Tuesday scent of the day 1/20 :: Now Smell This

It’s Tuesday, plus the International Day of Acceptance, National Cheese Lovers Day and Penguin Awareness Day. Birthdays: Lead Belly, Joy Adamson, Barbara Jordan, David Lynch. If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, there are 59 days to go until spring. RIP Valentino Garavani. What fragrance are you wearing?

I’m in Valentino Donna.

Reminder: on 1/23, wear a fragrance with a pomegranate note, if you have one. (Suggested by Laila.)

And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2026, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Note: the Pomegranate Teapot (“Handcrafted in Jingdezhen from fine Gaobai porcelain and high-fired at over 1300°C, the form is finished in Ruby Ember — a deep red glaze that reflects warmth and quiet strength. Hand-painted pomegranate motifs unfold across the surface, rendered in underglaze and finished with restrained 24k gold accents…”) is $119 at Glazara (the matching tea cup is $56).
