I only buy cheapies now as nothing has the staying power it used to.M&S do very nice ones for £10.

I have found that my body chemistry has probably changed as I have aged (quite dramatically at the menopause)- because I love fragrance and have always had several "on the go".

I find that several are very different on me now even though they aren't necessarily ones that have been reformulated.

You can Google it.

I know Clinique said Aromatics has been reformulated.
It was to comply with EU and IFRA rules (around safety I seem to remember).

I have used the same perfume 'Beautiful ' for many years but I think they must have changed the formula because the last bottle has lost both potency and staying power . Have you any suggestions for a similar floral perfume that isn't in the silly price category.
