It’s Friday, World Creativity and Innovation Day, and if you’re in the UK, it’s National Tea Day. Birthdays: Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth II, Iggy Pop. Our community project for today: wear a spring floral, or any fragrance that makes you think of spring.

Me: day two in L’Artisan Parfumeur Jacinthe des Bois…
Happy Friday and happy Pan American Day! (Also, National Dolphin Day and Loretta Lynn’s birthday.) Our community project for today: wear a perfume named for a place in North or South America, with bonus points for places that aren’t New York City.

It is too warm here for Tauer Lonestar Memories (and I could not find my Atelier Cologne Clémentine California or J Lo Miami Glow), but thanks to a last minute burst of inspiration, I’m taking bonus points in Ineke Idyllwild. (In case it helps anyone, I almost went with Strange Invisible Perfumes Magazine Street; I’m all out of Florida Water or that would have been another contender.) Apologies for again picking what turned out to be a difficult project. Next week is easy peasy…
Happy Friday and happy National No Housework Day! It’s also the 75th World Health Day (the theme for 2023: “health for all”). Our community project for today: for Billie Holiday’s birthday, wear gardenia, or wear one of her favorite perfumes (Coty Emeraude and Bourjois Evening in Paris) or wear a fragrance inspired by her (Serge Lutens Une Voix Noire, Maria Candida Gentile Lady Day, Strange Invisible Perfumes Lady Day, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Don’t Explain, to name a few).

Points for me in Maria Candida Gentile Lady Day…
Happy Friday and happy Eiffel Tower Day! Our community project for today: wear a perfume that says Paris to you, or that has Paris in the name, or ?

Reportedly the most popular perfume in France is Lancôme La Vie Est Belle, but I’m going with Guerlain Jicky (copying PriscillaE on Monday)…
Happy Friday! It’s also National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day, plus the International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims. Here we’re celebrating William Morris’ birthday. Our community project for today: do whatever you like with the William Morris theme…match a textile or wallpaper or La Belle Iseult, or choose any motif (wear strawberry for Strawberry Thief, for instance)? Or take inspiration from his London house or garden, now under the care of the National Trust?

I went with Fruit wallpaper, and to match I’m in Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, which I have not worn in eons, and which is not so noir as to clash with the sunny design. The original colorways were duskier anyway…
