It’s Friday, plus Math 2.0 Day and Billy Eckstine’s birthday. Also, Kevin Bacon is 64. Our community project for today: we’re doing a variation on six degrees of separation.

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.

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 7 July 2022 2 Comments

Yet another candle collaboration, this one from Jo Malone and Richard Quinn, who has done up a new iteration of Tuberose Angelica. "This limited edition Jo Malone London candle features a floral print conceptualized by fashion designer Richard Quinn. The decorative print reflects its sumptuous, white floral scent." (The print on the outer box, shown at right missing its top, is pretty spiffy too.) $130 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
