A repeat of a poll we did back in 2019 for the International Day for Tolerance, a UN observance dedicated to “strengthening tolerance by fostering mutual understanding among cultures and peoples”. This is a goal I wholeheartedly support, and I hope my poll on the subject of fragrance-related tolerance will not be taken as making light of a serious topic. This just isn’t the place for the discussion of serious topics, hence our handy dandy keep-the-peace comment policy.
1. Name a fragrance or a fragrance note (or a brand?) you are slowly learning to tolerate?
2. Name a fragrance you thought you hated, but loved when you smelled it on someone else?
3. Name a fragrance or a fragrance note you will probably never be able to tolerate?
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
It’s Friday, plus National Bundt Cake Day, Steve Irwin Day and Georgia O’Keeffe’s birthday. Watch for the Beaver Supermoon tonight…it’s the last supermoon until October 2025. Our community project this week: wear a fragrance with tonka bean, if you have one.
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 Hermès Vetiver Tonka…
