Friday scent of the day 3/6

Posted by Robin on 6 March 2026 159 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s also the European Day of the Righteous, plus The Day of the Dude. Our community project for today: Take it easy, man. (This is a repeat from 2020.)

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.

For letting the world’s troubles melt away (and for appropriately low mental effort) I’m wearing what I wore on the Day of Dude in 2020: Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate…

Friday scent of the day 2/27

Posted by Robin on 27 February 2026 152 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s also International Polar Bear Day, Pokémon Day, World NGO Day and Anosmia Awareness Day. Birthdays: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Steinbeck, Mildred Bailey, Dexter Gordon and Elizabeth Taylor.  Our community project for today: wear an amber fragrance, if you have one. (This is a repeat from 2018.)

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 still can’t find my Ambre Narguile, and if I have any Prada Homme left, I couldn’t find that either. I’m in Hermès L’Ambre des Merveilles…

Friday scent of the day 2/20

Posted by Robin on 20 February 2026 118 Comments

It’s Friday and the World Day of Social Justice. Birthdays: Louis Kahn, Ansel Adams, Gloria Vanderbilt, Robert Altman, Sidney Poitier, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Kurt Cobain. Our community project for today: honor the Lunar New Year (which was on Tuesday) by wearing a fragrance that reflects the qualities of the (Fire) Horse: energy, enthusiasm, independence and passion.

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 had various plans for today’s horse-related fragrance, but I’m coming down with what is hopefully a mild head cold. I’m commando…

Friday scent of the day 2/13

Posted by Robin on 13 February 2026 138 Comments

It’s Friday the 13th, plus World Radio Day. Our community project for today is Long Lost Love…wear a beloved fragrance that has been discontinued, or a fragrance that reminds you of a beloved person, pet, possession or place. Thanks to Old Herbaceous for the idea! 

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.

A lost place and time: I’m remembering living near the beach in SoCal in the late 80s / early 90s, in Comptoir Sud Pacifique Aqua Motu…

Friday scent of the day 2/6

Posted by Robin on 6 February 2026 200 Comments

Happy Friday all! It’s also Waitangi Day, Bob Marley’s birthday and National Frozen Yogurt Day. Plus, it’s the opening day of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Our community project for today: do absolutely whatever you like with the Winter Olympics theme: scent a winter sport? Wear something Italian to celebrate the location? Wear something to support your country’s team? Or, pick a fragrance to honor your utter lack of interest in sports, or winter, or both. Thanks go to LesLiesse for the idea!

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.

Utter lack of interest in sports? Check. Complete disdain for winter? Check. I’m going Italian, though, in Carthusia Mediterraneo…
