Friday scent of the day 10/2

Posted by Robin on 2 October 2020 264 Comments

It’s Friday and the International Day of Non-Violence, but we’re on the back roads by the rivers of my memory… Our community project for today: do what you like with the lyric from the 1968 song Gentle on My Mind. Thanks go to Mossyberry for the suggestion!

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 Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze, really just because the name seemed a good fit. I’m not sure I deserve any huge number of points but I do smell good…

Thursday scent of the day 10/1

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! Welcome to October, and happy International Day of Older Persons. (Plus, the freebiemeet is still open, and Donatella will be dropping by shortly). What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Sweet Pine Tar, one of her “isolation meditation experience” fragrances. It is absolutely perfect.

Reminder: on 10/2, our subject is On the back roads by the rivers of my memory…

Hump Day and International Translation Day. Plus, it’s the last day in September — don’t forget your rabbits tomorrow (and Donatella will be dropping by). What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Hermès Brin de Réglisse, which smells like a good fit with the song although I will need a latte before I can tell you why.

Tuesday scent of the day 9/29

Posted by Robin on 29 September 2020 240 Comments

It’s Tuesday and World Heart Day. Take care of your heart, folks! Birthdays today: Elizabeth Gaskell, Colin Dexter and Diana Vreeland. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am in Maya Njie Vanilj, which I bought unsniffed after Jessica’s review. I literally put it on 2 minutes ago, but so far, yum, cardamom. (And speaking of buying unsniffed, don’t, and Donatella will be dropping by on Thursday.) Tea at the moment is Organic Tippy Colombian from Upton, with a little shave of nutmeg.

It’s Monday, plus International Day for the Universal Access to Information, World Rabies Day and Freedom from Hunger Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am commando for a visit to the dentist. When I get back, I will pick something from what all you good people are wearing.

Reminder: on 10/2, our subject is On the back roads by the rivers of my memory…
