Wednesday scent of the day 3/31
It’s Hump Day and the last day of March. (PSA: we’ll be receiving a visit from Donatella tomorrow, plus don’t forget to rabbit!) What fragrance are you wearing?
I loved the 4 books — Chicken Soup with Rice, Pierre, One was Johnny, Alligators All Around — in Maurice Sendak’s Nutshell Library when I was a child, and I loved reading the books to my child. I did not know about the Really Rosie musical, based on the books with music by Carole King, until I was an adult, but I played it for my son until long after he aged out of it and asked me to please stop.
What perfume would fit the simple counting book One was Johnny? Well, 7 is a blackbird that pecked poor Johnny’s nose, and there is a banana in the book as well, so I’m smelling delicious in Blackbird Y06-S. Lame, I know.
Reminder: 4/2 is International Children’s Book Day…

That smell is just divine. It’s really soothing and comforting; it just surrounds you and puts you in your little bubble, so I find it extremely relaxing.
