It’s Tuesday and National Apricot Day. Birthdays: Carrie Chapman Catt, Simone de Beauvoir, Joan Baez. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m wearing Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus. Tea at the moment is a very strong cup of Harney CTC Assam.
Reminder: 1/12 is National Marzipan Day. Wear a fragrance with honey, almond or both…
Alas, it is Monday, and a Monday in January to boot. Also, David Bowie’s (may he RIP) birthday (and Paris will inaugurate Rue David Bowie today). What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m wearing Thierry Mugler Cologne, one of my picks from the week we did a David Bowie community project in 2021.

We’re starting the year off with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the 2024 fragrance release you’re itching to try, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
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.”
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 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 Almost-Friday! It’s also the 11th day of Christmas (pipers piping) and World Braille Day. Birthdays: Sir Isaac Newton and Michael Stipe. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Narciso Rodriguez Narciso Poudrée, just because I thought it matched the promotional image for Pantone Peach Fuzz shown above.
Reminder: on 1/5, wear a fragrance to match Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s color of the year for 2024…
