Posted by Robin on 13 August 2020 169 Comments

Happy Almost-Friday and happy International Lefthanders Day! What fragrance are you wearing?

Success: I finally found my Kerosene Unforsaken. Boy I wish they would do a travel size.

Wednesday scent of the day 8/12

Posted by Robin on 12 August 2020 235 Comments

Hump Day, World Elephant Day and International Youth Day. Birthdays: Radclyffe Hall, Pat Metheny. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m taking points in a Guerlain creamsicle: one spray of Spiritueuse Double Vanille, two sprays of Mandarine Basilic. If I had Demeter Condensed Milk on hand, it would be perfect. (Then again, I could just get Demeter Orange Cream Pop.)

Reminder: 8/14 is Creamsicle Day! Wear a creamsicle fragrance if you have one…

Tuesday scent of the day 8/11

Happy Teapot Tuesday! It also happens to be International Afternoon Tea Week, which I think mostly means you’re allowed a treat with your tea. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am still looking for my Kerosene Unforsaken, so meantime I’m in a dab of Kerosene Black Vines. No points for me but Black Vines always makes me smile. Tea is a blend of Numi Chinese Breakfast and Shangri-La Estate black tea (Nepal, from Upton).

Happy World Lion Day, and a very happy 60th to Antonio Banderas. (Sorry, for the rest of us it’s just Monday.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Hermès Myrrhe Églantine, because Tiffanie mentioned it yesterday.

Friday scent of the day 8/7

Posted by Robin on 7 August 2020 274 Comments

Happy Playlist Friday! Our community project for today: name a favorite song, and wear a perfume that fits the song. (We did this project twice in 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.

It wasn’t my original plan — which may or may not have involved Bob Dylan — but I decided I need something happy today, so: Stevie Wonder Don’t You Worry ’bout a Thing, and I’m pairing it with the perfect no-worries, lazy-summer-day fragrance, Hermès Brin de Réglisse.
