Friday scent of the day 8/9

Posted by Robin on 9 August 2024 253 Comments

It’s Friday, plus National Book Lovers Day. Birthdays: Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, P. L. Travers, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Tove Jansson, Michael Kors, Whitney Houston. Our community project for today: we’re off to Greece! Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Greece, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Greece, or that features a local ingredient, or ? [If you need more ideas, see Plants of Greek Myth links from Glanny’s comment on Tuesday.]

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.

No points for originality, but I’m in Diptyque Philosykos…

It’s Almost-Friday, plus International Cat Day and National Happiness Happens Day. Birthdays: Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Benny Carter. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Hermès Un Jardin à Cythère. Nope, still don’t love it, and when it fades a bit I will cover it up with Un Jardin en Méditerranée or something.

Reminder: on 8/9, we’re off to Greece…

Tuesday scent of the day 8/6

It’s Tuesday and Root Beer Float Day. Birthdays: Andy Warhol, M. Night Shyamalan, Lucille Ball, Alfred, Lord Tennyson. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m running late already, so I’m just in my DIY scented lotion (ylang + sweet orange). I will pick a (real) fragrance in the late afternoon. Tea at the moment is from my blend of random Upton black tea samples, with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Reminder: on 8/9, we’re off to Greece…

Friday scent of the day 8/2

Ministry of Silly Walks

It’s Friday, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day and James Baldwin’s birthday. Our community project for today is Silly Friday. Wear a silly perfume, or a perfume with a silly name, or a perfume that comes in a silly bottle, or ? (Raise your hand if you are the person who suggested this!)

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.

My plan for today was Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame, which checks several boxes AND smells good. Unfortunately yesterday did not go to plan and today isn’t likely to either. I’m commando and thinking silly thoughts instead (and I hope to catch up on comments over the weekend; I still have not read Thursday)…
