It’s Tuesday and French Fries Day. A very happy 81st birthday to Sir Patrick Stewart! What fragrance are you wearing?
I spent much of yesterday in bed, and am feeling great today. I’m in a tiny, weather-appropriate dab of Andrea Maack Coal, but I’m guessing I’ll be in something light and citrus-y before the day is out. (Providence Perfume Co Tangerine Thyme is queued up on my desk.)
Reminder: 7/16 will be Nordic Friday…
Happy Monday and happy Simplicity Day (Henry David Thoreau’s birthday). What fragrance are you wearing?
I was planning to start accruing community project points early with Andrea Maack Coal, but I was also planning to avoid catching my husband’s summer cold. I’m feeling some twinges, we’ll see if I head it off…but I’m commando today and planning lots of rest.

Happy Ice Cream month! Our community project for today: tell us your favorite flavor, share a recipe if you like, and wear any perfume that you think fits the project.
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.
My favorite flavor is chocolate, although I’m not all that interested in plain chocolate ice cream. I like any ice cream better if you add chocolate chips, though, and I like chocolate better if there is something else added, whether fruit, coffee, nuts or spice. When I was still making ice cream regularly, one of my favorite recipes was the Vietnamese Coffee from Saveur, with about 1/2 cup of chopped chocolate thrown in the ice cream maker at the last minute.*
I never made fig ice cream, but now I’m tempted to dust off the ice cream maker and try a batch. So for today, I’m wearing Diptyque Philosykos on one arm and Imaginary Authors + Salt & Straw A Whiff of Waffle Cone on the other…
Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also Math 2.0 Day and Billy Eckstine’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m keeping things cheery on a dreary / hot / overcast / humid July day, in Cartier Eau de Cartier Zeste de Soleil.
Reminder: on 7/9 we’re honoring Ice Cream month..
It’s Hump Day and World Chocolate Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I am copying pyramus on Monday, with Guerlain Anisia Bella for Tiger Tail ice cream, an orange and licorice combo that I’d never heard of, and which apparently is a love-it-or-hate-it flavor (and rather hard to find outside of Canada, although I see that it does pop up in the US here and there). I love licorice: I’m game.
