I wear drugstore scents

[JulieDB]

I wear Obsession... but not very often so mine also lasts a long time.

I wore that for many years. I love all of Calvin Klein except for the CK scents. I tried some others and the last I wore was Euphoria. I was getting complaints from people that it was overwhelming. So... I switched to Volupte. It seems to have most of the same notes but I don't like it quite as much. And I wasn't able to find it locally.

So I bought some Emeraude. I had thought I could find that anywhere and half price after Christmas. But... No! Had to mail order it. Still it is not expensive and it has most of the same notes as Obsession.

During the summer I wore body sprays that I got free with antiperspirants. But I was at a school function and a lady had one of those on. I couldn't stant the scent. And I think it is one that I have. So no more of those.

Does good perfume lose its scent eventually? DH is still on a 7 year old bottle of eternity, and I have some expensive perfumes I rarely wear.

It will change over time. I wear it every day so most of the time a bottle lasts me a year or two, if that.

Yes, chemically they do change over time.

I love Diamonds and Sapphires and have worn it for years. Used to be available at higher-end department stores, but now I can get it at TJ Maxx for $13-15/bottle.

I don't really care for body sprays at all.

I use "magie nois" or something like that from Lancomme. From time to time, my husband says, "that smells nice" and other times, "what the ** are you using?" I also use Red Door which is in my travel bag. He sometimes thinks that's great, but, other times, thinks it stinks. I think his nose has a problem. I have also tried Eternity by CK, but, that doesn't really do the trick for me. My favorite is White Shoulders, but, I don't have any right now.

Because this thread got me to thinking about it I got out my old favorite - Hope - and put it on today. I asked my youngest to smell it on me and she said "smells like old lady perfume." I still love it and have enjoyed having it on.
