my mom must have close to 60 perfumes.....she uses them and decorates with them.

i dont think she has one "scent" to connect her to.....

Elri, what a beautiful memory of Mom bending over and making you smell pretty too!

My Mom use to wear Evyan's Most Precious.  When clearing out my mother's home when she went into nursing care, I came across an old little bottle of Most Precious and one whiff brought back memories of being a young child with my mom. Perhaps that's why when I was starting my first professional job, I was gifted with Evyan's White Shoulders and just fell head over heals with the scent.  Best part was guys I dated always complimented me on the scent!!  hahaha   Married the best guy I ever dated and his nose is strictly for show....can't smell a thing so doesn't matter if I wear a scent or not!!

Chanel #5. I think it smelled better on her than it does on me.

Loving all the history of the perfumes themselves along with memories of Mom.

My Mom wears perfume only occasionally but when she does, it's usually Clinique Aromatics Elixir.  This is not my favorite scent but she loves it and I love her!

Coty's Emeraude
Chanel No. 5
Estee Lauder White Linen
Estee Lauder Beautiful

She'd sometimes bring cologne home from certain vacations.  Two I remember were White Witch from Jamaica and Wicked Wahine from Hawaii.  LOL

Chanel No. 5 is one of my favorites.

My Mom's favorite perfume was white diamonds, by Elizabeth Taylor.

When I was really young I remember her wearing Chanel No 5, and l’air du temps (which she still wears at 85!). I broke a bottle of her l’air du temps, I was playing with the birds on the stopper. We were at Ulta recently and she really liked la vie est belle, I will get some for her for mother’s Day.

@JeanLouiseFinch - I wonder what “wicked wahine” smelled like! Great name!
