Friday scent of the day 1/20
It’s Friday and the International Day of Acceptance. RIP David Crosby. And happy 77th to David Lynch! Our community project for today: Pick a favorite Lynch work or character and wear a scent to match, or pick a theme (split roles? doppelgangers? surrealism?) and work with that for your fragrance choice. If you don’t know (or care about) his work, you could just wear something a little weird or off-kilter.
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.

Seemed like the real thing…

According to Frida Giannini, Gucci's Creative Director, "I wanted our first television advertising campaign to have that whimsical touch from a visionary film director such as David Lynch. I wanted him to capture the total essence of Gucci - and I'm thrilled with the result". (via vogue.co.uk)
