Hey Hey Posse, Woo Hoo! First month of Decant Demolition 2025 and we have lift off. 32ml of decants emptied! Now it’s up to you to comment your way into a chance at a US$50 Surrender To Chance Gift Voucher
Decant Demolition 2025 January
My Challenge
For Decant Demolition 2025 I’ll be trying to drain 30ml of juice every month. In any configuration from 15 x 2ml to a 30ml decant of decanted perfume into a spray receptacle 2ml or more. They must also be finished by ME! No giving stuff away. Although Random Acts Of Kindness are encouraged they do not count for my DD2025.
Your Challenge
Play along. Use up some decants/samples/bottles. Pass those unloved extras on to others or leave them in your workplace bathroom for people to take.
Also, in the interest of driving fragrant discussion and your own thunking there must be 40 comments that are not mine. Yes, you read it correctly. 40 comments, and not lazy, spammy bumps like an OK or Got It. It must be a pertinent comment to the Decant Demolition 2025 discussion at hand. You can answer someone else’s comment. Ask them a question about their comment. Add your own thunks, thoughts on my thunks. Tell us a story about something fragrant that links with previous comments or the post. The secondary (but most important) goal of Decant Demolition 2025 is to reanimate perfumista conversation and engagement.
Should I make 30ml and there be 40 comments that comply. I will give away a US$50 Surrender To Chance Gift Voucher each month.
I hope you’re as excited about Decant Demolition 2025 as I am.
January Empties
Fleurs de Glace by Olympic Orchids 5ml
Cannot tell you how much I’ve been loving this weird assed green thing. Right to the dregs, and now wishing I’d bought 200ml of it. Fleurs de Glace is an unsung masterpiece and I wish it was still available so you could all try it. Icy cold floral crystal shards undercut by a non bakery vanilla. Exquisite.
La Fumee Ottoman by Miller Harris 8m
Thank everything I found a bottle of this now discontinued beauty online. La Fumee Ottoman is an amber incense fragrance with loads of bells and whistles. “(An) explosive opening quickly morphs into a lovely sweaty patchouli and here I smell hints of roses. Kind of like potpourri. Dry, dusty rose petals and I also smell anise seed pods. WOW!”
Musc by Mona di Orio 5ml
Another gone forever beauty. Musc has grown on me so much while wearing this decant. Its scent has become more nuanced and textural as I’ve worn it more often. I feel beautiful while being bathed in its loveliness and kick myself for selling on my bottle. GRRR! This was a fabulous Decant Demolition refind.
Paris: Roses de Bois by Yves Saint Laurent 5ml
With the signature Paris violet, rose, lily and iris base and a very few bells and whistles added Roses de Bois takes me back to my Mum wearing it for a while. She really was a breath of fresh air in it and I loved to cuddle in close and breathe her in.
Vaara by Penhaligon’s 10ml
I remember getting this decant and spritzing it a couple of times. A softly honeyed floral bouquet and I was all YAWN! Well, rediscovering it I was using it to scent my Christmas Cards and it was suddenly more than I remembered. Still not really my style but very nicely put together and pretty.
OK! Over to you crew. What did you wear? Did you thunk? Have you loved what someone else has worn, or hated it?
Let’s chat about our January Decant Demolition 2025.
Portia xx
The only decant that I managed to thunk was that last little bit of my Patou Joy extrait. It’s a beautiful rose jasmine thing that is incredibly slutty. My mother took and emptied the 3ml decant of En Passant. She really likes the concept of En Passant but not enough to spend $85 on a travel spray. Let’s hope I can actually do better in February. Because I bought a Discovery set from Luckyscent.
I’ve bought many discovery sets from Luckyscent! I think my favorite has been the one from Francesca Bianchi. Which one did you get?
