Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ open thread, mid June 2024
June is ambling by…the solstice is coming up on Thursday, and midsummer is generally somewhere between Friday and Monday depending on where you live (unless you live in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case this is all backwards and you know what to do.) We’re getting ready for the longest day of the year with our standard-issue open thread poll.
Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the perfect fragrance for a long and possibly scorching hot summer night, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Friday scent of the day 6/14
Happy Friday and happy National Bourbon Day! It’s also Flag Day and World Blood Donor Day. Birthdays: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Alois Alzheimer, Jerzy Kosiński, Laurie Colwin, Boy George. Our community project this week: it’s Roulette Friday! Devise a game of chance to choose your fragrance of the day. Thank you AnnieA for the suggestion!
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.
No points for me this week! I am still on vacation, and still in unscented lotion that I have doctored with sweet orange and ylang ylang oils. When I get home tomorrow I’ll pick a random sample to participate a day late. I am also again way behind on reading comments and will try to catch up on Sunday…
Thursday scent of the day 6/13
Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Softball Day! Birthdays: W. B. Yeats, Dorothy L. Sayers. What fragrance are you wearing?
Me: still on vacation, still in unscented lotion that I have doctored with sweet orange and ylang ylang oils.
Reminder: 6/14 will be Roulette Friday…
