What is the last fragrance you either purchased or received?

Last week I go a bottle of Jo Malone's newy Blue Agava & Cocao. I am loving it.

I last bought Renee, Snowpeach and got given the Green Apple Deisel one. I did order some from Demeter, but I havn't recieved them yet :tears:

The last one I bought was J.Lo Miami Glow, about 3 weeks ago.....I'd say I'll bring another one into my collection this week though. Not sure which one but I shall have MORE! MORE I SAY! Mwahahaha *stroke cat*

Last one I bought was My Lulu by Terri (perfume oil). Last one I got as a pressie was Stella by Stella McCartney. It's my staple and is about to run out, so might have to drop some not-so-subtle hints for a new bottle!

I am so with you Ozkat! I say the more fragrance the better!

I love Stella. I think it is going to be one of my ever lasting favourites. In 50 years I think this will still be extremely popular and bcome one of the classic perfumes.

Britney Spears Fantasy (2nd bottle) - very embarrassing to admit but it smells divine and I always get flattering comments when I wear it!

I love it to Racky. I don't care what people say I think it's gorgeous and I love the bottle. Have you had a chance to smell her new Midnight Fantasy yet?

Hi Pinkcupcake...I love the bottle isnt it so pretty! Havent had a chance to smell her new perfume but will make a point of it next time Im out!

it was a tie[spel ?] between jasmine - pea in a pod & a new bottle of champs elysee

One of the fragrances on my wish list just jumped onto my owning list...
Yesterday I got Young Sexy Lovely by YSL... It's sublte, but yummy! :hearts:
it does smell a bit like Baby Doll... but that's cool cause I've got that too & love it...

the most recent one i received as a present was Dolce & Gabbana's 'The One'. I went up to bf before Christmas and said "i want this perfume for Christmas". i get what i want, he gets me something he doesn't have to think about :encore: and knows i'll like!

and yesterday bought a Vanilla EDT from The Body Shop. It's so yummy, smells like vanilla essence, i'm doing all i can not to gnaw my arms off!!! :D

I love Dolce & Gabbana The One. I have it to it reminds me of Ice Cream Soda.

Today I got the New Britney fragrance Midnight Fantasy. I don't care what people think I love it and the bottle rocks!

I just purchased Chanel Chance eau Fraiche :D :D :D WOO HOO! I love it so so so much. I think I will be wearing this one a whole lot for the next little while!!

My last Fragrance was Heiress by Paris Hilton. Slightly embaressed but its so sweet and gorgeous... smells like sherbert

I just purchased Chanel Chance eau Fraiche :D :D :D WOO HOO! I love it so so so much. I think I will be wearing this one a whole lot for the next little while!!

Just for your info girls the new Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche has notes of:
Citron, water hyacinth, jasmine absolute, white musk, vetiver, amber, patchouli and teak wood.

The last one I got was Philosophy's Baby Grace.

The last one I purchased was L'Occitane's Ambre.

I sniffed Chance eau Fraiche on a card last week and thought it might be quite nice! I am looking fwd to trying it some time.

Today I got a bottle of Stila's latest fragrance called Midnight Bloom. I don't think it is available here in Australia yet. A friend got it for me in America. I love it but then again I am a fan of all 3 Stila fragrances with Creme Bouquet being my all time favourite. Anyways back on to Midnight Bloom, it contains notes of sweet fig, sandalwood and amber. Love it.

OMG! I already love it and I havent even smelt it!:chuckle:

Yes Miss Fendi,
I was about to suggest this one to you as one you might like but haven't as yet tried. I think this one will be right up your alley!

I have never smelled any of the Stilas. Are they carried by DJ's?

Possibly DJs but more likely at Mecca Cosmetica teacake :)

They're quite nice; what kind of scents do you go for? Creme Bouquet is a creamy (go figure!) vanilla floral, Jade Blossom has green notes and Midnight Bloom, as you've seen, is warm and spicy. I know PCC is a fan of these, especially Creme Bouquet. I think she has reviewed previously, might be worth doing a search?

OH well in Melbourne Mecca Cosmetica is in DJ's so I guess I think of them as one (yeah I know they are not).

I go for all kinds of scents with the exception of some greens which I occasionally find irritating. From the descriptions I would go for Midnight Bloom. I will keep my eye out next time I'm in DJ's (thought there is soooooo much on my list to spend time smelling there).

I think the Stila fragrances are exclusive to Mecca Cosmetica in Australia. I am a huge fan of the Stila fragrances with Creme Bouquet being my all time favourite fragrance. Each of the three Stila scents are extremely different. Definitely have a smell if you get the chance!

I had a read about Midnight Bloom, sounds beautiful!

Oh my parents just got back from Malaysia and got me another bottle of Chanel Coco Madamoiselle (I can't spell it so sorry if it's wrong!)

:chuckle:

Oh man I can FINALLY contribute to this thread! Today I bought the Loccitane Cherry Blossom fragrance. It's the first fragrance I've bought it a year because I'm extremely picky about what I do and don't like.

This one I love! So floral. I luuurve the florals.

Congratulations!! What a great one to buy! So pretty, the bottle, the juice.. it's lovely. I am dying to try it again myself.

