Tuesday scent of the day 4/18

Posted by Robin on 18 April 2023 198 Comments

It’s Tuesday and the World Heritage Day / International Day for Monuments and Sites. What fragrance are you wearing?

(In case it helps anyone, I almost went with Strange Invisible Perfumes Magazine Street; I’m all out of Florida Water or that would have been another contender.)
