It’s Hump Day and the International Day of Non-Violence. Don't forget that Donatella will be dropping by tomorrow! What fragrance are you wearing?
My cinnamon of the day: Neela Vermeire Créations Pichola.
Reminder: on 10/4, for National Cinnamon Roll Day, wear a fragrance with a cinnamon note.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2024, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

I’m wearing Jacomo No. 08, for the cinnamon points.
I remember it – a chai tea scent! You smell deliicious!
Hello.
Sotd is Cherry Oud. Cherry with a hint of cough syrup and gentle oud.
The temperature is finally below 90 today and there’s breeze! Hopefully it will stay that way. I am soooo ready for jacket season.
We have yet another gray day…
Casmir again because I’m wearing the same shirt.
Ha, that always works!
I am wearing Nicolai Maharadjah for the CP. Nicolai website does not mention cinnamon, but Fragrantica and Basenotes do, and I can definitely smell it. To me, it is a combination of lavender, vanilla, cinnamon and woody notes. An aromatic gourmand, if you will.
Perfect!
Oh, I love that scent, will probably wear it on Friday. I smell a strong cinnamon note in there as well.
The candle with the same name is actually pretty great as well
I like it a lot as a perfume, but I would probably love it as a candle. Somehow it smells more like a “space” scent than “body” scent to me.
You smelled great today! My partner actually wore that one on Saturday. I wore Musc Ravaguer at that same time, and we were collectively wafting some gorgeous cinnamon.
Oh, it sounds fun – like dressing in the same color scheme.
I am non compliant in Prada Un Chant d’Amour. But my h told me I smelled good before I left the house this morning which is always nice. Also, the sun is out.😎 Our forecast for the next week is temps in the 70s and upper 60s, I love it!
That is always nice!
Your upcoming weather sounds perfect.
Another scorcher here in LA, so I’m keeping cool in “Geranium Pour Monsieur” from Frederic Malle.
Those temps look awful! Hope the GpM is doing the trick.
It’s helping! And, if nothing else, it’s lending me a gentlemanly elegance that I lack in my daily life.😊
Under the same heat dome that you are, alas. Time for more iced beverages! 🧊
I’m wearing an old favorite today, Commes des Garcons 2. It’s the one with the ink note and Fragrantica says it has cinnamon so that’s good enough for me.
Our weather is like madtowngirl’s, finally clear, sunny and cool. Taking my mom for a drive this afternoon.
Love that one! Mark Buxton I think.
Yes! I’m a fan.
You smell great!
Thanks apsara!
Ooooooooh, that’s a good one!
It really is!

I am in Guerlain Ginger Piccante. No cinnamon here…
You smell good anyway 🙂
La Couche du Diable for the Cp, and perfect for a cold day with a heavy rain warning a.k.a more tiresome winter weather. Suddenly, the cemetery is bursting with bluebells. All the “ green stalks” on the untended graves are now ultra violet, and the early roses are opening.
Sorry for more tiresome winter weather, but bluebells!

I am lemming the limited edition bottle of Sisley’s Eau du Soir, I haven’t smelt this in a long time and I just want the bottle with the Eiffel Tower on it. Anyone wear this one that can weigh in?
No help here, it never worked for me. But they do lovely LE bottles, I understand the lemming!

