I wear many many fragrances! Angel is my favorite! Oldies incluse Elizabeth Ardens Fifth Avenue,Emeraude,and Tressor! LOVE perfumes!! Member of Fragrantica.com
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.
Blue Grass (Eliz Arden) doesn't smell the same, but it doesn't smell like bug spray! I think you must have a different sniffer than I do.
What I have gathered from these posts is that it might be better to seek out a newer fragrance that I like, rather than to try to find one of the older ones that has likely been changed. I might not have chosen that fragrance back in 1972 if it had smelled like it does now.
Honestly though, I often just buy something at T.J. Maxx that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
