Friday scent of the day 11/28

Posted by Robin on 28 November 2014 145 Comments

The Body Shop White Musk Libertine

Happy Black Friday! And happy Cheap Thrills Friday. Our community project for today: wear something that costs $50 or below, double bonus points if it costs $25 or below. No points for wearing something expensive that you bought cheaply via a sample or decant or somesuch! We’re trying to find real bargains here.

As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you aren’t participating in the community project.

I’m wearing The Body Shop White Musk Libertine. It is $24 for 30 ml, but only if you don’t wait for one of The Body Shop’s frequent sales. I paid $12 for my bottle.

Reminder: next Friday, 12/5, is Friday At The Mall…
