I like Shay & Blue but I think it is getting a bit over priced and I can't justify spending that amount of money on a smelly liquid in a tiny bottle that would last about a week if I used it sparingly.

We all seem to like different S&B perfumes on here so don’t be guided by this but for me, the Clementine and Sicilian Limes are fresh and nice, the Oud Alif and Black’s Club Leather are a bit too spicy/masculine (although I do wear them) and the Black Tulip and Cotton Flower I would have to bung on eBay. I find the latter completely unremarkable and I think Black Tulip is the one with which I get a strong whiff of clove at the back of my nose, which I dislike. I am still
I agree at full price, it’s not cheap, especially the 10ml bottle at £25, but if I can get that size for around £8-£9, which is not unusual, I think it’s pretty good. And the 10ml bottles definitely last a lot longer than a week.

I got an email from Shay & Blue this morning. Asking if I needed help? Explaining, I could talk to them, and they will give suggestions for perfumes from their range I might like.
I have turned into a bargain hunter these days for perfume. TKMaxx I got a 100mls of Boucheron for women £27 red label clearance price. I had an idea I had tried it years ago, and it was nice, but not nice enough to buy at RRP. It is really lovely, and I use it quite a bit. I love Boucheron Jaipur Homme and got it in TKMaxx.

I got a 10ml bottle of Amber Rose in a charity shop for £3, I used it for seven days and the bottle was empty, and that was only spraying on pulse points, not spraying it in a mist all over me like the models on QVC.

I’m only interested in the 10ml Black Tulip for holiday hand luggage so I looked on EBay and was fairly surprised at the prices people were asking considering it would have been the part of a set they didn’t want.
It could be that I don’t use enough then, and would explain why I have perfumes hanging around for so long! Weaker ones I spray several times per use and do get through more quickly than S&B ones which I mostly find quite long-lasting on me so I don’t use so much at a time. I know for a fact I have used one particular 10ml bottle of S&B on at least 3 occasions and it looks like only about 10% has gone, if that.
Thinking about it now, 10ml is only 2 teaspoons. It looks like more in the bottle to me. Weird. Or I am.
You’ll be back looking at S&B in a few hours. I don’t know why you’re even saying this.I may have to Nanny McFee this as I bought something in the Osprey sale yesterday,.

Everytime I visit Turkey I buy from this shop in the photos below. The perfumes, candles, reed diffusers are all copies of well known brands but they are really really good copies. Unlike the street vendors who sell Chinese copies in branded packaging and try to tell you they`re the real thing, these are sold as copies but are great quality.
He`s recently begun doing mail order. Myself and Mr V bought several between us and got loads of free samples too. When I run out then I`ll order more and until this year he didn`t do mail order.

How very dare you?!
Actually I have just braved the heat here to go to a protest organised by my MP to save the 14 bus route, so maybe I deserve a little reward for my participation in local democracy.
Oh, absolutely! I reward myself for FAR less!How very dare you?!

Where I live in N. Italy, many people gather tender, new dandeline leaves for a salad. It tastes bitter. Not my thing. In UK, as children, we used to say that if you picked a dandeline, you'd wet the bed. And white figs are delicious served with smoked ham but I don't think that fig would suit as a perfume. Shay and Blue seem bent on combining weird-sounding components in their perfumes. Helps them sell their products to the adventurous, I suppose
I can tell you are full of admirationYes, we know you do
But seriously, are you interested in the TSV, MrM? I can’t remember if you are a massive fan of the brand but I think you like some of the fragrances?

I’ve actually never tried S & B Andi, although I did buy a discovery set last week on Amazon Prime Day for my mum’s birthday next week.
It was a set of three 10ml bottles (White Peaches, Blood Orange & Watermelon) and it was only £15.00.
I was going to post about it on this thread to be honest but it sold out pretty much as soon as I placed my order so I didn’t bother in the end.
That was a good offer you got. Unusually, I didn’t buy anything on Prime Day(s) this year. I had the impression they weren’t pushing it as much as usual. I am sure I only had emails about Alexa and other Amazon products and I didn’t really look on the site. I am sorry now! That’ll teach me!
I wasn’t actively looking either to be honest, I just happened to check my emails and there was one from S & B advertising a couple of offers they had and this one seemed the best value. After placing my original order I went back 30 seconds later to buy another but it had already sold out so I was very lucky to get the one that I did really.
Oh, and it came direct from S & B too, not Amazon.
