The Monday Mail on Tuesday ~ help Amelia find a few new perfumes

We’re a day late because of the holiday weekend, but today we’re helping Amelia, who wants to find three new perfumes: a casual scent, a “night out” scent, and a wedding scent. She’d like the casual scent to be a budget item: no more than $20. She can pay up to $70 for the evening scent, and $80 for the wedding scent.

Here is what we know about Amelia:

She’s in her early 30s. She says she’s shy and calm, but a fun person to talk to once she feels comfortable with someone. She’s also humble and sincere, and pays attention to small details about her surroundings.

Before we begin today's poll, a couple quick pieces of business. First, no posts tomorrow or Monday. (Happy 4th of July to everyone who is celebrating!) We'll be back on Tuesday, and the 2nd quarter damage poll will be coming up on Thursday, so dig out all those receipts.

Today, the usual open thread: talk about anything you like — the perfume you’re wearing today, the perfume you're reaching for the most lately, whatever.

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