Friday scent of the day 12/10

Posted by Robin on 10 December 2021 228 Comments

It’s Friday and Emily Dickinson’s birthday. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with a note she mentioned in one of her poems (helpful lists here, here, here).

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 what I think of an outdoor rose: Diptyque L’Ombre dans L’Eau. (Une Rose by Frédéric Malle would have been even better, but I’m all out.)

Reminder: 12/17 will be Best Buy Friday…

It’s Friday and the sixth night of Hanukkah. Also, Joseph Conrad’s birthday, National Bartender Day and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Our community project for today: wear a perfume with a rhubarb note, if you have one.

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 Hermès Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate. When the top notes fade, I’m going to add a layer of Arielle Shoshana Saturday…

Happy Native American Heritage Day, and happy Black Friday / Buy Nothing Day! Our community project for today is Hide My Credit Card…wear a fragrance (presumably from a sample) that you’re itching to buy but don’t own yet. Thanks to Lovestosmellgood for the idea!

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 my standby “why don’t I just buy this already” favorite, Astier de Villatte Grand Chalet.

Reminder: on 12/3, we will have a community project…

Friday scent of the day 11/19

It’s Friday! In case you missed it last night, take a look at Beaver Moon lunar eclipse 2021: Amazing photos of the longest partial moon eclipse in 580 years. Whether you saw it or slept through it, it’s the subject of our community project for today: wear what you think fits.

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 did not see the moon at all last night, much less the eclipse. I did see my nephew in his first high school play (yes, he was excellent, thanks for asking). I went with Ormonde Jayne Ta’if because the image above made me think of it…

It’s Dealer’s Choice Friday, edition 5! Our community project for today: propose a theme for a Friday community project, and wear a fragrance that fits your 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 am commando, and feeling pretty crap after getting a booster yesterday evening. I am sitting this one out, and will probably sit out the rest of the day as well. I am sure I will back tomorrow for a weekend poll…
