Friday scent of the day 9/19 :: Now Smell This
Ahoy! It’s Friday and International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Our community project for today: get as creative as you like with the pirate theme. Wear a fragrance inspired by a pirate or piracy, wear something you bought so cheap it was a steal, steal an idea from someone else, whatever!
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.
My plan today was to wear something inspired by “Pirate Queen” Zheng Yi Sao. Instead, I’m sick, and hoping to get back to bed pretty soon.
Reminder: 9/26 is the first Friday in Autumn (unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case you know what to do). Wear something to celebrate the new season.
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.