Yep, it’s a good one!
I’m wearing Tea for Two which apparently has cinnamon. I don’t detect any, but it’s still a great scent.
Yes it is!
Costume National 21,99% sure there’s a cinnamon touch in it!
Ah, I do miss that one!
I’m wearing SL’s Rousse today, it’s cinnamon through and through!
Going to join you in that tomorrow I think.
I wish I still had my bottle of Villoresi Incensi, not only for the cinnamon note, but also because it was such an interesting cold/warm incense. Nothing else like it. I must have swapped it away long ago before I realized it was important to keep those amazing and weird gems.
Instead, I’m wearing my decant of Safran Troublant – no cinnamon, but as one reviewer on Fragrantica said: sugared ginger rose and saffron, with a milky sandalwood. That’s a great description. I so wish Safran Troublant, Tea for Two and Dzing! could make a comeback.
I still have a few drops of Villoresi Incensi in a decant that’s years old. I just smell it when I pass it in the perfume cabinet.
Exactly!
One of the Calligraphy perfumes was a close cousin to Safran Troublant. Too bad those are gone as well.
Epona for me. I swear I get a hint of cinnamon, but the notes only mention honey, must be an olfactory hallucination from the honey. I love this scent. It is my new desert island favorite. Right now my daily rotation is down to a tight three, St. Clair Casablanca, for the orange blossom beauty and so much more, Dune Vintage, because it is its mysterious freaky little self, and I can’t believe I waited so long to get some more, and this Epona, because I can’t stop sniffing my wrist, and it makes me dream of horses I have known. Happy October!
“Mysterious freakly little self” is an awesome description of Dune.
And that should have been “mysterious FREAKY little self’. Ooopsie!
My spellcheck peretually adds extra letters I did not type to my words as well. 🙂
Smellin’ fine in Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits today 🫖🍨🥰
Any resemblance at all to Ginger Bikkie?
None…
I was tidying yesterday when I found a square shaped bottle of Eau Duelle EDP about 3/4 full.
Duh.
So I will wear this and have cinnamon for tomorrow and Friday.
Especially for Donatellas’ visit.
Serendipity!
Very nice find!
I’ve been following the cinnamon thread to glean ideas for Thursday, and happily there is at least one perfume I do have. Wearing Bulgari’s blue tea on a cool and sunny day.
Love the blue tea!
Yet again not participating in the CP. No cinnamon scents here, not even any cinnamon in the house as I haven’t cooked a recipe that called for it since coming over.
Today was Ummagumma, after wearing Hiram Green Hyde yesterday. I liked Hyde, but I think I’ve got that niche covered already in my collection with Tauer Lonestar Memories. According to his website the opening is lemon and bergamot, neither of which I smelled in the least as they were overwhelmed by a huge smoky fire note. The leather was nice, though, eventually.
Tomorrow is a holiday here, but not a holiday at home, so I’ll be working and none of the stores will be open. Monday was the opposite…all the Canadian holidays fall on Mondays this fall, which doesn’t work well when all the museums here are closed on Mondays. Sigh.
Perpetually out of sync! That’s a shame.
Wearing L de Lolita Lempicka. I’d forgotten the cinnamon note in it, and how much I enjoy it. It reminds me oddly of an angel food cake but a very sophisticated version.
That one had such a beautiful bottle!
You smell wonderful, I’m planning to wear that one tomorrow.
I’m in Eau Lente today for another Diptyque with cinnamon.
You smell fantastic!
SOTD = Chanel No.19 EDP
No cinnamon here, at all. On the 4 in-person days, I wore 2 spritzes of No.19 EDP each day as I did not want to scare off anybody.
As of 5:10 PM Eastern, I am done ✅ with my 40 hours of civil mediation training. Overall, it was fabulous! I now need to review my notes and also read through the voluminous materials which I was not able to do because … some of us never got it before the first day of class! Anyway, more to talk about tomorrow!
Congratulations on completing your civil mediation training! 🎉
Congratulations – that is impressive! 🙂
Good for you! Do you have to take a test or anything like that?
Congratulations on completing the training! 💯
No cinnamon in my SOTD today. Record high temp set down at DIA (Denver International Airport) this afternoon. Too warm for spicy! Got Fire Weather warnings in quite a few places as well.
SOTD = Fzotic Five Squared from The Sample Stash. Very nice citrus and woody scent. Perfect for temps right around 90.
Oh my, that’s too warm for October. Hope you get some rain soon!
Yeah, that’s about 15 degrees above what’s typical. Things are getting crispy now.
At this rate, might get snow before any more rain falls.
100 degrees today, plus all day in-person meetings = no. 5 l’eau. Boy am I tired!
Gosh, just thinking about 100 degrees makes me tired. Rest well tonight!
Yikes. That’s roasty!
For the CP Apercu edp, and I am noticing sweet spices in the oakmoss cloud. I enjoy it, but among the few Houbigant scents I know, I like Chantilly best.
Aha, another one with cinnamon I forgot! Have not worn that in ages.
An oakmoss cloud sounds so good!
