Friday scent of the day 2/24
It’s World Bartender Day, plus, Steampunk Friday! Our community project for today: do whatever you like with the steampunk theme. Suggested by JB and seconded by a bunch of other readers. (And if you need inspiration for this project, see JB’s comment here.)
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’m in Prada Homme / Prada Man, which struck me as the perfect retro-modern fragrance to go with the D&G fashions shown above (Prada had lots of similar steampunk-ish men’s fashion campaigns, but I was taken with this image)…
You’re spoiling the fantasy
I got told “you're spoiling the fantasy” once for telling people practical, down-to-earth kinds of things. Which fantasy is it? A lot of the time it seems to be people who make perfume, traditionally white men, believing that they're making things that women will want to wear to attract them. Is that still a thing? Apparently. I'm not really pro that romantic fantasy of why we wear perfume, but perhaps I'm in the minority?
