Friday scent of the day 10/21
It’s Friday, and it’s Ursula LeGuin’s birthday. Our community project for today: choose a work of speculative fiction or a character from such a work, and wear the fragrance that you think fits.

Their invigorating scents mingled with the solar fragrance of the jasmine flowers in my garden. This beautiful Mediterranean scent is my childhood memory.
