ReplyDeleteEpris was the best perfume I ever had and still have some from ebay. Wish Max Factor would bring it back. It would sell so fast.
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY!!! EPRIS made you glad you were born a woman, but like a woman, you KNEW when NOT to be a “lady” !!! LOL I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT If I remember my French correctly, I believe “EPRIS” loosely means “INFATUATION” or something close to it. But being I can STILL recall the scent AFTER NEARLY FIFTY YRS, I WOULD say it is more than an “INFATUATION”, LOL
Delete“EPRIS” made you glad you were born a woman. And, AFTER NEARLY FIFTY YEARS, EPRIS IS MUCH MORE THAN AN “INFATUATION”. Luckily, I remember my French
