It’s our first lazy weekend open thread of the new year…talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the last fragrance you tried and put aside for different weather, the first 2026 fragrance you plan to try (or have already tried), whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Happy Friday and happy National Apricot Day! Birthdays: Carrie Chapman Catt, Simone de Beauvoir, Joan Baez. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with an apricot note, if you have one.
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.
Still copying the rest of you, in Serge Lutens Daim Blond…
It’s Almost-Friday and David Bowie’s birthday, plus, National Bubble Bath Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus.
Reminder: 1/9 is National Apricot Day…
It’s Wednesday and National Tempura Day. Birthdays: Zora Neale Hurston and Gerald Durrell. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m copying everyone who wore Hermès Osmanthe Yunnan yesterday.

2025 is over, but we can’t wipe the slate clean just yet. Donatella Versace, Our Lady of Fragranced Forgiveness,1 has a few free moments after recovering from her New Year party at Claridge’s, and she wants to help you move into 2026 with a clean conscience. Do confess — Donatella always forgives.
Tell us about your purchases for the fourth quarter (October, November and December) of 2025 in the comments. You can just tell us the number of bottles, or you can list your acquisitions, whatever you like…
