Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ 6 questions, October 2024

Posted by Robin on 19 October 2024 153 Comments

PSA: We will hold a splitmeet 2 weeks from today, on November 2. Meanwhile, we’ve got five six! questions to while away the weekend…as always, answer as many or as few as you like, or use the 3 day weekend to answer a couple a day, or just talk about something else.

1. What’s your fragrance today?

2. If you were giving advice to a new perfumista — someone just falling down the rabbit hole this year — what would it be?

3. Are you angling to buy a new perfume soon, and what is it?

4. Do you think you will buy a fragrance-related advent calendar this year? If so, which one?

5. What’s your absolute favorite home fragrance product lately? It can be anything — a candle, incense, burning paper or spray.

6. Share something wonderful with us! It can be anything: something you discovered, or ate, or saw, or bought, or that happened to you recently…

Friday scent of the day 10/18

Posted by Robin on 18 October 2024 138 Comments

Happy Friday and happy National Chocolate Cupcake Day! Birthdays: A. J. Liebling, Anita O’Day, Chuck Berry, Martina Navratilova, Wynton Marsalis. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that evokes one of Pantone’s picks for the Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 NYFW Color Palette. (If you like, click through to the article and pick your fragrance based on the color name or description rather than the color itself, as in “Tomato Cream, a nourishing toasty hue that warms the soul.” or “Italian Plum, a deep dark purple full of magical energies.”)

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 in Le Labo Bergamote 22 for Golden Palm, although now that I’m wearing it I’d say the color match isn’t perfect. Oh well, I smell great…
