Perfume doesn't seem to last

My perfume doesn't seem to last either - presumably an age thing?

I use parfum rather than anything else and spray onto my clothes as recommended by the Clinique woman. I am often complimented on how nice I smell blush even though I can't smell it myself. As I am complimented, I presume that it's not overpowering. In fact, there are plenty of people who would let me know if it was!!

Spray a little on your bra. It seems to last longer there than on my skin.

You can't smell your own perfume after a while - don't overdo it because other people certainly can! grin

Anyone got any tricks on how to make perfume last. It seems to disappear on me before I have made it out the door.

I always buy parfum as opposed to la toilette as it is stronger but still doesn't seem to last. Are they making it weaker or perhaps my sense of smell isn't as keen as it was. I don't have trouble smelling nasty smells.

What do others think
