Posted by Robin on 1 January 2016 477 Comments

Très bonne année 2016

Welcome to 2016! Our community project for today: wear the perfume that will bring you luck, health and prosperity in 2016.

What fragrance did you pick? And was it an easy choice, or did you have to give it some serious thought?

As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

I’m starting the year with some warm weather beauty — Ormonde Jayne Frangipani. It was literally the first perfume that popped into my head weeks ago when I added this project to the list.

Reminder: next week on 1/8 we’re doing Woodfest Friday…

Cartier Évasions Joaillières bracelet

It’s Best Buy Friday! Our community project for today: wear your favorite fragrance purchase of 2015. If you didn’t buy anything this year, pick a favorite from a prior year.

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.

Happy Friday everyone! Our community project for today: wear a perfume by Pierre Bourdon, if you have one. I know lots of you said you didn’t, but do chime in with your scent of the day anyway!

Reminder: next week on 12/18 we’re doing Best Buy Friday…

Diorissimo, Rene Gruau

It’s Black Friday! Stay safe, people. As our community project today, we are giving thanks: wear a perfume you’re thankful for. (suggested by thegoddessrena)

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.

Duh, I’m in Diorissimo! Thank you, Edmond Roudnitska, for spending all that time in your garden smelling muguet. And I’m extra thankful: I have two concentrations of vintage, both sent to me as gifts by very kind people…
