Need a new perfume - fast.

Tom Ford---Black Orchid. Scrummy.

Floral Street have a good range - new light and different without being overpowering. You can buy a little discovery sample set to see which ones you prefer. They are also sustainable, what more could you want. Just Google them.

Bloom . Gucci. Expensive but delicious. (IMO of course)

Aromatics has probably had its day kitty (don’t want to hurt your feelings).
Children are allowed to be so blunt aren’t they?

Do you want something as exotic as Aromatics? Or do you fancy a complete change?

Off to the beauty counter you go! Wander about, perhaps ask the clerk what is new and noteworthy. Let them you know your preference for base scent, for instance floral, musk or citrus notes.

We are all so different; what one loves another will turn their nose up (literally). I just googled 'best new perfumes for summer 2020' and was surprised at the expense of some suggested. Think of it as an investment; you will imprint a memory in your grandchildren.

Jo Malone perfumes are wonderful

Viktor and Rolf have a perfume called Flowerbomb, got it for Christmas one year, and everyone compliments me on how wonderful i smell when i wear it, and ask me what it is.

I should have said, perfumes dont last on me but Aromatics did.

puzzler, I'm cut to the quick!

Isn't that a weird expression?

It was my sister’s “signature fragrance” but she stopped wearing it (says running away) ...... about 15 years ago).

There are so many, too many to choose from, but can you give us an idea of what you would like people to get a whiff of as you pass them?
* a light floral
* a woody almost masculine fragrance
* heavy long lasting perfume like Aromatics
* herbal notes
* green, sharp fragrance
* sexy ?

You're making it worse now!!

(Slinks always with tail between legs) Sorry kitty ?

Jo Malone or Jo Loves, I used to wear Clinique fragrance until DS said it was an old lady smell and that was 10 years ago!

Perfume likes and dislikes are very subjective, I have at the moment Hermes Eau de Merveilles my favourite for a while now a blend of vetiver, oak cedar for the top notes according to the blurb Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay, nice and floral but fades quickly. These next two last, Guerlain Mitsouko my late m-i-law first bought this for me, I've liked it ever since quite strong and a bit peppery, hope it's not too old lady ish, it was launched a long time ago, but I find some of the older scents more memorable. I also have Chanel's Coco and like their No. 5 both classics imo.

I love Jo Malone "Grapefuit"...........definitely not old ladyish!

I like Coco Chanel’s Mademoiselle , it is a sweet perfume I.M.O.

Apparently "old person smell" is a real thing. (I think there was a thread on it recently.} It can develop as early as 40 and is caused by the chemical compound nonenal. It can be helped by using persimmon soap. Unfortunately it is rather expensive.

One of my grandma's doused herself in 4711, I associated that with old ladies when I was a young gal!

A very good reason for wearing perfume rockgran.
It will go higher on my purchasing priority list (near hair dye and fungal nail treatment).

I hate Aromatics with a vengeance! So many women seem to wear it....

You will need to choose a new one yourself as perfume smells different on everyone.

I had some samples sent from Jo loves the Lemon leaves one is fab very fresh and different not heavy or cloying and it lasted all day.

My daughter always said I liked old lady smelling perfumes.
I might have to try Aromatics.
It sounds very exotic.

Aromatics is the oldest Clinique perfume - it goes back to the early 1970s. If you like it why not look at more modern Clinique fragrances?

I hope it isn't nonenal... ?

In the summer I wear Clarins Eau des Jardins. In the winter Dior Joy. But Kitty you couldn’t wear the same as me. ??

Rub yourself all over with a Haribo. You'll definitely not smell like old lady then. Or perhaps Trésor by Lancôme?
