It is so comforting. My mother wears Chanel No.5. I am lucky the women in my family have/had great taste. :)<br /><br />denise_22315 at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-27296339444376657472011-07-05T20:22:49.293-04:002011-07-05T20:22:49.293-04:00Thank you kind, Eileen!

I learn so much around here :-)<br /><br />Charlestongirl, you are very right about the fragrance application. Even though I own an obscene amount of perfume, more than I could ever use in two lifetimes, I don't apply heavily. I have a 3 year old and a 7 month old to consider. I use lovethescentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382961211263766637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-6071305019768713572011-07-05T19:45:40.676-04:002011-07-05T19:45:40.676-04:00Lovethescents,

Go easy on the fragrance...you never know when you'll run into a fragrance phobe!<br /><br />I had this gal who sat near my office door in a cube, and she complained about my diffuser. Everyone else thought it was wonderful. She told me it made her congested and sick.

My grandmother died over twenty years ago and the only other person alive who might have remembered it said, "Oh, good lord, Eileen, I never paid any attention to what Mom wore. She just smelled like Mom." So, there you go. And, as your examples pointed out, it's as much about the personal body chemistry Eileennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-88660753466199452742011-07-04T22:44:37.204-04:002011-07-04T22:44:37.204-04:00I'm thrilled you're loving this so much, C...I'm thrilled you're loving this so much, Charlestongirl. I hope you'll love it too, Eileen! Eileen, do you remember the name of the fragrance your grandmother wore?<br /><br />I love violets too. I don't get much powder from this one, it stays green on me for longer, I think. Isn't skin chemistry fantastic? Other violet loves are, of course, Guerlain's masterpiece, lovethescentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382961211263766637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-30011643470010943422011-07-04T22:34:16.277-04:002011-07-04T22:34:16.277-04:00I just ordered this and am eagerly awaiting it.

It is a scent, though, that haunts my memories and I'm always searching for THE one. Perhaps Verte Violette . . .Eileennoreply@blogger.com