Tahitian Gardenia By Urban Rituelle is the last fragrance I purchased. Got a box set of mini Urban Rituelle fragrances for Christmas and the Tahitian Gardenia was my favourite so I bought the full sized 60ml bottle. Gorgeous bottle with atomiser (very vinatage looking).

Oh Cherry Blossom is one of my all time fave flowers. I'm going to have to check out the website for this :)

I've never smelled the Cherry Blossom, Toastie. Give us a review :)

I have the Mor perfume in Cherry Blossom - very sweet with a vintage inspired bottle with atomiser.

I love the MOR fragrances, I think there's one with Green Tea, not sure of the name... but I love it, and they are so reasonably priced.

I know the one VeeE! It's called Jasmine Tea, and it's very pretty and I reckon a bit refreshing too, because it's so light. I've got the shower gel and am going back for the other stuff!

Yep it's Jasmine and Green Tea. I love the Mor fragrances I just about have all of them (surprise surprise:rolleyes:). My favourites are Marshmallow, Sorbet and Gelato.

Bought my sister 'FlowerBomb" by Viktor & Rolf. We are have complete opposite tastes, and I think it is foul but se loves it. If you like Thierry Mugler Angel, you will like FlowerBomb.

Flowerbomb is one that I just cannot figure out. To me it smells really sickly sweet but it dries down nicely....but I'm not sure if the drydown is worth the pain of the topnotes. It's nice when it's been sitting on a card for half a day. :)

I think it has a horrid 'tea' note. It makes it irritating to me. Without the tea note it would be an Angel/Euphoria clone.

The bottle is great though :)

Today I purchased two fragrances (well repurchased them actually). I stumbled across Sarah Jessica Parkers Lovely and Lovely Liquid Satin 50ml for $49.95 each. I think I may give one to my Mum for mothers day but then I will probably change my mind a be greedy and keep them both for my self. At that price I just couldn't resist even though I already have them both in my collection!

My Lovely Mum just came home with a bottle of Beyond Paradise Blue for me. She knew I had been wanting to get it.

PCC what is the Lovey Liquid Satin like? Is it a gel like the #5 Sensual Elixer?

Today I got Annick Goutal's Songes.. I will probably give this one as a gift.

I love Flowerbomb. I guess it's just a matter of personal choice. Just because certain notes may be "horrid" to one person doesn't mean that every person will see it that way.:chuckle:

I wanted to love it.. and might some day. Notes like that tea one that bothers me are the sort that either dominate a fragrance in my mind or fade away so I can't even remember smelling them. I haven't had a proper testing of it, yet to get my hands on a sample or decant.

The last perfume I bought was Mitsouko (Guerlain). I want to get L'Heure Bleue too (like I don't have enough perfumes already).

I got Armani Code today.

Meow did you buy the edt or edp?

I have both but haven't really gotten into the edt. I love the edp and the parfum. But I'm waiting for the weather to get colder to really go on a Mitsouko kick.

EDT. I put it on this morning (7am) and I can still smell it on me now (3pm).

I heard a rumour that Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleue were being ditched. I hope it isn't true.

They are not being ditched. Mitsouko is being reformulated because oakmoss is now banned. I hope it doesn't change too much.

I got Chance Eau Fraiche by Chanel and Agent Provocateur Maitresse on Saturday. I also got Shalimar, Byzance and Boss Intense from Chemist Warehouse yesterday.

What's the Maitresse like PCC? this one is on my wishlist but I haven't sniffed it yet! :)

I love it Jaime, I actually much prefer it to the previous two Agent Provocateur fragrances (of which I have both). The Eau Emotionelle was realy just a lighter more modernised version of the original whereas Maitresse (meaning mistress) is a completely different scent. From memory notes include: White Lotus Petals, Ylang Ylang, Osmanthus and Jasmine. It's very Jasmine to me so if you like jasmine I think you would like this one.

I think it has a nice suede feel to it, it's very smooooooooooooth.. I'm about to go to bed and I think I'll spray a bit on.

Got to smell this one at the Adore shop, it is lovely and the bottle very catching.

Today I picked up another bottle of Versace Bright Crystal 50ml for $39. Thought it was a bargain!

Picked up a bottle of Angel Innocent yesterday for just $39!

That's exactly where I got it Sapphire! Good old Priceline! I also have a built in radar when it comes to perfume. It goes off anytime I see shops that stock fragrance! It's like a blaring ambulance siren screaming find a bargain, find a bargain!

Great prices! At this point I feel very lucky not to be interested in either of those otherwise I would be off to Priceline tomorrow. The two Pricelines I frequent don't have those as I recall, mostly just a lot of older Lauders, Fendi, etc..

I do feel tempted by Bright Crystal's bottle but.. I will be good.

My local Priceline is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and Britney Spears Curious central!

Yes Ozcat those are very big where I am too..

Going to bed now, wearing Aquolina's Chocolovers.

Teacake, I remember you said somewhere that you tried Bvlgari pour femme and liked that. I got myself a set of it with perfume, small soap and body lotion in Priceline for about $60. But that was more than a year ago. I always have a look because you never know what you’ll find!

I have Bvlgari pour Femme on my gift list as in "you can gift me this, it is not hard to find and often quite bargainful" LOL.. I will probably be checking out priceline this weekend.

