You voted: Spring Scents Yet?

Yes, I like to remind myself it is coming	4 (19%)
Yes, because it has started behaving like spring	1 (4%)
No, because that would just be cruel right now	9 (42%)
No, because they're "in storage"	2 (9%)
I don't believe in seasonal scents	5 (23%)

Have tweaked the type color on the poll results so I can read them. (Grey on white?? whose idea of a joke is this?)  Half of the voting public said wearing a spring scent at this time of year would be unkind, and most of the other half was split nearly evenly between going ahead and wearing them to remind themselves that spring was coming, or dismissing the idea of seasonal scents altogether.

Should you be curious, I was in the cruel camp, but I cheated a bit.  I could have pleaded storage issues, because most of my spring/warm weather scents are housed together and currently not in the rotation zone...but it is not so difficult to get the them.  I mean, I could go splash some Eau Imperiale right now if I needed to, without any trouble.  You see, I think by season, but don't strictly adhere.

Fair warning:  I've released my (older version) Hermes Amazone.  Going to see if it is suitable for a greeting/heralding spring scent.  Not today, but soon.  Soon.

Who you calling "culling"?  6%

Thank you for responding.  Thank you for being all over the place...such is what I hoped.


If we are all at different points in our interest / obsession / long term plan, we should be at different points in an arc toward assessing and taming...or not.


An arc which, I think comes back around again.   


I'll be sharing the insides of other people's collections throughout 2011; some are chastisingly organized, some are delightfully random.  Let me know if you're willing to share pictures of yours--you have the option to use your real name or an alias.  :)

Vote!

A cull to action:  Did you have plans for your collection in 2010?  Do you for 2011?

Last poll of 2010 on the bar to your left there.  You can pick more than one answer.

Poll results: Going Commando

update: poll is re-opened until October 31st!  Happy Halloween!!

Everybody who replied to the poll has gone commando.  The majority have "accidentally" done so, but without agony.

This is good.  The only agony caused by perfume should be the result of being downwind of an overapplied '80s big floral.
