Friday scent of the day 5/4
Happy Friday, and May The Fourth Be With You! Our community project for today: it’s Star Wars Day. Do what you like with the theme!
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.

The daily lemming
Fans of Chanel No. 5 L'Eau might need one or both: On Hand Cream ("This limited-edition cream is a novel, sensual way to nourish and delicately scent the hands and body.", $55 for 50 ml) or All-Over Spray ("A generous and portable scented spray to use anytime of day to refresh and lightly revive the notes of the modern scent.", $60 for 150 ml). At Saks Fifth Avenue (and other stores as well).
