Friday scent of the day 4/9
Happy Antiquities Friday! (It’s also Marc Jacobs’ birthday, National Unicorn Day, National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day and National Winston Churchill Day. And, RIP Prince Philip.) Our community project for today: wear the oldest scent you own (you can interpret this as you like — the one you’ve owned the longest? worn the longest? the earliest launch date? whatever). Thanks to pyramus for the idea!
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m in vintage Diorissimo, the fragrance I’ve worn the longest, and possibly one of the oldest bottles in my collection as well, although it’s hard to say for sure…
The scents of ancient Egypt
At 11 a.m. on Sunday, April 11, [Egyptologist Dora] Goldsmith leads the first in a series of seven Zoom workshops on the scents of ancient Egypt. Presented through Santa Fe’s School of Lost Arts, the workshop series covers a host of cultural practices related to scents that can be recreated using the specific ingredients and methods of the ancient Egyptians, based on recipes found in papyri and other historic documents and on temple walls. Each participant receives a list of ingredients to gather for the workshops, if they so choose, or they can purchase a kit online when they register.
