Lazy weekend poll ~ spring reading list, edition 5

Posted by Robin on 4 May 2024 270 Comments

(Update: I forgot to say that this is a 3 day poll! Use the comments section to talk about whatever you like on Monday, and there will be a new scent of the day poll on Tuesday.)

Welcome to our 5th annual spring reading poll! Please recommend a great book to add to our reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it.

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.

When we did this project in 2016 I wore Parfum d’Empire Azemour Les Orangers, and I suppose I ought to have come up with something else for this year, but it’s hard to beat Azemour Les Orangers…
