It’s Tuesday, and happy Saint Patrick’s Day!! The swapmeet is open for business for the next week. Birthdays: Penelope Lively, William Gibson, Nat King Cole, Alexander McQueen. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Etro Shaal Nur, for a not particularly spring-like day. Tea at the moment is Harney CTC Assam, since I’m out of Irish Breakfast.
Reminder: 3/20 is the equinox…
American shoppers overwhelmingly prefer online shopping and love testing new fragrances and gift sets. More and more consumers are turning to AI tools to find the right fragrance for them and get personalized recommendations. They make extensive use of social media, particularly TikTok, as a means of discovering and purchasing new fragrances. [...]
Europeans have also embraced social media, with TikTok and Instagram being essential platforms for exploring new fragrances, but they still place great importance on testing at points of sale, reflecting a long tradition of perfume as a luxury craft.

The swapmeet is open for business! Sunday is the Ides of March, plus it’s Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, and the equinox is coming up on Friday.
We’re marking all the occasions with our same old open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, your luckiest green perfume, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
The swapmeet (episode 28) is open for business! PLEASE read the instructions! (For those of you who refuse to read the instructions, please do not respond to anyone else’s comment except to say that their email address does not work. ANYTHING else you need to say, say it in an email. If you insist on responding to a comment, I will delete your comment. If you want to know how to swap for something, see #6 below!) For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, swapping, there will be a poll along shortly.
Don’t know what swapping is, or you know but you’ve never tried it? See here. You can also take a look at the feedback from episode 3, episode 4, episode 5, episode 6 and episodes 7-8, episodes 9-10, episodes 11-17.
Please, do not participate if you do not have time to mail your items within the next three weeks! Hopefully, another swapmeet will be coming up in the fall…
A spot for the Eau de Rochas flankers, including the latest, Pomelo Passion.
