It's Hump Day and David Bowie’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
So Denmark takes the problem of food waste seriously, or at least, way more seriously than we seem to here in the US. In Copenhagen there is even a restaurant that makes all its products from discarded bananas. My scent: Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane.
Reminder: on 1/10, we're off to Denmark! Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Denmark, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Denmark, or that features a local ingredient, or ?
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Robin, how exciting to go to Denmark. Ever since I watched Borgen on Netflix I’ve wanted to visit!
LesLiesse, we do a themed Friday project every week and this week it’s Denmark…
https://freebox.it.com/scent-of-the-day-friday-community-projects-2025/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
I wish I was going myself in real life but I’m not! I loved Borgen too.
Oops! Thanks for clarification! Which reminds me to ask how do you keep track of your fragrance purchases and impressions? App? Spreadsheet? Perfume journal?
Sotd: The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire. Because apsara asked how I liked it. A bit too spicy for me. Next up wearing Abel Laundry Day on one arm then Black Anise on other to compare drydowns for Kanuka.
That was sweet of you to make it your SOTD.
I love a good spice, must get a sample soon.
Not that you were asking me, but I do mine on a spreadsheet. Just throwing in my two cents 😊
Thanks for sharing! I was thinking of doing it that way.
I also use a spreadsheet to keep track of what I try. I don’t keep detailed notes, but enough to know whether I liked something or not.
I used to keep detailed notes in a Word document, but I’ve long since given that up.
I do keep a note in Evernote that lists purchases.
I keep detailed perfume notes for both samples and full bottles of perfume in 2 separate Word documents. Which get backed up regularly and saved to an external thumb drive.
I’ve never been to Scandinavia at all, however, there were two long-running Tivoli restaurants in Arlington. In the 1990s, they specialized in gourmet food and fancy cakes. At some point they must have changed hands and began offering sandwiches instead of gourmet food. Recently, the one nearest me was remodeling and now offers Korean snacks, such as the fancy hot dogs, and mochi donuts, different flavors and fancy icings every day. Still with the fancy cakes, too! Mochi donuts are surprisingly delicious.
I might wear L’Heure Bleue this week, which Luca Turin describes as having a delicious pastry effect.
BTW, I looked up L’Heure Bleue on the Guerlain site and found this 1948 illustration by Clement Serveau from their archives:

There are several other classic ad illustrations on that page that you can open in another tab for a closer view:

Also, the most 90s possible David Bowie and Annie Lennox performance. This version has some of the rehearsal footage, which makes you wonder, where on Earth did they get their final, over the top stage performances?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wt78vnPucQ
Oh, that was a good watch this morning. I’d never seen it with the rehearsal footage before — was fun to see George Michael in there, mouthing the words along. I love Annie, and she just embodies Freddy here.
What fun, thank you!
That’s just lovely, so evocative.
That lovely illustration makes me homesick.
That Notre Dame illustration is exquisite especially in light of the magnificent service to reopen her after the fire.
Your post reminded me that I have been wanting to try mochi donuts!
Hello.
Sotd is Rabanne Fame Parfum. Pink pepper and mangoes but still kinda clean?
It’s been a while since I had them but maybe I should get a tin of Danish butter cookies for this week. My favourites are the ones with granulated sugar on top.
I love those things dipped in English breakfast tea. Yum.
Those cookies are good. Now you have me thinking about getting a tin.
Love them too! Perhaps it is too much Instagramming but I saw a story where Simeon was searching high and low for the tins and jubilantly found one. He got home and lo and behold, the tin contained sewing stuff!
Funny. They would make a good container for sewing stuff.
Happy Birthday David Bowie. I know what I’ll be cueing up on Spotify today.🕺
I’m in Livre Blanc. It’s been a bit since I’ve posted. Hope the new year is going well for everyone. Can you believe a third of January will be over this weekend?! It’s going fast. We are having our typical January bitter cold with single digit temps this morning, but I will not complain because, sun. The sun it out! And it’s shining into my east facing office window. It’s heaven.☺️ This may not seem all that remarkable but the weatherman did the statistics for our December when I watched it New Year’s Eve, and we had exactly 2 clear days in the whole month! No wonder I felt like I was slogging through. The struggle was real y’all.
