Saturday is the last day of the Year of the Tiger, Sunday is the first day of the Year of the (Yin) Water Rabbit.*
We’re welcoming the new year with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that will encourage a calmer, more peaceful year,** whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

It’s Friday and the International Day of Acceptance. RIP David Crosby. And happy 77th to David Lynch! Our community project for today: Pick a favorite Lynch work or character and wear a scent to match, or pick a theme (split roles? doppelgangers? surrealism?) and work with that for your fragrance choice. If you don’t know (or care about) his work, you could just wear something a little weird or off-kilter.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
