Friday scent of the day 6/24

Posted by Robin on 24 June 2022 178 Comments

Happy Friday and happy Midsummer 2022! (The solstice was on the 21st, but traditional Midsummer, in some countries, anyway, is celebrated today). Our community project for today: wear what you’d wear to dance around a Maypole or light a bonfire on the beach, or whatever you think fits.

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.

We did not make it to Montreal again (boo hiss to Air Canada!!) but after five wasted hours in the airport, we repacked and reoriented and got on the road: we’re now at the beach. I’m commando because I remembered to add a bathing suit to my luggage, but perfume did not even cross my mind. It looks like we will have good weather this weekend, and some day, maybe, I will make it to Canada…

Thursday scent of the day 6/23

Posted by Robin on 23 June 2022 110 Comments

It’s Almost-Friday, Let It Go Day and United Nations Public Service Day. Birthdays: Alan Turing, June Carter Cash, Frances McDormand. What fragrance are you wearing?

Unless our flight is cancelled again, it’s going to be a travel day for me — we are off to Montreal for our belated anniversary trip. I’ll be gone until Monday; posting will be sparse until Tuesday. And, I’ll be mostly commando because we are traveling light. At the moment, though, I’m in a little spritz of Hermès Eau Claire des Merveilles.

Reminder: on 6/24 we’ll celebrate Midsummer 2022…

It’s Tuesday, plus World Music Day and the International Day of Yoga. Plus, happy solstice and enjoy the longest day of the year (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, that is). What fragrance are you wearing?

I’ve got Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Electric Summer on one arm and Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Kale on the other. Tea at the moment is an iced latte.
