Hi APJ,

A SOTD (Scent Of The Day) thread is a really good conversation generator. 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. 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.

Hey there APJ Crew,

I have an admission to make. We have been so busy that almost my whole week was put up from photos on one afternoon travelling by train from Irkutsk Russia to Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. Connectivity was spotty at best so forgive the lacks.

This week has been another week of wonders. Lake Baikal is a MUST SEE!

Hello Fellow Fumies,

At APJ we have a Saturday Question. Everyone gets to chime in with an answer, chat with other responders and it’s a fun event each week. Taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.

The idea is you’ll see it on the weekend or chime in through the week. Hopefully you will come back regularly and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them. The aim is to generate real conversation and connection even though we are scattered around the globe.

Chanel No 5: Love it or Hate it

Hi there APJ.

I was introduced to Chanel No 5 in my late teenage years when somebody gifted me a bottle for my 18th birthday. It was a symbolic gift congratulating me on entering adulthood. I was not quite sure if I liked it or not as I was monogamous with Ungaro’s Diva at the time.

Hey there APJ Crew,

The honeymoon is so enormous, covers so much ground and history it’s mind-blowing. Thank goodness I’m doing it with the easiest travel partner. Jin is rarely ruffled or sharp, is excellent at navigation and planning and is usually incredibly grateful to be having this amazing adventure. Everything seems just a little bit more wonderful because of him.

I’d like to take a moment to say that our stay in the Hilton Leningradskaya in Moscow was superb, they exceeded every expectation at all turns. It’s 5 Metro stops on a direct route from Red Square and has two major International Train Networks terminus’ as well.
