Is this weird? Buying Perfume

[MrsDrakeRamoray]

Posting here for traffic. I was fortunate enough to go on my first cruise holiday when I was 13, which was straight after Christmas. That year, I had got a perfume from my parents - Ghost (The first one) - and I took it on that cruise and every time I smell it, it reminds me of that holiday which was amazing. My next cruise holiday was around 9 years after that, and I wore the original Jimmy Choo perfume and I also bought a bottle of Ghost for the trip too.

Since then, I have went on a number of cruises and always bought and taken the same 2 perfumes as they remind me of the great holidays I've had onboard. Today, I had the same perfumes delivered and my DH thinks its weird that I do that and to try something else?

I do wear other perfumes when not on holiday, but it's only these 2 that I wear when away.

I don't get how that makes me weird! Am I? Does anyone else do this?

Good for them! Won't stop me going on them lol :)

Funny that, I also had Glow in my order too lol! Just a wee 30ml, but will get the bigger one next time as I love it!

👌Great taste OP. It's sunshine and glamour in a bottle to me. (plus it's one of the few perfumes that don't go 'weird' on my skin 😂)

The old Lush Rock Star soap takes me back to holidaying in my 20s :) I still have a little chunk of it in it's paper in the corner of my undie drawer and although it's lost a lot of it's scent i still very occasionally get a faint sugary whiff of it when i open the drawer.

It's not weird at all. Smells can bring back memories - both good and bad - so it makes sense that you want to smell the ones that bring you good memories.

I recently bought a bottle of perfume that I'd owned as a teen, because it reminds me of being in my bedroom, with no care in the world, chatting to my friends and reading magazines, before spending the evening with my family. I was so happy then and I didn't even know it - but the perfume takes me right back to those days and actually makes me feel calmer.

Either not weird, or I am also weird! My perfumes all have specific times, occasions and weathers that are the only times I wear them!
