Here we go. Suggest a scent to the work of art in the latest post and then post your own painting or sculpture.

Thomas Gainsborough, Mr and Mrs Andrews (c. 1750)



What scent should she wear? And him?

Fun! My personal reaction was immediate - Creed Original Santal. Possibly one too many sprays.

You have to click Insert Image button and paste the link in this from(it cannot finish with "/") http://i52.tinypic.com/10xae86.jpg
Or you just put img bbcode around your link [.IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/10xae86.jpg[./IMG] (without dots)

So it should always look like this [.IMG]http://somewebsite.com/image.jpg[./IMG] (without dots)
