Friday scent of the day 5/1 :: Now Smell This

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit and happy May Day! Birthdays: Calamity Jane, Sterling Allen Brown, Joseph Heller, Terry Southern, Shirley Horn, Judy Collins, Wes Anderson. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance that will bring you peace, happiness or good luck for the month.

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 wearing my usual May Day fragrance, vintage Diorissimo.

Reminder: 5/8 is Sir David Frederick Attenborough’s 100th birthday! Honor the occasion however you like: scent your favorite animal? Wear a fragrance that honors plants or water or anything natural? Wear a fragrance that makes you think of one of your favorite Attenborough television series? It’s a pretty open field (and it’s also Iris Day, in case you want to kill two birds with one stone). 

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.

Note: top image shows the Colette doll in Liberty Pink Meadow (“This rabbit doll with an embroidered face is suitable for the youngest children – the designers at Pamplemousse Peluches have also made a point of using tactile fabrics and stimulating colors to awaken your little ones’ imagination…”) with removable faux fur stole (also lined in Pink Meadow), $125 at Pamplemousse Peluches.
