Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ open thread, Labor Day Weekend 2024
PSA: our next swapmeet will start on Saturday, 21 September.
Meanwhile, it’s Labor Day weekend in the US. We’re marking the holiday with our same old open thread poll,. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that says “3 day weekend” to you, what you’re planning to buy at a Labor Day sale (and feel free to share any coupons or deals), whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
The fragrance I wore the most this summer was an unscented lotion that I have (liberally) doctored with sweet orange and ylang ylang oils. I wear it nearly every day, often underneath whatever other fragrance I am wearing, and I usually reapply in the evening. Right now I’m wearing it underneath Jour d’Hermès…
