To want to be a lady that wafts.

[Whiningatwine]

Ok, I'm the otherside of 40 and feel like I'm missing a trick. I have as long as I can remember used a nice perfume, but I can never smell it. I can smell it when I spray it on, but that is it. Am I blind to it because I have used it for so long, or am I missing a trick?

I always notice that some women smell lovely and it wafts around them. Are they just bathing in the stuff? Is there something else?

I thought it was going to be about the right to fart copiously in public. Bit disappointed.

Lynx Africa is your friend here. The boys at school would waft for hours!

It lasts longer if you spray it onto cotton wool and tuck it in your bra.

Aromatics doesn't waft, it leaves a trail. I cycle to work along a mile long tow path, everyday a woman cycles past me going the other way. She wears aromatics, and I am not kidding that I can smell her scent trail all the way along that cycle path in the direction she came from. Please be careful with that stuff - it's got the biggest sillage of any scent I've ever known.

Apparently if you can smell your own perfume after 5 minutes you are wearing too much.

Ask someone else if they can smell your perfume? I'm told regularly that I smell nice but can't smell myself.

Oh I only have the faintest spritz, one quick squirt spread out! It's too bloody expensive to bathe in! By the sound of it, she must douse herself in it before she leaves the house! Like a lot of men and aftershave! Knocks me sick if it's too much!

Sorry, I forgot to add that I love aromatics! But, yes, it does only need one spritz - which also makes it worth the price. It sticks very well to fabrics as well, so if you put it on a scarf it can last days.

I also like the smell of Poison (on other people, I don't like it on myself for some reason), but again, you only need a bit otherwise it will fill a room easily. It can be tricky to get the "waft level" correct with some of the powerhouse scents.

I’ve used Chanel No 5 for 30 years and it does waft, but I don’t notice it!

Try using the (it holds scent better) and also lightly spraying clothing which does the same.
