It’s Tuesday and the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance nope, I’ve got my days wrong! Birthdays today: Elsa Schiaparelli, Karl Lagerfeld, José Feliciano, Colin Firth. RIP James Earl Jones. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m (mentally) extending a long weekend at the beach with Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum. Tea at the moment is Ahmad Cardamom.

The ninth edition of a poll about transitional fragrances: what are your favorite fragrances as summer turns to fall this year? What scent makes you happy as the nights get chilly and the days take on that crisp edge? And tell us what perfume you wish you owned for chilly weather.
(Or, if you’re like me, tell us what fragrances will allow you to hang on to that summer feeling just a little bit longer. And of course, if winter is turning to spring where you are, adjust the questions accordingly.)
Or, as always, talk about something else…
Happy Jolie Laide Friday! (Also, National Coffee Ice Cream Day and National Read a Book Day.) Our community project for today: wear a jolie laide perfume, howsoever you wish to interpret the term (for help, though, you can see The Unfairest of Them All at The New York Times.) Thanks go to austenfan for the suggestion!
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 the OG jolie laide fragrance, Guerlain Jicky…
