My fragrance needs to be light today, so I’m wearing a drop of Aftelier Ancient Resins mixed into unscented body lotion.
Reminder: on 6/13, wear an incense fragrance, if you have one…
Tell us about a summer vacation, any summer vacation: one you took, one you plan to take, one you’d like to take. And tell us about the perfume that best matches that vacation.
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
It’s Friday and the 81st anniversary of D-Day. Eid Mubarak! Birthdays: Diego Velázquez, Alexander Pushkin, Thomas Mann, Marian Wright Edelman. Our community project for today is Signature Friday…wear a fragrance that was your signature in the past, or that you could live with as a signature now, or that you’d like people to remember you by? Thanks go to madtowngirl and chocolatemarzipan8 for the idea!
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.
I’m in Diorissimo (surprise, surprise)…
It’s Almost-Friday, World Environment Day and National Veggie Burger Day. Birthdays: Pat Garrett, Pancho Villa, John Maynard Keynes, Ivy Compton-Burnett, Federico García Lorca, Richard Scarry. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Chanel Cristalle Eau de Toilette from a decant in less than perfect shape; it still smells great though. It was a near-signature of mine for many many years.
Reminder: 6/6 will be Signature Friday…
It’s Hump Day and Hug Your Cat Day, plus the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. Birthdays: Elizabeth Jolley, Ruth Westheimer, Val McDermid. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Eau de Givenchy, which I wore for some years, almost but not quite monogamously, in the 1980s into the 1990s.
Reminder: 6/6 will be Signature Friday…
