Lazy weekend poll ~ spring viewing list, episode 2

Posted by Robin on 17 April 2021 195 Comments

We did a visual media poll last March because so many people were stuck at home (usually we only did this poll in the middle of winter). Possibly we don’t need to do a repeat in 2021, but we’ll do one more and see how much interest there is? And coming soon: the swapmeet, on 24 April, followed by the spring reading poll, on 1 May.

Tell us…

…what fragrance you’re wearing today?

…any great tv shows or movies you’ve discovered recently, and/or

…anything else fun you’ve been streaming (exercise videos? music? anything),

Or, as always, just talk about something else….

Or, as always, just talk about something else…

Lazy weekend poll ~ fall viewing list, episode 1

Posted by Robin on 17 October 2020 202 Comments

Some of us are still stuck at home, and some of us are freer to move about, but with fewer places to go. Either way, if you’re watching more tv during the Covid-19 pandemic, you’re not alone! So as with the reading poll, we’re adding extra viewing polls — if you’re going to watch, it might as well be something good. (And we’ll cover audio entertainment, like podcasts, in an upcoming poll.) So do tell us…

…what fragrance you’re wearing today?

…any great tv shows or movies you’ve discovered recently, and/or

…anything else fun you’ve been streaming to stay occupied (exercise videos? anything),

Or, as always, just talk about something else…

The odour of the “clean” smelling detergent

Posted by Robin on 20 August 2020 2 Comments

That makes enduring the hauteur of his latest client, professional “nose” or fragrance designer Mademoiselle Anne Walberg (Emmanuelle Devos), all the more challenging given she expects him to not only drive and carry her luggage, but also help her change sheets at hotels because she can’t stand the odour of the “clean” smelling detergent they’ve used, and take notes for her while she analyses the smell of a cave that needs to be copied for a client.

— From a review of the 2019 French movie Les Parfums. Read more in Perfumes review – admirably refreshing French comedy-drama at The Guardian, or see the trailer below the jump…
