Wednesday scent of the day 4/8 :: Now Smell This

It’s Hump Day, National Zoo Lovers Day, International Romani Day, and Jacques Brel’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?

I don’t really have a favorite bird, so I’m going to focus on birds I have seen myself, starting with the Baltimore Oriole — the state bird of Maryland. My farfetched match: when I lived in Baltimore, I often wore today’s choice, Eau de Givenchy.

Reminder: on 4/10, name your favorite bird, and wear a scent that matches it for whatever reason, no matter how farfetched. Suggested by happy888cat.

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.
