Posted by Robin on 24 April 2021 2 Comments

Molinard's Habanita has its 100th birthday this year, and they're celebrating with this spiffy red bottle: "A perfume formula originating in 1921 and still in production and demand.

(Just check eBay, and you’ll see what I mean.) The lovers often appeared together on a park bench — that is, when they weren’t canoodling in a gazebo, a rowboat, or some similarly whimsical venue…
