Happy Almost-Friday and happy National Chocolate Chip Day! It’s also the International Day of Families and Peace Officers Memorial Day. Birthdays: Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, L. Frank Baum, Katherine Anne Porter, Richard Avedon, Jasper Johns. What fragrance are you wearing?

Today I’m in one of my two most-worn bedtime fragrances: Diptyque Tam Dao.

Reminder: 5/16 will be Time for Bed Friday…wear a fragrance you normally put on to wear to bed. If you don’t usually put on fragrance then, wear a fragrance you normally only wear in the evening or on special occasions? Suggested by NinaV.

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.
