Ministry of Silly Walks

It’s Friday, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day and James Baldwin’s birthday. Our community project for today is Silly Friday. Wear a silly perfume, or a perfume with a silly name, or a perfume that comes in a silly bottle, or ? (Raise your hand if you are the person who suggested this!)

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.

My plan for today was Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame, which checks several boxes AND smells good. Unfortunately yesterday did not go to plan and today isn’t likely to either.

It’s the last Friday in July. Happy 81st to Mick Jagger! (And a very happy 79 to Helen Mirren.) Our community project for today: scent a Rolling Stones song, or scent Mick Jagger himself, or do whatever you want with the theme.

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 scenting the 1966 Stones song I Am Waiting. (Like many people, I first heard this song many years later, when Wes Anderson used it in his 1998 movie Rushmore.) I’m in Astier de Villatte Grand Chalet…

Happy Friday and happy Simplicity Day (aka Henry David Thoreau’s birthday). RIP Shelley Duvall. Our community project for today is Cologne part 2: wear a modern citrus-based cologne. (If it helps start you off, see 5 perfumes: (great) new wave summer colognes.)

Happy Friday! It’s also National Graham Cracker Day — s’mores, anyone? Birthdays: Jean Cocteau, Bill Watterson. Our community project for today is Cologne part 1: wear a classic citrus-based cologne. (If it helps start you off, see 5 perfumes: (great) old school summer colognes.)

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 doing day 2 of Eau de Guerlain, just the thing for the hot and sticky weather we’re having at the moment…
