Friday scent of the day 9/9

Posted by Robin on 9 September 2022 233 Comments

It’s Friday and Leo Tolstoy’s birthday. RIP Queen Elizabeth. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with a hay note. If you prefer, substitute any old cereal grain, or anything that calls to mind a fall harvest (the Harvest Moon will be on Saturday). (We did a similar project in 2016.)

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.

It’s Tuesday, plus Coffee Ice Cream Day and Read a Book Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

My husband tested positive for covid last night, and now I’ve overslept (I was negative last night, we’ll see how long that lasts). I haven’t got a fragrance yet but I’m having a cup of tea from the random caddy where I throw bits of leftover from other bags — I’m waiting for an order from Upton.

Reminder: on 9/9, wear a fragrance with a hay note…

Friday scent of the day 9/2

Posted by Robin on 2 September 2022 209 Comments

Happy Friday, and happy (almost) Labor Day Weekend! (Also, Blueberry Popsicle Day, plus a few birthdays: Keanu Reeves, Horace Silver, Salma Hayek, Billy Preston). Our community project for today is a repeat from last year: take a break from community projects and wear what you want.

I’m wearing Tauer Perfumes Rose Delight Body Oil…
