CK1 and CK1 Summer. Up until 12 months ago I had never been a perfume wearer, tried it in the duty free on the way back to the UK, liked it and bought it at Gatwick on the way back.
I don't like the really heavy strong perfumes, or the very sweet ones. Not unusual for women to like aftershave or cologne, only a smell after all!

A friend had a really lovely smell and I said what ever is that perfume you are wearing, I must get it and she said Poison - I could not believe it, I hate the smell on me with a passion! lol

What great memories reading this thread and remembering some of the great perfumes. I do love most of the Crabtree and Evelyn range. Wear Blue Grass for work and always get compliments.

Love and Peace

My Favourite is "RED DOOR"

But speaking of days gone by when I was a very young I couldn't afford expensive Perfume only one I remember from then was "California Poppy" it was cheap lol. Oh and "Evening in Paris" was another one that wasn't too expensive.
I don't think we were as fussy in those days as we are today.

I remember fondly my Daughter buying me Anais Anais when she received her first week's wage, I hadn't heard of it then, she also bought White Linen.

Know what you mean Dee, about perfume putting folk off.
A while back,I was swimming on holiday and someone was 'wearing' ( apart from costume lol ) Poison, so strong found it hard to breathe urrgh

which we wafted about ..........
