Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, late October 2023
PSA: The splitmeet is open all weekend! And if you called dibs on something and haven’t yet contacted your split host, please do so.
Meanwhile, we’re whiling away the last weekend of October with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, your favorite spooky fragrance (or favorite Halloween candy), whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Friday scent of the day 10/27
It’s Friday and the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Birthdays: Joe Medicine Crow, Dylan Thomas, Ruby Dee, Roy Lichtenstein, Sylvia Plath, John Cleese, Maxine Hong Kingston, Fran Lebowitz. Our community project for today is specialty woods… wear a perfume with guaiac, cypress, oak, or some other specialty wood note we haven’t already done (so far, we’ve covered oud, sandalwood, cedar and evergreens).
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 doing oak, in a little dab of Serge Lutens Chêne…
Thursday scent of the day 10/26

Me: same as yesterday…90% over Covid but still commando. If I had any Comme des Garçons Sequoia, I might not be able to resist.
Reminder: on 10/27 we’re doing Specialty woods…
