Crusade 26 - Scent of the Season

Hi all!
This is my first participation in Michelle Ward's very cool crusade challenges. It was actually due last month (oops!) but been fiddling around with this blog, so anyways here is my journal page result.

The challenge was to journal on the theme "Scent of the season".. choose a scent, christmas scent reminders, whatever comes to mind. I started off thinking of the pine tree smell of a christmas tree. and I really had planned to get a fresh one this year.. but ended up sticking with my artificial tree so that went by the wayside.

Another suggestion of Michelle's was to select a scent and wear it, have it in your home and embrace that as your scent of the season.. being in budget mode, I didnt buy a scent to embrace and my current ones werent grabbing me. But! I am in decluttering mode! And I had been hanging on to this lovely Kenzo fragrance bottle that I recently finished. I adore this purfume! So I took it's photo, happily honored it in my journal and then threw it away! yay I made art and got rid of something I didnt need.

Fragrance spread - Kenzo Orient is spicy and woody. Besides, the black, red, silver, orient packaging... its gotta smell good! hehee

The image printed on the rice paper(?) is part of the packaging for the fragrance. It comes inside the box and still faintly smells of the purfume. Almost worth buying this fragrance for that alone.

Thanks for the challenge Michelle! By the way I have taken to noting fragrance much more in my journal. Smell of anti-mosquito spray while camping, the smell of mussels as I remove their shells (what a job!), spritzing honey room spray at a tourist shop... all good things.
