Friday scent of the day 11/8

Posted by Robin on 8 November 2019 240 Comments

Happy Art House / Stunt Perfume Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that you find weird and wonderful but that might not be appreciated by anyone but another perfumista. Bonus points if you’ve ever received a spontaneous negative response or odd question and still wear it! Thanks to HemlockSillage for the idea.

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 one of the few fragrances that I never wear out of the house: Serge Lutens Miel de Bois. They do still make this one, but I can only imagine that it’s softer and mellower than it used to be. If you’ve tried a recent version, do comment…

It’s Almost-Friday plus Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am turning my attention to the community project, in Demeter Beetroot. I have indeed had a negative comment, although that was from my husband so doesn’t really count.

Reminder: 11/8 will be Art House / Stunt Perfume Friday…

Tuesday scent of the day 11/5

It’s Tuesday, SWINTON’s birthday and Guy Fawkes Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

I am sure I will find my decant of Etat Libre d’Orange Like This any minute now, because I know I saw it just recently. Tea at the moment is Mariage Frères Chandernagor. (And a quick PSA: a family member is having surgery this week, so I may disappear for even longer stretches of time than usual. I should still manage to put up a scent of the day post every day, but if not, apologies in advance. Never mind — this just got rescheduled for later in the month.)

Monday scent of the day 11/4

Ah, Monday morning. (A little reading: How Daylight Saving Time Affects Your Body & Mind at Refinery 29.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m smelling more awake than I feel in Aftelier Candide.
