Monday scent of the day 12/11

Posted by on 144 Comments

It’s Monday and the 5th night of Hanukkah. Also, International Mountain Day, and in Argentina, Día Nacional Del Tango. Happy 92nd birthday to Rita Moreno! What fragrance are you wearing?

Lazy weekend poll ~ five questions for December 2023

Posted by on 153 Comments

Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Spain, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Spain, or that features an Spanish 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.

Wednesday scent of the day 12/6

Hump Day, plus Saint Nicholas Day and Ira Gershwin’s birthday. In Canada, it’s the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. RIP Norman Lear. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am on vacation this week, and will probably be mostly commando but I’ve brought along L’Artisan Parfumeur Séville à l’Aube to wear in the evenings.

Reminder: on 12/8, we’re off to Spain…
