It’s Hump Day, World Red Cross Day, and Iris Day. Happy 98th to Sir David Frederick Attenborough! (And happy birthday to my little sister, who is not quite as old as Sir David Attenborough, but is getting there.) What fragrance are you wearing?
More points for me in Ormonde Jayne Tanger.
Reminder: 5/10 is the International Day of Argania, so we’re off to Morocco…
It’s (Teapot) Tuesday. Birthdays: Robert Browning, Gary Cooper, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Angela Carter, Peter Carey. PSA: the splitmeet will take place on 18 May, the same day as the Haiku Challenge. What fragrance are you wearing?
Points for me this morning in Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate. Tea at the moment is Art of Tea Tali’s Masala Chai + Harney’s CTC Assam.

(Update: I forgot to say that this is a 3 day poll! Use the comments section to talk about whatever you like on Monday, and there will be a new scent of the day poll on Tuesday.)
Welcome to our 5th annual spring reading poll! Please recommend a great book to add to our reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it.
Or, do what I do and record here everything you have read since the last reading poll. And if you want more recommendations, scrolling through the literature tag will bring up all the older reading polls.
(Or, as always, just talk about something else.)
What I’ve read since our winter reading poll…
Happy Chypre Friday! (Also, World Press Freedom Day and International Sun Day.) Our community project for today: wear a chypre fragrance of any sort — classic or modern or post-modern. (This is a repeat from 2016.)
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.
When we did this project in 2016 I wore Parfum d’Empire Azemour Les Orangers, and I suppose I ought to have come up with something else for this year, but it’s hard to beat Azemour Les Orangers…
Happy Almost-Friday, and happy 69th to Our Lady Donatella Versace. What fragrance are you wearing?
Points for me: I’m in Hermès Calèche for a day of menial chores.
Reminder: 5/3 will be Chypre Friday…
