It’s Friday, plus World Hello Day and World Television Day. Birthdays: Voltaire, René Magritte, Coleman Hawkins, Elizabeth George Speare, Marilyn French. Our community project for today: wear a favorite vintage fragrance and tell us why you love it (and if you like, tell us about any memories it might conjure up for you). If you don’t have a favorite vintage fragrance, wear something you think you’d still love 20 years from now. (Adapted from a suggestion by DeniseH.)
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.
No surprises here: I’m in vintage Diorissimo. It’s no longer quite pristine but it still smells like springtime. I have worn it for so many years it’s hard to say what memories it conjures up, but I can still remember how pleased I was as a young teen to have that houndstooth bottle on my dresser. I always bought the splash bottle and dabbed it behind my ears and on my wrists…
