Friday scent of the day 4/25

Posted by on 134 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s also National DNA Day, World Penguin Day and Ella Fitzgerald’s birthday. Our community project for today: wear a lilac fragrance, if you have one. Thanks to chocolatemarzipan8 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.

Reminder: on 4/25, wear a lilac fragrance, if you have one. Suggested by chocolatemarzipan8…

Happy Friday and happy World Heritage Day / International Day for Monuments and Sites. Our community project for today: Pick a place you’ve visited, or would like to visit, that has “intangible cultural heritage”, tell us about it, and wear a fragrance you think fits for whatever reason.

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.
