Tuesday scent of the day 4/22
It’s Tuesday, plus World Book Day, St George’s Day, UN English Language Day and Shakespeare Day. Look for the Full Pink Moon tonight, and do check out the swapmeet in the meantime! What fragrance are you wearing?

Unexpected fruits feature (and play up our want of milky finishes), while tried-and-trues get a twist. To begin, look for banana. “It’s the fruit that pairs the best with jasmine notes—it brings fun, creaminess, and a touch of green vibrancy,” says [Arnaud Guggenbuhl of Givaudan], referencing Marc Jacobs’s new Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum. “The other ‘It fruit’ is mango, thanks to its pulpiness and lactonic facet, it brings a comforting escapism feeling.” Citrus notes will come candied or expressed through ginger, and fresh scents come treated with bitter rhubarb or fruity lychee accents.

The daily lemming
From Astier de Villatte, Orange Amere Body & Hand Cream: "Fresh, silky and non-greasy, it absorbs immediately, leaving the skin soft for a long time thanks to its jojoba and rosehip oils. The exquisite bitter orange fragrance creates a delicious sensation of freshness as soon as it is applied." 350 ml for $70 at Luckyscent.
Monday scent of the day 4/22
It’s Monday and Earth Day (the 2024 theme: Planet vs. Plastics). What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m taking a park greenery point in Annick Goutal Mandragore. (I’m also cheating since I did not announce the week’s community project until today.)
