It’s Tuesday, National Pet Day and World Parkinson’s Day. RIP Lasse Wellander and Al Jaffee. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in Comptoir Sud Pacifique L’Eau du Gouverneur. Tea at the moment is Upton Jin Jun Mei, brewed with a few cocoa husks.
Reminder: on 4/14, for Pan American Day, wear a perfume named for a place in North or South America, with bonus points for places that aren’t New York City.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: shown is a John Bartlam teapot made in South Carolina in the late 1760s.
