It’s Tuesday and the second day of Autumn. (Musical birthdays today: John Lomax, Ray Charles, John Coltrane, Julio Iglesias, Bruce Springsteen, Ani DiFranco.) What fragrance are you wearing?

I am commando because I’m still pretty sick. I just finished a cup of Cascadia Breakfast from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Co and I’ve got a pot of Rose Hip + Hibiscus + cinnamon chunks brewing.

Friday scent of the day 9/19

Ahoy! It’s Friday and International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Our community project for today: get as creative as you like with the pirate theme. Wear a fragrance inspired by a pirate or piracy, wear something you bought so cheap it was a steal, steal an idea from someone else, whatever!

It’s Wednesday and International Country Music Day (aka Hank Williams’ birthday). More birthdays: Billy the Kid, William Carlos Williams, Ken Kesey. What fragrance are you wearing?

For Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, which I never did read, and which may or may not have been partly inspired by what was then called Isla de Pinos off the coast of Cuba, I’m wearing L’Artisan Havana Vanille.

Reminder: 9/19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day…
