Friday scent of the day 1/21

Posted by Robin on 21 January 2022 304 Comments

It’s Friday and Christian Dior’s birthday (also, International Sweatpants Day, and Dior can help you with that). Our community project for today: wear a Dior fragrance. (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 in vintage Diorissimo…Eau de Toilette on one arm and Eau de Cologne on the other. They are blending nicely with the paperwhites on my windowsill…

Friday scent of the day 1/7

Posted by Robin on 7 January 2022 277 Comments

It’s the first Friday in January. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Very Peri, Pantone’s color of the year for 2022. (“Displaying a carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit, inquisitive and intriguing PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives. Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light. We are living in transformative times. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through.”)

I was pretty much stumped with Very Peri until Kanuka mentioned hyacinth yesterday. I’m in L’Artisan Jacinthe des Bois. We have 3 inches of snow on the ground so it’s also working as ‘a new vision as we rewrite our lives’ and placing ‘the future ahead in a new light’…

Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s also Friday, the seventh day of Christmas (swans a-swimming) and the sixth day of Kwanzaa (Kuumba: creativity). Our community project for today: do what you were going to do anyway…wear the perfect fragrance to celebrate, share joy and look forward to 2022.

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 don’t know that I’ll stick with it through tonight, but this morning I tried to come up with a good luck charm for the coming year, and the first thing that came to mind was Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré.

Reminder: on 1/7, wear a fragrance to match Very Peri, Pantone’s color of the year for 2022…

Happy Best Buy Friday! Our community project for today: wear your favorite fragrance purchase of 2021. 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.

I didn’t buy much this year, but I finally have a little bottle of Tauer Perfumes Phi — Une Rose de Kandahar.
