Oscar De La Renta Pour Lui by Oscar de la Renta, 1981

I don't like this one. There is a bottle of this stuff in my cologne cabinet for something, like, 12 or 14 years. It comes on too strong. It's supposed to be leathery but it's spicy blast of...

Chocolate Greedy takes you inside a bakeshop - a chocolate-mocha cake in your one hand, and a sponge cake in the other, then you sit by the trays of chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting. The...

This begins as a strong "dirty" blast of sweaty musk (giving Muscs de Koublai Khan a run for its money). It calms down to a powdery musk after 15 minutes. Slowly a delicate rose note...

A real classy one. Matches well with the foreverness of summer in the tropics. Love the dry down. Stays long in ur skin. Love this Juize.

Onto the fragrance. I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain a sample of this through a generous BN'er. In my quest to find a cheap alternative to Philosykos, This one was not what I was...

Evening all

I have just found the site and am already hooked

Perfume and candles are my favourite things !

I love Partylite candles espcially the strawberry rhubarb and the relax unwind one. I also love the betty crocker strawberry shortcake which I can currently buy for 99p !! Had a minor hick up last year with hubby and my partylite stash, as I have never told him how expensive they are so when I went into hospital for a week I came home to find he had burnt my entire stash of gorgeous candles !!! am building my collection up again slowly lol

I burn Body shop mint cream home fragrance oil in my burners all day every day and spent £300 stocking up on it last year when I found 300 bottles of it after it had been discontinued

I look forward to chatting to you all

Greetings betwitched Sharon- welcome to Basenotes. You sound perfect for this forum- obsessed with fragrance of any kind.
I love the story about your husband burning up your candle stash. At least he probably couldn't do the same thing with your perfume stash, eh?

See you around- burn those candles in good health!
