Friday scent of the day 3/25

Posted by Robin on 25 March 2022 182 Comments

It’s Friday, International Waffle Day, and the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Birthdays today: Flannery O’Connor, Sarah Jessica Parker, Aretha Franklin. Our community project for today is Dealer’s Choice, edition 6 (variation)… pick a project you liked from a past Dealer’s Choice project, and do that project. You can find prior editions (and choose your project by looking through the comments) here….edition 1, edition 2, edition 3, edition 4 or edition 5.

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 went with a suggestion by pyramus from edition 5: play nice (wear a fragrance which, while it still bears the stamp of the perfumer’s art, is more or less guaranteed to offend no-one), and I picked Hermès Eau Claire des Merveilles…

Tuesday scent of the day 3/22

It’s Tuesday and World Water Day. Happy 91st to Mr. William Shatner! What fragrance are you wearing?

My community project today is from Dealer’s Choice edition 2, and it comes from chocolatemarzipan8: “NST camaraderie” (wear a fragrance that was given to you by an NSTer). So thanks to a very kind reader, I’m in original Bvlgari Omnia. My matchy-matchy tea is Upton Yunnan Golden Monkey brewed with cacao husks and finished with a splash of cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg.

Reminder: 3/25 will be Dealer’s Choice, edition 6 (variation)…
