Hi Beryl,
So wonderful to hear from you and your past association with Norman Hartnell.
There seems to be such a strong link between that fragrance and Chanel No 5!!
What an occasion for you though………memories of your wedding day!!
Take care and stay in touch.

Hi Anne,
O yes!! Absolutely ……people do make that association between the person and the fragrance!
When my mum passed away, my niece (who I am incredibly close to) bought my perfume because she missed her Nan so much and wanted to be close to me at that time. She only bought it once but said it helped. I was almost in tears when she told me.
Lovely to hear from you.
Stay in touch

Hello Anne, Oh what lovely memories you brought to mind, mentioning Norman Hartnell’s “In Love” perfume in your blog. I worked in a well known high street chemist’s in the 60’s, I don’t know if that’s when it first came out! but that’s when I purchased my very first bottle, me and every other one of my fellow shop assistants, I still remember the shape of the bottle, tall square thin shaped bottle about 3 inches tall. I wish I could still purchase it. My next bottle of perfume strangely enough was a bottle of Chanel no 5 bought by my boyfriend whom I went on to marry,
Best Wishes xx

My late mother wore L’aimant by Coty perfume. The smell always reminds me of her and Chanel No 5 is similar. Wonder if people associate my perfume with me?

Anne I read your blog about your mum with a smile as my favourite perfume was hartnell in love and still use Chanel no. 5. Bought for me this year by my daughter and son as they too remembered my favourite perfume. And like myself I miss my mother every day and she’s not far from my thoughts. Thankfully we have our children to carry on the love to.
Take care
