Welcome to the weekend and our standard-issue open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’re hoping to find in the splitmeet next weekend, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
From L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Voyage à Constantinople candle: "Turkish delight, a bustling spice market, ginger, cedar and leather. Handcrafted in Grasse with the finest raw materials, this scented candle sets a new tone in the home with an intimate diffusion of scent"; currently on markdown, $60 for 250g at L'Artisan in the US.
Monique Jonas of Jona Dance Company, for Miller Harris Holiday 2024. Then below the jump, perfumer Emilie Bouge talks about Mìneir and perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner talks about Staccato. (The latter two videos are about 10-12 minutes each.)
Happy Friday and happy International Artist Day, aka Pablo Picasso’s birthday. A quick reminder that the next splitmeet will be a week from tomorrow, on 2 November. Meanwhile, we’re off to Turkey! Our community project for today: wear a perfume that is named for a place in Turkey, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Turkey, or that features a local ingredient, or ?
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.
I’m quite happily on day 2 of L’Artisan Parfumeur Traversée du Bosphore…
