Monday scent of the day 4/12

Posted by Robin on 12 April 2021 207 Comments

Monday, perhaps a bit too soon? It’s also Licorice Day, and we have a few birthdays: Herbie Hancock, David Letterman, David Cassidy. What fragrance are you wearing?

Me: celebrating Licorice Day in Guerlain Anisia Bella.

Reminder: 4/16 will be Spring clean…

Friday scent of the day 4/9

Posted by Robin on 9 April 2021 395 Comments

Happy Antiquities Friday! (It’s also Marc Jacobs’ birthday, National Unicorn Day, National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day and National Winston Churchill Day. And, RIP Prince Philip.) Our community project for today: wear the oldest scent you own (you can interpret this as you like — the one you’ve owned the longest? worn the longest? the earliest launch date? whatever). Thanks to pyramus for the idea!

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.

Thursday scent of the day 4/8

It’s Almost-Friday, National Zoo Lovers Day, International Romani Day, plus Jacques Brel’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?

Points for me: I’m in Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Colonia / Queen’s Cologne, reportedly developed in 1533 for Caterina de’ Medici.

Reminder: 4/9 will be Antiquities Friday…

Wednesday scent of the day 4/7

Posted by Robin on 7 April 2021 149 Comments

It’s Hump Day, No Housework Day (put down that mop!), Billie Holiday’s birthday, and World Health Day (the theme for 2021: “Let’s build a fairer, healthier world for everyone”). What fragrance are you wearing?

I am currently semi-cheating with Annick Goutal Mandragore, which is at least vaguely suggestive of something ancient?

Reminder: 4/9 will be Antiquities Friday…

Tuesday scent of the day 4/6

Posted by Robin on 6 April 2021 194 Comments

It’s Tuesday, plus New Beer’s Eve and Tartan Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

Once I wake up a bit more, my plan is vintage Jicky, which I’m pretty sure boasts the earliest launch date (1889!) in my collection.

Reminder: 4/9 will be Antiquities Friday…
