Friday scent of the day 1/23 :: Now Smell This

Happy Friday and happy National Pie Day! Birthdays: Stendhal, Édouard Manet, Derek Walcott. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with a pomegranate note, if you have one. Thanks go to Laila 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.

Pomegranate is my favorite fruit, and other than grapefruit, the only fruit I still eat regularly. But, like many of you, I do not have a pomegranate fragrance that I love. I’m in the only one I could locate: Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir.

Reminder: 1/30 will be Play Nice Friday…wear a fragrance which, while it still bears the stamp of the perfumer’s art, is more or less guaranteed to offend no-one. (Suggested by pyramus.)

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2026, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
