It’s Hump Day, World Digestive Health Day, National Biscuit Day and JFK’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
For the citrus tree in the “earth” portion of the Covarrubias mosaic, I’m in Carthusia Mediterraneo.
Reminder: on 5/31 we’re doing the Picture challenge, edition 9…wear a perfume that matches the image, which is Genesis, The Gift of Life, a 1954 glass mosaic by Mexican artist and anthropologist Miguel Covarrubias…
It’s (teapot-less, since we are powering through with Miguel Covarrubias this week, see below) Tuesday. What fragrance are you wearing?
For the stylized water and fishes in the image, I’m in Hermès Eau des Merveilles. Tea at the moment is Harney CTC Assam + Art of Tea Cardoz Legacy Masala Chai.

It’s Memorial Day weekend — summer at last! — and we’re celebrating the holiday with our standard open thread poll.
Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance you’re thinking will be your most-worn this coming summer (or winter), whatever. And if you have a friend or family member who died while serving in the armed forces, and you want to tell us about them, please do.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
(And a quick PSA…the splitmeet will close on Sunday night, or when I remember to close it on Monday…)
Happy Friday and happy International Tiara Day aka Queen Victoria’s birthday! (Plus, happy 83rd to Bob Dylan, and the splitmeet is still open.) Our community project for today: wear your perfume equivalent of a tiara.
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.
If I had any vintage Joy extrait left, that would be my automatic pick for a tiara, but I’m all out, so I’m in Aftelier Candide. Like Joy, it smells like it is made from real flowers, lots of them, and not much else…
Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Turtle Day! Author birthdays today: Carl Linnaeus, Margaret Fuller, Pär Lagerkvist, Scott O’Dell, Margaret Wise Brown. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m wearing a dab of Chanel Bois des Iles extrait for a day of chores and errands…that’s the closest I’ll get to a tiara.
