Happy World Music Day, plus, happy solstice. Our community project for today: mark the solstice by wearing your favorite fragrance of summer (or winter) 2019.

I’m in Aftelier Candide, one of my most frequently worn afternoon pick-me-ups. (And sometimes I put some on right before bed too. It serves many purposes.)
Reminder: 6/28 will be Time Travel Friday…
Friday, plus Flag Day and World Blood Donor Day. Our community project for today is the picture challenge, edition 4, part 2 (you can find part 1 here). Wear a perfume that matches the picture, which is Georgia O’Keeffe’s Blue and Green Music, shown above right. You can find snippets about this painting here and here.

I focused on color and movement, and ended up in Sarah Jessica Parker Covet. The crazy top notes mimic the movement that starts in the lower left hand corner of the painting and the dry down progresses to cover something like the detail in the whole of the lower left hand quadrant, as shown above left…
PSA: the freebiemeet is tomorrow!
Meanwhile, it’s finally Friday and it’s finally Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance by Ineke, Imaginary Authors, il Profumo or i Profumi di Firenze, if you have one. Partial credit for any other small-ish brand that starts with the letter I, and triple bonus points if you wear a qualifying fragrance while eating chocolate ice cream.

I’m in Imaginary Authors Mosaic. I rarely hear it mentioned here, and I suspect we are a small fan club…
It’s Friday and Walt Whitman’s birthday. It’s also World No Tobacco Day, and our community project for today is to compensate by wearing something smoky (it doesn’t have to smell like tobacco in particular).

I’m doing full-on smoky tobacco, but lightly, with a tiny, out-of-season dab of Kerosene Broken Theories…
It’s Friday, and Robert Allen Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan is 78 today. Our community project for today: match a fragrance to a Bob Dylan song, OR, tell us who YOUR favorite musical artist is and match a fragrance to one of his/her/their songs.

I am wearing a little dab of Frédéric Malle Le Parfum de Thérèse for Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands from Blonde on Blonde, 1966. (It is number 27 on the Rolling Stone list of the 100 best Bob Dylan songs.
