It’s (Teapot) Tuesday and International Dance Day. The splitmeet will be open through Sunday! Birthdays: Duke Ellington and Willie Nelson. What fragrance are you wearing?

I seem to have picked up a little head cold (hopefully that’s all it is! fingers crossed) over the weekend, so I’m commando, and drinking a cup of Numi Golden Chai.

Friday scent of the day 4/25

Posted by Robin on 25 April 2025 135 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s also National DNA Day, World Penguin Day and Ella Fitzgerald’s birthday. Our community project for today: wear a lilac fragrance, if you have one. Thanks to chocolatemarzipan8 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.

Wednesday scent of the day 4/23

It’s Wednesday, plus World Book Day, UN English Language Day and Shakespeare Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

On one arm, Parfums DelRae Panache, which I came across while looking for something else. Unfortunately this very old sample is in less than pristine shape, so this will be its last outing. On the other arm, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Joyous Neroli, which I have not announced yet (next week!) but which so far lives up to its name.

Reminder: on 4/25, wear a lilac fragrance, if you have one. Suggested by chocolatemarzipan8…
