This is the first time I've used Arlington. When I ordered it, I was expecting citrus in the scent, and I got it. There's also a pronounced fougère present, and I don't normally go in for fougères. This is a very green one, however, so I may yet come to like it. I'm going to give it a few weeks to see how I feel about it. If it doesn't work out, I'll send it on one way or another. At least there's never any doubt about the base, which is superb.

I am L-O-V-I-N-G the Overlander. For me it seems like the perfect balance of efficiency and smoothness. It’s so good it’s almost boring because it’s so easy.

Troycraft - PlatyPig

Big thanks to @TroyTools for the patypig what a gorgeous brush the photo does not do it justice. Colours in that handle are amazing and thanks also to @Mark1966 who designed the platypig with Troy and donated to the auction along with the Timmerman Red Label which is a very delightful scent of rum, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, woody and some powdery notes. that I am glad to say I do not have a dupe in the den (y) (y)
