As September draws to a close — where has this year gone? — I’m trying to catch up on the year’s releases. Here are two more, and look for more multi-scent reviews over the coming month.

Hey, it’s Antoine Friday! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance by perfumer Antoine Lie or Antoine Maisondieu, if you have one.
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.
Me: double points, for Etat Libre d’Orange Rossy de Palma Eau de Protection (and I ought to get extra credit given how long it took me to find my sample), by both Antoines.
Reminder: 6/9 will be Fruity Friday…
