Happy Chypre Friday! (Also, World Press Freedom Day and International Sun Day.) Our community project for today: wear a chypre fragrance of any sort — classic or modern or post-modern. (This is a repeat from 2016.)
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…
