Friday scent of the day 11/14 :: Now Smell This

It’s Friday, plus National Pickle Day and World Diabetes Day. Our community project for today: for Claude Monet’s birthday, wear a fragrance that reflects the spirit of Impressionism (Wikipedia: “characterized by visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience”) or scent a favorite Impressionist painting, or do something else creative with the theme. 

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 jumping on the iris train, in Honoré des Prés I Love Les Carottes.

Reminder: on 11/21, wear a favorite vintage fragrance and tell us why you love it (and if you like, tell us about any memories it might conjure up for you). If you don’t have a favorite vintage fragrance, wear something you think you’d still love 20 years from now. (Adapted from a suggestion by DeniseH.) 

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
