It’s Tuesday, the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer and B.B. King’s birthday. Update: RIP Robert Redford. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in a dab of Guerlain Vetiver. Tea at the moment is Art of Tea Rose Black.
Reminder: 9/19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day…
PSA: our next swapmeet will start on Saturday, 20 September.
We’re marking the last days (weeks? maybe?) of summer with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the vintage perfume you’ve been thinking you really ought to smell, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
It’s Friday, National Chocolate Milkshake Day and the National Day of Encouragement. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that evokes one of Pantone’s picks for the Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 NYFW Color Palette (see image at bottom of post, and 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 “Damson is an intense purple whose contemporary glamour conjures a dramatically vintage feel” or “Cozy and comforting, Hot Chocolate summons thoughts of decadent indulgence and deliciousness”, etc.)
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 L’Artisan Parfumeur Drôle de Rose for Primrose Pink…
It’s Almost-Friday and the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in (OG) Bvlgari Omnia for (Pantone) Hot Chocolate.
Reminder: on 9/12, wear a fragrance that evokes one of Pantone’s picks for the Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 NYFW Color Palette…
It’s Wednesday and National TV Dinner Day. Birthdays today: Elsa Schiaparelli, Karl Lagerfeld, José Feliciano, Colin Firth. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Frederic Malle Le Parfum de Thérèse for Damson (and because allo mentioned it last week). It’s a simple name match…it does not smell purple to me at all.
