I love to get perfume compliments but they are rare. For the most part, I wear perfume to please myself.
I am very careful in large groups or going to dinner or around people who can’t handle some fragrances. My husband can’t smell many perfumes so unless I put my arm under his nose directly, he usually is unaware. Another family member is quite sensitive, so it is rare that I wear any perfume around him. And a friend can’t handle any scents. She has to be extremely careful with shampoos or body soaps. For the most part she doesn’t even know I wear fragrance because by the time I’m around her, it’s been a while since I spritzed.
My younger children always say I smell good. But I’m talking about a genuine, grown up compliment. Those are worth waiting for.
Yesterday I stopped in at place of business, then went back later for a second visit. The woman helping me asked me what I was wearing earlier as everyone loved it and wanted to know what it was.
Interestingly enough the last time I wore this fragrance, it bothered me, though I loved it when I first bought it. So, I’ve not chosen to wear it for a while. That day, some note in it got stronger, instead of blending, and as I like to layer up, I got tired of it during the day, it never softened.
But yesterday it was so soft I couldn’t smell it without effort, so it surprised me that others could. After the second visit, I respritzed just because. That’s when my daughter wanted some.
I was wearing Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue 
Year Introduced: 2001
Scent Type: Floral - Fruitytop: Sicilian citron, bluebell, and granny smith
heart: jasmine sambac, bamboo, white rose
bottom: cedar wood, musk, amber
It really is a lovely fragrance. My 9 year old wanted some for herself, and then asked for it again after her shower. I think I might make her up a small spray of her own. I don’t know what was going on with it (or me) the day I didn’t like the way it wore me.
Maybe it needs to be summer and hot, hot, hot for it to wear well. Do you wear it? Do you get compliments? I think I will wear it again today. I like the way the apple stays true in it, unlike another apple scent(s) that goes sharp. It is bright and happy, yet not artificial. It has enough other notes in it that keep it from being too sweetish. And it held my interest all day yesterday, which is saying a lot.
