It’s Tuesday, Ada Lovelace Day and National Dessert Day. Birthdays: William Penn, Katherine Mansfield, E. E. Cummings, Hannah Arendt, Roger Moore and Ralph Lauren. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Ormonde Jayne Ta’if. Tea at the moment is Hao Ya Keemun from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Co.
Reminder: on 10/17, wear the perfume you would like to be buried or cremated in. (This was a suggestion from Deva, who did note that it is a bit macabre, but also that many cultures include fragrance materials of various sorts in their funerary rites. I was saving this project until Deva rejoined us, but since it looks like she has moved on to other interests, I’d like to take this opportunity to honor her since her presence here brightened everybody’s day for so long. If it’s too macabre for you, don’t join in, obviously!)
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.
