The swapmeet is open for business through Tuesday! Then Donatella will be dropping by on Thursday.
Meanwhile, we're marking the last days of September with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you're most excited about trying soon, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Today for fun I’m in Tom Ford Lost Cherry.
Went to the mall, peeked into Lush, and to my great surprise they had the Sticky Dates body spray. Dodged the insistent salespeople, gave it a try along with Yog Nog (never smelled it before because they never have it), liked them equally and couldn’t decide between them, bought them both — probably the last thing on Earth I needed but the price was right and when am
I going to get the chance again? (Actually, the last thing I needed was lip balm but I got a couple of those too, Key Lime Pie and Rose Lollipop in their little metal tins, because they smell delicious and instantly melt into oil on your lips, which feels so good.)
Sounds like you found some nice things!
I’m in Omnia Ambra this morning, over the dregs of last night’s Bois d’Ascese.
Post shower am testing Day Three La Tacita de Cafe.
Yesterday was scary waiting to hear from my sister and everyone else in Florida.
She and I were able to talk yesterday and she was asked to go work at hospital. One of the no fail generators failed and she spent 12 hours moving elderly patients to a different building.
What a woman.
No damage to her home. Kids in Tampa all good and family in Brooksville good. Trees down and power loss.
So many others not so lucky.
One year ago today we were in Nairobi visiting the ellys at Sheldrake Foundation. That was way more fun.
Glad to hear your fam is all safe, but probably very exhausted. I contacted a good friend of mine in Asheville, NC yesterday. No power, no landline, extensive flooding, trees down across her driveway and yard. Thankfully, everyone was okay. Never thought I’d use North Carolina and Hurricane in the same sentence…🌀
My grandkids are about four hours from Asheville and they do talk about getting storms from the hurricane and seem to lose power quite a bit.
Oh, sure, many bad storms/hurricanes in the central and eastern half of the state, but Asheville is in the extreme western mountainous area that is not typical hurricane territory historically. My first travel contract was in Jacksonville NC (better know for Camp Le Jeune) right on the coast. Had a few wicked storms when I was there. Hope your family made it through safe and sound.
I’m wearing Iris Shot today.
Smells like an autumn staple.
