Friday scent of the day 4/1

Posted by Robin on 1 April 2022 225 Comments

Rabbit rabbit rabbit! Welcome to April and happy April Fools Day. Our community project for today: wear your most-fun-ever perfume. (This is a repeat from 2016.)

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 Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane. When it fades later, I might layer on some Blackbird Y06-S, or maybe I’ll switch to Demeter Beetroot…

Friday scent of the day 3/25

Posted by Robin on 25 March 2022 182 Comments

It’s Friday, International Waffle Day, and the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Birthdays today: Flannery O’Connor, Sarah Jessica Parker, Aretha Franklin. Our community project for today is Dealer’s Choice, edition 6 (variation)… pick a project you liked from a past Dealer’s Choice project, and do that project. You can find prior editions (and choose your project by looking through the comments) here….edition 1, edition 2, edition 3, edition 4 or edition 5.

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 went with a suggestion by pyramus from edition 5: play nice (wear a fragrance which, while it still bears the stamp of the perfumer’s art, is more or less guaranteed to offend no-one), and I picked Hermès Eau Claire des Merveilles…

Happy Friday and happy World Sleep Day! Birthdays: Charley Pride, Queen Latifah. Our community project for today: wear a green perfume (this is a repeat from 2014).

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 sticking with my choice from yesterday…Gobin Daudé Sève Exquise. I’d sort of forgotten how wonderful it is…

Friday scent of the day 3/11

Posted by Robin on 11 March 2022 262 Comments

It’s Friday and the two year anniversary of the day the WHO declared the Covid-19 pandemic. Our community project for today: wear whatever fragrance you think fits the occasion.

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.

It’s probably not exactly a celebratory day for many of us, I’m sure, but I am happy to have made it this far and to be on what feels like my first real vacation since early 2020. I will be in Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum tonight and will raise a glass to all the people who helped keep me and my family safe for the past two years…

Friday scent of the day 3/4

It’s Friday and National Grammar Day. Our community project for today: to mark Women’s History Month, wear a perfume by your favorite female perfumer. (In 2018 we marked the occasion by wearing a fragrance by perfumer Germaine Cellier or Josephine Catapano.)

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 D’Orsay Vouloir être ailleurs (formerly Tilleul) from perfumer Olivia Giacobetti…
