#KhairPeachDelulu First hit is a pungent peach which dries down to a caramel sweetness. It's very nice but I don't think I'd wear it, I can imagine it would end up being very cloying & too much.

#KhamrahQahwa I HATED this. I got it because apparently it has #coffee in it. Couldn't smell anything apart from a very harsh note I didn't recognise & the alcohol didn't fade quickly as normal. Ended up having to scrub my arm and douse it in #RoseDeNuit. It's a shame because the bottle is lovely

Original #Eclaire. I kind of like this, vanilla, spicy, with a slight hint of caramel. Sweet but not too sweet. First one of the bunch that will be put on the "to buy" list.

#VanillaFreak this has made me realise I don't like cake/biscuit/cookie perfumes. Smells to much like what it's supposed to lol. The full size bottle is cute as hell though

#VanillaAura - too woody and spicy. Smells lovely, just not for me.

The next one is #ParisCorner #PistachioKhair. It's nice enough, can't smell *any* pistachio. It's very strong, quite nice, but it reminds me too much of my grandmother and it's bugging me which 70s/80s perfume it's reminding me of.

I'm trying 2 on a day, one on each arm. First up is #Lattafa #EclairePistachio. I love the full size bottle, very 70s. However the smell is like musty nuts. It's a definite no. It's not entirely unpleasant like #Petra was, but not something I'd like to be smelling during the day

I see Amazon is tapping into the 70s/80s nostalgic thing and bringing back "circle what you want in the catalogue".

Making a massive pot of madras for lunch tomorrow and the whole of downstairs smells heavenly and I have to keep reminding myself it's for tomorrow and not tonight.

After the disaster of the book arriving yesterday with the cover totally ripped and hanging on for dear life, the replacement copy has just arrived. Can't wait to finally read it in it's purest form - a physical book! #HellsBells #ForWhomTheBelleTolls

Had a bad morning so got taken out for a caramel latte (via B&Q). Can't beat a sugary coffee and casual abuse directed at Elon Musk, to cheer yourself up

I love that after 14 years together, @fourq.bsky.social still has the capacity to surprise me. Along with a case of 12 cans of Monster Ultra Violet (it's like the early 80s in a can and very difficult to get hold of), he bought me a bottle of uranium glass!!
