It's Friday and the start of the long (250!) Independence Day weekend in the US. Our community project for today: celebrate by declaring your own independence from whatever no longer serves you, and mark the occasion with the appropriate fragrance.
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 still at the lake, and still commando. I suppose I am declaring my independence from the need to wear perfume every day? It is frankly too hot to wear perfume anyway. (Lame, sorry, I will not take any points at all.)
Reminder: on 7/10, wear a perfume with a lime note, if you have one.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2026, where I'll occasionally manage to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Good morning or evening NST.
I found this CP to be challenging but after much thought, I chose Prada Candy to celebrate my independence from sugar. Better for me to get my sugar fix from perfume.
I guess the heat dome is moving out of here and heading east, my sympathies to all affected.
Excellent interpretation, I like it!
It is still hot here but not quite as bad as yesterday.
Layering Santa Maria Novella Acqua della Regina and Pot Pourri today to combat the heat.
I managed to get a bit sunburned from tubing on the lake, despite constantly reapplying sunscreen!
I’m missing the horses, but I’m also grateful there are no riding lessons in this weather.
I think we’ll head to the movies this weekend and enjoy a few hours in the air conditioning.
The movies is a great idea.
Thank you all for your kind words yesterday – they meant a lot.
I am sipping herbal liqueur, watching the rain and listening to a thunderstorm. I wore Diptyque Eau Capitale earlier, but switched to Ormonde Jayne Woman to match the weather and the liqueur. Kora is hiding behind the couch, as she usually does in weather like this, but I hope she will emerge once the rain lets up and the thunder subsides.
Am I CP-compliant? Only in the broadest sense. I suppose that when you wear perfume purely for yourself, you declare your independence from everyone else’s opinion. Cheers!
Yes — I know exactly what you mean about wearing for yourself!
Hello and tgif!
I am declaring independence from all the toxic people in my life as they absolutely do not serve me. I am wearing Clinique Wrappings as I yell “It’s a wrap!” to those past unhealthy relationships.
Spending the day in Cheirosa 62. I am hoping that I can get that lotion of it finished up tomorrow. I am slowly working on using things up and not replacing them. Will be spending my afternoon/evening with idiot customers today.
