Tuesday scent of the day 10/7 :: Now Smell This

It’s Tuesday. Birthdays: Jacques Guerlain, Desmond Tutu, Yo-Yo Ma. What fragrance are you wearing? 

I’m wearing a drop of Après L’Ondée, for Jacques Guerlain. Tea at the moment is Bombay Breakfast from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Co. 

Reminder: on 10/10, wear a fragrance with nutmeg, if you have one. 

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Note: the Luo Han Teapot (“This gorgeous Yixing teapot is made from genuine forty-year-old zisha (purple-sand) clay. They are all handmade by Master Chen Ju Fang of Master Zhou’s “Wu Xing Shan Fang” studio (she is his wife). We had “Light Meets Life” stamped on the bottom of these pots. This is an “arhat” shaped teapot. Arhats are Buddhist saints. The pot is said to resemble a saint seated in meditation, especially if you cover the handle and spout” is $300 at Global Tea Hut.
