Friday scent of the day 9/22

Posted by Robin on 22 September 2023 273 Comments

Happy Friday and happy Hobbit Day! It’s also the last day of (astronomical) summer…the Autumn Equinox will start in the early morning hours of Saturday (in the northern hemisphere, at least). Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that says adiós to summer, or hello to fall, or wear your favorite transitional fragrance. (If you’re in the southern hemisphere, adjust accordingly!)

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 Aedes de Venustas Oeillet Bengale, which I included in 5 perfumes: incense fragrances for fall…

Friday scent of the day 9/15

Posted by Robin on 15 September 2023 226 Comments

It’s Friday, plus National Double Cheeseburger Day, the International Day of Democracy and Agatha Christie’s birthday. Our community project for today: we’re off to Italy! Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Italy, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Italy, or that features an Italian ingredient, or ? 

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 beach, still commando, and even more behind on comments. (I’ll catch up when I get home on Sunday.) Zero points for me this week! (But if I was home and if I still had any, I’d have gone with the sadly discontinued Eau d’Italie Paestum Rose…)

Happy Friday! It’s also Star Trek Day and International Literacy Day. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with saffron, if you have one. 

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.

It’s hot out there — again! — so I’m happily copying all of you who took saffron points in Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré…

Friday scent of the day 9/1

Posted by Robin on 1 September 2023 240 Comments

Rabbit rabbit rabbit! It’s September, and the start of the long Labor Day weekend. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that pays tribute to your own work, paid or unpaid, or that will bring you good luck for the month.

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 paying tribute to my work on Now Smell This in Carthusia Mediterraneo, which I was wearing back in May 2014 when we started doing daily scent of the day polls…

Happy Friday and happy National Banana Split Day! (Plus a few birthdays: Leonard Bernstein, Sean Connery, Wayne Shorter, Martin Amis, Elvis Costello.) Our community project: Do whatever you like with the banana split theme.

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 doing vanilla + nuts + cherries, again, this time in the old-school cult classic The People of the Labyrinths Luctor et Emergo…
