Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, and Happy New Year! Welcome to January and welcome to 2025. It’s also the 8th day of Christmas (maids a-milking), the eighth night of Hanukkah and the last day of Kwanzaa (Imani: faith). Plus, Public Domain Day, Euro Day, and National Bloody Mary Day. What fragrance are you wearing to usher in the new year?
I’m in Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré.
Reminder: on 1/3, wear a fragrance to match Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s color of the year for 2025: “For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort. // Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
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 Floating Rabbits Silk Twill Shawl Rectangle (“This design references many elements of the arts and culture of Edo-period Japan. It features a pair of black tailed jackrabbits in the foreground corners, with a third floating behind while strung up to a paper lantern. The foremost jackrabbits are wearing miniature kawari kabuto (strange helmets), featuring stylised metal and lacquer rabbit ears, and between them rests a similar helmet in the form of a crouching rabbit”) is $740 at Sabina Savage.
