Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ open thread, early November 2026

Posted by Robin on 7 November 2026 34 Comments

It’s the weekend, plus Diwali, plus Joni Mitchell’s 83rd and Bonnie Raitt’s 77th. We’re celebrating everything, including Chaos Never Dies Day coming up on Monday, with our usual open thread poll. 

Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that helps you accept the chaos, whatever.

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ open thread, late September 2026

Posted by Robin on 20 September 2026 166 Comments

PSA: our next swapmeet will probably (with apologies, it is possible I will have to reschedule later in the month) start on Saturday, 3 October. I am hoping to post a new poll this coming Wednesday, and to possibly start to catch up with new perfume announcements in the meantime.

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
