What scent did your mum wear?

[shiveringtimber]

Mine wore l'Air du Temps when I was little. The scent of it takes me straight back to childhood.

I must ask the DC if there's any particular perfume that I wore that they associate with me.

I could never sleep with someone who wore Chanel No. 5 or Opium, as that's what my mum and dad respectively wore/wear! Instant turnoff.

Jean Patou "Joy"

My DS associates "4711" with me. My daughter borrowed some once and he said "You smell like Mom"! (She never borrowed it again.)

5th Avenue

My mum wears O de Lancôme... objectivity I like the smell and find it quite comforting, but it also makes me feel a bit sick which I think is a thrown back to feeling car sick on long journeys as a child!

My mother didnt wear perfume. Neither do I. Cant stand it, gives me a headache. But my granny used to wear 4711 and i like that. Anyone remember the song from the 70s? 4711 something something like champagne on your skin....

Fags, gin and Je Reviens by Worth

Coty L’aimant when I was a little girl. I haven’t smelled it for years.

Chanel No 5 and then when I was older Tresor. Dad wore Aramis.

Ysatis

Aww Georgia, why did she stop wearing it? I would have thought that was the ultimate compliment. My mum wore Samsara, it does not smell as good on me, but makes me happy every time I wear it.

Nahema by Guerlain, Coco by Chanel, L'Air Du Temps by Nina Ricci and Femme de Rochas. All such evocative scents.

Seriously tho. Imagine going out with a gorgeous, funny, smart bloke for the evening, really liking him, then as you lean in for a kiss you suddenly smell your dad. I don't think I'd be able to find my clit for a week.

Ma Griffe I think it was called - she had Opium regularly too but Ma Griffe is the one I remember most

Givenchy Ysatis

Magie noire

Rive Gauche

Anaïs anaïs

Blue Grass

Avon mus k, bristows hairspray and JPS.

Channel cristalle. She still wears it

Chanel not channel!

My mum has always been a bit of a magpie with perfume but she favoured ‘green’ sort of scents when I was younger. One of my favourites was Joy by Jean Patou (not green, favourite overall I mean).

My mum’s always worn Chanel no5

My grandma used to wear rive gauche and the smell always reminds me of her

Estee Lauder - White Linen - she still does. It makes me boak!
