Posted by Robin on 29 May 2020 361 Comments

The last Friday in May! Our community project for today: wear a perfume by The Different Company, Tauer Perfumes, Tokyo Milk, Tocca or Téo Cabanel, if you have one. Partial credit for any other small-ish brand that starts with the letter T.

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.
