It’s the weekend, plus Diwali, plus Joni Mitchell’s 83rd and Bonnie Raitt’s 77th. We’re celebrating everything, including Chaos Never Dies Day coming up on Monday, with our usual open thread poll.
Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that helps you accept the chaos, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Happy Friday and happy National Nachos Day! Birthdays: John Philip Sousa, Glenn Frey, Arturo Sandoval and Colson Whitehead. Our community project for today: wear the fragrance you’d like to give to your 21-year-old self (even if it wasn’t on the market at that time). Thanks go to Kanuka 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.
My 21 year old self was not going to give any thought at all to the relationship between gender and fragrance for some years yet…M7 would have been too big an ask, but I’m pretty sure Dior’s Eau Sauvage would have been an easy entry point…
It’s Almost-Friday, plus SWINTON’s birthday and Guy Fawkes Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
What I needed when I was 21 was a good ‘chill pill’ perfume…I’m sending my younger self a bottle of Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate.
Reminder: on 11/6, wear the fragrance you’d like to give to your 21-year-old self…
It’s Hump Day, National Stress Awareness Day and National Candy Day. Birthdays: Walter Cronkite, Eugene Sledge, Loretta Swit. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Yves Saint Laurent Paris, a fragrance I was wearing when I was 21.
