Two years ago, Boxer gifted me three vintage bottles from her MIL's collection: EDP, EDT, and Eau de Joy. I was beside myself. I still am. Iris is one of my faves, but I haven't tried the Decleor.

A baker's dozen of scented sins . . . hmmmm. Also, cinnamon is one of my all time favorite notes.

I say, wear whatever smells good to you. Same goes for men—no reason at all why they shouldn't wear "feminines." I once convinced a good male friend of ours to try a dose of vintage Shalimar parfum I'd just nicked for nothing at an antique store.
