Remember when the gift sets would have a container of powder? I was just thinking of that the other day.
And you could apply on the powder after your shower. It got all over the place.
I don't see them included anymore...
Since the talc/ovarian cancer connection, powder use is frowned upon. I use Burt's Bees cornstarch and Jean Nate during the summer, but I only powder under my bra band....
My old scents are Jean Nate -- my father always liked me in it, and my other fav was Bonne Bell's Skin Musk. The new Skin is awful in the oil form and the spray cologne form.... but I found an aerosol spray that was PERFECT.
My two new ones are Estee's Sensuous, and Origins Ginger Essence.
But as I age -- I find I'm preferring the lighter body lotion scents -- Philosphy's Amazing Grace and L'Occitane's Almond Milk are wonderful. I might be out of the fragrance biz...
I went to Macy's yesterday and sniffed some older, classic perfumes that I have always liked and noticed that several of them had a roach spray/bug repellent odor.
I had noticed this in some of the newer perfumes at Sephora. However, the older perfumes, especially at reputable department stores, had always been fine. But I sprayed several tester cards, and many of the older perfumes smelled like roach spray/bug repellent. I thought it was just me. So I asked a couple of other people their opinions, and they all agreed that there was a roach spray/bug repellent odor.
Has anyone else noticed that many of the new reformulations are now smelling worse than ever? I mean they're not even remotely similar to the originals.

Are you sure it wasn't the tester cards? Personally, I hate testing scents on pieces of paper.
I don't think it was the tester cards because even sniffing the sprayer on the bottles, there was no pleasant fragrance--just a horrible smell of roach spray/bug repellent.
Anyway, I used several different tester cards because I went to several counters, and many of the perfumes just smelled awful. The perfumes that did smell good also smelled good on the tester cards.
My mother-in-law, obviously not my biggest fan, gave me a huge gift box of Poison. I must have looked less than thrilled; her comment was that since I like a "drug scent" so much- Opium- I would probably like Poison too. With just a little poison in her tone, and I never liked it anyway (her tone and the scent).

Either she thought they were made by the same maker (like a series of scents), or she's a real -itch!!!
I had some Poison when it first hit the market. It didn't take long at all for me to start disliking it. Is it actually still around?

Are you talking about Dior Poison? Yes, it is.
Hypnotic Poison is Ms. BATCAT's preferred Fall/Winter scent, and I really like it.
