The Perfume Challenge

Do you have a box full of perfume vials and/or a vanity covered in perfume bottles? Are you the Goldilocks of perfume, just looking for the perfect signature scent? Do you want an opportunity to post daily about how your perfume of the day smells oaky and smoky with hints of blackberry and currant, like a cigar in a whisky barrel rolling through a Mediterranean orchard on a breezy summer morning?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above, or you just want to hop on board for the ride, join us for a 31 days of perfume challenge starting January 1st! Some of us from the 25 days of lipstick challenge wanted to continue the fun and exploration, and since many of us have so many perfume samples, we thought this challenge would be perfect. If you don't have 31 perfumes or hate everything that doesn't smell like Meyer lemons and fresh goat cream, that's fine--we're just aiming to use the neglected perfumes we have laying around and incorporate them into our perfume rotations.

 

And if you want more perfume vials, there's no better time than now to take a peek at Sephora's samples section.

 

Edit: Anyone can join in at anytime! We're here to support, live vicariously through, and encourage everyone in their olfactory adventures!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Bahahaha, you saw an opportunity and went for it! 😂😂😂

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Days 20-22: Vicks Vaporub 😞

 

I caught the type A flu so I am miserable, but looking forward to being well enough to continue my perfume quest soon.  

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Hope you feel better! 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Thanks @Alicehoopz !

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

It's that time of year... Everyone's fighting something!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Oh, no! Feel better soon!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Hopefully @txcatx by tomorrow I'll be functional again.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Nooooo!!! That sucks! If you can get someone to buy you some Sambucol liquid, it's like magic at shortening the flu. It's black elderberry syrup. 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Thanks for the recommendation @Beadshopgirl !

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Day 22: Nothing today.

 

I had every intention to head to the mall today (I need a new charger for my laptop, that thing is real dead), but as soon as I got up and started eating breakfast, I started to feel like garbage and have been napping on and off all day 🤢 Methinks I have a sinus infection, because I want to rip my face off. I could sort of feel it coming on, but I have sinuses issues already so I didn't think much of it. Now I'm begging for some antibiotics 😩

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Feel better soon!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

@txcatx Thanks! Hopefully I'll be good to go tomorrow. I had quite a few things I needed to get done today and wasn't able to do any of it, ugh. 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I hope you feel better soon, sinus trouble is the worst. 😞

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

@angel7594 Thanks! I get sinus infections once or twice a year, so while I'm used to it, I'm never fully prepared to deal with them. I've been diffusing lemon and eucalyptus oil trying to clear everything out, ugh.  

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I do the exact same thing w lemon+eucalyptus! Hope you niip that infection in the bud!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

@pocketvenus EO's are the best, aren't they?? I love them.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Oh yes, I ❤️ my diffuser!!

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Day 22: Bvlgari Omnia Cristalline. This smelled nice on paper, so I decided to give it a go.  It's pretty nondescript on me, and definitely turned sour within a short period of time. 

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

Day 22: Elizabeth and James Nirvana Bourbon. This is the only Elizabeth and James perfume that I actually like. It makes me want to drink Irish coffee and read a pretentious book. 

 

Notes:
Vanilla Bourbon. Oakwood. Tuberose.

Re: 31 Days of Perfume Challenge

I want to try this one.
