

Omg have you tried any dior? I sprayed my J'ador L'or essence de parfum I think it is and I absolutely love the scent. Lasts ages on me ❤

Thank you! I agree 🥰
Finally ordered today as I had an extra points offer on the Boots app, so that's another €15+ worth of points to go towards my next perfume purchase! I'm tempted to play the very long game and save towards Tom Ford Rose wick but like you, I enjoy using a good few spritzes of perfume each day: I reckon even if I "only" used 4 sprays per day, the 30ml bottle would last just under 3 months 😱
I only have TF soleil blanc and never sampled any other TF. Is Rose wick fabulous? 😍

The 30mls break my heart for the price but I do tend to wear a different scent every day 🫣 and find even my small bottles last longer that way in some weird way when i have rotation 😄

Assume you're in ireland because my boots app wrecks my head. I have like 25e in points and in check out it never gives me the option to use them 🤔

Yes I'm in 🇮🇪
Oh that's strange re points! Maybe stating the obvious but you know you can't use points as part payment?
I'm doing another order on Tuesday for less than the amount of points I've saved so will pay attention to/screenshot the pay with points option if it comes up and we can compare points.
Yeah Rose wick is very fabulous: my favourite TF was discontinued (story of my life) and Café Rose is beautiful and quite unique but this is more special tbh. It's very warm and spicy for a rose scent IMO and a longer lasting scent.

I so want to try Musc Ravageur. I've enjoyed everything I've tried by Frederic Malle - it is just so expensive 😂

Gentle Fluidity sounds quite nice actually now you have described it as "gin like", I might have to try it. I am totally on the same boat when it comes to wearing fragrances to bed, I want to smell like a rich queen. I think it's also quite a good indicator on how long fragrances last 😂

What scent profile is J'ador L'or? I have not tried many Dior at all. I think I tried Roses N'Roses one time which was really nice in the opening but smelt overly soapy in the dry down which I don't usually mind but didn't like there :(

I don’t have it, just In Joy and L’absolu but there are a ton of reviews here

Ooh it's a flanker for the J'adore perfume then (judging by the bottles and reviews 😂 ). It sounds so nice and one that I might put on my "to try" list for next year as it seems to be a summer perfume. What do you think of the In Joy and L'absolu perfumes?
I haven’t worn them in a long time as they’re currently stored away so I can’t remember well enough to give a really good review. I do like both more than the original. In joy is airier and a bit younger feeling to me.

Nebras elixir is lovely, kind of what I imagined her confession would smell like.. might layer them.

Reminds me of those powder covered milk bottle sweets
 
I am trying to live a Tom Ford lifestyle on a Charlie wage 😂
Edited to add - do you even get Charlie any more?
Yes my mum loved Charlie perfume so we would always get her a bottle for xmas. Now she is no longer here I took her opened bottles of Charlie so now I have loads of it 😀

I loved Charlie Red and I’ve just googled it and found they sell it in Savers, might have to splurge £4.49 on some!

I went to a perfume bottle exhibition in January this year! Loads and loads of different brands were displayed, but as I live close-ish to Cologne, many bottle from 4711 were displayed. It was a small, but very beautiful exhibition. I took a ton of pictures of the tiniest bottles ever, but I really laughed this "can" of 4711.

My mum wore Blue and Red, i dont like them on me but they smell so nostalgic to me. I used to like Gold a lot when I was younger.

I’ve been asked to ask if anyone has anything the same as Sultry Pear from Zara…I’ve heard it’s a dupe for La Belle but I’ve not smelled it personally so I don’t know how close it actually was to La Belle and the person who asked hasn’t smelled La Belle but they want something very close to the Zara one.
