Lazy Thursday poll ~ open thread, New Year’s Eve 2009

Posted by Robin on 31 December 2009 407 Comments

new year

The usual open thread routine: talk about anything you like — what perfume you’re wearing today, the best perfumes of the 2000s, the first fragrance you'll buy in 2010, whatever.

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer.

And of course, wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and a peaceful, well-scented 2010!

Tom Ford Italian Cypress ~ fragrance review

Posted by Kevin on 30 December 2009 77 Comments

Tom Ford Italian Cypress fragrance

The “new” year is almost here and as usual, I’m worrying. What didn’t I accomplish in 2009? What’s the outlook for 2010 — will I be healthy, will I travel, and who or what will disappear, what will change for better or worse, by the time 2011 arrives? As you can tell, I’m not a champagne cork-popping, dancing, party boy on New Year’s Eve.
