Happy Holidays!

Posted by Robin on 23 December 2020 528 Comments

Happy Holidays (and if you’re reading this on Wednesday, happy Festivus for the Rest of Us)! We’ll be back on Saturday.

In the meantime, feel free to talk about whatever you like: what perfume you’re wearing today, what you’re cooking (or eating) over the holidays, anything at all.

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Friday scent of the day 12/18

Posted by Robin on 18 December 2020 319 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s also World Arabic Language Day and International Migrants Day, plus Ugly Christmas Sweater Day. And a few birthdays: Paul Klee, Fletcher Henderson, Ossie Davis, Jacques Pépin. Our community project for today: we’re doing Best of 2020…wear one of your favorite fragrance releases of 2020.

I got nothing for the community project: I paid pretty much zero attention to new releases this year. I’m wearing a new release though, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Sweet Pine Tar.

Reminder: 12/25 is Christmas…

It’s Friday and the 2nd night of Hanukkah. Also, International Mountain Day, and in Argentina, Día Nacional Del Tango. Happy 89th birthday to Rita Moreno! Our community project for today: wear a perfume with violet, 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 Lush Kerbside Violet.

Friday scent of the day 12/4

Happy Friday and happy National Cookie Day! Our community project for today: do what you like with the National Cookie Day theme, and feel free to link to your favorite recipe.

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 Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Black Perfecto, because several people have mentioned it here lately, and because surely there are the makings of a decent cookie in there somewhere. (Dried Cherry and Almond Cookies with Vanilla Icing from Giada De Laurentiis?)

Reminder: on 12/11, wear a perfume with violet, if you have one…

Happy Black Friday / Buy Nothing Day! (It’s also Native American Heritage Day, and here are 3 birthdays for you: James Agee, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Nye.) Our community project for today: pick your Black Friday poison…wear the last fragrance you bought, wear a cheap thrill, or wear a fragrance you love but refuse to buy in a full size because it’s too expensive.

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 wearing the last fragrance I bought, Maya Njie Vanilj…
