Tuesday scent of the day 1/26

Posted by Robin on 26 January 2021 319 Comments

It’s Tuesday and Peanut Brittle Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m not feeling great this morning and will possibly be going back to bed soon. If I felt better, and if I had any, I’d wear Angel Liqueur de Parfum. But since I don’t, no points for me today.

Reminder: on 1/29, wear a fragrance by (Thierry) Mugler, if you have one…

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 Chanel Bois des Iles (extrait) for The Gingerbread Man.

Happy Almost-Friday and happy International Sweatpants Day! It’s also Christian Dior’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?

The Robber Bridegroom is a gruesome tale from the Brothers Grimm, and Eudora Welty took its bones, moved the scene to Mississippi, and added several non-politically-correct elements for her novella of the same name. I’m wearing Diptyque Oyedo for the main character, who is sent to fetch herbs by her evil step-mother, thus setting the action in motion.

Reminder: 1/22 will be Fairy Tale Friday…

Hump Day, plus the International Day of Acceptance, Cheese Lovers Day and Penguin Awareness Day. Birthdays: Lead Belly, Joy Adamson, David Lynch. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Honoré des Prés I Love Les Carottes for The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Does Peter Rabbit qualify as a fairy tale or fable? I don’t know, and I’m already running late.

Reminder: 1/22 will be Fairy Tale Friday…
