Friday scent of the day 8/2

Posted by Robin on 2 August 2024 91 Comments

Ministry of Silly Walks

It’s Friday, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day and James Baldwin’s birthday. Our community project for today is Silly Friday. Wear a silly perfume, or a perfume with a silly name, or a perfume that comes in a silly bottle, or ? (Raise your hand if you are the person who suggested this!)

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 plan for today was Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame, which checks several boxes AND smells good. Unfortunately yesterday did not go to plan and today isn’t likely to either.

The Caturday lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 October 2023 16 Comments

It's been a very long time since we've done a Caturday lemming...and this one is perfect, since of course you don't need it, you're not going to buy it, but if you did buy it, at least it goes with whatever perfume you're already wearing. The (unscented) Grey Cat Stapler ("Hand painted porcelain and stainless steel stapler. The porcelain is made and painted by hand which makes it unique. Paint and color may vary slightly from piece to piece. This stapler is designed in Toulouse (France) and then manufactured in Nach's family workshop in Thailand") is $80 at Beautyhabit.

"When we saw just how quickly our Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Ultra Strong Trash Bags sold out las year, we knew we had struck a powerful nerve with fans," Brian Lutz, senior brand manager at Reynolds Consumer Products said in a press release. "This year, we wanted to reward that pumpkin spice love in an even bigger way, and so we've made Cinnamon Pumpkin Spice Trash Bags available for purchase in-store at key retailers."
