Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ Fall Back, 2024

Posted by Robin on 2 November 2024 120 Comments

PSA: If you live in a daylight savings zone, don’t forget to change your clocks! That means it’s time for our eighth annual Fall Back poll.

As always, answer as many or as few as you like, or just talk about something else. If it’s spring where you live, adjust the questions accordingly.

1. What’s the fragrance you’d most like to add to your collection this fall?

2. You have to vote one perfume in your collection off the island. Which one will go first, and why?

3. It’s time for a (fantasy) fall getaway! Where are you going, and pick ONE fragrance to bring with you…

Friday scent of the day 9/22

Posted by Robin on 22 September 2023 279 Comments

Happy Friday and happy Hobbit Day! It’s also the last day of (astronomical) summer…the Autumn Equinox will start in the early morning hours of Saturday (in the northern hemisphere, at least). Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that says adiós to summer, or hello to fall, or wear your favorite transitional fragrance. (If you’re in the southern hemisphere, adjust accordingly!)

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

I’m in Aedes de Venustas Oeillet Bengale, which I included in 5 perfumes: incense fragrances for fall…

A distinct change in the air

Posted by Robin on 13 September 2023 3 Comments

It’s been an unpredictable month or so, both in the weather forecast and in my day-to-day activities, and I needed this sunshiny break even more than I realized at first. I also brought along a few fragrances that I’ve been wearing regularly over the past few weeks, since they seem to bridge the various moods of this summer-into-autumn moment.

I bought the Lush Garden box of travel sprays back in August, and initially I was focused on Rose Jam and V, since I already love the Rose Jam shower gel and the discontinued (and similar to V!) Don’t Rain on My Parade shower gel. Lately, though, I’ve been gravitating towards Pansy…
