Believe it or not you can still buy it at the stores.

I had to laugh when I read your story as our French visitors gave my husband and I perfume/cologne as gifts and now there are a grand total of 4 bottles on my dresser (one of them being my husbands). My husband never wears cologne and one day recently he put some on and then asked me what I smelled and I thought it was laundry detergent (sigh). <br><br>I love perfume bottles, but not the perfumes.

Yay! <br><br>I personally have 6 very small samplers of solid perfume, from Sweet Anthem. This is mainly due to my inability to NOT buy things from her. I tend to buy many, and then give them all away. I have never found my singular signature scent, and with my allergies I don't even wear perfume regularly. But if you DO wear perfume daily, having 5 seems excessive to me. (unless, perhaps, you change them with each season?)<br><br>I do love those little books with the Oscar Wilde quotes!

I adore fragrance, and feel "undressed" without it. I used to work for Estee Lauder years ago, and I learned that there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to wear it. And no, you don't want your fragrance to announce your presence before others can even see you! Some people are allergic as a couple of commenters pointed out, and even though I can wear quite a few, quite a few others make me sneeze! The best thing is to try out a tiny amount first, and if that is successful, buy a larger bottle next time. The shelf life is only about two to three years if kept out of sunlight and the bathroom, so purchase only what you will wear. Otherwise, you are wasting your money. Perfume is like good food and wine -- to be used and enjoyed.Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681743103386838795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820471780736941349.post-42899206839905762962013-10-29T11:26:20.326-05:002013-10-29T11:26:20.326-05:00I love those little perfume books, what a neat thi...I love those little perfume books, what a neat thing! Your friends are very sweet, including Patty. I have had as many as five bottles, only because hubby never knows what to buy me on special occasions. I recently tossed some that were old and I didn't like (you know they evaporates over time?).