January is the worst! I think I will see the sun tomorrow.
It is! But it’s also my birthday month so I can’t be too hard on it.😅 Hope you get sun tomorrow!
Ok.. maybe it’s not THE worst. I will tie it in with February. Lol.
lol, you crack me up.😂
Happy new year! We had a day of sun here, too, on Monday, but now we’re back to clouds, fog, and rain.
Ugh, it’s the worst, so hard for me to feel motivated when it’s a gray day.
Happy new year!
We have had your same weather over here so I know what you mean. We have very little snow and though we need moisture, it makes the winter go by more quickly without it.
Yeah, our snow is completely gone.
The sun is supposed to shine here tomorrow and I’ll be happy to see it, it’s been a while.
🤞🌞
Enjoy your sun, good to see you back.
Thanks Aurora!
I’ve been following the comments but I’ve missed chatting with all of you- my perfume friends.☺️
Smelling great, mtg; I wore that yesterday. It’s sure good to see the 🌞!
Thanks Gail! I really love this one, it’s an easy to wear work friendly scent for me.
I agree with you on January not being so bad. The days have become noticeably longer here, with about 25 minutes more daylight in the afternoons. Sure beats seeing the sun go down at 4:30!
I am in Rose and Cuir, which smells very pretty and fresh in the cold winter air. I like this perfume but I’m not sure the name suits the fragrance.
Have a good day, good smelling people 🙂
I love that one. You smell fabulous Carole!
I am a fan too! You smell nice.
Thanks, Kris 🙂
Another fan.
It’s a good one-easy to wear, and available at discounters. Thanks, Aurora.
I’m wearing good old Youth-Dew. One of my favorite cold weather scents.
PriscillaE, I love Youth Dew – it just smells amazing. Have a good day 🙂
That’s my MIL signature scent. I bought her a bottle for Christmas
For the CP pairing the works of Hans Christian Andersen who is Danish with his book the snow queen.
MFK Aqua Universalis Forte
Pure clean snowflakes melting on your skin.
Oh, thanks–Andersen is a great inspiration!
Just wanted to check again with you to see if you wanted decants of Shalimar-Iris and Jasmine. I know you mentioned them.
The Jasmine would be great! Can I have your email again?
It is k r is p o n t o (no spaces between) at sio dawt midco dawt net.
Have you smelled the iris one?
The Snow Queen was one of my favourite books as a child. I had a beautiful illustrated version
I am sure you did! you are my go to person for all books 🙂
Spent time in some Honour extrait, I am about to switch over to Hedonist. Portia from Perfume Posse is doing a project of using up samples and this is something I am going to be doing as well. I have tons of samples and decants that need to be used up.
I should join you in that project…
I wore a sample today for a similar reason, I have a rule never more than a smallish carrier bag of samples.
SOTM is TF Noir Pour Femme. I haven’t worn this in a while and it’s still a favorite, although it’s one that requires just the right mood. On me it conjures coriander, or cardamom, or something like that — maybe the kulfi note? — and that’s what keeps it from being a no-brainer. But this morning I’m enjoying it very much.
Oh you smell good, I have a couple of decants somewhere that I haven’t worn in years. I hope they haven’t evaporated.
It’s a shame they discontinued Pour Femme and kept the men’s version.
Why does TF discontinue so many good perfumes?!?
Inspired by Robin from yesterday, I’m in Diptyque L’Eau for a blast of cinnamon.
Oh yes, that one is a cinnamon bomb, very warming in winter.
Nice.
I’m trying to find ideas for Denmark and perfume but will need to keep pondering this challenge. I have been to Copenhagen once and unfortunately it was in January and was ferociously cold and wet. Tivoli was closed. I did luck out in that the big department stores were having sales and I had fun shopping there. I remember seeing numerous very elegant women in fur coats on the streets and it was so cold I envied them. One clear memory is the fancy Georg Jensen shop on a big street or square. Very beautiful designs. In fact I just visited their online shop and spent way too much time imagining that I could buy some of the stunning gold jewelry pieces there! Here, you can do it too! https://www.georgjensen.com/en-us
I’ll have to check in again later once I’ve chosen a scent for the day.
