Robert never buys fragrances and exclusively wears a blend that is unique to his family – the same recipe has been handed down from generation to generation.
“Because I am of a certain age, I like very much the chypre fragrances, which are a very specific type of fragrance which smell beautiful when you wear them,” says Robert.

Happy World Oceans Day! We’re celebrating with our same old open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the fragrance that reminds you of your favorite spot by the ocean, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
The freebiemeet is open! PLEASE read the instructions, even if you’ve read them before! Really, pretty please, with sugar on top! There’s not even that many of them, and you will save us all so much time and confusion. This is not that hard. Plus, it’s free stuff! It’s all good, but it’s even better if you read the instructions. If you have any questions, please post them here.
For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, giving and getting free stuff, there will be a poll along shortly…
