    I also got MDB, it's a bit too floral for me. Still a lovely freebie though :)

    Thank you Meadows,
    I will try it as I know the dry down might be nicer.
    I'm thinking back some 30 years ago when I lived and worked in London, Hermès was very much en vogue (scarves and stirrup handbags) and very aspirational. Here I am sat with a freebie bottle of their scent... Can't be bad!
    I've also just noticed it's a screw top atomiser... Off to look for a nice atomiser to decant some for Mum. If you are sure of your family/friends and aren't struck by your perfume decanting into a nice bottle may be a gift option?

    Shame but give it a few g oes as it might grow on you, three years ago I got Thierry Mugler Angel and last year Dior J'adore.


    The TM I thought okay not me but give it a go, the DJ I thought too not me, but now quite like it, this year I got Cerruti 1881 Bella Notte of Cerruti (confirmed by them from email today) now this I find too flowery and not at all me on first spay, I can smell none of the notes it is meant to have (a faint whiff off vanilla after a few hours then gone and settling to a very light less floral perfume after many hours), however I will try a few more times and see how I feel, if not for me then my daughter might like it or be able to pass it on if not.

    2020 Wins:
  • I got EMH. I really love it. I got an e-mail this morning saying a parcel was with DPD and I just couldn't think what it was. So it was a lovely surprise!

    The scent is lovely. Quite powerful at first, but I did spray it twice on myself. Once is more than enough.

    My husband came near me later and said ''Oh you smell amazing, what are you wearing!?''
    My Wins: £150 Next giftcard. Rimmel Lip Gloss, Benefit Lipstick and lipgloss. Rimmel Day2Night mascara. Elizabeth Arden Body Treatment Cream. Big Bang Theory T-shirt, Make Up Set, St Tropez Kit, Clipper Mug Tea Set, Rosie Project Book, Kwik Fit MOT. Benefit Make Up Set Dior Star Foundation.

  • Wow! not the parcel I was expecting. I thought the delivery was some sewing items I had ordered.

    100ML bottle of BBR Eau de toilette. = Burberry Brit Red.
    The scent is red rose, oriental and floral.

    Are you certain?

    I too got BBR and emailed to ask what it is?

    The email states
