Tuesday scent of the day 1/27 :: Now Smell This

It’s Tuesday, plus National Chocolate Cake Day and International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Birthdays: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Lewis Carroll, Jerome Kern, Bobby Blue Bland, Narciso Rodriguez and Alan Cumming. There are 52 days until the spring equinox, but only 33 days until the first day of meteorological spring. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez aka White Cube. Tea at the moment is Cascadia Breakfast from Jasmine Pearl Tea Co, brewed double strength with cardamom, with half & half and a sprinkle of nutmeg. 

Reminder: 1/30 will be Play Nice Friday…wear a fragrance which, while it still bears the stamp of the perfumer’s art, is more or less guaranteed to offend no-one. (Suggested by pyramus.)

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 Kintsugi Teapot (“Kintsugi Japanese art assumes contemporary shapes. The delicate porcelaine is glorified and enriched with gold fragments for a tableweare [sic] collection made of charming and unexpected compositions”) is $197 at Seletti.