Today I picked up another bottle of Versace Bright Crystal 50ml for $39. Thought it was a bargain!

PCC, what does this one smell like? Do you know the notes? I have never worn a Versace scent, but love the bottle of this one. xo

Yesterday I walked past a woman in Safeway stacking shelves and she smelled like.. cake frosting. It was very soft and pretty with sugarry undertones. I had to ask! It was .. FANTASY by Ms. Spears, lol.

Today I found a 100ml of it for 34.95 and I couldn't resist! I have always admired the bottle too.

I also went to priceline today and did not see either Bright Crystal or Angel Innocent. I did see a 100ml of Miss Dior Cherie for 89.00 which I thought a good price and a 30ml of MaxMara for 29.00 which tempted me but I resisted.

Today beau and I walked past Perfume Connection with its windows covered in SALE signs and balloons and I was almost drooling with lust but beau rightly steered me away, reminding me that we are on a strict pre-wedding money-diet. Oh the angst of it all!

I can't even remember what it is like. I do recall it reminded me of Angel Schlesser (sp) in that it was niiiiiice but not really distinctive.

If it makes you feel better Sapphire I was in Perfume Connection today and there really isn't anything very exciting on sale. Same old, same old. The varying Agent Provocateurs are a lot cheaper at the moment but that's about it.

Thanks teacake - that does make me feel better!

And to you, ozcat and Luisa B - I am a bit of an old-soul at heart, so well picked up on the 'beau' thing! I also have this odd desire to make old-fashioned words and phrases popularly used again - beau is my latest one, I guess!

I love 'paraphanalia'... I think I spelt it right?

My favourite is haberdashery. You don't get many chances to use it though. I've also been saying 'I concur!" a fair bit.

Sorry to keep bumping the thread fragrance gurus!

PCC, what does this one smell like? Do you know the notes? I have never worn a Versace scent, but love the bottle of this one. xo

Hi Jaime,
Bright Crystal by Versace has notes of Pomegranate, yuzu, frosted accord, peony, magnolia, lotus, plant amber, musk and mahogany. It is a sweet floral with fruity and musky accents. I find it very light and it doesn't last terribly long on my skin but it smells so yummy (reminds me of sherbert).

PCC what is the Lovey Liquid Satin like? Is it a gel like the #5 Sensual Elixer?

Today I got Annick Goutal's Songes.. I will probably give this one as a gift.

Teacake, the lovely liquid satin is like an oil. Beware it stains clothing very easily and sits on the surface of the skin for quite a while. I prefer the edp personally but the smell does last for hours with the liquid satin.

In a moment of madness I went slightly troppo on perfume today (i'm blaming it on my doctors appointment earlier this morning).

Went via The Perfume Connection and ended up getting Ralph Rocks by Ralph Lauren and Dolly Girl Bonjour L'Amour by Anna Sui in there.

Next Stop was a little Boutique in Hobart where I picked up Annik Goutal's Vanille Exquise and Diptyque's Do Son fragrance (I have the candle and love it yet am a bit unsure of the fragrance now I have bought it).

Finally went through Myer and decided to get a new bottle of Chanel Coco Madmoiselle.

Lol, that would be sapphire, Miss PCC!

Sounds a bit too sweet for me, alas :(

:chuckle: ... I didn't even pick up on that one!

PCC I have a sample of Do Son. I don't recall it but here are my exact notes (I keep a spreadsheet of all my samples):

"A green tuberose

Medium lasting strength

Interesting, the green is high pitched. More transparent than creamy. Tuberose is lovely.

Keep, wear! See if second testing green element is less bothersome."

Now I can't recall this at all and I have yet to give it a second testing! But I will since you have a bottle. Lucky you to get Diptyque in Hobart, DJ's no longer carries it here.

I know Teacake, I was shocked to find it in a little boutique I frequent. Must say they only had a limited range. This little boutique also stocks Aesop, L'Occitane and Tocca (must say very starnge for Hobart). I will give the Do Son a good try and report back on my findings.

Lol, that would be sapphire, Miss PCC!

Sounds a bit too sweet for me, alas :(

Wow, notes!! That's dedication to the cause!

Got my Marc Jacobs today – it smells exquisite. Also spritzed some Coco Mademoiselle in Price Attack (can you believe I have never even sniffed this?) – this started out sort of boring but the dry down makes my mouth water. I got an unexpected whiff of it this afternoon and thought, who is wearing that gorgeous perfume? Then realised it was me!

Actually, what are the differences between Coco and Coco Mademoiselle? Notes etc?

Coco and Coco Mademoiselle are completely different. Coco is a spicy rose.

Coco Mademoiselle has a lot of difference in the edt and edp. The edp is more creamy with the pathcouli base coming through (though this is very floral, not something a patchouli hater would notice). With the edt the grapefruit is much more prevalent. Personally I prefer the edp though I don't wear either of them. As I recall the notes are quite different for the edt and edp, really a fan would have both of them happily.

Coco was one of my first fragrances, the edp in the unmistakable bottle. Was around 20 years ago!

Very interesting...thanks teacake. I cannot remember if I tried the edp or edt though...

