As always, answer as many or as few as you like, or just talk about something else. If it’s spring where you live, adjust the questions accordingly.

1. What’s the fragrance you’d most like to add to your collection this fall?

2. You have to vote one perfume in your collection off the island. Which one will go first, and why?

3. It’s time for a (fantasy) fall getaway! Where are you going, and pick ONE fragrance to bring with you…

Posted by Robin on 26 September 2025 130 Comments

It’s the first Friday of Autumn (unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case you know what to do). Also, happy Johnny Appleseed Day! Birthdays: T. S. Eliot, Olivia Newton-John, Serena Williams. The swapmeet is still open! Our community project for today: wear something to celebrate the new season. 

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.

Me: still sick (although feeling a bit better), still commando, yadda yadda yadda…

Friday scent of the day 9/22

Posted by Robin on 22 September 2023 279 Comments

Happy Friday and happy Hobbit Day! It’s also the last day of (astronomical) summer…the Autumn Equinox will start in the early morning hours of Saturday (in the northern hemisphere, at least). Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that says adiós to summer, or hello to fall, or wear your favorite transitional fragrance. (If you’re in the southern hemisphere, adjust accordingly!)

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 Aedes de Venustas Oeillet Bengale, which I included in 5 perfumes: incense fragrances for fall…
