We start the week with Fibonacci Day (also Espresso Day, and Harpo Marx’s birthday). What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m suffering from decision paralysis this morning, and so I’m going to pick something from what you all are wearing.
Reminder: on 11/27, pick your Black Friday poison…
Just last year, Gucci – along with a number of other well-known luxury perfume makers – scored a similar victory after using the same technique against Spanish company Equivalenza. The ironically named outfit, which was peddling rip-off scents, was found guilty on all three counts; illegal copying of original perfume, unfair competition and business reputation abuse.

Our same old open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’re thinking you’ll wear on Thanksgiving, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Oops! I am ashamed to admit that we have not done a follow up poll since 2017. If you participated in any of our swapmeets (episodes 11 – 17) or splitmeets (episodes 8 – 14) or freebiemeets (episodes 8 – 17) since then, how did it go? (And by the way, there is a regular weekend poll coming up shortly.)
Feel free to thank your partner(s), make any suggestions for improving the way we run these events, or just tell us about a fabulous fragrance you discovered via the efforts of your fellow readers.
You are also encouraged to let us know — without naming names please! — if things went wrong. It is helpful for other readers to know what sorts of issues they might encounter when swapping or splitting…
Aha, it's been awhile but here is a new toothpaste lemming. From Boka, Coco Ginger: "Coco Ginger has a subtle coconut flavor paired with spicy ginger with notes of chamomile flower. Like Ela Mint paste, this is an extension of the first natural paste powered by modern science. It trades fluoride for nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), an evolution in dentistry that’s been a gold standard in Japan for over 40 years. n-Ha makes up the primary foundation of teeth and bones, meaning it’s naturally restorative and helpful in reducing sensitivity. Plus, it’s 100% biocompatible and non-toxic. The flavor is unlike any toothpaste ever created." $12 at Beautyhabit.