Spicy rose...Coco sounds like my sort of perfume ;)

I have the Parfum's (the strongest concentrate available) in Coco, Coco Mademoiselle, Allure, Allure Sensuelle and No 5 by Chanel. They are the tiniest little bottles but the scent lasts all day and night.

Just put a dab of Coco Mademoiselle on to remind me!

Today I got 3 fragrances in the mail. Chopard's Wish, Youth Dew (this is a gift for a friend) and a big bottle of Champs Elysee which I am in love with. I already had a smaller bottle but I am using it up fast.

Today I ordered two Wickle fragrances from Kit. I got the Muskmallow and Fig & Mace! Have no idea what they smell like but just decided to buy them anyway. Will get them tomorrow all being well with Australia Post's express service!!

I received a gift yesterday of Burberry Weekend and I just love it! Unfortunately though it does not seem to last very long on my skin....

What are the notes Jaime?

Got this Opium edt collectors edition today..


http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2007-2/1242548/OpiumCollector.jpg

This bottle and design is absolutely beautiful. I want one of those compact things too. :)

Oh, oh, I just realised I've reached more than 1000 posts! Yippee!

It is a beautiful cloissone effect! Going for a pittance on ebay (can't believe it was something like 120.00 for the 50ml when it came out). I haven't seen the compact but I haven't looked. I also love the pattern in the photo behind the bottle, with the dragons. I wish they would release a bottle with that pattern on it!

This is another fragrance I am considering buying just for the bottle, I must say.

And you know the bottle is very slimline. It is much thinner and tapered than the regular Opium edt which you don't see in the photo.

Pardon my ignorance Rosie but what is MMS?

A Canadian etailer, Make Me Smooth. They make THE most divine stuff................ the only killers are the exchange rates :explode: and the fact that they have a 3-4 week turn-around-time, but the upside is, you get bloody brilliant quality, excellent customer service (up there with Adore), and everything fresh because it is made up on the day it ships. :hearts:

I got Philosophy's Falling in Love today, it finally arrived after waiting forever.

Finally :clapping: Was it worth the wait? :typing:

ETA: On another subject entirely, I just got an email telling me that the MMS sale is til 31st July. Can anyone else see me making another order? :whipcrack:

Finally :clapping: Was it worth the wait? :typing:

I think so Rosie!! I've detected a slightly melon note which I don't remember from trying it before, but it's nothing I can't cope with. Yeah, it's beautiful! Lasting power isn't great though...

Bugger! I HATE when fragrances don't last. Almost as much as when I try one, don't like it, and nothing gets rid of it................ :shakehead:

It's always the way. I got a bottle of Armani Code which I absolutely cannot stand, and I tried it on and I swear that beast took two days to die! I tried like five different methods but nothing would wash it off. I call it my "Rasputin fragrance". Well, I did before I gave it away.

Oh yeah, 6 showers, a dozen industrial strength scrubs and it STILL lingers..................

You only just got it now?? That is very poor! But at least it is in your happy little hands at last!

I got some MaxMara, at priceline for 29.00. Very nice!

I finally got my Cartier Delices in the post today. OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE. Every time I saw one of Rosie's posts I would have a little pang that it had not arrived yet. The bottle is even better than I thought!

Not really sure what I think of the fragrance yet as I squirted it on over the top of MaxMara. However I would swear it has aldehydes in it. Quite woody initially, but again that might be my nose after wearing something else. I can't wait to wear it tomorrow!!

Oh, PLEASE report back when you have had a clear sniff, and given it a good workout! :glee:

This bottle is exquisite...it sort of looks like one of those old-fashioned boiled lollies.

In my lunch break I bought Stilla Creme Bouquet, after Pcc has raved so much about it. She's right, it's absolutely lovely. I got it for $40 for 50ml and it also came with a 50ml Vanilla body lotion. BARGAIN!

Oooh I'm jealous, I really want to give this one a sniff. And $40, wow!!! Where'd you pick it up, VeeE?

Cosmocosmetics. It's the best for Stila, you can pick EVERYTHING on the cheap.

i haven't noticed stila in there b4 :whistle::redcheeks: have to have a better look

Today Perfume Connection was having a 15% of sale, so after much deliberation between Chanel Chance and Coco Mademoiselle, I bought the Chance. This was very brave for me - it has *gasp* patchouli in it, and I'm not the biggest fan of the big P. Chance is heady, but I like it. Will give it a few more test runs and see how it goes.

Anyone else a fan of this one? Has probably been reviewed before, but would love to hear your thoughts...

They had one of those sales last week here.. and I would have bought the Chance eau Fraiche if they carried it which they do not. I have recently tested the fraiche, edt and edp. I am a fan of the big P.. but I like the fraiche best because it has a sparkling, brighter quality. Which did you buy?

Heady is right, but I think it's a good one to have for certain times. I find it kind of a take-me-seriously fragrance but it also has a comforting quality. Congratulations on your new Chanel!

It's my first Chanel! Rather shocking, no? I bought the EDP.

Not sure where to go to next with the Chanel, any reccs? I'm a long-time floral lover, first time warm/oriental buyer...

RBB it's gotta be Chanel Gardenia for you.

oo oo oo i lurve this one

I have not even heard of this! Where oh where have I been?? What does it contain/smell like VeeE? xo

It's really yummy. It has quite a bit of Vanilla in it. The 'creme' part of the name makes al lot of sense as it really does smell creamy.

