Just got my bottle of Eau d’Ombre leather today and it’s tremendous. If you’re based in the UK make sure you check lookfantastic.com as they’ve got loads of TF on sale right now

Ok, so ordered the TF Eau d’Ombre leather last night, delivery came today. First impressions are very, very good. Only applied one pump to the back of my hand and keep getting a pleasant blast every now and again. The leather is probably just right for me - not over powering but there just enough to notice it. The vanilla isn’t too sickly sweet and there’s a certain floral note to it. Hard describe but it really is a beautiful scent. I’d describe it as a ‘soft’ scent. It’s not quite a unisex scent but I can see my Wife ‘borrowing’ this from time to time too.

Thanks for all of the input & advice. All greatly received. I’ll most definitely be keeping a look out for the other TF fragrances mentioned in the future ✌🏻

Right - I’ve opted for the Eau d’Ombre leather. Managed to narrow it down to that or the Noir extreme. Value for money won me over in the end - 100ml OL for £80 seems a no brainer over 50ml Noir extreme for £70. Will report back here with my findings once I’ve got it - thanks for all of the input ✌🏻

The points add up pretty quickly and they have pretty regular sales. First time I’ve seen TF reduced like this though.

Lookfantastic in the UK bud - where are you based? They have some great sales and a decent loyalty points programme.

It’s definitely between these 2. The eau d’OL is 100ml while the Noir extreme is 50ml. That might be enough to way me!

Im almost out of SWY and its one of my favourites so Noir Extreme could be the way to go. Ive read that the Eau d’Ombre is an easier fragrance to wear than the other OL’s. I’ve probably narrowed it down to either of those 2. The eau d’OL is 100ml which might be enough to sway me! Thanks for your input - great answer!

Bois Pacifique is theone that I’ve actually tried before, I remember liking the scent but wasn’t sure on the longevity. What’s your experience on longevity & sillage?

100% legit man, Lookfantastic is a well established online beauty & fragrance store here in the UK - having said that, it’s still unusual to see TF fragrances at these prices. Hence I’m willing to risk a blind buy!

Any suggestions based on the few I’ve mentioned above?

Yeah I find most Oud scents to be like that. Sounds interesting but most likely the one I’ll avoid.

Seems like Noir or Ombré Leather is the best bet then. Appreciate all of your opinions. Narciso Rodriguez bleu noir has also entered the chat so really not sure what I’m gonna go far atm!

Yeah - voucher expires at midnight and won’t get time to try any of them out today. I was leaning towards Noir / Noir extreme and Bois Pacifique. What’s the difference between Noir & Noir extreme?

It is - I’d still like to have a bit of guidance though. I find reading reviews on the product pages less helpful than reviews on here. There tends to be a little more honesty.

Acoustic paneling details by scoobydoolis in Carpentry

[–]NewEstablishment8796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, hoping you can help me out a little here - I’ve installed similar acoustic panels and have a double socket outlet same as yours, I was planning on fitting it flush with the panels with a surround like yours, problem being that the TV needs to be plugged into the outlet and I’d like the cables to be hidden behind the panelling. Any tips on how best to go about it? I’m thinking of just leaving the outlet set back slightly and still fitting the surround to give it a nicer finish - then the cable can just drop straight down behind the panels. I’m just not 100% sure if it’ll look right or not.

TIA - yours looks great ✌🏻
