Wednesday scent of the day 8/27

Posted by on 122 Comments

It’s Wednesday and National Pots de Creme Day. Birthdays: Man Ray, Lester Young, Ira Levin, William Least Heat-Moon. What fragrance are you wearing?

So I sat down last night to compose my list of 5 perfumes I’d need as a castaway, and boy, that is no easy task. (Plus, even Desert Island Discs gives you 8 audio tracks plus a book and a luxury…5 is just stingy!) I narrowed down to a list of 14 and I still don’t have a rose or a jasmine or any white floral.

Friday scent of the day 8/22

Posted by on 228 Comments

It’s Friday and National Eat A Peach Day! Plus, the International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief. Musical birthdays: John Lee Hooker, Claude Debussy, Tori Amos. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with ylang ylang, if you have one. Thanks to Kanuka 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.

I’m in my DIY sweet orange + ylang ylang lotion again, this time layered with Neela Vermeire Créations Pichola.

Reminder: 8/29 will be Desert Island Friday…
