Posted by Robin on 5 March 2026 156 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday and happy National Absinthe Day! There are 15 more days until the equinox. What fragrance are you wearing? 

For the sarsaparilla (ordered by The Stranger, and I think Donny drank one too?) at the Hollywood Star Lanes I’m in Prada Candy. 

Reminder: 3/6 is The Day of the Dude…

Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ open thread, February into March 2026

Posted by Robin on 28 February 2026 172 Comments

It’s the weekend!

We’re honoring all of it with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’ll wear just as soon as your local weather permits, whatever.

Friday scent of the day 2/27

Posted by Robin on 27 February 2026 152 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s also International Polar Bear Day, Pokémon Day, World NGO Day and Anosmia Awareness Day.

(This is a repeat from 2018.)

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 still can’t find my Ambre Narguile, and if I have any Prada Homme left, I couldn’t find that either. I’m in Hermès L’Ambre des Merveilles…
