MiL used to wear an Avon perfume and it smelled great on her, like something expensive, but the same one on me was horrid....

I bought a bottle of Je Riviens a couple of years ago, as I wore it on honeymoon and for years around that time......and it smelled awful on me......so it is in the kitchen, and I use it as an air spray.....

My Uncle buys me gift sets for Christmas......so I have Chanel No 5 in the toilet and another called Kenzo? used as air fresheners........and this year it is Blue Linen, I think its called......oblong white opaque glass with a pale blue lid......now that smells nice on me....

Must be something to do with my skin I think....

sally

Just checked.....goodness knows where I got Blue Linen from......it is called Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana.....

Sorry Marilyn.......its a nice bottle though like a bubble with a tapered neck with gold bands and a ball lid.......but I just don't get on with it.......nobody in the family wanted it, so I leave it in the little loo.....

Marilyn! Chanel no 5 honestly? you are kidding aren't you?
There is no way that stuff would come any where near my body.
Just the smell from the bottle is enough. Honestly I don't like it.

I am not calling you an old lady by the way. ooer i better leg it quick! LOL
