Lazy weekend poll ~ spring viewing list, episode 1

Posted by Robin on 21 March 2020 339 Comments

Saturday is International Fragrance Day and the International Day of Forests. Sunday is World Water Day. With so many of us stuck at home, though, this weekend’s poll is on a topic we usually only cover once a year, in the winter: visual media. (And we’ll do a spring reading poll soon, in April.) 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? music? anything),

Or, as always, just talk about something else. And if you can think of anything else you’d like us to talk about in a weekend poll, do speak up…

Carrington Perfumes Forever Krystle ~ fragrance review

Posted by Angela on 13 May 2019 27 Comments

Last week, a good friend set a bottle of Carrington Perfumes Forever Krystle Eau de Toilette on my table. “I put it in the box to bring to you. Took it out, then put it back again. Here. Maybe you can find it a home.”

Years ago, I’d found the bottle of Forever Krystle at Goodwill and passed it to her when we were both deep into Dynasty reruns, even sometimes giving episodes our own Mystery Science Theater treatment.1 I couldn’t remember the fragrance at all, but I did remember that Krystle wore Bal à Versailles…

A one-of-a-kind fragrance

Posted by Robin on 27 November 2018 Leave a Comment

In updating the historical story, this six-part season also gets a detective show twist, with a group of investigators looking into the death of a singer. What they find is a group of one-time school friends, at least one of whom stumbled into the practice of using human scents as the basis for making a one-of-a-kind fragrance. An unexplained death quickly turns into a psychological dive down the rabbit hole of an obsessive killer.

— The new version of Perfume opens on Netflix in late December. Read more (and watch the trailer) at ‘Perfume’ Trailer: Human Scent Murder Mystery Gets Netflix German TV Treatment at Indiewire. You can read our review of the 2006 movie here, or of Patrick Süskind's novel Perfume here.
