Friday scent of the day 11/16

Posted by Robin on 16 November 2018 289 Comments

Happy Friday and happy International Day for Tolerance! Our community project for today: wear a savory perfume (something spicy, herbal, salty, or otherwise foody but not sweet). Thanks to Jalapeno for the suggestion!

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 the summer herb / tomato garden, with Parfum d’Empire Corsica Furiosa…

Friday, plus World Freedom Day and Chaos Never Dies Day. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance by Carthusia, CB I Hate Perfume, Comptoir Sud Pacifique or Czech & Speake, if you have one. Partial credit for any other small-ish brand that starts with the letter C.

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 doing spice, in Comptoir Sud Pacifique L’Eau du Gouverneur. I could wear this for next Friday’s project too, and maybe I will…

I went with the almost-apple-pie Ambre Narguilé from Hèrmes…

Friday and Pumpkin Day! Our community project for today: step out of your comfort zone by wearing a perfume that you find challenging. Thank you to Lucasai for the suggestion!

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 Frédéric Malle Une Fleur de Cassie, a fragrance Angie correctly labeled “not for beginners”. I have never liked it, and apparently I still don’t. I’ll probably switch before the morning is out…

Friday scent of the day 10/19

Yep, it’s Friday! Our community project for today: for Family History Month, wear a fragrance that someone in your family wore, or that reminds you of someone in your family, or that reflects your family history in some way.

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.

If I had any Jean Naté, I’d wear that for my grandmother (and I can still smell it clearly in my brain, even though she has been dead for many years).

Unless I’m forgetting something, it was our only fragrance overlap…
