I have been wearing this fragrance continually for the last 32 years and can assure you it has not changed at all. However if you bought a 15 dollar bottle at a drugstore it was obviously expired since the eau de cologne is much more expensive than that whether I purchase it on line or at Macy's.<br /><br />Also Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-26371129170617196222009-04-21T22:43:00.000-04:002009-04-21T22:43:00.000-04:00Hi lady jicky, scentscelf, Tammy & Tania,
You...Hi lady jicky, scentscelf, Tammy & Tania,<br /><br />You are all so cute to debate the difference between jonquils and daffodils! :-) My grandmother was not Southern, she was born and raised in Massachusetts so an old Yankee by Southern terms (!). <br /><br />I do think Elizabeth Arden must have changed the formulation of Bluegrass because it was never so strong and harsh on my grandmother.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-83730344557727066202009-04-20T14:02:00.000-04:002009-04-20T14:02:00.000-04:00I have a feeling Blue Grass has changed.

I think I remember what it used to smell like (my mum wore it occasionally).<br /><br />I've never used a perfume as a room spray, but I've done the other way around. Ormonde Jayne used to make room sprays which smelled pretty good on skin.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033325684252709482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-89691785900276307302009-04-17T22:12:00.000-04:002009-04-17T22:12:00.000-04:00I am in Australia and we have the big daff's that ...I am in Australia and we have the big daff's that are all yellow or combo of yellow and white and then there is the jonquils - they flower first and the flower head is small with a tiny centre cup , with a wonderful scent. Daffodils have no scent. <br />I once bought a bottle of Roma which I used to love but ... either the bottle had "turned" or they had fiddled with the recipe (or it could have lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-35943329902081944522009-04-17T21:23:00.000-04:002009-04-17T21:23:00.000-04:00In the south, we use the word jonquil the way peop...In the south, we use the word jonquil the way people in other places use the word daffodil, if that makes any sense!

I had learned that jonquils were a southern name for daffodils, and that the term had come to refer to daffodils that did well in warmer weather climates. (I have some traditional King Alfred types fading in a vase right now that smelled just lovely...)<br /><br />I'm a fan of the smell, too, Lady Jicky. :)<br /><br ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-18184718050172924892009-04-17T01:24:00.000-04:002009-04-17T01:24:00.000-04:00Many years ago my Mum wore Bluegrass but she does ...Many years ago my Mum wore Bluegrass but she does not now because she says its changed!
