Friday scent of the day 1/29

Posted by Robin on 29 January 2021 317 Comments

It’s Friday and there are 50 more days of winter to endure. Birthdays: Edward Abbey, Anton Chekhov, Thomas Paine, Oprah Winfrey. RIP Cloris Leachman and Cicely Tyson. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance by (Thierry) Mugler, 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 Thierry Mugler Angel Eau Sucrée. It’s not matching my mood and I should have gone with Angel Muse…

Happy Fairy Tale Friday! Our community project for today: name a favorite fairy tale or fable, and wear a perfume that fits your choice. Thanks go out to therabbitsflower for the suggestion! (Wikipedia has a decent list of fairy tales if you need some inspiration; plus see the entry for fables.)

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 Chanel Bois des Iles (extrait) for The Gingerbread Man.

Reminder: on 1/29, wear a fragrance by (Thierry) Mugler, if you have one…

Friday scent of the day 1/15

Happy Friday! It’s also Martin Luther King’s birthday and we’re about halfway through meteorological winter (we won’t be halfway to the spring equinox until February 3, though). Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Ultimate Gray and/or Illuminating, Pantone’s colors of the year for 2021.

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 partially with the colors, and partially with Pantone’s description (repeated here from the community projects page) of “a message of happiness supported by fortitude”; I’m in vintage Guerlain Jicky…

Friday scent of the day 1/8

It’s Friday, and David Bowie’s birthday (he would have been 74 today). Our community project for today: if you like, pick a favorite Bowie song and wear a perfume to match. Or, just wear a fragrance that you think fits with the occasion for whatever reason.

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 Diorissimo for the song Changes, from the 1971 album Hunky Dory…

Rabbit rabbit rabbit! Happy New Year and sayonara to 2020. (It’s also the eighth day of Christmas and the last day of Kwanzaa, plus, Public Domain Day, Euro Day, and of course, National Bloody Mary Day.) Our community project for today: wear a perfume that will bring you good luck in 2021.

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 slept quite late, sorry! I’m in Fendi Theorema, again. If 2021 is half as good as Theorema I’ll be satisfied.

Reminder: 1/8 is David Bowie’s birthday…
