Just bought Natural Talent and am very pleased. Another summertime go-to fragrance for me.
What perfume have you bought recently?
Nuit de Bakélite about a month ago. It's beautiful and poetic. This is my perfect rainy spring day perfume.
Had some amazing time with @Mitchcraft in Aberdeen yesterday and purchased Scent From Above Eau de Toilette 30 ml and a super cute
Deep Night mini from the local fragrance shop. ✨💖✨
I tried to hold myself but bought a second 200ml bottle of Grand Soir

Absolute love it, it's on top of my wishlist.
I got Khamrah for myself as a birthday gift (arrived 5/23) and I got to properly wear it for the first time today. My taste is either girly-floral-fresh or deep gourmand, and this is the latter. I am in love, and this definitely fills the "winter gourmand" hole in my collection. My main complaint is there's no nuttiness, but I can get over that.
My order of Sol de Janeiro 30 ml perfume set just arrived to the @Mitchcraft residence as I was pleasantly surprised to find it from Boots UK for £40 only. The set includes Cheirosa '40,
Cheirosa '59,
Cheirosa '62,
Cheirosa '68 and
Cheirosa '87. 😍☀️

Ooh you are gonna smell good all summer long (if it is summer where you live)!! I really love the original Brazilian Crush, and Rio Radiance is lovely too. It smells like a really rich person on a beach vacation.
I stopped buying fragrances about two years ago. After my wife passed away. I was looking at my collection. Sitting there on a shelf in a cabinet. Away from moist and daylight. Thinking to myself “how on earth am I ever, in my lifetime, gonna use these up?” and “For who, besides myself, do I need to smell good?”. The answers were simple. ‘Never and no one’ So I stopped buying new fragrances. It’s a weird hobby when you think of it. Costly too. I still enjoy most of them. Using them almost every day and night. So, until some of are depleted, I’m not buying anything new. At all.
My condolences dear JayNay...
I recently bought "Black Collection - IV | Widian / AJ Arabia"

Happy belated birthday! 🥳🎂 Did you do anything fun to celebrate?
Great idea to treat yourself to a new birthday fragrance too, and glad you're enjoying Khamrah !
I am with you - I find some of my most-loved types are girly-floral-fresh types, as well as deep gourmands. What are some of your favorites from each category?

So glad you and @Mitchcraft are getting to spend time together! 👏 And fun that you'll now have new fragrances associated with your trip - makes them that much more special! 🥰💖

I'm so sorry for your loss, @JayNay - what a huge hole in your life and heart, to lose your wife. 💔😞 I'm sure there are fragrances that possibly remind you of memories with her, which would be very bittersweet. Hope you're doing okay.
Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent, is my number one and my favorite perfume.
for its excellence, adorable and hyper aromatic fragrance. Best friend of those who love to dress elegant.
I recently bought Thumbsucker. It’s a bit too heavy now for summer with the cherry and honey notes so it’s sitting in a dark cupboard until autumn/winter rolls by
Recently completed testing of my Zaharoff samples and have ordered full bottles of the two that I liked:
I must stop, really
Xerjoff Comandante
Xerjoff Ivory Route
Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajad
Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea
Profumum Roma Ichnusa
Van Cleef Orchidee Vanille
MFK Baccarat Rouge 540
My most recent purchases were "Midnight Fantasy | Britney Spears" and a sample set of 8 Clean Reserve scents. Both were blind buys. I am really enjoying Midnight Fantasy, it smells very purple & plump and the bottle is pretty too! 🥰
They should be arriving tomorrow or Tuesday, but I’m waiting on a sample of Ganymede Eau de Parfum and a coffret set from Maison Violet. I’m excited to see what’s in store 👀

I ordered Magnolia Grandiflora Sandrine and
Magnolia Grandiflora Michel from a very nice Italian little store and thy should be arriving soon.
Sirène I love it!

Thank you for your support. Yes, a tremendous hole in my heart. I miss her everyday a lot. But I’m ok. Thank you for asking and your concerns. Sorry for my late response. 🙏🌸
