My Dad wore Aquavela.... (probably spelled wrong) or something by Gilette, forget the name.

Mom mostly wore Lily-of-the-Valley, I think from Avon. But she wore other things too, I can picture the bottles on her dresser but not what brands they were. Pretty bottles, all different shapes. Do ya think she bought 'em for the bottles look or the scent?? Mom also had an old fashioned atomizer, I think thats what it was called. She bought it in an antique store. It had a rubber bulb attached to a bottle that you squeezed to spritz the perfume on.

One gram never wore any scents, lotions, make up, etc... very allergic.

The other gram wore Jean Nate once in awhile but mostly some rose stuff. And she wore lots of it!! We'd go shopping in the '5 n dime' store and I swear you could smell roses 3 aisles over.

Scent can trigger some powerful memories. Grams been gone for a long time but I smelled her roses in the grocery store a few weeks ago. The little white haired lady in front of me had it on and probably just as much of it!! I stood there remembering. It was nice. I told the lady I liked her perfume, that it reminded me of my gram and she patted my arm and said 'thank you dear'. Just what gram woulda done..... made me teary eyed. Damn rose perfume!! If you've ever smelled it, it's really very strong and overpowering, really kinda yucky. I love it on little old ladies. But you'll never catch the stuff on me!!
