Reviews were not that positive, longevity seems to be an issue.
Yes I tried it recently and love it but it’s probably not the strongest of fragrances, quite subtle but I love the scent and I will definitely be buying it soon..

I will do.

I have already tried Andrea Maack - Jest . I absolutely love this. I am on my 2nd sample of it. The smell is like a rich chocolate / plum and vanilla. Such brilliant performance as well. If I could use a word to describe it - I would say decadent.

I looked at buying a 15ml from her website ( no uk stockists ☹). The 15ml is 145 euro and I suspect there would be tax on top as well since it’s coming from Iceland.
Where did you get your sample from originally? I’m not sure how I feel
About a chocolate note, love vanilla and plum though!
145 for 15ml is extortionate!!!!! I don’t think I could pay that much unless that 15ml would last me forever!! Do you know anyone going to Iceland on holiday 🤣🤣🤣

I bought it from small aromas.

I agree about the 145 euro for 15ml - it is a crazy price but I think Iceland is also an expensive country so maybe it’s inline with costs of products there?

I didn’t take in the price!! I think I read it as 150ml!! Wow. I had no idea it was so expensive.

Yes it’s quite expensive, I went last year and even though I knew it was going to be pricey I wasn’t prepared for exactly how expensive it actually was! Definitely worth it though and I hope to go back one day, if I do I’ll get you a bottle 🤣🤣🤣

I just ordered a sample of latest Narciso Rodriguez perfume from small aromas this evening.

Hoping I like it!

I also ordered a couple of other samples .

2 x maison margiela perfumes ( Never Ending Summer & After The Dawn)
Thameen - Patiala
Andrea Maack - Neon Veil
Still waiting on this order to arrive. It’s been sat in Bristol sorting office for about a week now 😐

Anyway.. trialling Frederic Malle - Musc Ravegeur

I smell like Mr Sheen. Don’t know what else to say about it.

Finished a sample of Tocca Lucia. I was hoping for zingy, fresh, summery seaside citrus goodness and, to me, it smelt like a digestive biscuit. Shame.
 
I’m just here to say I made it through January with no fragrance purchases as planned 🎉

I did managed to sneak one in on the 31st December though 😅 massimo dutti white tulip and barley. Supposedly a dupe for bal d’afrique but I can’t confirm as I’ve never smelled it. It’s is beautiful though, easy to wear, subtle but decent longevity. I’ve been wearing it to bed all month. €40 for 100ml.

Jaysus, might take that off my trial list! I loved Carnal Flower and L’eau de Hiver, but the silage from L’eau de Hiver is just non existent. So I’m going to treat myself to Carnal Flower!

It’s here!! It’s sweet but the sandalwood balances it out really nice and gives it a woody note so it’s not sickly. Would be a nice going out perfume as it’s quite sexy.

Has anyone tried ‘Profumum Roma Battito D'ali’? It’s suggested as a possible replacement for Jo Malone’s Blue Agave and Cacao? They do offer samples to purchase, so might pick one up…but wondering if anyone has tried it?

Consider me influenced! Signed up for Scentbird and chosen this as my first scent!

Hi everyone long time no talk. Hope Christmas was good to you all 🥰 are yous expecting any perfume off your partners on valentine's day? or even as a treat to your lovely single self 😉 😊 sure why not! ❤

I'm on a no spend till at least April. I have a wedding then and I just know I will buy something for it 🤪 any recommendations? I'm trying to be practical and have pulled out bottles that have bits left that need using over the next couple of months. Prada candy I would definitely repurchase, absolutely love it. I've got another lveb by lancome that I got gifted a year ago so I definitely need this bottle used up. Elie saab in white one of my favourites. Great staying power. Chloe absolu and lady million are OK but wouldn't run out to repurchase. Jm velvet rose and oud is fabulous and the staying power is good for jm.

Hi @HelloStereo ❤ Hope Christmas was good to you. I end up wearing angels share on Christmas day. Would definitely repurchase! That or musc ravageur would be great for the festive season. I got a 30ml of delina la rosee but would love the 75ml! What's orpheon like? I love diptyque. So worth the £££. I got beach skin body spray by phur and marc Jacobs perfect absolu as gifts over Christmas. Bs will definitely be getting used all over summer ☀ 😍 not quite use to the marc Jacobs one yet. It's quite strong
