It’s the last Friday of 2022! It’s also National Bacon Day, the sixth day of Christmas (geese a-laying) and the fifth day of Kwanzaa (Nia: purpose). Birthdays: Rudyard Kipling, Paul Bowles, Bo Diddley and Patti Smith. RIP Pelé and Vivienne Westwood. Our community project for today is Best of 2022…wear your favorite new release of the year, or your favorite purchase of the year, or the fragrance you wore the most in 2022, or interpret this project however you like.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I bought very little this year and I tried even fewer new perfumes. I’m wearing Diptyque Philosykos, which I’m sure is my most-worn for the year.
Reminder: on 1/6, wear a fragrance to match Viva Magenta, Pantone’s color of the year for 2023. (“Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative. [It] is powerful and empowering. It is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundaryless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement.”)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I’ll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
