Friday scent of the day 12/13

Posted by Robin on 13 December 2019 219 Comments

Happy Friday the 13th! Our community project for today is Scents of the Season, part 2…wear something that smells like baked goods, or has a baked goods accord, or just reminds you of holiday baking. Thanks go to thegoddessrena for the suggestion!

Then below the jump (yes, hidden away from all you UK folks who have probably seen it a million times already) this year’s John Lewis & Partners + Waitrose & Partners holiday advert. No Elton John this year, but it gave me an ear worm anyway.

Below that, a “behind the windows” video from Liberty London.