Their national flower is the daisy, and I think Georg Jensen did some daisy themed works fairly recently, which were sweet. Maybe just a modernist theme to go with all the incredible designers, or something metallic…a lot of pewter and silverware.
Good thought. There’s also that famous Royal Copenhagen blue and white dinnerware or china. I love those designs!
I have Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates that used to be very popular. I had them up in my kitchen at one time when it was blue. I think I probably have 20 of them. They used to be very expensive. I have no idea what they are worth anymore. Mine are probably 50 years old. My mother gave them to me many years ago after she took them off her wall.
Hey, I could wear Daisy one day. I have to admit I normally just wear that in warmer months, but you have to go along with the CP, right?
Right! And remember Copenhagen also has the famous Little Mermaid sculpture along the harbor, so if anyone has a perfume with mermaid associations, that’s good too!
I have a mermaid perfume!
Thanks Calypso!
Thank you, my Friday perfume is sorted now.
Since it was mentioned yesterday that Denmark grows irises, I am all in today with Shalimar-MI.
🙂
Shalimar is always a good idea
You definitely fell hard for that one, and its jasmine sibling.
I still like the iris one better, but the jasmine one is nice.
This CP is a challenge, I can’t think of anything. So I’m wearing SL Arabie on another cold snowy day.
Well you smell wonderful!
https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/lili-elbe-and-gerda-wegener/
So I’m looking at artists Lili Elbe ( who was the inspiration behind the movie The Danish Girl ) and her wife , the artist Gorda Wegener. Elbe painted landscapes, often with a bridge motif ( linking or symbolically transitioning from male to female) while Wegener did a lot of stylised, illustrative work. There’s a reproduction of a face cream image: the woman holds a mask with a tired , old face while her image is a young, smiling face. Quite creepy really. Matching it with Kelly Caleche which has a vintage “ cosmetic” vibe mixed with modernist “ sportiness”.
Thank you, fascinating article…and yes, that ad is really really creepy!
I agree about the creepiness.
Thirding the “creepy” on that ad. There’s also a rather unnerving smile on the model’s face.
I’ve been craving roses these days, so I am in FM Une Rose, layered over Acqua di Parma Rosa Nobile that I wore for the appointment with my hairdresser this morning. And now I am off to the airport smelling great! 😊
Yes, you definitely smell great!
Thank you ☺️
Safe travels NinaV!
Denmark will be cold in winter, so i wore Doe in the Snow today…. a bit lame, i know. but it is a fun scent, reminds me a bit of peach window cleaner!
Not lame at all!
Oh my goodness, the fires are something.
Lots of smoke and ash in my neighborhood as the winds go south from Santa Monica.
But I am lucky, just trees down and lost power for just a few minutes last night. And I am always ready to bug out if needed.
It’s also Elvis Presleys birthday – the man would be 90 this year.
The first time I went to Tivoli was in 1971.
I would eventually go on to work at Disney HQ and learn about and see the pictures of Walt and his brother Roy visiting Tivoli when they were designing the first theme park.
My sister and I went in 1991 on a trip from Sweden. She was charmed and lots of french fries were eaten.
SOTD will be commando I think – theres so much smoke in the air and it’s very dark out. Maybe I will just use my le labo Hinoki body cream post shower.
I hope you don’t have to bug out! Stay safe!
Thanks lillyjo!
Apsara, I’m on the Westside too. And abit late realized wearing Hypnotizing Fire was not right, but I put it on at 430am when I couldn’t sleep with the howling winds. Would you like me to mail you my sample from the discovery set? Or wait until y’all have the formal swap meet?
I hope you are safe and ready to go if needed.
No need to send a sample, I will order one with a few others I want to test – that is very kind of you.
So sorry about those fires, scary.
Good luck to you and everyone else in the vicinity of those terrible fires!
Stay safe along with any of the others that live in that area.
Stay safe apsara.
Stay safe and with windows closed, Apsara! Thinking of you and all the NSTers in the LA area.
Those fires are so scary! You are smart to have a bug out bag ready to go!
