It’s Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in John Varvatos Artisan and drinking a blend of Art of Tea Rose Black and Jasmine Pearl Tea Co Cascadia Breakfast.
Reminder: 5/8 is Sir David Frederick Attenborough’s 100th birthday! Honor the occasion however you like: scent your favorite animal? Wear a fragrance that honors plants or water or anything natural? Wear a fragrance that makes you think of one of your favorite Attenborough television series? It’s a pretty open field (and it’s also Iris Day, in case you want to kill two birds with one stone).
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: top image is the Yoake teapot (“Made in Japan in a semi-mechanized workshop, this teapot made of porcelain offers us a handcrafted finish with a dark green glaze evoking the reflection of foliage in the rippling water of a river”), €69 from Dammann Frères.