Thanks VeeE; sounds delish.

If you are refering to Creme Bouquet, this is my favourite fragrance of all time. I have reviewed it many times back int he days when the forum just began. I love it and it only has three notes:

Pink Lilac, Lily of the Valley and Vanilla. It costs $115 for 50ml from Mecca Cosmetica. I have only ever seen it in a 50ml bottle and a little roller pen thingy.

It costs $115 from Mecca? Man! I didn't even realise what a bargain I was getting from Cosmocosmetics. I got mine for $40 PCC, and it came with a 50ml Vanilla Body lotion. Woo hoo! :glee:

Holy Crap, I just found that it comes in a solid perfume as well. I must have the solid!! Great buy VeeE now where it this place you got it from?

I think you have already told somebody this recently (sorry!) but is Cosmocosmetics an online store? Thanks!

I got it from Cosmocosmetics. I don't know if there's one in Hobart, but I know it's a chain as there's 2 that i know of. Maybe google it!

Not that I know of Sapphire! I know there is one in Hornsby and on in Chatswood (in Sydney). Sorry to be un-helpful!

Thanks VeeE; you are not unhelpful at all. Alas, in Perth we often miss out on things like this :(

want me to send u one ??

I think you have already told somebody this recently (sorry!) but is Cosmocosmetics an online store? Thanks!

I have already checked, no online store attached to their website and only retail outlets in Sydney!:tears:

They might do phone orders, you could call them.

Bought Burberry Summer today as a gift. This is a great fragrance, smells like lemon butter.

want me to send u one ??

Oh thank you fusspot; you're so lovely! But I am trying not to spend at the moment! If I still cannot resist temptation in a while I may have to give them a ring or bow to the higher prices in mecca.

I have already checked, no online store attached to their website and only retail outlets in Sydney!:tears:

Oh boo! Well if anyone wants me to go and pick them something up, I can send it to you! It's right near my work so there's no problem. Just PM me if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer VeeE xo

Today I bought Chance eau Fraiche! It is the only concentration of Chance I like though I have tried the edp and edt many times. The eau Fraiche is so sparkling and green with that great patchouli undertone. Very Chanel, the same Chanel base as in the Allures and Cristalle to my nose.

I went to buy this at Myer but after standing around at the Chanel counter waiting for someone to show up for 10 minutes I left. I had actually tried to buy it once before at the same counter and the Chanel person was not around and another SA came over to help but couldn't find the price anywhere (it occurs to me now that she could have just scanned it). Anyway I bought it in a chemist for 14.00 less because of a sale.. Chanel should should not leave its counter unattended so often! (And they complain that the testers are constantly stolen).

Very happy with it!

Well done, teacake. I hate having to wait like that too, but at least you got your new scent. Chemists are great for bargain perfumes. I like Priceline and Price Attack too.

Well, thanks to a certain sweet Adorable giving me the justification, I fell off the No More MMS Orders wagon................

An Evening In Paris
Dragon's Lair
Flight of the Butterfly
Sunset Heat
Sweet Cyanide
White Musk
Snake Pit

All Angel Mists. Oh dear!:whipcrack:

Actually, I didn't fall, I took a running jump............:glee:

I also bought MMU's.. 7 of them, lol.

Received in the post yesterday a BPAL order, the 2 LE Paris Hiltons (the were sold only during her time in prison) and 4 free imps.

Hahahaha, that is so funny! What do the Paris in Prison special occasion ones smell like?

The Privilge smells, weirdly, very rich as in money and glam. It's hard to describe but it immediately stands out as glamourous (unlike other BPAL's). The Pruno smells sour and icky. I haven't tested either on my skin though as I'm basically saving them for reselling in the (possibly dim) future or for swapping. I just like having them.

And let me add in the matter of BPAL that it is common for the smell you smell from the bottle to have little or no resemblance to how it smells on your skin. (Just to be fair to Pruno, lol)

Excuse my ignorance teacake... but what is BPAL?

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/

Woah! eye opener

The Pruno and Privilege were limited editions that only sold for as long as Paris was in prison. Some of the proceeds apparently went to a women's shelter in Los Angeles.

BPAL is really wonderful if you are into perfume oils, which I am not, but have found a lot of them I like.

Got Allure in the post today, bought from a forum. It's great!!

The first of my 3 orders from MMS has shipped!!! :penguin::glee::penguin::glee::penguin::glee:

My last fragrance I purchased was from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab as well (still waiting on it's arrival)
5mls of Elixir IX: TKO, Love and Pain, MME Moriarty Misfortune Teller,Theodosius The Legerdemain, Mr Ibis, The Emathides and I have some swaps from the forum coming too - decants of Antonino The Carny Talker, Aziraphale, Crowley, The Witch Queen, Yvaine and a bottle of Enraged Orangutan Musk.
Love BPAL, awesome stuff.

The red van came to my house today, and delivered the following Angel Mists:

Best Friend - LE, got a body custard int hsi for my sis, and adopted it. Now discontinued :tears:
Ghost - Phwoar! I :hearts: this
Lolita - a dupe of the Lempicka, which I love, but it doesn't last on me. This does. A staple
Neroli Di Orsini - a staple
Rosie Loves Vanilla - new to me, been on the list for a while
Silk Slip - as for Ghost
Calla Lily - love the flower, thought I'd try the scent. A bit worried as it has a 'green' note.

