It’s Tuesday, World Rainforest Day and Onion Ring Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m channeling Morocco courtesy of Parfum d’Empire Azemour Les Orangers. It’s too early for Moroccan mint tea, so I’m drinking a few cups of Numi Chinese Breakfast to get my caffeine up first.
Reminder: on 6/25, we’re marking Anthony Bourdain’s birthday…
It’s Monday, 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’m wearing a dab of Comme des Garçons + Pharrell Williams Girl.

Happy Bottle Porn Friday (edition 3)! Our community project for today: wear something you bought in part or in full because of the bottle, or a fragrance you think has a beautiful (or otherwise perfect) bottle. Thanks to michael and happy888cat, who suggested we repeat this project (we already did it in 2015 and 2017).
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 Annick Goutal Mandragore, in the original purple gadroon bottle. I always thought that everything about the bottle — the color, the shape, the label hanging from a ribbon — was perfect for the scent, and I do appreciate the scent much more now than I did when I reviewed it in 2005. The men’s packaging with the gold pattern on the bottle was even better, but I own the women’s because that’s what I found at discount. I do not love the newer Goutal packaging, not that it matters since they don’t make Mandragore these days (other than Mandragore Pourpre)…
It’s Almost-Friday (and not a moment too soon). Also, the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Hermès Eau Claire des Merveilles, which I probably would have bought no matter what bottle they’d used, but the bottle is perfect.
Reminder: on 6/18, we’re doing edition 3 of Bottle Porn Friday, by request…
It’s Hump Day and Bloomsday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Burberry’s The Beat Intense Elixir, a perfectly decent fragrance that I would never have bought if it was in a plain glass bottle.
