I lost the love of my life around 5 1/2 years ago after 50 years together and still miss her every waking moment . A few nights ago I went up to bed and immediately upon opening the bedroom door I was hit by an overwhelming smell of perfume. It was a familiar smell even though I couldn’t put my finger on where I’d smelt it before. The hairs on my arms literally stood straight up like stair rods and could feel the same on my legs despite not having yet got undressed. I was sure my sweetheart was “around” and I got in bed, lights out and held out my outstretched hand in the hope that Val would come to me, but sadly nothing. Its not the first time that I’ve sensed something but never so intense. Has anyone else had a similar experience

Yes, me and my sister have. Both our parents passed, and we have noticed a scent which is not any of our perfumes, deodorants, candles. We smelt everything in the house and all ruled out.
It’s like the smell of jasmine flowers. We think it’s our Mum!
Also, the scent of coffee at odd times, the exact times my Dad would make himself a coffee (I only drink coffee in the morning, caffeine and all that!) so we think its him too!

Hi George 73
Yes i have when my auntie died I was at home with my husband and I said ro him jeans here he asked me how I knew and I told him I can smell her perfume it was so strong we where just sitting watching the afternoon movie and I told her to come and sit down with us
Then after my husband passed away I got the same thing but at nightime when his favourite programme was on I got his smell he wore loccitane aftershave balm and it smelt so good to actually smell him I told him to come and watch the telly with me and I put my hand out in a hope that he would hold mine like we used to but I got nothing just the smell its very strange but it is also comforting to know that they are still looking out for us but i would love to see him I would not be frightened just so happy
My husband was seceptiable to all of that he even saw my auntie we where in bed at night when it happened I wish I had seen her as I needed closure from her as I was the one that found here dead in her bungalow where she had just moved to so as to be closer to us

I find it really comforting to think there is still some connection between us.

When I met Val in 1970 she used to wear some perfume called Wild Jasmine by Avon….it used to drive me wild….in a good way, loved the smell

Yes, the same thing happens to me!
Quite often the perfume is there when I enter the bedroom. It’s only fleeting though, there one minute gone the next, just as if my wife had walked through the room.
It’s not the same as spraying perfume in the room because that would last much longer.
I think it’s one of the many signs our departed loved ones leave for us. We just have to stay alert for them.

Hello. I don’t think I’d want to see my husband, that would frighten me, I want to believe hes too busy in heaven. But I hope he does hear me when I talk to him. And that he knows I miss him. But I wouldn’t mind dreaming about him. Miss you honey, God bless you

Hi light mary
I understand what you mean and if know we are all different I would not be frightened i would just take it as a great honour that he took time out of his busy life up there and come and see me just to tell me he still loves me and will always be there for me .

Hello, I hope that happens to me I have an appointment tomorrow with GP, just knowing hes with me would put me at ease, I’ve had to do a lot of firsts, without my husband, and I really need his support 
its coming up on 8 weeks since hes passed. Wish me luck
All the best for docs visit, hope all goes well. He’ll be right beside you. There’ll be lots of firsts, which can seem overwhelming at times when everything becomes “your” job, but just take each day as it comes….. if it dont get done today, then tomorrow will do Take care
