lol! Really? I know it smells different on people, but I thought it always smelled nice. Maybe it smells like a cow pat on me, like Ron suggests!

It is funny, the first time I bought it was the day after I passed my driving test, when I was 17. It cost exactly the same as a driving lesson, £3.
When my husband died I thought I had better have a couple of refresher driving lessons. They cost exactly the same as a bottle of Youth Dew now, £35!
How funny.

Floribunda just means ‘many-flowered’ Ron, you will get a few buds on each stem. As opposed to a hybrid tea rose which has one bloom per stem. It isn’t a rose name.
Go and have another look. There should be a name as well.

Goodness, I remember Aqua Manda! It smelled like a Terry’s chocolate orange! My sister loved it. My other sister used to wear one called Manhattan. My mum always wore Tweed.
How old we must be!

Yes Ron. Whilst it sounds as if you have been drinking the swamp water. Poulshrimp is also known as “Birthday Wishes”. A deep pink rose.
And very nice it is, too.

It is strange how scents are so evocative. I walk past someone wearing a fragrance I know, or even the smell of some foods and it takes me right back in time.
When Jeremy was in a coma I used to spray his pillow with my perfume in the hope he could smell it and know that I was close.
Oh, bugger. I have made my eyes leak now!

I don’t wear any perfume now; got a good friend with asthma, and it can set her off, so I just stopped wearing it.

I think it’s nice not knowing, Don’t want my illusions of Ron sitting on a toadstool in his sparkly budgie smudgers to be shattered!

My wife, (girlfriend as then) stopped wearing perfume after she was pregnant with our eldest, became very sensitive smell wise, previously liked Poison, saved me a fortune over the years…

Later developed an allergy to garlic and would feel sick and bloated going past a strong smelling Italian restaurant…
