This morning I’m in Guerlain Jicky, and drinking a cup of Yunnan Gold from Teaism. Messing about online last night, I found reports of 3 other perfumes Colette might have worn: Coty Jasmin de Corse, Balmain Vent Vert, and Robert Piguet Fracas. (I found these reports because I went looking to see if she wore Fracas, because she would have, right? Although I think she was in her 70s by the time Vent Vert or Fracas launched. This afternoon I will go looking for my Histoires de Parfums 1873 Colette — somewhere I have a small decant.)

It’s Friday and Christian Dior’s birthday (also, International Sweatpants Day, and Dior can help you with that). Our community project for today: wear a Dior fragrance. (This is a repeat from 2014.)
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.
I’m in vintage Diorissimo…Eau de Toilette on one arm and Eau de Cologne on the other. They are blending nicely with the paperwhites on my windowsill…
