Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ 4 questions for September 2025

Posted by Robin on 20 September 2025 132 Comments

The swapmeet is open for business! Meanwhile, a lazy weekend poll. As always, answer as many or as few questions as you like, or just talk about something else. 

1. Describe a perfume that you wish existed but doesn’t, so far as you know, and tell us what brand (or what perfumer) should make it. 

2. Name a book that has stayed with you years after reading it, and what’s the best matching perfume? (And PSA, our fall reading poll is coming up next month.)

3. You can have one bottle of perfume from any store in the world, top price $350. Don’t overthink it, it’s just a fantasy — name your pick!

4. Share something wonderful with us! It can be anything — any bit of good news, a fantastic TV series you’re binge-watching, something delicious you cooked recently, something fun you did — really, anything.

The swapmeet (episode 27) is open for business! PLEASE read the instructions! (For those of you who refuse to read the instructions, please do not respond to anyone else’s comment except to say that their email address does not work. ANYTHING else you need to say, say it in an email. If you insist on responding to a comment, I will delete your comment. If you want to know how to swap for something, see #6 below!) For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, swapping, there will be a poll along shortly.

Don’t know what swapping is, or you know but you’ve never tried it? See here. You can also take a look at the feedback from episode 3, episode 4, episode 5, episode 6 and episodes 7-8, episodes 9-10, episodes 11-17.

Please, do not participate if you do not have time to mail your items within the next three weeks! Hopefully, another swapmeet will be coming up in the spring…
