Wednesday scent of the day 9/9 :: Now Smell This

It’s Wednesday, plus Leo Tolstoy’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’ve been commando since August 27, and probably will be for the next little bit.
Reminder: the community project this week is the same as last week’s! Wear a fragrance that celebrates how there is never enough time to do everything you ought to do!
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2026, where I’ll occasionally manage to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
