Today I bought: December 2012 - Page 2

post #61 of 295
12/5/12 at 5:33pm
Been away for a quite a while... Enjoying what scents I have in my wardrobe and painfully resisting buying anymore.

To break the 6 or 7 month haitus, I bought Divine L'homme Sage



I received a sample of L'homme Infini... which may just be my next purchase!! It's fantastic



EDIT: I've also returned to find I can't work out uploading images to posts!!!

I have been a bit naughty in this month that should focused on gifts to others, I have gifted myself a few things. Seeing it listed out as far as what has been purchased in the past week or so makes me realize that I am done for the year!

Aramis Gentleman

Ordered....Micaleff 'Yellow Sea' and samples of 'Encre Noir', 'Ambre 114' and 'Seville a l'Aube'.....BUT...

going to Edinburgh for two days on Monday so will probably be tempted there too!!! All I have locally is a branch of Boots so I will probably go nuts in all those department stores AND there's a branch of Penhaligons too!

Went to Bergner's to buy Christmas plates for my mom for Christmas. Clever bastards had the fragrance section on the way there. After sampling for a good 30-45 minutes, I finally settled with:

What fragrance IS that? I love Opus lV & Jubilation XXV. I would really like something similar.

Bought a decant of Incense Rose (original bottle!) and a full bottle of Incense Extreme. Can't wait until they comes in the mail.
