Wednesday scent of the day 8/16

Posted by Robin on 16 August 2023 122 Comments

It’s Hump Day plus National Rollercoaster Day. Birthdays: T. E. Lawrence, Wallace Thurman, Georgette Heyer, Bill Evans and Madonna. What fragrance are you wearing?  

(I’m still on vacation and commando; if I was home, and if I still had any, I’d be in CB I Hate Perfume Memory of Kindness.)

Reminder: on 8/18, wear a fragrance that features a note that you might eat in a salad, or that you might grow in a vegetable garden…

Tuesday scent of the day 8/15

Posted by Robin on 15 August 2023 94 Comments

It’s Tuesday and National Relaxation Day. Birthdays: Sir Walter Scott, E. Nesbit, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Julia Child, Oscar Peterson, Jimmy Webb. What fragrance are you wearing?

(I’m still on vacation and commando; if I was home, my plan was Guerlain Mandarine Basilic: when we kept a vegetable garden, basil was a staple crop, to be eaten fresh in caprese and then frozen as pesto to last the winter.) Tea at the moment is Numi Chinese Breakfast with a splash of milk.

Reminder: on 8/18, wear a fragrance that features a note that you might eat in a salad, or that you might grow in a vegetable garden…

Monday scent of the day 8/14

It’s Monday and Creamsicle Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m on vacation at the lake: perfume here is a huge mistake, you’ll just make the mosquitoes happy. So I’m doing fantasy perfume wearing this week. Today, for one of my favorite salad ingredients, pomegranate, I’ll pretend I’m in Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir.

Reminder: on 8/18, wear a fragrance that features a note that you might eat in a salad, or that you might grow in a vegetable garden…

Friday scent of the day 8/11

Posted by Robin on 11 August 2023 121 Comments

It’s Friday! Plus in Japan, it’s National Mountain Day. Birthdays today: Alex Haley, Steve Wozniak, Inès de La Fressange, Joe Jackson. Our community project for today: wear an incense fragrance, if you have one. (This is a repeat from 2015.)

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 heading north today (to my sister’s lake house in Massachusetts, so I’ll be out of touch most of the day) in a light spritz of L’Artisan Parfumeur Passage d’Enfer…

Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also National S’mores Day and World Lion Day. Birthdays: Betsey Johnson, Antonio Banderas. RIP Robbie Robertson. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in a tiny dab of Sonoma Scent Studio Incense Pure.

Reminder: on 8/11, wear an incense fragrance, if you have one…
