I did want to remember my mother and her essence. I find it hard to pass along a fragrance now, because I often don't like as well what I might trade it for -- and I wish for mine back. OTOH, sometimes a small decant from my bottle is all I need. Yes, love and let go is part of life...and I find my tastes have changed in perfumes somewhat. I still love, but rarely wear, the vintage fragrances I used to wear. The new tweaking just isn't the same. One thing I do try to be careful with is what I wear if what I'm doing is not something that will have good memories. I either overlay it with a fragrance I like to make the event more palatable or I do not wear something that I would not like to associate with that event. I've been known to go scentless, or as scentless as is possible for me, just because of that. No, it’s not pitiable, it’s quite normal.

I'm a scentimental fool, in every possible sense. It's really quite pitiable. And I always need to possess fragrances that remind me of times, or people I've dearly loved, who are no longer with me. One of my greatest failings, is that I have difficulty with the realisation that you love and let go, love and let go...
