@DianneN Chamade Extrait was launched in 1968, that was the gift I asked for that Christmas and I still love this perfume.

@LadyDuck I'll look to see if they sell it here. Quite often they don't. If I like it, I will buy it, and then we can be twins in the smell department, too.

I have some Guerlain, but I'm not familiar with that. Is it new?

I tend to use cologne every working day and if we're going out in the evening at weekend. I did know that exposing perfumes and cologne to light can diminish their effectiveness but I've never heard the refrigerator tip. Glad you don't use it when exercising. There's nothing worse than coming up for air in a swimming pool and getting a lung full of perfume from some heavily scented passing swimmer.

@DianneN I have actually seen people applying it in the changing rooms before going into the gym! Takes all sorts I suppose.

Glad to hear you use cologne. You are right about exposing it to light. A big no-no! I gasp for breath at the gym if anyone is wearing any scent. That's when it hurts the most. Ewwww!

@DianneN I have no reason not to use talcum powder. I have been doing that for years. My soap is also Yardley Lavender.

@DianneN A friend from church got me some great hand soap scents from Bath and Body Works - Frosted Coconut Snowball. Love the scent on my hands. Limoncello, can't wait to try that one and Winter Candy Apple. Sounds delicious. I can't tell you the fragrances I have for perfume.

No. Men usually wear cologne or after shave. A woman can wear perfume, cologne, or eau de toilette. Actually, some are interchangeable in that one scent can be used by men or women. Remember Canoe and Ambush back in the day?

@Aquitaine24 I have so many perfumes. Many I bought years ago at the Dollar store. Many others I was given as a gift. I just don't think they are anything worth worrying about making last anymore. If I had some really nice kinds like Diane wears then I would be using this advice for sure.

I have 2 bottles sitting on my dresser... haven't touches them in years! One is a warm spicy scent which I should get out seeing that today is nasty... the other is a more flowery scent. I will think of the name in a minute but I'm drawing a blank right now!! Same company but can't think of the name!

I love wearing perfume. I have to say I don't have a trick to make it last longer like you Dianne, however I just put perfume directly on my skin before getting dressed, that's basically how it lasts longer for me. I am currently wearing Black XS by Pacco Rabanne. It is my favorite perfume brand!
