We’re celebrating this November weekend with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’re thinking you might pick up if there’s a good pre-holiday sale, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Psychic Sisters Wish Aura aromatherapy mist with geranium and clementine: "Spritz around your Aura and chant the Affirmation ten times "My dreams & wishes have come true” to bring instant ease and peace of mind". 50 ml (almost certainly not enough to encompass all my dreams and wishes, plus why don't the psychic sisters already know what my dreams and wishes are?) for £20 at Selfridges.
(A day late!) Marion Cotillard with Chanel perfumer Olivier Polge, for No. 5. If you missed the ad spot, it's here.
You get more and more desperate. I started sniffing in garbage cans. You know, you want to sniff strangers’ armpits because you just can’t smell anything. … I eventually went home and sprayed my wife’s Chanel No. 5 directly into my face. Couldn’t smell a thing, but I did go blind!

DS & Durga teams up with Johnnie Walker for a limited edition candle: "This fragrant candle features notes of the finest whiskey, coastal highland air, rarest oak, reindeer moss and a touch of island peat." $70 at Nordstrom.
