The scrubbers! 😆

No not tried any of them.
So many lovely fragrances don’t last long do they. Ironically the ‘scrubbers’ do 🤣

My last sample set of Oud by Escentual was lovely. I recently discovered them on the Perfumista thread on Mumsnet.

I bought a ‘box set’ of Penhaligon’s finest samples because I was blown away by the amazing website and the gorgeous packaging.
I wanted to love one, but they really aren’t my thing at all. They’ve all got something in common in them - and I don’t like it.
I’ve bought Shay & Blue Salt Caramel and Tonka Angelica (I bought this blind as I love vanilla and almond) but despite being called edp they aren’t strong and don’t last.
The best (and cheapest) surprise was Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker.
Really unusual. Fresh and cosy at the same time and a gorgeous bottle.
Have you tried anything by Juliette Has A Gun?

Oops just seen about the samples!
Anything grab you?

Not for Christmas but I did re-buy Shazam! from 4160 Tuesdays but before.
I had hovered over it on the website without buying and a couple of hours later they offered me a deal - 50ml for the 30ml price 👏.
Along with being a small British company they refill the bottles too and do reduced packaging etc so I do like to patronise them.

Have you got a new one recently?

‘Morning NotAGran! Thank you for joining.
I know you love your perfume, did you get any for Christmas?
I’ve recently been buying far too much. I’ve spent a fortune on sample sizes alone.

Good morning Fanny 🦉

Hello smile
We haven’t had a Night Owls thread for ages, so I thought I’d start one.
I know that there are quite a few of us about in the wee small hours, and it can be a lonely time.
So here it is.
I look forward to chatting in the nights and weeks to come x
