I have absorbent skin and any nice light flowery perfume vanishes on me within minutes and only the heavier ones remain. The heavier scents also seem to smell different on me, for example when I used to wear Poison loads of people would ask
what my lovely perfume was and when I told them they would say “it doesn’t smell like that on me”.
I always wear Chanel No5 as my going out perfume and for day time I’ve worn Poison, Black Opium and Vivienne Westwood Boudoir, but I fancy a change and my mum asked me what I would like for Christmas so I trawled round my local department store having a squirt and settled on Viktor Rolf Spicebomb. I have just received a text from my mum asking if I knew it was a mans fragrance? Part of me ‘thinks what the hell, I like it’ the other thinks people with think I’ve been raiding DH’s aftershave stash. What do I do?
