Merry Xmas!
I get that all the timeI'm in two minds about this new one. I don't like it when I first put it on but there's something a bit sexy about it later on
I've changed my perfume for the first time in 20 yrs and it feels like I'm being unfaithful

I used to use Poison most of the time but it got too heavy for me so for the last few yrs I've been wearing DKNY energising parfum. There's loads of perfumes I really don't like the smell of or that smell ick on me but fine on others. It's a very personal thing!
Weeps, airports are for buying perfume!! Moomoo, can you wear prefumed body lotion at all? My aunt can do that but not wear perfume.

I used to wear 'My Sin' by Lanvin, then it was discontinued. I wore Youth Dew by Estee Lauder but then everyone else discovered it and I was embarrassed. After that came Charlie and then I realised it was shit. Chanel came next, then JPG, then Vivienne Westwood followed by Angel by Thierry Mugler. My youngest son bought a bottle of Prada by mistake and gave it to me about 4 years ago.I've been wearing it ever since. I think as we change we change our perfume, unless we're boring 
Is this a recent thing? I became allergic to perfume during the menopause. (not that I'm saying you're menopausal or anything)I'm allergic to perfume.
But don't you find that the 'you' is changing all the time?

Yes, of course I do. However, fundamental things like what I like the smell of stays pretty static.

Does anyone know what I mean?
Where exactly have you been rubbing this perfume?
It's all downhill now then
No, it's not really. You've got a few years yet before it goes downhill.

It's all been going downhill since my 30's. I fully expect it to start going uphill again after 50It's all downhill now then

I don't know when I started going uphill again but apart from the saggy face it does get better after a while. 60's are the new 30's
In this house anyway!I don't know when I started going uphill again but apart from the saggy face it does get better after a while. 60's are the new 30's

No, it started about 6 years ago. I bought a duty free bottle of my favourite perfume, sprayed it on and immediately came out in a really bad itchy rash. Haven't been able to wear perfume since!

i've changed my perfume recently - the fifth in 18 years.
age 19 - 26: Jean Paul Gaultier (original)
age 26 - 33: Gucci Rush
age 33 - 35: Agent Provocateur Maitresse
age 35 - 37: Viktor and Rolf - Flowerbomb (summer version)
age 37 -> : Jo Malone - Red Roses
I used to like having a signature scent, but there are too many gorgeous perfumes out there. I can't resist.

i shall take you to jo malone. we can go to selfridges: they have all the other perfumes too... but jo maone has my heart. I can't decide whether i want more Red Roses, or Wild Pear and Fresia, or Fig and Cassis... you might like Pomegranate Noir.

I must admit I'm not very adventurous when it comes to perfume... although when I do I wear Armani City Glam (as I have for about 5 years).

WW Tyrion do?
I have worn opium for the last 28 years, a very small amount during the day, heavier at night. It warms up on me and fades to the most lovely Amber / spicy scent - although I don't like it on anyone else it does just suit me. Only the original version, the lighter and more oriental ones are horrid on me.
I do try other perfumes from time to time but always darker /spicy / oriental ones. So recently tried Keihls musk, Jo Malone pomegranate noir and the fig and cassis one. But always go back to opium.
