Wednesday scent of the day 9/17 :: Now Smell This

It’s Wednesday and International Country Music Day (aka Hank Williams’ birthday). More birthdays: Billy the Kid, William Carlos Williams, Ken Kesey. What fragrance are you wearing?

For Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, which I never did read, and which may or may not have been partly inspired by what was then called Isla de Pinos off the coast of Cuba, I’m wearing L’Artisan Havana Vanille.

Reminder: 9/19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Get as creative as you like with the theme! Wear a fragrance inspired by a pirate or piracy, wear something you bought so cheap it was a steal, steal an idea from someone else, whatever! 

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.
