I think I started with Caleche, moved on to Joy, then Ralph Lauren's Safari then, Chanel's Allure then to Gio de Giorgio Armani and Jill Sander No 4, (the latter two remain favourites) then became hideously allergic to anything perfumed for several years and now can only manage, surprise, surprise, L'Occitane's Vanilla.<br /><br />Word veri is "undab" - how appropriate!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-21060851815935290352009-04-20T14:43:00.000+01:002009-04-20T14:43:00.000+01:00I've just been catching up on your posts.

Definitely going to do that....<br /><br />I shared some of yours, including Chanel #5, Opium and Cinnabar (you're right, those two are STRONG) Once got Joy for Christmas but though I loved it in the bottle, on my skin I gagged!<br /><br />Now I wear Daisy. Started with the cologne and it just didn't stay with me for anytime. Then, I switched to the perfume and a little stays much longer. I love it. It's fresh and clean. I'm careful when I wear it though. Don't want to choke anyone else. I hate it when a woman enters the room or the car and her scent is so strong it takes 10 minutes to get to a point where I can't smell it.<br /><br />Oh in my younger years I wore Charlie and loved it.

What an opening!
My gran...A scenttrack of my life? What an opening!<br /><br />My grandmother's fave was Chanel #5. I don't know if I'd even recognize the scent, but the name conjures up images of her sweet smile as she opened her annual Christmas bottle of good smells.<br /><br />My mom may have had others but what we all remember was the bottle of 4711 sitting on her dressing table. I don't think any of my sisters nor I could resist a little spray on our forearms any more than sitting on her bed watching her get dressed to go out to a party. Black crepe sheath or red chiffon. Red lipstick outlining her lips just so. And a hint of the tropics from the perfume.<br /><br />I kind of got away from wearing perfume when I became fixated on matching bath gel and body lotion. One to wake me up in the morning, one to put me to sleep. I think I miss the spritz of good perfume.<br /><br />My husband bought me a bottle of Vivre in a little French perfumery in Nice. I felt very ooh-la-la. And wearing Tea Rose always made me feel, dare I say, rosy? Like a garden in the summer sun.<br /><br />A smell of Aramis takes me back to some forbidden times and Abercrombie's Fierce brings Sweetie to mind. <br /><br />I think I shall go douse myself in lavender to soothe my out of sorts soul.<br /><br />Sorry to write a book on your blog!Merry MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-3549393396989607332009-04-18T15:56:00.000+01:002009-04-18T15:56:00.000+01:00The main thing about perfume for me, is being able...The main thing about perfume for me, is being able to remember what my mum's favourite is!<br /><br />I have two or three bottles of aftershave: never opened.<br /><br />But I can appreciate how such things can help to form and to stir memories.
