Thursday scent of the day 10/5

Posted by Robin on 5 October 2023 118 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Teachers’ Day! (And if you’re in the UK, happy National Poetry Day!) What fragrance are you wearing?

My silly excuse for wearing Maison Francis Kurkdjian Petit Matin: Kurkdjian also did Burberry Her, and just look at that Burberry hat!

Reminder: 10/6 is Mad Hatter day…

Wednesday scent of the day 10/4

Posted by Robin on 4 October 2023 114 Comments

It’s Hump Day, plus National Taco Day, National Cinnamon Roll Day and World Animal Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m copying Gail yesterday in Lush Silky Underwear, which is a silly name and also a silly match with today’s silly hat image.

Reminder: 10/6 is Mad Hatter day…

Tuesday scent of the day 10/3

Posted by Robin on 3 October 2023 151 Comments

It’s (teapot) Tuesday, and don’t forget Donatella will be stopping by later this morning! Birthdays: Eleonora Duse, Pierre Bonnard, Thomas Wolfe, James Herriot, Chubby Checker. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’ve overslept, which is already pretty silly, and my brain is not yet awake enough to find a silly perfume to match. I will report in later! Tea at the moment is a double-strong cup of Old South Meeting House Breakfast Blend from Upton.

Reminder: 10/6 is Mad Hatter day…

Monday scent of the day 10/2

It’s Monday and the International Day of Non-Violence. The swapmeet will be open through Tuesday, and we’re expecting Donatella will be dropping by tomorrow too. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Christian Dior Eau Sauvage for what looks to be a sunny and warm fall day.

Reminder: 10/6 is Mad Hatter day…

Friday scent of the day 9/29

Posted by Robin on 29 September 2023 248 Comments

Happy Friday and happy National Coffee Day! It’s also World Heart Day and International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction. RIP Michael Gambon. Birthdays today: Elizabeth Gaskell, Colin Dexter and Diana Vreeland. Our community project for today: Wear one of Vreeland’s favorite perfumes (reportedly YSL Opium and Chanel No. 5), or wear something equally bold, or wear something from her posthumous perfume line, or take inspiration from a Diana Vreeland quote (more here), or ?

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 redoing yesterday, since I was out sick…I’m in Myrrhe Églantine for the deliciously ludicrous Vreeland quote “Why don’t you…have an elk hide trunk for the back of your car? Hermès of Paris will make this”…
