Perfume I don't like

7 replies

I bought a perfume a while ago, I loved it in the shop but since wearing it find it a little too sweet so don't like wearing it. Has anyone got ideas on how to use it in other ways, or better still tone it down somehow?
It's not particularly expensive, I just hate waste!

Try it with other perfumes. I bought a perfume I didn't like but when I mixed it it was nice and I had people in the street and supermarket asking me what I was wearing.

I listed a perfume on Facebook marketplace to sell or swap. I swapped it with a lovely one with a lovely lady down the road!

Buy some brown paper from the post office. Spray perfume onto brown paper. Use brown paper to line drawers - bed room, guest room, towel drawers etc.

"I'd stay away from the patchouli. It tends to intensify sweet.

Try citrus, rose, or dry balsam to cut the sweetness. Vetiver could work too. Also, powdery fragrances."
