Tuesday scent of the day 7/11

Posted by Robin on 11 July 2023 110 Comments

It’s Tuesday and Free Slurpee from 7-Eleven day, plus World Population Day (that would be a little over 8 billion). Birthdays: James Abbott McNeill Whistler, EB White, Jhumpa Lahiri. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m taking points in L’Eau de L’Artisan. Tea at the moment is Upton Keemun Mao Feng organic, but I’m tired enough that I might have to switch to a latte soon.

Friday scent of the day 7/7

Posted by Robin on 7 July 2023 189 Comments

Happy Friday and happy World Chocolate Day! Our community project for today: wear a perfume with a chocolate note, with bonus credit if chocolate (or something related to chocolate) is in the name. If you don’t have a perfume with a chocolate note, partial credit for wearing something with a note you like to eat with chocolate.

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 Sarah Jessica Parker Covet. (And a little PSA: it’s been a busy week and I am terribly behind. I have not even read Wednesday’s damage poll yet. I hope to catch up by Sunday…)
