Tuesday scent of the day 5/2

Posted by Robin on 2 May 2023 170 Comments

It’s Tuesday. A very happy birthday to Our Lady Donatella Versace. (Update: RIP Gordon Lightfoot.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m commando, and otherwise I was going to be stumped today for the community project, which I’d hoped to do in order (I do not own Demeter Parsley or Jo Malone Wild Strawberry & Parsley, and couldn’t think of any others).

Reminder: on 5/5, we’re doing Scarborough Fair Friday…

Wednesday scent of the day 4/26

Posted by Robin on 26 April 2023 265 Comments

I am very late today because my husband died unexpectedly last night. I will probably take a few days off here. Meanwhile, please do go ahead and use this thread as you would any scent of the day poll...chat happily and talk about perfume, as we always do — it will cheer me up later, really! — and I'll be back when I can.
