Is that Guerlain, TB?

I am wearing Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay, it was just the end of a sample but I quite like it on me.

I’m wearing a sample of l’interdit Rouge (Givenchy) and I really think I’m going to have to buy a full size bottle at some point as I really love it.

I bought a 10ml travel size of Burlington 1819 by Roja Parfums on Vinted for 40 EUR. The 100 ml retails at 380 EUR so I suppose I got a bargain! It is gorgeous.

I do own this now, after finding it in TK Maxx for 1/3 of the RRP. I’ve been wearing it today.

I bought Burberry Her Elixir at the airport yesterday, I like it but its maybe a little sweet.

You've reminded me, when mum died, we found a collection of Champs Elysees scent bottles stored in a drawer and a large, almost empty, bottle on her dressing table. The thing is, you can't buy Champs Elysees easily. You can still get it, as part of Guerlain's 'Legendaires' range of classic scents, but the bottle isn't as pretty as the pre-2007 ones that mum kept. It's not the sort of thing she would have bought for herself. So, we're wondering, where did all these bottles of not-easily-found scent come from? We think it was an old 'beau'.

Good find. I love that one for the summer.

I never find any good perfume in our TK Maxx. It's always just Elizabeth Arden Green Tea.

The selection’s definitely not as good as it used to be.

I used to wear that as a teen <3

I’ve been wearing Diptyque Orpheon this week, after reading about it on Marie Claire online, I think. It’s one that Ella very kindly sent me. Quite similar to Fleur de Peau in that it’s quite a close to the skin scent and tends to be more noticeable to others than the wearer. I really like it.

I absolutely love Orpheon, Pip. I think it's named after a jazz bar where the founders of Diptyque used to meet up.
