I’m taking a point for the almond in Marni Rose…
It’s the first Friday of 2024. (It’s also Twelfth Night, National Bird Day, George Washington Carver Day and Alvin Ailey’s birthday.) Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s color of the year for 2024. “PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a velvety gentle peach whose all-embracing spirit enriches heart, mind, and body. Subtly sensual, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a heartfelt peach hue bringing a feeling of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration. A warm and cozy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness. An appealing peach hue softly nestled between pink and orange, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz inspires belonging, recalibration, and an opportunity for nurturing, conjuring up an air of calm, offering us a space to be, feel, and heal and to flourish from.”

I’m ending the week the way I started, in Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré. It works perfectly with the scarf shown above, and is indeed a fresh approach to a new softness. To me, it also succeeds in “bringing a feeling of kindness and tenderness”…
Happy last Friday of the year! It’s also the fifth day of Christmas (five golden rings) and the fourth day of Kwanzaa (Ujamaa: cooperative economics). Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with myrrh, if you have one. Thanks go to Kanuka for the suggestion!

Happy (Best Buy) Friday! There are 9 days left to go for the year. Birthdays: Lady Bird Johnson, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ralph Fiennes. Our community project for today: wear your favorite fragrance purchase of 2023. If you didn’t buy anything this year, pick a favorite from a prior year. (This is a repeat, several times over, from 2016.)

I’m wearing my favorite fragrance buy of 2019, Neela Vermeire Créations Pichola…
Happy Friday! It’s also Bill of Rights Day and National Cupcake Day. Birthdays today: Gustave Eiffel, John Hammond, Edna O’Brien. Our community project for today: wear whatever you like, but tell us the name your fragrance should have had. (If the name is perfect, that’s an acceptable answer.) Someone suggested this recently, raise your hand if it was you!
