Hi APJ,
A SOTD (Scent Of The Day) thread is a really good conversation generator. The idea is youβll 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. and how it makes you feel and/or anything else about it that tickles your fancy.
You can also comment on everyone else choices too. It’s great to tell someone how much you love their choice, ask for more info about it, the house or perfumer. There’s someone here from around the world 24/7 and perfume people love to chat.
SOTD 24.2-1.3.2020
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.
Go To It Crew.

Of course I have perfumes much cheaper than this that are at least as good or better, but that doesn’t mean this wasn’t worth it.

Last day of APJ SOTDs. Today I’m wearing the most special perfume that I own: pre World War 1 Jicky. It smells great and, surprisingly, has pretty good longevity; I can still smell it on my skin after 9 hours.
So long; it’s been fun. See you in other places, I hope.
