*Alurra, You’re welcome! I’m fascinated by people’s love and hate of fragrances – I’m very sensitive to smells and have been known to refuse a date purely because I didn’t like the smell of the woman, only later finding out that the person wasn’t that nice. I confess to liking to meet up before a ‘real’ date so I can smell her/hym without cologne.

To me, the Poison perfume is a toxic chemical – One of my Maori Grandmother’s friends always used to wear it. *Twitches*

*Inuus, Ummm……yes! Your odd, but, the I’ve been told I’m odd for some of the smells I like……leather for one. *Blushes*

*Jagg, Funny you should say about Febreeze, many people I know can’t stand that smell, me included.

*Guihong, Lavender is in there with ‘Grannies’ Dressing Table smell of fragrances as you described, lol!

I love the smell of oranges, but, sadly, I’m allergic to them – even just the smell will start an allergic reaction.

*Katzchen, I use essential oils a lot – in my homemade shampoos, etc.

Mint is another one of those that make me feel nauseous, yet, for many, it’s a brilliant digestive aid.

*Nat, I hope your sense of smell returns. Thank you for sharing the fragrances you remember and can smell now.

*……Ahem! Southpaw, would you like me to hand you a towel? LOL!

My apologies for not replying to you all personally, I’m about to head out the door to Henley-on-Thames for the weekend.

Can I ask you, all? What is the ONE fragrance you would take with you to a dessert Island?

Mine is Jasmine......(and Manuka if I could sneak it in - for it's medicinal properties of course, lol!) Manuka is a fragrance I love - it's my childhood memories of playing and falling over, getting grazed and being soothed by it's fragrance and healing my 'war wounds', lol!