As for Disney, a long time ago, when I first moved to St Pete, there was a legit log house near me that friends of Disney owned back in the day. The daughter of the then current occupant was a friend of a friend and one day we stopped there as we were headed out somewhere together. Anyway, she showed us some doodles Disney had made on the logs in one of the rooms of the cabin! Even then (this was back in the early 80’s) I was pretty astounded. I know the cabin was removed long ago but not sure if those doodles were saved or not.
The fires are horrifying!! I hope everyone in the area is extra extra careful (as I’m sure they would be) and that the fires get controlled sooner rather than later.
Can’t believe I skipped Elvis!!
And gosh stay safe and keep us updated…
Good idea, having that bug out bag at the ready. I really hope it’s not necessary.
Stay safe apsara.
This year my (semi-)resolution to finish items for which I have a backup bottle, or really similar perfume. For instance, I’d forgotten that I had two travel sprays of Iris Poudre, so I am working on the half-empty one.
Funny as that’s what I am doing too with Iris Poudre.
Yesterday the internet was out in my area, I have no idea why, but I couldn’t post. Today I am trying to think how to link Denmark with my little perfume collection here, but not having much luck. I went to Tivoli sometime in the late ’70s, I think it was. Today I’m wearing Rhubarbe Ecarlate.
If you went to Tivoli today, what would you wear? What would you scent your 70s self with? Seriously you can do anything you like with this project.
Today I’m testing a sample of Aedes Corfu Kumquat. The opening is gorgeous — a fantastic bitter orange note with some salt water. If that opening lasted I would buy a full bottle of this, no question. But it did what citrus does and faded relatively quickly into a salty skin musk. It is a lovely musk, but not something I need a full bottle of. I’m going to give this sample another go in warmer weather and see if the citrus holds on longer then.
Tea today is Clipper Ship Lemon Chiffon, which is a nice adjacent note to the opening of the CK.
I’m looking forward to All Creatures season 5 starting this weekend.
Yay to All Creatures returning!
Yes, yay to All Creatures! Love that show.🥰
Another All Creatures fan here, it’s so soothing.
Do you find salt notes tricky to wear?
In my mind there are two kinds of salt (or I guess salt water really): beachy salt water, which has a seaweed note in it, and middle-of-the-ocean salt water, which doesn’t have that seaweed note. I generally like the latter, but the former is hit and miss (and mostly miss) for me. The salt note in Corfu Kumquat was the middle-of-ocean variety to my nose, so that aspect was fine, I just wish the citrus note lasted longer because I loved it. I got 10 minutes at best. I’m hoping it will stick around longer if I wear it in the summer.
Is salt a no-go for you?
It’s challenging. I don’t have a problem with the (supposed) caviar notes in TM Womanity. Or the salt/woody/aquatic combo of Hermes EdM Bleue. But I have tried other perfumes with salt notes in them that were Very Not Good on me.
Apple, clementine and yogurt smoothie
It’s cold for southeast England and there is a snow advisory but it’s above freezing. To work on samples today I picked Amo Ferragamo which was fine but my profumi Di Firenze agrumes scents are better and better longevity. Tonight it’s Traversée du Bosphore which smells delicious and not sickly.
Traversée du Bosphore is a tricky one for me too, it works best in the cold and definitely can get sickly and too much at other times.
Stay warm this evening!
Oh I agree, it’s a cold weather perfume for me, the rose is beautiful, I wish for more of it.
Definitely citrus fruit season here. Found some very nice looking “Sumo Mandarins” while at the grocery store today. Hoping they will be nice and sweet.
Thanks to SheriG’s mention of it yesterday, I’m wearing Cuir Améthyste today.
I looked up Danish pastries and found a few that used almond paste, so I hunted my collection for scents with an almond note and found several: Hypnotic Poison, Lolita Lempicka Fleur Defendue, Bvlgari Jasmine Noir (really??), and Omnia. I hasten to add that it was not my lame nose which discovered the almond note, but Fragrantica.
Almond paste is a great idea! Wish I had some Hypnotic Poison.
