White Dirmonds by Estee Lauder. I have a cardigan and this perfume in a special box . I would love just one more hug from her while wearing this . She wasn't glamorous but wore expensive pretty conservative clothes .

Was White Diamonds not Elizabeth Taylor ?

No make up, no perfume, hair not ‘done’ and just whatever she was comfortable in. She is the most beautiful woman in the world to me as she is the best woman I know.
My parents are in their 70s and my dad is still madly in love with my mum after over 50 years. He hates going to bed without her. When one’s finally goes I feel the other one will go shortly after. It is proper true love stuff.

Chanel No 19. I used to smell her silk scarves tied to the bottom of the bannister when I was little.
