June is flying by, folks! It’s already Juneteenth, and the June solstice is on Sunday, as is Father’s Day. We’re marking all of it with our standard open thread poll.
Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance your father (or any father figure in your life) wore, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Happy Bottle Porn Friday (edition 3)! Our community project for today: wear something you bought in part or in full because of the bottle, or a fragrance you think has a beautiful (or otherwise perfect) bottle. Thanks to michael and happy888cat, who suggested we repeat this project (we already did it in 2015 and 2017).
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.
I’m in Annick Goutal Mandragore, in the original purple gadroon bottle. I always thought that everything about the bottle — the color, the shape, the label hanging from a ribbon — was perfect for the scent, and I do appreciate the scent much more now than I did when I reviewed it in 2005. The men’s packaging with the gold pattern on the bottle was even better, but I own the women’s because that’s what I found at discount. I do not love the newer Goutal packaging, not that it matters since they don’t make Mandragore these days (other than Mandragore Pourpre)…
