Happy Almost-Friday! What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Body Time Egyptian Musk oil mixed with some unscented lotion.
Reminder: 5/11 will be Musk Friday…
The daily lemming
Muru incense pyres from Blackbird: "Muru is a sophisticated and rich, green, woody-earthy smell. Burning Muru imparts a foreign, exotic feel to any atmosphere. The name Muru means grass in Estonian." With vetiver, yuzu, cypress and soil; 20+ cones for $34 at Blackbird. (These are the ones I've had my eye on, but reader favorites mentioned in the comments recently include Ploom, Gorgo, Lone, Targa and Tilde.)

On a recent spring morning, the revered British perfumer makes her way through a sea of wild grass and cow parsley in an untamed quarter of London’s Regent’s Park. “It’s so idyllic,” she says of the springtime scene: In this quiet corner, the incessant hum of central London traffic is eclipsed — almost — by birdsong and bell chimes from St. Marylebone Church.
