Tuesday scent of the day 7/24
It’s Monday’s Ugly Little Sister, or it’s just Tuesday, it all depends on your frame of mind. Birthdays today: Alexandre Dumas, Zelda Fitzgerald and Amelia Earhart. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m commando for some routine medical testing; this afternoon I am planning to wear something cheerful to counteract the rain. Maybe April Aromatics Ray of Light?

The daily lemming
A candle that matches one of my favorite teas: Countess Grey from Fortnum & Mason. "The Countess Grey tea, made with orange pekoe teas, elevated by bergamot and orange combine to create a candle of rare brightness and refinement. A first in Fortnum's long and storied history, this range of tea candles is made in England. Presented in a beautifully decorative box, this tea candle would make a perfect gift." £45 for a 280g candle, also available in a 75g votive for £22. Other scents in the collection include Green Jasmine, Lapsang Souchong and Rose Pouchong.
