Thursday scent of the day 5/28 :: Now Smell This

Happy Almost-Friday and happy National Hamburger Day! Birthdays: Walker Percy, Maeve Binchy, Gladys Knight. What fragrance are you wearing?

The perfect scent for a spy drinking in the bath? Still Dior Eau Sauvage. 

Reminder: 5/29 will be Shaken Not Stirred Friday…for Ian Fleming’s birthday (on Thursday the 28th), honor the James Bond character howsoever you like. You can repeat the theme of a 2008 poll (name your favorite James Bond actor (the choices, for anyone who can’t remember the entire line-up: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig) and what fragrance you think their version of Bond would wear) or any of the questions from a 2018 followup we did for Sean Connery’s birthday, you can scent your favorite Bond movie, you can take inspiration from a specific film (or book!) locale or character, whatever you like. Thanks go to Lovestosmellgood for the idea! 

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.
