May is flying by! We’re taking a brief rest break with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the last fragrance you had a dream about (or spotted in a book or movie?), whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
Happy Friday and happy International Day of Argania! (Also, National Shrimp Day, plus some birthdays: Tonita Peña, Fred Astaire, David O.

Wear a perfume that is named for a place in Morocco, or that reminds you of a (real or imaginary) trip to Morocco, or that features a local ingredient, or ?
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.
