Helena Rubenstein Heaven Sent and Anais, Anais.
I used to have bath on a Saturday night, using a sachet of Acqua Manda bubble bath, bought with my wage, from my Saturday job in the Co-op department store.
I thought I was so sophisticated!

I wore Blue Grass too years ago. Have loved for ages and still wear Anais Anais, Rive Gauche and Rose by L’Occitane. Not all at once! A new favourite is Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

At 16, going to a dance, a friend sprayed me with Diorissimo, from a bottle given to her mother. It smells of lily of the valley and it has been my favourite ever since. I, too, also love Blue Grass. I wear it mainly in winter because it is a warm winterscent. I am wearing it at the moment.

Apart from wearing other (much less expensive) perfumes that have a Lilt of the valley scent close to Diorissimo, the only other scent I have worn is eau de Cologne 4711.

With all the expensive perfume ads on telly at the moment I was just thinking of the various scents that have been popular across the years. As a very young adult I loved Anais Anais, then like so many people in the 1980s I adored White Linen. That smell would take me straight back to my early 20s. Then I wore Clarins Eau Dynamisante for years and now wear Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana.
