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…

From Subtle Bodies, Taiwanese Hinoki Incense: "The Hinoki comes from a dedicated plantation situated in the mountain highlands of Taiwan.
