Thursday scent of the day 8/20

Posted by Robin on 20 August 2020 315 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also National Lemonade Day and World Mosquito Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Gobin Daudé Sève Exquise, from a bottle that is not quite in perfect condition. I don’t know that it is really a unicorn, but I wouldn’t own it if I hadn’t found it half price at Takashimaya in New York. Now Gobin Daudé and Takashimaya are both gone.

Reminder: 8/21 will be Captured Unicorn Friday…

Wednesday scent of the day 8/19

It’s Tuesday and Pinot Noir Day. Happy 84th birthday to Robert Redford! What fragrance are you wearing?

I am 99% better, but I’m taking one more day perfume-free after feeling sick on Sunday. Tea at the moment is a mixed blend of Upton black tea samples that I’m trying to use up, brewed with a sprinkle of cardamom.

Reminder: 8/21 will be Captured Unicorn Friday. Wear a perfume that you thought would be impossible to get, but you managed it. If you have not yet captured a unicorn, wear anything you like and tell us about the unicorn you’d like to catch. Suggested by Undina…

That was fast — it’s Monday again. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am commando. I was sick yesterday (and did get a Covid-19 test in the afternoon), and am taking it easy today even though I feel much better.

Happy Friday and happy Creamsicle Day! Our community project for today: wear a creamsicle fragrance, if you have one. (And you can find lots of suggestions — including layering combos — in the comments to 5 perfumes: consider the creamsicle).

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 Fendi Theorema, of course…
