Tuesday scent of the day 9/2 :: Now Smell This

It’s Tuesday and National Blueberry Popsicle Day. Birthdays: Keanu Reeves, Horace Silver, Salma Hayek, Billy Preston. What fragrance are you wearing? 

Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar, and Zanzibar was historically considered one of the spice islands, so I’m in Comptoir Sud Pacifique L’Eau du Gouverneur. Tea at the moment is Numi Golden Chai. 

Reminder: 9/5 is Freddie Mercury’s birthday. Scent a Queen song, or honor Freddie Mercury with your fragrance in any other way you see fit. 

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.
