The usual open thread drill: tell us anything you like — what your perfume is today, the last perfume you bought, the next perfume you're planning to buy, whatever. Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer. We're also happy to hear any complaints or suggestions you might have.
Two quick notes: I'm out of PXA tickets. If you still need a ticket, try Perfume Smellin' Things.
And some of you may remember that when we moved Now Smell This to a new domain in late March, we lost some of the old comments. I've now restored all of them that I can find, but I know some are still missing. If you should happen to come across an article that you're pretty sure used to have comments but they're not there, I'd much appreciate it if you'd leave a comment on that article to let me know.
