I can’t recall the last time I didn’t wear perfume. If I can decide upon a perfume I’m doing this again next week. I’m thinking of either Chanel No. 22, Teo Cabanel Alahine or Serge Lutens Chergui.

A whiff of perfume can resurrect the past for those who’ve lived through it, but it can also recreate that time, offering a token of bygone days to others.
