Happy Friday and happy National Bittersweet Chocolate Day! Our community project for today: we’re off to Denmark…wear a perfume that is named for a place in Denmark, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Denmark, or that features a local ingredient, or ?

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 wish I still had some Ko Denmark Jasmine + Neroli, but I have long since used up my sample. I’m wearing the closest thing in my collection, I think, Aftelier Candide, although I can’t decide if I deserve any points for my meager efforts today.

Reminder: 1/17 is Betty White’s (1922-2021) birthday. Do absolutely whatever you like with the theme. If you need it: Betty White: A legacy of saucy joy that never grew old at The Christian Science Monitor, Why Betty White is so awesome at Today, Betty White, Progressive Superhero of TV History at Peabody Awards.

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.
