Oooh you smell nice!

Watching Frag Mental review of the H24

Hi scent people. I couldn’t offer anything on this thread when you started it and was pretty surprised by the level of knowledge and the depth to this topic. All v interesting.

And today I saw this: record label Let’s Play House have launched their own versions. Nightclub and Dayclub.

One has base notes of Magic Mushrooms!

This may be a joke. I’m not fully awake yet. But it looks like it’s the start of something big in the spin off product world. We need a TP Forum version so we can identify each other in dark nightclubs!

I’m a complete novice on acqa di parma but i’m interested in this one


Have any of you good fellows tried this particular one and if so what do you think of it?
Thanks!

Actually, it was Bodyshop Fuzzy Peach Emma wore! I just remembered.

Father’s day here tomorrow hope my kids are reading this thread… :weary:

Just landed. Kick of juniper and smells like a GnT in the best way—surprisingly retro for Chanel.

In a neat bit of synchrony came upon this cool piece in the LRB on the common origins of Chanel 5 and the ur-Soviet perfume Red Moscow:

I’ve literally never worn a fragrance in my life, but I had a sniff of this at the weekend and I think I love it

Is all the good stuff similarly eye-wateringly priced?

Soleil Brulant is a beaut.

Yeah sadly 50ml is around £240 retail.

You can usually get better deals online at places like allbeauty, notino, fragrance shop or even house of fraser. Some offer 20% discount at certain times of the year.

Erm and relatedly (or maybe not) I’ve become a bit obsessed with making the house smell nice, especially after being locked down for 18 months with a dog, a cat, four sons and sniff possibly some kind of damp problem somewhere.

Got one of those room infusers but can’t really find a scent I like.

Any tips?

Haeckels do some really nice ones too.

reveiws on fragrance sites like fragratica are always next-level abstract :smiley: for once a comments section worth reading

Just bought a bottle of this from Essential Parfums.

I’ve seen it described as a “futuristic woody space apple with just enough vetiver to keep it grounded”. Can’t argue with that tbf.

It smells pretty darn amazing.

Bought anything lately that has literally blown you away?

My wife bought me Creed Aventus for xmas. Its been around forever, but I’d never had it before or even had a sniff, and I absolutely love it. Stays all day and is just lovely. Price is a bit sharp but I’ll buy again 100%

Far too many to mention but currently loving Ganja by Comme Des Garcons. Other than that Terre D’Hermes, Hermes Orange Verte, CDG Wonderwood or CDG Black Pepper.

Splurged on an xmas gift for my wife & me - found a new bottle on Ebay at significant markdown from retail. Unisex enough so we both can wear it. Sumptuous stuff, a sort of apple-oud-rose accord that reminds me of shisha smoke in a way. Gorgeous.
