Friday scent of the day 8/31

Posted by Robin on 31 August 2018 295 Comments

That’s it for August, so don’t forget your rabbits tomorrow! And happy Fabric Friday. Our community project for today: wear a perfume named for some type of clothing or fabric, OR wear a scent you associate with a certain kind of clothing or fabric, OR wear a perfume with a fabric-related note (suede, cotton, etc). Thanks to Glannys 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.

Thursday scent of the day 8/30

Happy Almost-Friday, and happy Toasted Marshmallow Day! What fragrance are you wearing?

Me: still at the beach, where it is way too hot to be thinking about toasting marshmallows unless you do it inside over the gas burner. I have overslept, again, and have not yet thought about scent but it will probably be Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Whipped Body Cream.

Reminder: on 8/31 we’re doing Fabric Friday…
