Tuesday scent of the day 11/5
It’s Tuesday, SWINTON’s birthday and Guy Fawkes Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I am sure I will find my decant of Etat Libre d’Orange Like This any minute now, because I know I saw it just recently. Tea at the moment is Mariage Frères Chandernagor. (And a quick PSA: a family member is having surgery this week, so I may disappear for even longer stretches of time than usual. I should still manage to put up a scent of the day post every day, but if not, apologies in advance. Never mind — this just got rescheduled for later in the month.)
Reminder: 11/8 will be Art House / Stunt Perfume Friday…
Who wants that?
One? Smell? Oh gosh, that’s so limiting. I’m sure the perfume company would want me to say my perfume, but I’m not sure that I’d want to have any one smell. I don’t want to do that, so no. I’m not doing it. I’m not having one smell forever. I don’t even think of putting a scent on my hands, or having them smell like anything. Who wants that?
