Tuesday scent of the day 7/22 :: Now Smell This

It’s Tuesday, National Mango Day and National Hammock Day. Birthdays: Edward Hopper, Alexander Calder, Tom Robbins, Oscar de la Renta, S. E. Hinton. RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m wearing Diptyque Philosykos, which features in the Cormoran Strike novel Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling (I learned this on Reddit, having long since forgotten learning it while reading the book). Tea at the moment is Cascadia Breakfast from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Co. 

Reminder: 7/25 will be Mystery & Crime Friday…for Josephine Tey’s birthday, interpret the theme any way you like…you can scent your favorite fictional detective (or villain); you can wear something that brings to mind a favorite mystery novel, film or genre; or maybe your perfume name contains a reference to a crime, a criminal, or a crime fighter. Suggested by Glannys.

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 Druggist Teapot from Jonathan Adler (“Expand horizons with Jonathan Adler’s dreamy third-eye mindscapes. Featuring delft-inspired blues and accented with real sparking gold, the Druggist teapot is crafted from glossy high-fired porcelain”) is $185 at Saks.
