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 stillPlease Identify & explain........(GCSE themed question)
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 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.
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.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.

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.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.
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, .
How very dare you?!You’ll be back looking at S&B in a few hours. I don’t know why you’re even saying this.
Oh, absolutely! I reward myself for FAR less!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.

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 supposeIt is the name Dandelion name, real ones don't have a smell, but the stalk has a bitter smell. Also, I have never had the urge to smell of fig! I will eat them, though.

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?
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!
