Since my makeup area is in my dressing closet, it was a good thing that I only used one perfume !
Unfortunately, I am afraid that a number of European perfumes will ultimately change as ingredients get exorbitant in price.
Strange, but there are some days I don’t even wear perfume. I basically wear it for myself and enjoy the feeling...another level of “ dressing “.
@jlkz ~ Yes, pure ingredients are very expensive, and unfortunately many companies are taking the cheap route, but still gouging their customers with high prices for an inferior product.
I wear perfume daily...just enjoy smelling my favorite scents. Each time I catch a whiff, it's like having a Calgon moment😌

My friend, a long time devotee of Shalimar recently complained that it no longer smelled like the Shakimar she knew....she found a hidden bottle that was old and did a sniff comparison. It definitely had changed !

@jlkz, @Oznell ~ It seems like they all have. If you're lucky enough to have an old favorite in your stash, (I'm so envious), enjoy the "real" thing.

@Oznell ~ Sorry to hear that about a classic such as Shalimar. Gosh, I remember wearing it sparingly, (highschool), not because it was pricey but because it was so potent. I could smell it on me the next morning!
