First of all:
• What did you enjoy about this year’s Friday Synch?
• What you did not enjoy?
• Is there something you would like to see go?
• Is there something you would like to see more of?
• Is there some theme from this year that you’d like to see again in 2023?
• Is there a theme that you want to see returned from the older years?
• Is there something that prevents you from joining or enjoying the synchs more often? Do you vibe with the themes or not at all? Especially if you’re not a regular syncher, I guess.
I myself am happy that we went away from location and brand synchs – the location synchs are fun and good and nicely challenging, but I feel like I don’t miss them yet. Do you? The brand synchs are actually fun, but 1) they’re not accessible to everyone and 2) they actually do pop up naturally and I like it that way. What do you think?
I am actually glad to see I was proved wrong and I don’t see the need to put the user’s days back again into the synch. They were great fun for sure, but now I see how they can get clique-y easily and deter newer or less involved participants.
I still love our Equinox days and all the weather-appropriate days (our friends in the South Hemisphere included). But it’s me. Are you done with them or do you want more of them?
I feel like themes that revolve about more difficult choices – like Your un-easiest reach, Nostalgia Scent or Feisty Day – were exciting, yet slightly less popular, as people don’t often want to wear a fragrance that is difficult for them or less loved or something we already grew out of and may no longer have an access too…especially on Friday. But they gave us some of the greatest stories to read and tell! So I guess that any theme can be great in its own way. What are your thoughts on the more difficult synchs?
I see that panned by The Guide/Praised by The Guide synch days are still very popular. Do you still love them and would gladly synch the oud out of it again? Are you bored by them and would like to give this theme a rest for a while? Tell me.
There was a suggestion to add additional The Perfume Guide synch day – for the fragrances rated 3 stars, because the mediocrity needs some love, too! 
I personally like the idea. What do you think about it?
Do you want to see more synch days revolving around scent profiles and actual notes – like Fruity Day, Herbal Day, Myrrh & Incense Day, Nuts Day, Wear a Warming Scent, etc? (These were the themes for this year, next year would have different ones)
Or do you want more open-ended, random synchs on varying fun/odd themes like Cheap Cheap Day, Haikus & Limericks, Picture Day, Emoji Day, Resolutions/Looking Back, Grandpa/Grandma synch, etc? (These were the themes for this year, we might keep some of the more popular ones and think up new ones)
Also, the ideas of what you want to see next year, keep them coming!
Tell me everything, my dear fragrance enthusiasts, lovers and freaks, frag hags, frag hoes, scented ladies and gentlemen, perfumed witches, devils, unicorns and merpersons, smelly sisters and brothers.
In scents we trust.
Yours truly,
Smelly Alice
