Thursday scent of the day 5/7 :: Now Smell This

Happy Almost-Friday! Birthdays today: Robert Browning, Gary Cooper, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Angela Carter, Peter Carey. What fragrance are you wearing?

Inspired by the murky water in the still shown above, from Attenborough’s 2022 series The Green Planet (and by the fact that carole wore it on Tuesday), I’m in L’Eau de L’Artisan. 

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.
