Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also World Meteorological Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
For an aged (rather than recently produced) rose-themed textile from Morris & Co, I’m wearing the rose-themed Parfums de Nicolaï Balkis Light, from a now relatively ancient bottle.
Reminder: 3/24 is William Morris’ birthday. Do whatever you like with the theme: match a textile or wallpaper or La Belle Iseult, or choose any motif (wear strawberry for Strawberry Thief, for instance)? Or take inspiration from his London house or garden, now under the care of the National Trust?

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.
