Tuesday scent of the day 7/20

Posted by Robin on 20 July 2021 182 Comments

It’s Tuesday, International Chess Day and Gregor Mendel’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Voyage d’Hermès for the canned gin and tonics in season 2 of Fleabag. Update: I forgot (again) to report my tea. It’s Dikom Estate Assam from Upton, with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Reminder: 7/23 will be Sitcom Friday…

Monday, plus Daiquiri Day if that helps. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Hiram Green Vetiver, which I found too much in hot weather last week. It’s just right this morning (it’s cool enough here to open the windows this morning, although I imagine we’ll have the a/c on by early afternoon).

Reminder: 7/23 will be Sitcom Friday…

Friday scent of the day 7/16

Posted by Robin on 16 July 2021 222 Comments

It’s Nordic Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance inspired by, or made by a brand from, one of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden).

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’m in Maya Njie Vanilj. Jessica says Vanilj is a sibling to the brand’s Nordic Cedar fragrance, and features a “distinctly traditional Swedish combination of Vanilla and Cardamom”. And yes, I smell delicious…

Thursday scent of the day 7/15

Happy Almost-Friday! (Birthdays: Rembrandt, Iris Murdoch, Linda Ronstadt.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m taking the teensiest fraction of a point for Vilhelm Parfumerie Purple Fig, a fragrance inspired by Paris, developed by a French perfumer based in New York for a brand (also based in New York, I think?) founded by Jan Ahlgren, who was born in Sweden and lived in New York for a time before moving to Paris. Ok? (If I had any of the brand’s Stockholm 1978, I would wear it.)

Wednesday scent of the day 7/14

It’s Hump Day and Shark Awareness Day, plus, happy Bastille Day! What fragrance are you wearing?

If I had any Geir Ness Laila (“the clear essence of Norway”), I’d wear it, but instead I’m celebrating Bastille Day with Guerlain Cologne du 68.

Reminder: 7/16 will be Nordic Friday….
