Comme des Garçons has launched Ganja, a new fragrance…
Friday scent of the day 11/19
It’s Friday! In case you missed it last night, take a look at Beaver Moon lunar eclipse 2021: Amazing photos of the longest partial moon eclipse in 580 years. Whether you saw it or slept through it, it’s the subject of our community project for today: wear what you think fits.
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 did not see the moon at all last night, much less the eclipse. I did see my nephew in his first high school play (yes, he was excellent, thanks for asking). I went with Ormonde Jayne Ta’if because the image above made me think of it…
Chronic anosmia
New research Thursday aims to quantify a life-altering aftereffect of covid-19: a lingering loss of smell, also known as anosmia. The study estimates that up to 1.6 million people in the U.S. have experienced chronic anosmia lasting at least six months following their coronavirus infection.