I am going to have a bit of a sniff today, then put it away for a week or so, to let the scents 'marry' properly.

I got two of Sohums new solid perfumes today. I got the Pink Champagne and the Limequat. They are gorgeous and only $19.95 each!

I got some BPAL the other day with some frimps, been playing with those! A very nice ebay seller treated the transaction like a swap and threw in 3 frimps and Tam Dao sample, very kind!!

Frimps= free imps. Gotta love the free samples :hearts: Although they have been known to lead to another order, just to get a fullsize.......... :no:

I'm hoping they *will* lead to another order, lol. There was one frimp on my "to try" list so that was cool as I might have ordered that imp. I am really more inclined to buy bottles though. I am saving up to order when the next LE comes out which I assume will be the full moon one.

Sounds lovely. What do they smell like, PCC?

It's really hard to describe what they smell like Sapphy, The Limequat one obviously has lime in it and kind of reminds me of Jo Malones french Lime blossom. I used it last night with Jo Malones French Lime Blossom lotion and it was gorgeous. Be warned these solids are very strong. I put it on last night around 8pm and could still clearly smell it when I woke up this morning. Get into a Myer and check them out if you can. For just $20 they are lots of fun! Thinking I might go back in today and get the Bourbon Vanilla one!

I've never used solid perfume. Do you rub it all over your arms?

I've never used solid perfume. Do you rub it all over your arms?

Teacake, you just rub a little into the pulse points on your wrists and anywhere else you would normally wear fragrance. I am a big fan of Commes Des Garcons Solid perfumes (available at Mecca) in the sherbert range. I have Rhubarb, Sorbet and Peppermint. These ones are $75 each. They last well on the skin.

I also have Britney Spears Fantasy in the solid as well as a number of Estee Lauder solid fragrances. These Sohum ones are a good size and I can't believe how long they last! Solids are also great for travel as you can actually take them on the plane with you.

As a perfume junkie you need to check out the solids for yourself. I think yu would be pleasantly surprised at how nice they are. I mainly like them because they are a bit different and not everyone has them.

I'll check out the Sohums next time I go to Myer, I remember they have that range there. I know Lauder has released them in collectible compacts for years. I'm just such a spray junkie.. it's taken me a while to get used to oils so getting even thicker into a solid is a leap!

I have phases myself. I am right into oils and solids at the moment but then I will swap beck to sprays. I seriously think I'm going to end up burning out my sense of smell. I have to carry coffee beans around with me to clear my smell most of the time.

:chuckle::chuckle: i nearly asked if u did that :whistle: as i remember u smelling heaps one time in particular

Sounds lovely. What do they smell like, PCC?

I rang Myers here Sapph and they weren't very helpful. They don't carry the Sohum solid perfume.:shakehead: Rang Karrinyup and City. Oh wellI suppose I can order from Myers in Melbourne. I would however like to "try before I buy" although PCC said they aren't that expensive.( $20 if i recall
PCC you are lucky to have such stock in good ole Hobart!!:penguin:

PerfumeAddict, are you from WA too? I find Perth Myer stores leave a lot to be desired compared to Melbourne, alas. But thank you for keeping me informed - so sweet!

The last one I got was BPAL's Parliament of Monsters and some imps.

At this point I feel there is nothing left in my suburban Myer or perfumeconnection I want. Even things that are nice I have stuff that is so similar, or perhaps better that there is no point buying it. I've been hanging out for the new summer Paris which has a violet note after using up a decant of it from overseas.. but when it comes out I may not end up with it. Sometimes when I live with the idea of getting something for too long I am somehow over the whole thing by the time I have the opportunity (and I guess I could have ordered it from OS by now..) Still it's sad that that's the only thing I'm excited about at this point!

Today I finally bought Narcisco Rodriguez For Her EDP. Divine. Want the EDT too.

Lovely. I've been wanting this one too. The bottle is simple but special as well. xo

I put the new Prada Amber bag hanging thingy (good expaination huh?) on Lay-Buy! I WANT IT NOW!!!!

I have a perfume order coming very soon. Some I haven't worn in a while, others I have never owned.
Roma- Laura Biagiotti, Vanderbilt( prob give it to my girls) Burberry Brit Red, Lolita Lempicka,Baby Doll,Diesel Plus Plus Feminine and Yvresse. My girlfriend and I order big and then we get a huge discount. I'm looking forward to box of goodies arriving.

Hobart Myer has come along in leaps and bounds over the past few months. It really is starting to get some pretty decent brands cosmetically speaking what with the recent launch of M.A.C etc Now all I have to do is start lobbying for Benefit and all will be super!

Cherry Blossoms
Seduction of the Foolish Lover

Lol RBB, how about a Top 50? :chuckle:

Seriously though, what I get with these is;

Bahama Vanilla - creamy vanilla, with light tropically fruit. Not a 'foody' sniff as such.

Temple of the Goddess - Black Raspberry & Vanilla - OH MY GOD!!!

ThaiPhoon - Lemongrass & coconut with a tiny hint of tiare - this is just heavenly!

