Thursday scent of the day 2/5 :: Now Smell This

Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Nutella Day! Birthdays: William S. Burroughs, Hank Aaron. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m taking points today in Eau d’Italie Baume du Doge.

Reminder: 2/6 is the opening day of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Do absolutely whatever you like with the theme: scent a winter sport? Wear something Italian to celebrate the location? Wear something to support your country’s team? Or, pick a fragrance to honor your utter lack of interest in sports, or winter, or both. (Suggested by LesLiesse.)

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.
