It’s Friday the 13th and World Softball Day. Birthdays: W. B. Yeats, Dorothy L. Sayers. Our community project for today: wear an incense fragrance, if you have one. (This is a repeat; thanks go to ringthing for the suggestion!)
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’m in Comme des Garçons Ouarzazate, which I included in 5 perfumes: incense fragrances for summer.
Reminder:Â 6/20 is Brian Wilson’s birthday (and the summer solstice). Scent a Beach Boys song, or honor Brian Williams with your fragrance in any other way you see fit. (For lillyjo, who asked for another music cp.)
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.
Note: top image is Funeral Ritual in a Garden, Tomb of Minnakht, ca. 1479–1425 B.C, facsimile painted at the tomb in 1921 by Charles K. Wilkinson, via Metropolitan Museum of Art, public domain. “This facsimile painting copies a section of wall painting in the tomb of Minnakht (TT 87) in western Thebes. The scene depicts a garden surrounding a building with a large pool in front of it. In the lowest register, two men stand in front of small offering tables. Each man pours a libation with one hand and holds a brazier with burning incense in the other.”
