It’s Hump Day, World Goth Day and Sherlock Holmes Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
We’re looking at 85 today. I’m copying ringthing’s Tuesday choice in Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil.
Reminder: 5/24 is International Tiara Day aka Queen Victoria’s birthday. Wear your perfume equivalent of a tiara…

Today, our fifteenth annual Haiku Challenge (if you like, you can check out past years for inspiration). We’re also happy to include other forms of poetry if haiku don’t inspire you. Have a perfume-related limerick or a sonnet you’d like to share? Please do.
If you’re writing a haiku, pick a perfume or a perfume house (or really, anything related to perfume), and write a haiku about it.
Use the simplified English form — your haiku should have three lines, the first line with five syllables, the second line with seven syllables and the third line with five syllables. You can put the perfume name in the title if that makes it easier, and at any rate, don’t stress over the rules of traditional haiku — this is just for fun.
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
It’s Friday, the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, and World Baking Day. Our community project for today: do what you like with the Baking Day theme. You could wear a gourmand, or you could wear any perfume with any ingredient you like to bake with (or eat), or ?? Be as creative as you like.
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.
The only thing I bake with any regularity these days is granola, so I’ve done ingredients from my granola recipe all week. Today I’m on the almonds with Marni Rose…
Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also National Barbecue Day and the International Day of Living Together in Peace. Birthdays: Studs Terkel, Woody Herman, Liberace, Betty Carter and Christian Lacroix.

The only thing I bake with any regularity these days is granola, so I’m doing ingredients from my granola recipe this week. Today: vanilla, in Hermès Vanille Galante.
