But speaking of posts, you, trapped in a car with elderly aunts doing the French thing would make a hilarious post. :)<br /><br />Fishducky : You're right. Perfume covers up what deodorant has forgotten. After I read all these comments on perfume, I put on a dab from my old bottle of Pheromone by Marilyn Miglin just to remember what it smells like.

Many years we bought a weekend home at a very small, laid back (read "hick") beach about an hour north of Los Angeles. Shortly after moving in we were invited to a semi-formal dinner at the local naval base. Trying to get an idea of how to dress, I asked my neighbor what "semi-formal" meant there. Her answer? "Deodorant OR perfume!"

To this day, strong perfume will give me a migraine. <br /><br />So a little goes a long way! <br /><br />Would love to hear more about your life in Morocco.

They sell old fashioned things that are long out of style.<br /><br />Talli : I've not heard of it but I haven't noticed perfumes in years. The name alone, is intriguing.

I picked a really ugly, glass talc powder dish with a powder puff. Everyone thought it was a weird pick, until i opened it up and let them all take a whiff... it smelled like Grandma. Still does, years later. <br />I don't use it.

You could still wear it around your home. I do the fragrance just for me now. I use incense in my home. I like that and I don't use it if I know company is coming but I don't have much company anyway. :) I make my own soap and I use lovely oils that are kind to my skin. I put a little fragrance in my soap because I like it when I'm washing with it. I don't think it stays on my skin.... at least my daughter has never told me so and she is terribly allergic to fragrance.<br /><br />Cherie : Yes, I recall "opium." I guess I like fragrance for myself because I cut out those long perfume ad samples from magazines and use them for bookmarks. It gives my books a faint pleasant smell and I love it. When I became an adult I started wearing Pheromone by Marilyn Miglan. I wore that for years and years. When my Granddaughter was little she liked to cuddle up in my coats because she said they "smelled like Nana." But now I smell like nothing, at least artificial. It's really rather sad, isn't it, because fragrance has always been such an important part of women.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-36015268264388090172011-05-18T05:50:43.656-07:002011-05-18T05:50:43.656-07:00I do remember Eveining in Paris.
