Friday scent of the day 4/6
TGIF and then some. It’s also New Beer’s Eve, and Tartan Day. Our community project for today: wear one of your “top 10 of spring” fragrances (unless it’s fall where you are, in which case wear one of your “top 10 of fall” scents).
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 is not even slightly spring where I am, and I am also out of town, again, with no perfume. When I get home this afternoon, I’ll see if I can get into the seasonal spirit with Parfums DelRae Panache, from my 5 perfumes: vetiver fragrances for spring. And Jessica will be along later today with her Top 10 of Spring 2018…
A city of smells
Anyone who’s grown up in Adelaide knows it’s a city of smells. This occurred to me today on my morning walk, a waft of diesel from a delivery van, and a happy rush because as a child diesel meant buses, and buses meant excursions, and excursions meant no maths. Me there, in Mr Meus’s classroom, smelling his cologne. Or beside Karim, starting on a mettwurst sandwich.

The daily lemming
I'm pretty sure vetiver + osmanthus would improve my morning shower: the limited edition Vetiverus soap bar. "This fragranced soap is hand made from a blend of glycerin soap base and a 3% of our VETIVERUS fragrance. a combination of two intense natural ingredients that are unique in their olfactive profile: vetiver and osmanthus." €27, or free with any order over €65, at Oliver & Co.
