Perfume PosseSuccs for Musette Posse! I’m not quite suuure how this happened. As you probably know I’m an inveterate gardener.

August is winding down, and we’re marking the last weekend of the month with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that will remind you of Summer (or Winter!) 2026, whatever. Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer... Read the rest of this article »

Happy Friday and happy National Red Wine Day! Birthdays: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Edward Burne Jones, Robertson Davies, Janet Frame, Rita Dove. RIP Tim Curry and Yayoi Kusama. Our community project for today: “the exception to the rule”...wear a fragrance that you love despite not generally caring for fragrances of its kind, or its brand, or its main note, or whatever...you come up with the rule and the exception. 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 plan for today was L’Occitane Immortelle de Corse, a favorite of Kevin’s. I did not think I would love it because I don’t usually love immortelle, but as it turned out it’s the only immortelle fragrance that has ever grabbed me...unfortunately, it was limited edition and I did not decide in time that I wanted a bottle. Regrets! I do still have a few drops but I cannot wear it today so I am commando, running late, and behind on everything (I have not read yesterday’s comments, and likely won’t be able to read today’s until tomorrow, we’ll see). If I do not manage to post at all on Saturday, please use this post as an open thread...I will almost certainly be back early next week... Read the rest of this article »

Speaking of exceptions to the rule, Reminiscence Elixir Patchouli, which I reviewed back in 2009, would make the very short list of patchouli fragrances I actually liked. I am pretty sure it's been out of production, but I admit I do not keep track, and I have no idea what newer versions might smell like. Here is a nicely packaged limited edition that appeared on my radar recently. £68 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at My Origines.

It’s Wednesday, National Dog Day and Women’s Equality Day. Birthdays: Guillaume Apollinaire, Jimmy Rushing, Christopher Isherwood, Mother Teresa, Julio Cortázar. RIP Dolly Parton. What fragrance are you wearing? I’m not generally a fan of celebrity perfumes, but Sarah Jessica Parker Covet is great fun. (But I can’t really claim community project points because there are too many exceptions to call it a rule.) Reminder: on 8/28 we’re doing “the exception to the rule”...
