It’s Tuesday (I checked). PSA: the swapmeet will be open for another week! What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in L’Eau de L’Artisan. This morning really called for coffee, so instead of tea I’m drinking a cup of Chameleon Cold Brew coffee (coffee from a jar!) with milk and cardamom.
Reminder: 5/22 will be World Goth Day…
But it's not all sunny: Perfume founders like Julian Bedel of Fueguia 1833 admit that the online uptick hasn't made up for the loss in brick-and-mortar sales, and worse, ingredient scarcity may threaten future stock.

Because summer is coming: Colonia Repelente Mosquito Spray from Coqui Coqui. "An ultra-effective, all-natural mosquito spray with a light, fresh scent of citronella, orange blossom, and geranium. Inspired by the work of Franciscan monks in Mexico, who used the Yucatan's exotic plants to create medicines and fragrances. Designed to be carried on the go and reapplied as needed." $25 for 55 ml at Luckyscent.
Happy International Museum Day! What fragrance are you wearing? (And if you like, tell us the last museum you visited, or the museum you wish you could visit today.)
I’m in Narciso white cube, and I’m pretty sure the last museum I visited was the Freer Gallery in Washington, DC. Right now I would love to be in the Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room, at the Sackler (adjacent to the Freer, right across the Enid A. Haupt Garden).
