I can’t remember ever buying perfume myself. ‘Obsession’ from my ex- husband and now, my lovely shopaholic daughter buys them and passes it on to me. Right now, there are two, on the little shelf by my front door - Red Door and Prada

This is embarrassing as I adore perfume. Elizabeth Arden Splendour tends to be my everyday spritz but if it is hot Bromley Citrine Lagoon. For night-time it is either Estee Lauder Beautiful or Cacherel Eden. The embarrassing bit is I have about 5 different perfumes unopened just waiting their chance. I never pay full price as I look out for offers. I somehow feel undressed without a Spritz of perfume even of just lolling about the house.

Just the one for me. "First" by van Cleef and Arpels. It's rare that I think to put it on these days.

Jo Malone Green Orange and Coriander, which also fades quickly, CanadianGran but I love it. I also have currently on the go a small bottle of something my DD gave me for a Christmas stocking filler called Cool Vetiver. It smells rather like an aftershave that DH wore a lot (though she didn’t know that) and I like it. I think it was from M&S.

Chanel No.19, for many many years. It’s getting difficult to find, maybe it’s been discontinued?

Jo Malone Basil, Lime and Mandarin - I'm such a classy bird, I've got the Aldi dupe of that!

Just to start a light-hearted conversation, how may fragrances are on your shelf, and do you wear them all?

I have only a few.

White Tea by Elizabeth Arden - it's my go to daily spritz, I wear it every day, even on days home.
Shiseido Zen Secret Bloom - this is my evening fragrance. My first real fragrance was the original Zen, but they stopped making it, and this is a similar but more floral version.
Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt - I have a tiny travel size sample that I toss in for travelling, but I find it fades quickly.

I think I've only ever had 2 full size bottles on the go, and switch up a travel size when I find something interesting. I will try a different daily light scent when I finish a bottle, but my evening scent will last for years.

Some women I know have a real collection of fragrances, some others only ever have one. Yours?
