It’s (Teapot) Tuesday and National Carrot Cake Day. Birthdays: Charles Henry Turner, Gertrude Stein, Alvar Aalto, Mabel Mercer, Simone Weil, Nathan Lane. What fragrance are you wearing?
I have just about zero interest in sports and winter, but I am playing along with the community project by copying DeniseH’s Monday pick: Fendi Theorema.
Reminder: 2/6 is the opening day of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Do absolutely whatever you like with the theme: scent a winter sport? Wear something Italian to celebrate the location? Wear something to support your country’s team? Or, pick a fragrance to honor your utter lack of interest in sports, or winter, or both. (Suggested by LesLiesse.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2026, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the Skier Teapot, Small (“The inspiration and imagery for Skiers China came from ‘Crowded Slopes’, an award-winning photograph taken by designer Dede Johnston in 2008 in Courchevel, France”) is $278 at Gorsuch. (There is a larger pot for $318, and matching dinnerware including cups, saucers and mugs.)
