Friday scent of the day 9/30

Posted by Robin on 30 September 2022 158 Comments

It’s Friday and the last day of October September, oops. (Don’t forget your rabbits tomorrow, and Donatella will be dropping by on Monday, so start adding up those receipts). Our community project for today is It’s difficult, part 2…wear a fragrance that you (or someone around you?) finds difficult, for whatever reason. Suggested by Pixel, Kanuka and JB.

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 cannot remember the last time I overslept this badly, so apologies, and I am not up to wearing anything difficult either. (I had the shingles vaccine yesterday afternoon.) I’m commando at the moment and will probably put on something simple and comforting later. No points for me…

It’s Tuesday and National Chocolate Milk Day. Also, World Tourism Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

(Update: and I meant to say that it’s the last day of the swapmeet! Make those deals while you still can.)

I’m in Bruno Fazzolari Lampblack, because allo mentioned it last week. (I don’t know, does it warrant community project points?) Tea at the moment is an organic Ceylon from Idulgashinna Estate, via Upton, brewed with cacao husk and sprinkled with a shaving of nutmeg.
