My mother wore Jovan Musk pretty often when I was a kid. I still like the way it smells.

I wear a spritz of Arden's Blue Grass now. I bought it on Overstock.com when I hadn't seen it anywhere in quite some time. It has come down in price.

When I was much, much younger I liked White Shoulders, Jolie Madame, Fleurs de Rocaille (I'd really like to get that scent again), Fame.

My mom liked Bellodgia, which I'd love to smell again, but I don't think I'd ever wear it.

There are some older scents on Overstock.com. I've also seen quite a few at Vermont Country Store.

Alas, Fame appears to be gone forever. (Fame by Parfums Corday.)

Sweet Honesty by Avon!

One that is apparently no longer produced and that I miss terribly is Princess Marcella de Borghese. I can't find it anywhere. It wasn't a drug store perfume but wow, it was fabulous.

Larry I know just what you mean. People don't realize that you get used to it so you cant smell it. Other people can though. Some people wear so much it takes your breath away. When I worked there were dueling perfume ladies. One used Opium. If she couldn't smell it she sprayed.
ESTEE since the 70s, too. Used to switch back then from Youth Dew to Estee, but I always got more comments from the guys when t I wore Estee. Still do and it still smells the same on me. My husband bought me Youth Dew one year remembering I used to use the one in the Blue bottle sometimes when we started dating , but I ended up bringing it back because it now smelled like straight rubbing alcohol on me.
Retired now, but people are still always asking what I wear because it smells so good.
I am not a fan of the newer Este Lauder fragrances.

Unfortunately, the proper use of scent is almost a lost art. Far too many people think that if a little is good, a lot is better. Women are not the only offenders. Some young guys use enough body spray to kill flies at 10'.

^^^I am a middle aged man and still remember the fragrances many of my GFs wore years ago. It shouldn't be as strong as OFF! though lots of women and men do so. Gag me. You should be able to smell it if your nose is in her hair. I later learned to prefer the smell of bare skin.

Those scents are very different from one another. However, I'm glad she switched, even though I don't know her, since White Linen is one of my most despised scents and I wish they would stop making it!

Yes, they do. You might have to order it online, though.
