Flare Those Nostrils, Honey!

In the last 12 months we’ve let down our hair and jawed about what we’re reading, listening to, watching, wearing and eating….but we’ve never talked about what we’re smelling. So, let’s have a gas!

1. What fragrance are you wearing? (And if you don’t wear scent, what do you smell like————- Wool and Galoshes? Dog fur and Onion Rings? Cashmere and Coffee?

2. What’s your favorite scent-memory from childhood

3. What does your house smell like today?

4. What’s your most-loved scent in all the world?
