It’s Friday and National Banana Bread Day! Birthdays: Samuel Pepys, W. E. B. Du Bois. Our community project for today: we’re off to New Zealand! Wear a perfume that is named for a place in New Zealand, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to New Zealand, or that features a local ingredient, or ?
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.
The readers of Rough Guides voted New Zealand the most beautiful country in the world in 2023 (although it came in second to Indonesia in 2022 by the UK’s Money). All the gorgeous greenery and water made me thing of Diptyque’s L’Ombre dans L’Eau, so that’s my pick, and it’s just a shame I can’t wear it on the banks of the Manawatu River. (And yes, I did blow some time this week looking at real estate listings…)
Happy Almost-Friday and happy National Margarita Day! Birthdays: George Washington, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Horace Pippin, Edward Gorey, Kyle MacLachlan, Steve Irwin. What fragrance are you wearing?
I overslept spectacularly (after not having slept well the night before), and so I’ll pick my fragrance once I catch up!
Reminder: on 2/23, we’re off to New Zealand…
It’s Wednesday and International Mother Language Day. Birthdays: Anaïs Nin, WH Auden, Nina Simone, John Lewis, Alan Rickman. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Lush Silky Underwear. My bottle is not in great shape — the far dry down is still lovely but the top and middle have gone sour — and I have just tossed it. I am almost glad Lush does not make it anymore or I’d be tempted to replace it, and if I could not finish the 30 ml bottle in 12 years I guess I don’t need more. (Plus, when I investigated the primary ingredients to see if I could get any community project points, turns out some jasminium species are invasive in New Zealand. Oops!)
