Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa ’62 & Francesca Bianchi Sex and the Sea ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Jessica on 31 July 2020 17 Comments

As an intro to my list of Top Ten Summer Fragrances way back in 2014, I grumbled that I’ve never liked the question, “What are your plans for the summer?” I can safely say that no one has asked me that question this year…since so many plans have been canceled and most of us are just quietly staying safe at home.

Friday scent of the day 7/31

Posted by Robin on 31 July 2020 352 Comments

Lo and behold, Friday. (Also, World Ranger Day.) Our community project for today is best of summer…wear the perfume you’re reaching for the most this summer. (If it’s winter where you are, wear the perfume you’re reaching for the most this winter.)

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 have two oldie but goodie favorites this summer. One is Carthusia Mediterraneo, which I tend to spray on in the late afternoon, and which tends to disappear by dinner. Then, at bed time, my trusty stress reliever, Aftelier Ancient Resins…
