Hello Australian Perfume Junkies and friends, Scent Diary is a diary of the life I/we get to live. It’s the people, food, art, friends, dogs, fashion and fragrance that make their way into our lives.

What I really loved about original Scent Diary was the interaction with perfumistas around the world, and their interactions with each other. Scent Diary became a friendly conversation hub and it was epic. We can disagree but keep it nice and try not to give or take offense. Right now the world needs a web of friendships and connection more than ever.

Grab a cuppa or a boozy bevy, get comfortable and enjoy the read. Comment often and with great gusto. I read and respond to EVERY comment.

Hello Australian Perfume Junkies and friends, Scent Diary tells the story of my week past in fragrance, friends and fun. Join us for a recap and then tell us what happened in your week, what you wore, did any of my wears give you a thrill. Comment so it feels less like I’m shouting into the void and more like we are connected and sharing our lives, please.

Hello Australian Perfume Junkies and friends, Scent Diary is a fantastic memory tool. Looking through some much earlier Scent Diaries over the 2025 Xmas break reminded me how good our life is. It also inspires me to live life as fully as possible so there are things to talk about. This is a win.

Your involvement is key. Hope you enjoy it and will let me know what’s happening in your lives too.

Jin and I have made so many friends, near and far, through perfume. So let’s reunite the old and welcome some new friends too.

Hey there APJ Crew,

Even though it’s been rush, rush, rush to get things organised all week I’ve felt calm about it. Going at it at my own pace and getting things done one at a time has allowed me to focus on each thing. At times it’s felt quiet zen.
Fragrance has, as always, played a major part. There are some cool spritzes from the vault.
Saw some friends but all in all it was work, organise, sleep, repeat.

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.
