How flipping dare you to think we all yearn after our youth. I'm coping very well thanks, with Stella for the winter, rose and black pepper. I would never disclose my hot weather perfume though. It cannot be bought here, and is unique.0

Find this post confusing! Are you joking or offended? Not sure what you mean?0 -
To all who posted suggestions, many thanks - in fact I did end up buying Zara Femme (both for my aunt and for my 18-year-old daughter's Christmas present!). I was tempted by the nostalgia factor too but was afraid she might have an aversion to one of the perfumes she remembered from long ago, whereas this one would be new to her and is subtle and refreshing. I haven't sent it yet (birthday is later in the month) but thought it was lovely, just the ticket.
Oddly enough, I myself love lavender and plain eau-de-cologne as sold by Boots or 4711, though I'm only 50 now and have liked them both since my teens/twenties!Life is mainly froth and bubble
