Happy Friday, plus happy National STEM Day and National Cappuccino Day. Birthdays: Bram Stoker, Minnie Riperton, Bonnie Raitt, Kazuo Ishiguro, Rickie Lee Jones. Our community project for today: for the 10th anniversary of our Friday projects (give or take a few months), we’re repeating the first one we did, way back in 2014… think of your favorite fragrance note (or one of them, if you can’t narrow down), wear your favorite fragrance that features that note, and tell us about it. Thanks go to happy888cat who noticed the anniversary!
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.
Me: still out of town without any perfume, and zero points for my DIY lotion with ylang and sweet orange, but extra points for massive ice cream consumption yesterday (and which I hope to repeat today). After lunch I had a scoop of Roasted Banana and a scoop of Guava from Mimi’s Handmade in Arlington; after dinner I had a scoop of Banana and a scoop of Dark Chocolate Fondente at the Pitango in Penn Quarter DC. I will be on a diet next week.
Reminder: on 11/15, wear a fragrance with tonka bean, if you have one.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2024, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
