Happy World Sleep Day, and happy Amber Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with an amber note.
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 L’Ambre des Merveilles. It’s about as heavy on the amber as I generally go. Most of you will out-amber me today, I’m sure…
It’s Friday! But is it real, or is it Memorex? Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that photorealistically duplicates the smell of something else. Hat tip to Jalapeno for the idea!

I looked really hard for my CB I Hate Perfume At The Beach, but no joy, so I’m in Memory of Kindness. I am a walking tomato plant. Soon, I’ll be a driving tomato plant — I’m off to fetch my son home from college for a week. That means no more posts today…
Happy Uncle Serge Day! Our community project for today: wear something by Serge Lutens (a repeat from 2014).

Happy Library Friday! Our community project for today: honor National Library Month with any sort of fragrance association you can think of.

I’m in Diptyque Volutes, because it smells so nice, but also because it has an opopanax note, and the word opopanax features in a vocabulary-oriented chapter of Anne Fadiman’s Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader, one of my favorite books about books. Ex Libris came to mind for this project not only because it is, well, bookish, but also because the next book I’m expecting via the wonder of inter-library loan is Fadiman’s latest, The Wine Lover’s Daughter.
Reminder: 3/2 will be Uncle Serge Day…
Happy Friday, and Gong Xi Fa Cai! Our community project for today: we’re celebrating the Lunar New Year…wear an auspicious fragrance to ring in the Year of the (Earth) Dog.

My tenuous link to the holiday: Madonna (yes, that Madonna), is an Earth Dog (she was born in 1958, the last Earth Dog year.) Before Madonna did her own fragrance, she wore Robert Piguet Fracas. I know where my Fracas is, which is more than I can say for my sample of Truth or Dare, if I even still have it. So, Fracas it is…
