Hello ♥ . That line of Diptyques is so much more expensive 😭 but it's so beautiful. I think they have a sample set of all of them but they have dabber bottles and I know I'd pour the whole thing over myself as always 😂. Haha well we are coming up to spring now (although it doesn't feel it 🥶) so you can stash your angels share away until the autumn now. Was it your most worn perfume this winter?

Oh wow how long have you been collecting them for? You should 100% keep your empties and review them, and also to see if there's a pattern with what you're using up and what's taking longer to work through. Like I find I go through citrus and other bright scents really quickly but there are some scents I love but can only wear on limited occasions and I can talk myself out of buying something by recognising that pattern. Do you keep your perfumes in shoeboxes to preserve them? I have about 25 ish perfumes overall, ranging from small 15ml bottles to 30ml and 50ml, and 2 100mls. I'm trying to put all my fragrances into chatgpt to see if it can decipher if I have a favourite scent profile or pattern and it said that the noir 29 should be my long term signature scent profile and to be honest that's quite spot on, I do love that perfume.

Yes, let me know. I do love a good tuberose scent, especially now we're getting into spring. I haven't tried many dior scents I have to say, I do love J'adore though and still have a sample of Gris Dior. I always struggle to know when the best season / occasion to wear Gris Dior is though, when do you normally wear it?

What is apom by MFK? Is it an expensive one again 😂
Hi ❤ I've been collecting for about 2 years. Started with la vie est belle and it went from there 😄 it's the thing I love spending my money on. Handbags are too expensive 😄 what about yourself? I would love to try the noir! How is it? I think they do 15mls

I can't remember if I mentioned this but I purchased the new j'adore intense. Think there was 20% off or something on boots. It's lovely however I do prefer j'adore l'or. Gris Dior is lovely. I don't reach for it as much but it is very pleasant. Would suit men especially. Mine has weirdly changed to a clear colour over time but it still smells fine 🙂

Apom by maison Francis kurkdjian is a lovely floral. Only had a sample of it. I think it's about 135 euro for 35ml of it so I may buy in the future.

I blind bought valaya exclusif by pdm last week. I really am mad doing blind buys but luckily I love it! I swear I could still smell it on me about 10 hours later! Only bought a small bottle

This is so inappropriate I know, but I wore l'eau papier by diptyque to a funeral recently and was complimented on it twice 🫢

Sotd Marfa by Memo
One of my favs! I have a sample and waiting to go through the airport to pick up the full size 🤣

The new glossier You Soie arrived and I really like it! Opens a bit alcoholic but disappears nearly immediately. Settles to lovely gentle rice, almost coconutty, suncreamy floral. Ambroxan comes out after a while on my skin but I get less than zero bergamot.

I bought the Zara Gardenia today which is also a dupe for Black Opium (I didn't know that when I got it).
So far I love it. It's starts really quite tobaccoey, but now sitting here it's quite sweet, sort of like black cherries? I've never tried Black Opium so no idea how accurate it is tbh. 30ml is £9.99.
Nothing like gardenias 😂

What does it smell like on you?
Really sharp and masculine, maybe bitter might be the word I’m looking for? Tried the exclusif as well and it was just the same! I don’t know how it’s compared to fleur Narcotique or levant, it smells nothing like them to me!

It's one of my favourite scents...I was complemented on wearing it when out for birthday meal at Murano in London!
I bought it 'blind' from Liberty as had credit to use!....I also rate Fleur de peau from Diptyque as well

How do you feel about Versace Bright Crystal? It’s been around a while and I remember wearing it years back. I’ve just sprayed some on at an airport and don’t think it’s too overpowering but I’m absolutely hopeless in judging if something is ‘too much’ as smell trends change.

I love the original pink one! I’ve had the yellow one too but I’m not so fussed on the new green one.
It’s a bit of a sentimental one for me, my late MIL used to buy me massive bottles of it for Christmas. I’m going away next week and you’ve actually prompted me to have a look in duty free as I’ve not had it for ages.
