So this is a bit weird (I think, maybe people will disagree). Ive taken to wearing perfume after getting a really nice bottle as a 40th birthday present last year. I didnt really wear it before.
My sister always wore perfume and it was a really comforting scent. She had a small number she alternated between but they all had similar undertones etc.
I feel like im forgetting things i dont want to forget about her. Its been just over a year since she died and i feel like im forgetting that comforting smell. My sister and i were so close, she was 9 years older than me, lived an hour from me and was my home. My safety and security. Feeling like ive forgotten that scent has really upset me.
So i bought a bottle of one of the perfumes she wore. While there was a part of me that figured that, since we were so similar in every other way, perfume may not be that different and it might suit me. But a bigger part wanted to be reminded of that comforting scent.
I was ok with this, even the cry i had when i smelt it again for the first time, until one of my friends said she thought it was odd i was trying to hold on to her scent like that. That it was unhealthy and stopping me dealing with it.
I normally totally trust this friend but its given me a bit of a wobble.
What are peoples thoughts on this? Is it weird?
