Tuesday scent of the day 10/6
It’s Tuesday and National Noodle Day and German-American Day. What fragrance are you wearing?

Endearing and genuine
Friendship is always based on trust and being comfortable with another; so for me, sandalwood has this warmth that brings everything together. Saffron also comes to mind. It reminds me of my favorite comfort foods, like saffron risotto. I find it very endearing and genuine; it provides this genuine warmth of another that makes you feel close to that individual.

The daily lemming
"Dolores Barefield had no idea who left the mysterious gift on her doorstep nor how it held such magical powers, only that its effects were undeniable. To infer she had fallen on hard times would be an understatement, but things were turning around in ways she hadn’t dreamed imaginable. It was springtime in Portland, Oregon and the city was bursting back to life after the wettest winter on record. Life felt possible again. But with newfound strength comes newfound desires, and a perilous search for understanding will lead her to a bizarre world she never knew existed." Bouquet of Miracles bar soap from Imaginary Authors, with rose and red currant, $12 at Luckyscent.