Seduction of the Foolish Lover - Initial hit of apple, then a melange of cranberry, vanilla and a hint of wood moves in to underly the apple. This one gets a LOT of positive remarks.

Vanille Coco Folie - almost but not quite foody vanilla - nice and rich. Sexy as.

Aliens - Really hard to describe this one - it's unique and divine.

Ghost - lychees..................... *drool* Flowers - quite a 'light' scent.

Cherry Blossoms - light airy floral with a hint of something fresh.

Silk Slip - caramel, but not foody. Sexy.

Neroli di Orsini - Orange Blossom of the finest order.

Rosie Loves Vanilla - I wasn't sure of this initially, it smelt plasticky. But experience has shown that if you wait you will be rewarded. Gorgeous sweet vanilla and roses, with a hint of musk. This will get better with age.

Best Friend - light, sweet citrus. Not sharp at all. I smell oranges/mandarins and flowers.

My Boyfriend's Back - flowers and a sweetness that is TDF. Not sugary or foody. Just YUM!

Kiss of the Vampre - Bourbon Vanilla and sultry flowers - oh yeah baby! Sultry as. Very sensuous.

Calla Lily - green floral, but no aldehyde. Lovely

Flower Bomb - flowers and patchouli. Dead ringer to a sample of the original.

Lolita - another spot on dupe.

A Mermaid's Wish - Airy, sunshiney floral. A 'happy' scent, perfect for the warmer months

Velvet Vixen - Amber, vanilla and ? Foody but not like a cake - I do NOT want to smell like something people eat.

Pink Satin V-String - Can't describe this, makes my mouth water. But again, not a 'foody' scent.

Lime Coconut Verbena - Fresh, with a hint of something I can't place. Light, refreshing and lovely.

Tahitian Petals - tropical green and flowers - think Monoi.

Kulu bay - more tropics, but these are more Antipodean, and have hints of cranberry.

Santa's Pipe - pipe tobacco, honey and an old fashioned garden flower of some sort.

Wow, thank you - especially the feedback about these ones not being too foodie. I was a bit hesitant when I read some descriptions; but am very keen to some of the spicy vanilla/cinnamon/ginger ones. ThaiPhoon and Tahitian Petals sound divine as well.

And yeah, saw that Temple of the Goddess was one of their best sellers! Def going on the wishlist. Anything with raspberry in it gets my vote :chuckle:

I recently purchased ralph lauren cool I have wanted it for years but never splurged I always have loads of perfumes given to me as pressies so I dont really need to buy them, then I was at chemist warehouse and it was onsale for $25.00 so i snapped it up, I also got britney spears fantasy for a friend for $25.00 I purchased some makeup for her as it is her 21st on tuesday and she has no makeup so i have made up a makeup bag for her!

Nice haul Tahlie!!

I took delivery of my 3rd MMS order of Angel Mists today.......... :penguin:

Which did you get this time Rosie?

They have to brew for a bit yet, to get a clearer idea of what they truly smell like, so I am not going to list any notes, just in case they change. There is 1 that I think will go to Mum, as it is very sweet at the mo'.

I got:

Snake Pit - liking so far
Sunset Heat - fruity & nice
An Evening in Paris
Flight of the Butterfly
Sweet Cyanide - very sweet
Dragon's Lair - so far I like
White Musk - nice, light musk, got a sample aeons ago.

I recieved a large sample (in a true-to-life very cute little version of the bottle) of Narcisso Rodriguez from the lovely raspberry :) This one is definately warming on me. Animalistic but also feminine. xo

More details? Please???? :penguin:

More details? Please???? :penguin:

Is that question aimed at myself, lovely Rosie?

It is Miss Sapphire - what notes do you detect? :worship:

It is Miss Sapphire - what notes do you detect? :worship:

Well, I have not read of the actual notes anywhere so what I suggest may be right off the radar! However, I detect on the top note very strong patchouli notes - I don't really like Patchouli, it smells a bit icky to me so I was afraid when I first smelled that when I applied the NR for the first time! But this mellowed out a lot, to become something very musky, perhaps a touch of amber. I could almost describe it as a 'husky-voiced' smell, lol! I think this is where I get the 'animalistic' tones. The 'feminine' tones bring something a bit delicate to the fragrance, like a touch of powdery rose; something old-fashioned and unabashedly female. Perhaps another floral note too but I cannot pick it yet.

I'm not a patchouli fan either Sapph, so I was also surprised at how much I loved this. I feel it's a tamer (though still quite different) version of Agent Provocateur - one of my faves but sometimes hard to wear.

NR is very powdery and musky, but I also get a lot of floral in the drydown. I can really smell the rose in this. Lasts all day too. I like it more and more, and glad you do too!

It's officially described as being in the 'mossy woods' family: here are the notes -

"The EDP... features rose and peach, being more floral, with the accent on pink roses, than the original EDT. The EDP notes include pink chypre, pink floral, voluptuous woods, soft amber, sheer chypre, flower honey, tactile woods, amber light."

If you get to sniff the EDT, which I also love (a bit fresher), notes are - "Narciso Rodriguez EDT includes honey flower, solar musk, orange blossom, osmanthus, amberlyn, vanilla, tactile musk, tactile woods, vetiver."