Great idea, Scaresbears
A very rushed morning here, grabbed IA Dipped in Chocolate, and taking deep calming breaths. It’s very cold here (low 20’s last night) and I’m not a fan. 🥶
Scheduled for 50 hours this week! 😳 I put the kibosh on that REAL quick!
Wow, good for you. 40 is plenty.
I do 3 12 hours shifts, so 36 hours, which is PLENTY. Period. No more. Too old. Plus, it’s just not worth it, tax wise. Not to mention mental health wise. 🤪
12 hours shifts should count double anyway. Yikes.
Some of my weather might be headed your way in the next couple of days… ❄️❄️🌬️
Thanks, friend! 🥶
We had a nice drive yesterday to visit my beloved’s mother. It’s just a short visit, and we’ll be heading home again today. I’ll be wearing Tobacco Vanille.
I’ll see if I can think of a connection with Denmark 🙂 .
I went with Lush Lord of Misrule for my SOTD since I’ve been using the shower gel for some weeks now and still hadn’t worn the perfume to go with it. I love this one, and this partial bottle was found for a great price last year.
How close is the perfume to the showergel?
It’s pretty spot on, I think, just more complex. Very long lasting. I love it.
Thanks!
Just realized I should mention I have the perfume and not the body spray! I haven’t tried the body spray so can’t comment on that one. This perfume I’m wearing was bottled in 2020.
I’m wearing Bois d’Encens a pared down perfume to go with the pared down style of Danish design.
Most of my tableware is Scandinavian, but not Danish. Come to think of it the only Danish object I own is one of my teapots. A Bodum, in stainless steel that I bought more than 20 years ago and still use regularly today.
Bodum is Danish? I didn’t know that.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodum
Bois d’Encens is wonderful!
Lush Turmeric Latte for me today, to go with the overall Scandinavian concept of Hygge.
I have been thinking about hygge to try and put something together for Friday.
I was in Denmark for a day this past summer, so I’ll try to think of something to wear related to that day. Or maybe related to Danish design, which I love. I also love Kanuka’s mention of Isak Dinesen earlier this week, I feel like that calls for Safari, which always reminded me of Out of Africa.
Commando today, I’m really busy at work and slightly frazzled. It’s a rude welcome back from my 2 weeks off.
I feel your pain, wishing you a better day tomorrow, with perfume on😀
Ugh. Hang in there!
LA fires update: Several friends have lost their homes, and I’ve lost count of those who’ve had to evacuate. My daughter’s fiancé’s family home in Topanga Canyon is in jeopardy – roof sprinklers have been activated. Keeping fingers crossed.
Haven’t had to evacuate, though I started preparing a bag in case the winds shifted.
(I must admit that I considered which perfumes I’d save.🙄) Fortunately, I think my neighborhood will be spared.
Stay safe Daniel!
I hope you continue to stay safe.
I’m glad you are ok.
I can smell the smoke today.
so sorry for the losses, I do hope you are holding up well and that the winds are kind.
Relieved to hear from you today. I hope your luck continues to hold and you won’t have to bug out.
Glad you will be spared but sorry for people affected.
Stay safe Daniel!
I’m so sorry for your friends and for the threat to your own home. Joining others in hoping you stay safe.
Cold and snowing here.
My sotd is Givenchy eaudemoiselle. A very pretty spring rose. This was a Christmas gift from my boss.
How nice! Never smelled it but if you are wearing it, it must be good!
It’s simple but very pretty!
You have the best boss for sure. I’ve often contemplated Eau Demoiselle but always felt that Eau de Givenchy filled that spot.
Eau de Givenchy is superior imo. I would love to try some of the de moiselle flankers.
How awesome is that, getting Christmas gifts from your boss??
I will be getting more snow soon enough. Went grocery shopping this afternoon while it was nice.
Smart move going during a break in the weather.
Bright and sunny this afternoon. The weather is supposed to turn tomorrow.
SOTD = 4160 Tuesdays Shadowed Veil EDP
Meh – “fresh” forest floor which I normally like but this one has something my nose does not agree with. So far, I have loved 3 out of 4 – not bad I say! Also, there must be something wrong with either my phone or IG because there’s no way for me to copy the link! If you feel like it, you can 🔍 for hajusuuri while in IG.
