A quick materials-oriented spot for Givenchy Irresistible Nude Velvet.
Friday scent of the day 1/3
Happy Friday! It’s also the 10th day of Christmas (lords a-leaping), plus National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day. Birthdays: Lucretia Mott and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s color of the year for 2025: “For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort. // Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
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 Bvlgari Omnia (hat tip to SheriG yesterday), which ticks several boxes for Mocha Mousse: brown color on bottle, chocolate note, “thoughtful indulgence”, “unpretentious”…
The number-one spot
The number-one spot, perhaps unsurprisingly, went to Sol de Janeiro, which was previously reported by WWD to be on track to exceed $650 million in sales for 2023. The brand is widely credited for spurring the fragrance mist boom, and has also sparked a number of dupe and look-alike products on the market.

The daily lemming
I might just need one: the Mac and Cheese candle from Southlake Gifts. "The Macaroni and Cheese Candle Bowl is perfect for those with carb cravings without finding the perfect recipe. This handmade macaroni and cheese candle comes in a porcelain bowl and smells just like the real thing. Take it home and wake up feeling cheesy!" $20 for 160g at Nordstrom.
