It's not like I need to spend more on perfume, after all! (Though I too am jonesing for Chamade all of a sudden - no idea why...) <br />Anyway, there are still a lot of existing scents for me to discover.

I apply lightly around her and she is willing to sneeze a couple of times to be in my happy company. I'm sorry you had to go a week without perfume!

Actually, another (blasted!) friend in perfume found it for me, and taunted, erm, enticed me with it. I can't afford it.

Thanks.<br /><br />I felt this too, and was thinking the other day about the snobism that at times I found regarding what matters to me these days, perfume. As in everything there will always be such kind of elistist, snob and maybe also unsatisfied people just as it happens with wine, and so many other aspects in life.

But I know what you mean, I keep my perfume hobby from my family for the same reasons, sad, but less misunderstandings that way.<br />I love Goutal too, almost everything I tried from the line was special in some way.

I too think it's because they don't know the perfumes we love, they are thinking of the onslaught of the hard sell of mixed fragrances while trying to get thru a retail experience at a big store. It's frightened a lot of people.

Quality scents, worn properly, are not going to impinge on the space of someone you don't know unless they are way too close. I think it's all been brought on by an overabundance of cheap, nasty scents that some women wear by the bucketful. My SiL wears one that shall remain nameless, and she's big on hugging.
