It’s Hump Day and David Bowie’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
So Denmark takes the problem of food waste seriously, or at least, way more seriously than we seem to here in the US. In Copenhagen there is even a restaurant that makes all its products from discarded bananas. My scent: Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Banane.
Reminder: on 1/10, we’re off to Denmark…
It’s Tuesday and National Tempura Day. Birthdays: Zora Neale Hurston and Gerald Durrell. What fragrance are you wearing?
There is apparently a tradition in Denmark that if you’re still single at 25, your friends can cover you in cinnamon. I suspect this is not widely practiced but it’s a good story, and so I’m wearing cinnamon, in Tauer Perfumes Phi — Une Rose de Kandahar. Tea at the moment is Numi Golden Chai, with extra cinnamon to stay on theme.

Happy Friday! It’s also the 10th day of Christmas (lords a-leaping), plus National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day. Birthdays: Lucretia Mott and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance to match Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s color of the year for 2025: “For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort. // Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
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’m in Bvlgari Omnia (hat tip to SheriG yesterday), which ticks several boxes for Mocha Mousse: brown color on bottle, chocolate note, “thoughtful indulgence”, “unpretentious”…
Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also World Introvert Day and National Science Fiction Day, plus the 9th day of Christmas (ladies dancing). What fragrance are you wearing?
