It’s Hump Day and Purple Day. Birthdays: AE Housman (Loveliest of trees, the cherry now), Robert Frost, Guccio Gucci, Joseph Campbell, Tennessee Williams, Leonard Nimoy, Diana Ross. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Gucci Bamboo, from a now-vintage and less than pristine sample.

Reminder: 3/28 is Lady Gaga’s birthday. Wear one of her fragrances, if you have one, or scent a Lady Gaga song, or wear any fragrance that you think fits either Lady Gaga or the perfume name “Fame”.

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.
