Totally agree about Twilight Woods, but did you smell the candle? The candle was much more woodsy, I really liked it.

I’m 43 and over the past couple of years I’ve experienced some radical changes in my sense of smell. Last year I went through a period of about 9 months where I could not wear any of my heavy oriental fragrances, all I could wear were light florals and aquatics. Some days I pick up a fragrance and it smells horrible, a week later it smells great to me. I notice that although I have very dry skin, fragrance disappears on me in the heat and humidity of a Montreal summer, and stays better in the winter. Go figure!

M, I think BBW was at least hoping to piggyback off the Twilight mania, although there’s no official tie-in. (And how do I know this??? I have a teenage daughter, of course.)

“Serge is in a corner somewhere sobbing.” That had me ROTFL.
I think the nose, longevity and preference issues are age related. I was shocked when I first discovered that some of my old faves just didn’t really work anymore. So, I discovered new scents and eventually went back to some of my old ones. Try to give it a positive spin; it all works out in the end.
Nava, do you have a humidifier? It helps so much. One’s nose and skin are happier and all of those negative ions also affect our emotional wellbeing, especially in the gloom of a TO winter.
