Yes it was Aquamanda......iwas just about to post the name when I noticed that Janet had beaten me to it. I like Clinique Aromatics Elixir......I wear it for me, but strangely I can never smell it on me.......I also like Flowers by Kenzo........I like Lagerfeld for women, but never seem to see it unless I go abroad.......and there was a perfume I bought in Spain.....it was called Hash.......I loved that, but haven't seen any for a long time.

I don't know if people in London stink more than they do here, or it might be the fact that you are herded together closer on the tube, but your nasel senses are definitely invaded more by people's bad smells there.

I did try to restart the fashion for nosegays whilst I was there. Those little posies of sweet smelling flowers our ancestors used to hold under their noses to mask the smell of the hoi-poloi's stench.

Valerie Singleton showed how to make one on Blue Peter many years ago. You take an orange and cover it with cloves, then leave it to dry for a month, attach a pretty ribbon and hey presto!

Aqua Manda!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been racking my brains over that for ages! The lemon one was Aqua Citra. I remember that now.

As a teenager I loved Aqua Manda talc and body lotion.

There was also one by Coty called Kiku and someone once bought me a spherical container of the talc with a big fluffy puff inside. I loved it at first but the lotion version of it seemed to go off after a while.

It's funny how we wear a perfume for ourselves and then get so used to the smell that we end up not being able to smell it.

My grandma always used evening in paris, it was in a little blue bottle, if i remember right. You can still buy it, but it is now under another name but can't remember what it is.

I don't like strong smelling perfumes either. You know the sort you can still taste 10 minutes after you leave a person. I know its old fashioned now but I like the smell of old spice on a man.

A couple of years ago we were in Adelaide and we noticed that a lady was following us around. We went into Target and she came up to us and asked what perfume I was wearing......I told her that we were both wearing NIAGARA by Courreges.....it is a man's scent really, but I loved it and we shared at the bottle.....well, bottles because I bought a few.....good job too, I don't think you can buy it now. Anyway we told this lady that if she came to our hotel we would give her the bottle.

No Darling I was kidding. I actually whispered in your ear that you could smell my Charlie.

Neil with chemistry? As in a chemistry set?

Frightening.

I hope you've upped your household insurance.

I wear L'Eau de Issey, its quite light and fresh, I also like Envy by Gucci, I'm not keen on very strong scents Poison, Opium etc, the L' eau d Issey mens eau de toilette is gorgeous.
