It’s Tuesday and Hug Your Cat Day, plus the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. Birthdays: Elizabeth Jolley, Ruth Westheimer, Val McDermid. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Parfums DelRae Panache, from a recently rediscovered sample that is unfortunately not quite in pristine condition. We’ll see if it settles into something wearable. Tea at the moment is a nice hot latte.
Reminder: 6/7 is Prince Rogers Nelson aka Prince aka The Artist’s birthday…
Happy Friday! It’s also the last day of May, Walt Whitman’s birthday and World No Tobacco Day. Our community project for today: the Picture challenge, edition 9…wear a perfume that matches the image, which is Genesis, The Gift of Life, a 1954 glass mosaic by Mexican artist and anthropologist Miguel Covarrubias. [Above is just detail from the central part of the mosaic; more images and info here.]
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.
For the green underground figure, which I assume is based on the Aztec “earth monster” Tlaltecuhtli, I decided to go with something rooty / underground, so vetiver.

Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also National Mint Julep Day. Birthdays: Countee Cullen, Benny Goodman, Colm Tóibín. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Kenzo Air for the air element of the Covarrubias mosaic. I cannot claim any extra credit for my prosaic image-fragrance matches this week.
