Hi APJ,
I see these SOTD (Scent Of The Day) threads all the time on Facebook and they are really good conversation generators.
SOTD 25 – 31 December 2017
The idea is you’ll chime in through the week with whatever scent you are wearing. You don’t need to be super knowledgable, have high faluting tastes or be a published author to comment. Just tell us what fragrance you’re wearing, smelling, buying etc.
You probably won’t have time to write every scent, every spritz but whenever you feel the mood take you share your current spritz and a few things about it. Maybe you love/loathe it, want it, are excited by the notes/bottle/SA who sold it: WHATEVER! As always here at APJ, taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
Hopefully you will come back and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them.
Over 100 responses I will draw a Scent Sample Pack (from my collection)
This week:
- Thierry Mugler Womanity
- Oliver & Co Vaninger
- Neela Vermeire Creations Trayee
- Etat Libre d’Orange Yes I Do
- Evocative Perfumes Vanille Tonique
Comment purposefully on yours or anothers comment & you’ll have a chance, random.org will draw on Sunday.
Last Weeks WINNER: Jyotsna
Go To It Crew.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and happy Monday to everyone. SOTD is vintage Cinnabar parfum again, because I love it and it’s what I’ve worn on Christmas since 1980. Later today or this evening I’ll change over to Lagerfeld KL.

How many bottles of vintage Cinnabar have you gone through since 1980?

Oh my gosh, between perfume and fragrance spray/splash I’d say…geez, an awful lot. Scores. In the 80s into the mid to late 90s Opium was one of my signatures and overspraying was the norm, so easily 2 – 4 2 oz bottles a year; since then around a bottle a year plus perfume. Now I have this awful mental image of all the Cinnabar bottles I slayed. I have all of the perfume empties and a bunch of the others in boxes in storage, like the souvenirs any good serial killer might keep. I actually never thought of it in terms of how many over time before, ouch! =)
