Weekend Perfume Sync June 2022 through June 2023

Weekend Theme June 4 & 5 Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Let’s start off with a palate cleanser; raid the kitchen garden for some fresh herbs! June 11 & 12 Groovy! Disco, bell bottoms & chest hair! Pick a scent that transports you back to the 70s. June 18 & 19 A Midsummer Night’s Dream Enchanted forests & shrewd and knavish sprites June 25 & 26 Garden party glamour What it says on the tin July 2 & 3 Wildflowers & weeds Category is: things that grow by the side of the road July 9 & 10 Live long & prosper Scent your favourite sci fi character; what would a Vulcan wear? July 16 & 17 Honeysuckle Ok, this theme is entirely self serving and rather specific. I’m looking for a scent that resembles honeysuckle, and not just any type of honeysuckle, but this one:

The plants tend to be spindly, the blossoms purplish, and they smell like the nectar of the gods. I have never smelled a perfume that captures this scent, and I very much would like to. It smells different from this variety (bushy, with yellow/white flowers) of honeysuckle, which smells more lemony and jasmine like.

Also lovely, but I’m looking for the former. Anyone? July 23 & 24 Tan lines & freckles Lounging around the pool on a long, lazy summer’s day July 30 & 31 1001 nights Something inspired by Scheherazade, a tale within a tale August 6 & 7 Ice bath Time to cool off, what scent gives you the chills? August 13 & 15 Let’s get tropical!

August 20 & 21 The milkyway There’s nothing like looking up at the night sky on a late summer’s night and pondering the meaning of life. We hear space smells like burnt metal though…. August 27 & 28 Sea side nostalgia Scent your favourite sea side experience September 2 & 3 B%tch slap It’s hard to get back into gear after the summer, so choose a scent that snaps you out of it September 9 & 10 That new book smell Back to work or school with some fresh supplies September 16 & 17 Osmanthusgeddon Bring your best Osmanthus September 23 & 24 Harvest moon A full moon around the autumn equinox, doesn’t it sound poetic? September 30 & October 1 Sartorial excellence A scent to complement your perfect outfit and/or make up look October 8 & 9 Into the woods You can go anywhere with this prompt October 15 & 16 Sweater weather Bring on the fuzzy jumpers! October 22 & 23 “If I’d been a ranch, they would have named me the Bar Nothing” Smell like a film noir fantasy. I’ll be over here, channeling Gilda October 29 & 30 Something wicked this way comes Use your imagination for this one November 5 & 6 Baked goods Bread, pastry & everything yeasty November 12 & 13 Victoriana Somehow I feel like the whole Victorian era took place during winter… November 19 & 20 Cinders & cinnamon Burning coals and spices November 26 & 27 Frost bite Nippy, brisk, icy & frosty December 3 & 4 Pets Cat fur, puppy paws, or a horse’s hide (or arse, if you’re so inclined), snuggle up with your favourite animal scent December 10 & 11 Mulled wine Warm your hands and your heart with some gluhwein (or a very large cocktail of your choosing) December 17 & 18 Since Die Hard is a Christmas movie… …what would John McClane wear?
