Lazy weekend poll ~ the twitter review, Fall 2017

Posted by Robin on 14 October 2017 227 Comments

We’ve done the 6 word review, now let’s try a (traditional) twitter review. Pick a favorite fall fragrance, and write a review that doesn’t go past 120 characters. (You can use charactercount if it helps!)

Or, as always, just talk about something else…

The splitmeet (episode 8) is open for business. PLEASE read the instructions! For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, splitting, there will be a poll along shortly.

Don’t know what a bottle split is, or you know but you’ve never tried it? See here.

Please note that the intention of the splitmeet is to split newly purchased bottles of perfume, not to sell decants of fragrances already in your collection…

Tauer Data Miner soap

New black (activated charcoal) soaps from Tauer Perfumes: Data Miner ("Inspired by Renaissance Florence, Data Miner is the most elegantly scented soap, showcasing fresh lemons, Florentine leather and iris rhizomes drying in the sun. ") and Solar Engineer ("The Solar Engineer blinks into the sun, surrounded by majestic giant woods. Deeply invigorating with herbaceous nootka tree, lavender, and rosemary, the robust scent is completed with warm, dry spices and woods.") I'll take one of each, please. $15 for 100g at Luckyscent.

Scented advent calendars 2017, part 1

Posted by Robin on 13 October 2017 9 Comments

With the usual apologies for holiday creep, I’m starting our yearly roundup of advent calendars now, since they tend to launch early and then sell out quickly. If you want one, buy it soon. Part 2 will be coming up later this month. (Please note that some of these calendars are not available in the US. Advent calendars are more popular in the UK than in the US).

Diptyque’s 2017 Advent is out at Selfridges: “Make this year’s countdown to Christmas the most special yet with the anticipated Advent Calendar from Diptyque. Housing 25 little treasures to discover before the big day, it brings together the label’s beloved products in a unique discovery format. Look forward to a selection of cute miniatures including 10ml Vinaigre de Toilette, deluxe 15ml skin and body care, mini-candles in 35g format and a 70g candle make every day a celebration.” £300. (Most years, this ends up in the US as well but sells out fast…)
