It’s Friday and the International Day of Acceptance. RIP David Crosby. And happy 77th to David Lynch! Our community project for today: Pick a favorite Lynch work or character and wear a scent to match, or pick a theme (split roles? doppelgangers? surrealism?) and work with that for your fragrance choice. If you don’t know (or care about) his work, you could just wear something a little weird or off-kilter.
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.
I wanted to wear vintage Vent Vert, since Balmain reissued the fragrance in 1990, the same year that Twin Peaks debuted, and I thought a bitter green would nicely capture the atmosphere of the show. But I don’t seem to have any, so I went with CB I Hate Perfume CB93, for its galbanum and fir / pine notes. It’s not quite right but it’ll have to do…
Happy Almost-Friday and happy National Popcorn Day! Birthdays: Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Cézanne, Patricia Highsmith, Julian Barnes, Janis Joplin, Edwidge Danticat, Dolly Parton. What fragrance are you wearing?
For the 2001 film Mulholland Drive, which I have seen twice (but not recently), I am wearing Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds (vintage, and showing its age, which works even better for the community project).
Reminder: 1/20 is David Lynch’s birthday…
It’s Hump Day and National Thesaurus Day, aka Peter Mark Roget’s birthday. More birthdays: AA Milne, Cary Grant, Philippe Starck. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Annick Goutal Nuit et Confidences, which I came across while looking for something else. (Raise your hand if that’s frequently how you choose your fragrance.)
