Welcome to the weekly Perfume Chat Room, perfumistas! I envision this chat room as a weekly drop-in spot online, where readers may ask questions, suggest fragrances, tell others their SOTD, comment on new releases or old favorites, and respond to each other. The perennial theme is fragrance, but we can interpret that broadly. This is meant to be a kind space, so please try not to give or take offense, and let’s all agree to disagree when opinions differ. In fragrance as in life, your mileage may vary! YMMV.
Today is Friday, January 2, and we are slowly digging out from the holidays. I wish you all a very happy New Year, full of fragrance, family, friends, and fun! Instead of writing about a particular scent, I’m going to share some photos of some of the fragrant destinations that I was privileged to visit in 2025. I look forward to seeing and smelling more in 2026! How about you?









Fabulous perfumed travel! Our big travel in 2025 was a trip to Italy-Greece with my son’s football team. Quick, jam packed and only managed to buy a little bottle in a shop in Positano. Otherwise we had a low travel year (not counting NJ and Indiana for football games :)Happy New Year!

Thank you, you too! I’ve never been to Positano but I’ve always heard it is lovely.
