Friday scent of the day 8/2

Posted by Robin on 2 August 2019 445 Comments

It's Guessing Game Friday (again)! Our community project for today: describe your perfume to us, OR, give your perfume the name it ought to have had, and we'll see if we can guess what it is. Thanks go out to Glannys for the suggestion!

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

I ought to have been called Eau de Tranquillité. (Update: Elisa P guessed it, I'm in Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate.)

Reminder: on 8/9 we'll celebrate National Book Lovers Day...wear a fragrance inspired by an author or a book or a character in a book.

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2019, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Note: top image is a clue in more ways than one. (Update: top image shows details from Comme des Garçons garments shown on the runway in 2018.).

    Worn by a Redemptoristine sister?

    Bonus:
    I might switch it out this evening for something else –
    I’ll ask my mum.

            Oh, I am not clever, BobH whips these things out and it takes me ages.

            But I did do polka dots and asymmetrical — both CdG clues!

          • Robin says:
            2 August 2019 at 1:03 pm

            AND, I posted this article and then immediately wrote my comment, and BobH STILL beat me to the first comment spot, ha! I suspect he has surveillance devices in my office.

            I spent an hour on Sunday composing 9(!) of these clues so I just had them ready to go. It’s so much fun and I can’t wait to do it again so thanks for hosting it and thanks to Glannys whose idea it was. ☺️

          Ah, if I were more of a fashionista, I would’ve done a better job of spotting your CDG clues :) I agree that BobH has been quite clever! Most of the posts here are a bit too clever for my feeble brain….

        Ah, good guess, but no.

        Here, this will give it away: the largest circle above shows detail from a single garment that appeared on the runway a few seasons ago.

        There are at least 2 other things about the image that indicate my brand, although not the name of my juice.

          The color pattern looks like the CdG either Avignon or Ouarzazate. Though the red looks more Avignon.

            So true. I thought about cluing just with “Redeye” but was worried people would go down the photography aisle and start guessing Olfactive Studios fragrances (Autoportrait being one I could have used that clue on). Can’t decide if I prefer being more obvious or more opaque in cluing.

            I really like your answer, but no. Correct main note, and you are getting closer with the name.

            The number is not an important part of the scent. It is often dropped from the name.

        However, the name of my SOTD can also refer to a place. Unusual spelling though.

        The house is French and indie. Quite prolific, several collections of perfumes.

    High stress day. I sprayed and forgot the name of what I sprayed. So maybe you can tell me.
    It is a discontinued scent from the line of Barney’s fragrances by niche designers (not necessarily perfume designers). The designer died after the fragrance released. She designed clothes.
    It is summer rose scent.

        Well, I’m in the Midwest and have only been to California once and that was Santa Cruz so no knowledge of canyons. The Mamas and the Papas had a very clever reference :)

          Santa Cruz is one of the better places to go in CA. It’s unique.

          I’m an honorary Midwesterner… mom and husband both from Wisconsin.

          (The Canyon thing was really rather obscure…I don’t know L.A. well either. Those two canyons happened to show up in recent movies I saw, so they were in my head…)

    Top notes in my perfume are orange blossom and petitgrain. Could be anything really. So, here are my other clues:

    Book of Revelation
    Dumbbell Nebula
    Katherine Heigl character
    Spanish Alphabet

    My perfume shares something with these four things/people that they also have in common with each other. If you can figure out what they have in common, figuring out my perfume will be easy.

            2 August 2019 at 6:21 pm

            Man this one is difficult. There are much better warriors about on NST today than I (I don’t care if the correct usage demands ‘’me’, ‘I’ still feels more proper) Is the bottle blue? Does it have an apple note that is prominent?

    • Regina says:
      2 August 2019 at 1:11 pm

      Is it Dilletante? I’m thinking things with “ll” in them (though I guess it’s not the book of Revellation…)

            Yes!!! That’s it. Every clue is related to 27.

            Book of Revelation (27 books in the New Testament–BoR is the 27th)
            Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Messier 27)
            Katherine Heigl character (27 Dresses)
            Spanish Alphabet (27 letters)
            Cobalt (27 on the periodic table)

    SOTD: The sea spray on my face is as crisp and refreshing as the margarita in my hand as I relax with friends on Tom’s sailboat as we head to the sandy beach of our favorite Caribbean island . . .

    (Oh, who am I kidding? What’s on my face is sunscreen, not crisp nor refreshing but rather greasy; what’s in my hand is a bottle of water; and it’s my feet that are carrying me, not to a sandy beach, but to the concrete deck of my neighborhood swimming pool. But a girl can dream, right? Besides, the blue sky and sunshine is the same and that water will feel oh, so good . . .)

    Happy weekend to all!

            Yes, that would’ve been a bit tedious, so I decided to forestall it. I had to look up Beethoven’s Opus VIII. It turns out it’s a trio and the recording I found of it (online) takes 25 minutes, so I figured my clue was valid.

    Hi All!

    It’s Friday and raining, so am wearing Clean’s Rain. I am so busy with prepping for various things that I did not have teh brainwaves for a riddle! :-)

    My ground cherries have started to ripen and I now regret only getting two plants. The flavor is yum!

      Are ground cherries those orange things? Do they have another name?

        I think they are these, and I have never had them:

          I’ve had them in Finland, and they’re delicious. Sort of piquant.

    Y’all are doing a great job with today’s CP!

    My creative juices are a bit off this week, so I went with my instinct, which was to give my scent not a *better* name but rather its equally-plausible-but-inferior-sounding-alternative name: Wanderer.

    My creative funk is no doubt partly due to the state of despair I was plunged into after being absolutely blindsided by Wednesday’s MLB trade deadline effery. It turned out far, far worse than I was already afraid of. Guys, I’m dangerously close to ending up on the floor in the fetal position, huffing my bottle of 31RC.??

    Have yourselves a lovely weekend, you wonderful-smelling people!

        Oh, austenfan, you’re so sweet’—but I think there was some transatlantic-lost-in-translation humor there, as I was exaggerating about bad news from sports this week.? To explain: the professional baseball league has a deadline for trading players every year (like the transfer windows in footy), just past halfway through the season. My team made a deal at the *literal* last second that no one across the 30 teams saw coming and traded away our star pitcher. It was the most stunning development of the day in the whole sport. So, I am genuinely bummed because he’s one of my favorite players,, but I’m not…clinically depressed.

        Yeah, it’s bad enough when it’s an expected-but-dreaded trade. But this was so unforeseen it was almost comical—at least as far as watching the reporters/analysts all go ?—because there was *no* reason to think we were in any danger of losing Greinke.

        You know, there’s sort of a corollary of this that I believe, too. That is, players on different teams getting into genuine personal beefs is a really bad idea in baseball because, I think more than in any other sport, there’s a good chance they’ll end up playing together at some point. Awkward.??
