Wednesday scent of the day 12/13

Happy Hump Day! It’s also National Violin Day and National Hot Cocoa Day. Birthdays: Mary Todd Lincoln, Emily Carr, Ella Baker, Dick Van Dyke, Jamie Foxx. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez (white cube) (copying ringthing yesterday). I can’t find the right word in Spanish, but I’m going with Gardenia Mullido, maybe? Even Narciso Blanco would have been better than just Narciso.

Reminder: on 12/15, wear whatever you like, but tell us the name your fragrance should have had…

Monday scent of the day 12/11

It’s Monday and the 5th night of Hanukkah. Also, International Mountain Day, and in Argentina, Día Nacional Del Tango. Happy 92nd birthday to Rita Moreno! What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Fendi Theorema, but after a very long travel day yesterday I am too brain dead to say what they should have named it. I just know Theorema was not the right name. I’ll try again tomorrow (or feel free to vote for your choice in the comments).

Reminder: on 12/15, wear whatever you like, but tell us the name your fragrance should have had…

Posted by Robin on 8 December 2023 166 Comments

Happy Friday and happy National Brownie Day! Birthdays: Camille Claudel, Diego Rivera, Sammy Davis Jr, Gregg Allman, Jim Morrison, Mary Gordon. Our community project for today: we’re off to Spain! Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Spain, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Spain, or that features an Spanish ingredient, or ? 

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 L’Artisan Parfumeur Séville à l’Aube…
