Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ five questions for December 2025

Posted by Robin on 13 December 2025 160 Comments

It’s the weekend — plus Hanukkah starts at sundown on Sunday, Chag Sameach! — and we’re repeating a poll we’ve done for the past few years around this time. As always, answer as few or as many as you like, or just talk about something else.

1. What fragrance are you wearing today?

2. What’s your favorite holiday (any holiday) food, OR, what’s the best thing you cooked in 2025? (Feel free to share or link to a recipe!)

3. Did you make any perfume-related resolutions for 2025, and if so, did you stick to them?

4. Possibly related to #3, what’s the next fragrance you are itching to buy?

5. Share something wonderful with us! It can be anything — something delicious you ate, a great movie you saw recently, the last good book you read, any fabulous news you recently received — really, anything…

Friday scent of the day 12/12

Posted by Robin on 12 December 2025 214 Comments

Happy Friday and happy Gingerbread House Day! It’s also Frank Sinatra’s birthday. Our community project for today: tell us about a personal hobby or interest or any activity you do frequently, other than perfume, and match it to a fragrance. Thanks go to Kanuka for the suggestion.

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.

For yoga (cliché, I know, but I do feel like yoga and sauna keep me sane) I’m in Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate…

Happy Almost-Friday and happy International Mountain Day! It’s also the Día Nacional Del Tango, plus a very happy 94th birthday to Rita Moreno. What fragrance are you wearing?

For sitting in a sauna, easily my favorite winter activity, I’m in Comme des Garçons Moncole Scent One: Hinoki.

Reminder: on 12/12, tell us about a personal hobby or interest or any activity you do frequently…

Wednesday scent of the day 12/10

Posted by Robin on 10 December 2025 148 Comments

It’s Hump Day, Human Rights Day and Emily Dickinson’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?

The activity I do most frequently and consistently is probably reading, and the fragrance I wear most consistently while reading: good old Diptyque Philosykos. 

Reminder: on 12/12, tell us about a personal hobby or interest or any activity you do frequently, other than perfume…

Tuesday scent of the day 12/9

Posted by Robin on 9 December 2025 124 Comments

It’s Tuesday and National Pastry Day; also, International Anti-Corruption Day. Birthdays: Joseph Pilates, Redd Foxx, Judi Dench. What fragrance are you wearing?

I have a perfume problem, and I have a tea problem too. The only difference is that I might finish all the tea before I die? Anyway, I’m wearing Marni, with its little hint of cardamom, to match the cardamom I add to the Cascadia Breakfast tea from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Company (that of course I learned about from a reader here).

Reminder: on 12/12, tell us about a personal hobby or interest or any activity you do frequently, other than perfume…
