We’re marking United Nations Day with our same-old-thing open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the top fragrance on your holiday wish list at the moment, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Chanel has dropped a bunch of No. 5 body products for the holidays. Shown is The Hair Mist ("A mist that delicately scents hair with the elegant, mysterious notes of the now and forever fragrance. A feminine, sensual floral bouquet that enhances the smooth harmony of May rose and jasmine.") $65 for 35 ml at Dillards.
The splitmeet (episode 14) is open for business. PLEASE read the instructions! For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, splitting, there will be a poll along shortly.
Don’t know what a bottle split is, or you know but you’ve never tried it? See here.
Please note that the intention of the splitmeet is to split newly purchased bottles of perfume, not to sell decants of fragrances already in your collection! Anyone can join a split, but only people with current, active reader accounts may host splits. Update: in other words, you cannot host a split if you have never commented here before the day the splitmeet opens…
For Acqua di Parma Colonia fans, the Edizione Speciale: "Every bottle is made with the expertise of skilled artisans on the Murano island of Venice, home to generations of the most expert craftsmen in glass art. Luminous stars adorn the glass, the result of a precise manual engraving technique with a diamond tip, giving the end product both a tactile and visionary sensorial experience. Each element is carefully decorated and embellished with 12K white gold leaves, lending a soft and opulent touch to the decor that emulates shining stars. A soft gold leaf plaque completes this detailed and refined work of art." $550 for 180 ml at Saks Fifth Avenue.
