I am still using what I was using last time a thread about perfume was around. Vanderbilt (which has now become very cheap) and Eternity which is my all time favourite, both perfumes seems to last and I am always asked what perfume I am wearing.
Years ago my favourite was Opium but I felt it became overpowering, still have some Tabu, also overpowering, have some 5th Avenue but find it a bit ordinary, bit light. Have stuff hubby has bought and I am not in love with, shhhh, don't tell him.
I used to love Kiss - Sex In The City until I discovered Lovely by Sarah J Parker.
It happened like this:
My son and his girlfriend who live in London had amassed some frequent flyer points redeemable in Australia, but their goods could only be posted within Australia
So they asked me to receive them at my adress and forward on the UK. Of course I said yes no worries. Nothing more was said and I thought no more about it.
Weeks later, a parcel turns up at work addressed to me. It was a bottle of Lovely. I was totally mystified and asked everybody in my circle of friends and relos if they'd sent it. Thought I might've had a secret admirer. Maybe a grateful client. Never thought to ask my DIL.
I opened the bottle and tried it. Might as well, I thought.
Weeks later my son skypes and says hey Mum did Alex's bottle of perfume turn up yet?
OMG. I had to race and buy a bottle here off ebay and post it post-haste. All good.
I've been wearing Lovely ever since