Thank you so much! Of course, now I want this...................... but somehow I think it may have to wait, as I am still on a No Buy.

EAT: after reading what RBB has said, I would be avoiding the EDT - I have issues with vetiver :tears: Saves the budget I guess :no:

Interesting. I cannot smell the peach in the edp at all. But it does smell a bit honeyish, probably due to the amber.

Hiya Rasberry. I noticed your likening of spicy/vanilla/cinnamon/ ginger perfumes. Have you tried Organza Indecence by Givenchy? It has all that you might like,( it doesn't contain ginger by memory) although it is now discontinued, I am trying to get a a dupe made but unfortunately no takers.I find it to be smooth and :waving:sexy with a soft spicy,vanillary drydown.

Sounds like something I would love, thanks PA! Will do a bit of research. Wonder if perfumeconnection would scout it down?

I'm pretty sure they can find basically anything for you, RBB!

Have you used PerfumeConnection to chase you one down Oz? I have always wondered if it works out more expensive than ordering overseas myself. Again not knowing if they are reputable( O/S suppliers) I suppose you take chances sometimes.It is probably better dealing with an Australian Company.

Someone is selling it on aus ebay!!

I think it is discontinued now, this is the only time I've ever seen it on the aus site. And no this is not me selling it or anyone I know, lol.

Is it anything like the original Organza? I cannot bear that one which is the one thing that has kept me from hunting down the Indecence which I always hear fab things about. I would be sooooooooo tempted to buy this unsniffed but I am trying to be good.

Estee Lauder Emerald Dream I exchanged my full sized origins products for this perfume, a travel exclusive this season, a fresh fragrance lovely and vibrant. Gorgeous bottle too!, looks great on my bedroom drawer set.

I love sandalwood too, Alice. Especially if mixed with a warm floral scent. Very alluring...

OOO. What is Juicy like???

And what is Be Delicious Picnic in the Park like??? I have the original but not a huge fan.

And has anyone seen/smelled/bought L by Gwen Stefani yet?? I saw the ads in the most recent Cosmo so it should be out now or coming out very soon!

Sounds wonderfully indulgent, PCC. Your stay in hospital was ok? xo

Hi Kitty,
Juicy is very sweet. Anyone who is not seriously into sweet scents probably wont like this one. I on the other hand love it's sweetness. It's notes include:

Watermelon, mandarin, pink passionfruit, marigold, green apple, water hyacinth, crushed leaves, tuberose absolute, wild rose, princess lily, caramel creme brulee, vanilla, precious woods and patchouli.

I also think the bottle is gorgeous!!

Picnic In The Park is similar to the Be Delicious but perhaps a tad sweeter. It's bottle is also completely different.

L by Gwen Steffani is arriving in the next few days at The Perfume Connection.

I just picked up my Prada EDP f that I;'ve had on lay by for aaages. WEEEEEEE!

Oh I love it VeeE!

Oh yesssss! isn't it just gorgeous ladies!:waving: Has anybody tried the Prada tendre??

PCC any idea on when the Be Delicious Night (that I posted about in Fragrance Talk) comes out? The impregnated swatch was to die for!

Today I bought a bottle of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Revitalize. I am sooo supposed to be on a money diet but I haven't bought a fragrance in forever, and it was exactly what i wanted for one of my new summer fragrances!! It's very citrusy, zesty and tart, and almost unisex. Quite cologne-like. I decided to buy it because last night I found a set of these huge tubes of EA Green Tea scrub and body wash in one of my bathroom drawers! And hey, they needed to be matched with something, right??

I want to buy Chopard Pink Wish Diamond.

(Just thought I'd randomly mention that...:rollthoseeyes:)

I got my Gucci Eau de Parfum II on the weekend. Yay!

I ordered a 75ml bottle, but they didn't have any so they gave me 2 x 50ml bottles for the same price... $77. Woohoo. I love it.

Wow you sure got some stock there Kitten! Is My Insolence different to the plain "Insolence?"


Tonight whilst at the pharmacy waiting for my daughter's prescription I rumaged through a bargain bin. Anyway I came across a reduced bottle of Sand and Sable. I am quite shocked - for a Coty brand it is actually quite delightful!!
If you like Fracas ,gardenia and tuberose fragrances you might want to give this a try!;)

Wonder if this will work for me?

Today I bought Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey Summer (I know - bIG departure from my original Issey hehe)

with summer weather suddenly arriving and realising i don't really have any summery fragrances at the moment - i bought Kenzo Amour today in the pink bottle. i can't believe i have never tried this before!

I got Chopards Turquoise Diamond Last. I really like it as it's fresh but with a subtle sweetner and not watery fresh if that makes sense.

I just bought Gucci Envy at Priceline for $29. I had not smelled it before so bought it blind because it was such a bargain! It is a lovely, quite interesting scent but not sure if it is me, as it is very green and wet. I like warmer scents. Mellows out quite nicely too though does not seem to last too long on my skin.

I bought D&G Sicily EDP for $30 last week, I put it away for my Mum for Christmas. They had the matching lotion for $10 and I didn't get it as my Mum doesn't tend to be into layering, but I'm wondering if I ought to get it anyway??

Yes! So cheap must buy! :chuckle:
