It’s Tuesday and the second day of Autumn. (Musical birthdays today: John Lomax, Ray Charles, John Coltrane, Julio Iglesias, Bruce Springsteen, Ani DiFranco.) What fragrance are you wearing?
I am commando because I’m still pretty sick. I just finished a cup of Cascadia Breakfast from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Co and I’ve got a pot of Rose Hip + Hibiscus + cinnamon chunks brewing.
Reminder: 9/26 is the first Friday in Autumn (unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case you know what to do). Wear something to celebrate the new season.
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 Leiph teapot from OHOM (“This self-heating teapot revolutionizes the art of tea, ensuring your brew maintains perfect warmth from the first pour to the last sip. Its sleek silhouette and artistic design make it not just a teapot, but a centerpiece of any modern environment”) is $135 with the “OHOM pad” and two teacups, or $66 if you don’t need the pad. (Note that the induction pad will heat the teapot and will also charge your cell phone or AirPods, or you can use it with the brand’s diffusers & etc.) Shown in Deep Navy, at Crate & Barrel.
