Friday scent of the day 3/31

It’s Swap Love / Blind Love Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance you acquired via a swap, OR, wear a fragrance you bought unsniffed. Double bonus points for wearing one of each, triple bonus points for a Blind Swap Love. If you don’t swap or buy unsniffed, just wear a fragrance you love. Thanks to Pixel 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 wearing my first ever blind purchase, and still all these years later, my most successful — Carthusia Mediterraneo. I used that bottle right up and bought a replacement. It took me a good long while to learn the lesson that I wasn’t always going to love what I bought unsniffed, and that in fact, I wasn’t very good at buying unsniffed…

Dior Vernis Spring 2017

(PSA: the swapmeet is open through Tuesday — there are still lots of goodies up for swap, plus some unclaimed freebies!)

It’s Friday, and it’s (supposedly) spring! Our community project for today: wear one of your “top 10 of spring” fragrances (unless it’s fall where you are, in which case wear one of your “top 10 of fall” scents).

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, of course. Just as well, it could be a long wait before my lily of the valley start blooming…

St Patrick's Day Rainbow

Happy Friday, and Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! (It’s also World Sleep Day. Do get some sleep.) Our community project for today: wear a perfume by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, 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.

My pick: Donna Karan Black Cashmere, which has made a good showing here over the past week. Bet I have more twins today…

Barrel House Distilling Company Oak Rum

Happy Booze Cruise Friday! (Plus, National Mario Day, Harriet Tubman Day and International Bagpipe Day.) Our community project for today: wear a perfume with a booze note. Thanks to Koenigsberg 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.

My drink of choice today is rum, in the form of Serge Lutens Chêne. Perfect for what turned out to be a cold, snowy morning…

Friday scent of the day 3/3

It’s Freaky Friday! Our community project for today is Let Your Freak Frag Fly — wear your oddest fragrance. Thanks to Monkeytoe 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 smelling fantastic, and only just ever so slightly like fox pee, in Serge Lutens Miel de Bois. I’m not sure it’s really my oddest fragrance, but it was the first thing that came to mind this morning. (The second was Lush Voice of Reason, and I briefly considered layering, and decided, nope.)

Reminder: on 3/10 we’re taking the Booze Cruise…
