Friday is finally here! Our community project for today: pick your poison BWF…wear a perfume with tuberose, gardenia or both.
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.

It’s sugar and cream, whipped and fluffy. It smells like whipped sugar in the air. … It’s not artificial and sugary and sickening. It smells fluffy and light.

Several body sprays (including Vanillary and Rose Jam) are back in stock at Lush USA, but of course the one that caught my eye is UK only: Big. "Dishevelled and breezy, this sunkissed citrus perfume is unexpectedly evocative. Sweet not sharp, Mediterranean orange flower and neroli counter juicy mandarin, creating heady floral undertones. A postcard perfume made of relaxed summer notes; on your skin, holidays are revisited, and mandarin is reinvented." £25 for 200 ml. The UK also has a bunch of new and/or reissued perfumes, some in oil format: Butterball, Grass, Yog Nog, American Cream and Lord of Misrule. (And the Spritzen gift set includes 15 ml bottles of Butterball, Yog Nog and Lord of Misrule for £49.)
Happy Almost-Friday! It’s also Saint Nicholas Day, Ira Gershwin’s birthday, and in Canada, it’s the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. What fragrance are you wearing?

Reminder: on 12/7, pick your poison BWF…