In other news, I went back to the mall today to get a seat cushion. The one I currently have was squashed from being used too often. Of course I had to try to see if the Christmas holiday cushion (for the back, not the butt) was still available and how much that cost since there was no barcode / label. The cashier went to look and couldn’t find anything similar and brought back an EASTER / SPRING cushion that quite frankly had nothing to do with the cushion I wanted. He said it would be $20 and I said how about $10 because it is Christmas-themed (gingerbread house, snow, peppermint swirls, Christmas lights) but he said no. Anyway, money saved, I suppose 🤷🏻♀️.
cushion drama is always fun 😅 good for your for walking away!
Wow. We would have taken 5 dollars. Trying to get rid of everything Christmas right now.
Since iris was mentioned, I’m in Orris Tattoo.
💕 love that perfume name!
sotd = Parfum d’Hermes again and again 😍
I’ve worn this scent three days running and enjoyed it very much.
I’m not often so fascinated with a perfume like this. It’s big big florals, and reminds me of vintage Ysatis which I also enjoy in small doses.
I love ylang-ylang, so that’s part of the devotion I’m feeling. And it’s just so pretty. 💖
Love ylang-ylang!
Robin, there seems to be a grammatical error in the second sentence of the second paragraph. There’s a verb missing from the sentence that begins “In Copenhagen…”
It was a bone chilling minus 3 degrees F this morning when I woke up to feed Teflon kitty her breakfast at 6:33. Glad I wore ski socks to bed! It did warm up to the mid 30’s this afternoon, so got above freezing. Made clearing the car off a lot easier.
In other weather news, I hope the LA contingent of NSTers are safe and sound. Heard about the fires. Truly terrifying.
SOTD = Tauer Perfumes Golestan, from The Sample Stash. It’s gorgeous in this snowy weather.
Minus 3 is way too cold!
More of that is coming, alas! January and February can be notoriously frigid here.
minus 3! I would stay wrapped in my heated blanket all day 😮
I get under my heated blanket a lot in the winter.
Would you believe that I don’t have ant heated blankets? But my flannel sheets are plenty cozy.
I have those too🤣 I’m always cold.
Rackin’ frackin’ typo! “Ant” should be “any”. ⬆️
I do not have good luck with Tauer fragrances and that one I thought I would love. Nope. Glad there are others that do.
Aurora has mentioned that Tauer likes to use ambroxan in his stuff. So if you have problems with that, it could be why.
I’m so glad to know this. I have only tried vanilla flash. Now I can quit thinking about trying anything else.
Did you like Vanilla Flash?
I don’t think that’s it. I did like the Tauerville ones, but the others just seemed strong and masculine leaning. Probably just me.
Golestan is gorgeous! 😍
It’s a contender for a Birthday Perfume purchase. 😉 It’s up against vintage Samsara parfum, though…
Argh, and of course I have now fixed it 30+ hours later….
Thanks as always!
What a rollercoaster 24 hours it’s been with these L.A. fires. I’ve had family forced to evacuate and others who are still on evacuation warnings, we had 2 family members, 3 dogs and 1 cat here today, with our own fate uncertain, and one SIL in Altadena whose house was one of only a handful left standing after the crazy winds. And the DH and this SIL spent the afternoon on her roof with water bottles waiting to put out embers.
Nobody is out of the woods yet and now a fire has broken out in the Hollywood Hills though thankfully the demon winds have died down.
I had no time for fragrance today but have finally put on a bit of Tom Ford Noir de Noir from a very partial bottle I recently procured. This is a heavenly scent and very soothing to me, but I sorrow for all the friends and strangers who have lost their homes and can never recoup everything. The devastation is unbelievable.
Sending all my safest wishes to you and everyone there. I can’t even imagine. I am so sorry.
Take care Denise. Hoping it calms down for you and all the others very soon.
Scary. So sorry. Wishing you all get some rain soon.
How terrifying. I’m so sorry this is happening. May the winds calm and heavy rains prevail.
Thank you everyone! We are hanging in there and the winds are gone and it’s eerily quiet and everything smells like a firepit and the air is majorly unhealthy. My heart goes out to all who are facing much greater losses.
