It’s Tuesday and International Carrot Day. Birthdays: Dorothea Dix, Muddy Waters, Marguerite Duras, Maya Angelou. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m giving Aedes de Venustas Corfu Kumquat a shot (although honestly I can’t remember if I have already tried it). Jessica was right, if you don’t like ambrox, don’t bother.

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 ?
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.
Reportedly the most popular perfume in France is Lancôme La Vie Est Belle, but I’m going with Guerlain Jicky (copying PriscillaE on Monday)…
It’s Almost-Friday, National Doctors Day and Pencil Day. Birthdays today: Francisco Goya, Vincent Willem van Gogh, Tracy Chapman. What fragrance are you wearing?

It’s Hump Day, National Vietnam War Veterans Day and World Piano Day. Birthdays: Pearl Bailey, Astrud Gilberto, Eric Idle. What fragrance are you wearing?
Astrud Gilberto’s favorite fragrance is apparently Robert Piguet Fracas, and that works for me and for the community project (you can see her singing at the Paris Jazz Festival in 1968 here; and you can read ‘He made sure that she got nothing’: The sad story of Astrud Gilberto, the face of bossa nova at The Guardian.)
