Lazy Sunday poll ~ open thread, late April 2023

Posted by Robin on 30 April 2023 160 Comments

It’s the last day in April plus International Jazz Day. We’re marking the day with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, your favorite jazz artist and the fragrance that you think fits their music, whatever.

Wednesday scent of the day 4/26
