@Pipette: When I went to visit this past week, I wore "Halston". My daughter originally told me before his birth she didn't want me to wear any perfumes around him. But, she knows that is so very difficult for me. By the time I did get there, I had already stopped at two stores on the way and managed to pick up two perfumes. I couldn't resist spraying a bit of "Hanae Mori" on to test it. By the time I reached my daughter's she mentioned she could smell my perfume, but didn't complain. So, yes, I'm not wearing my heavy-duty ones, but I am wearing perfume.
My thought is, my grandson will grow up knowing his Gramma wears perfume, and different ones, beautiful ones. That's her passion. Maybe I'll be the one to teach him about the beauty of scent.
But I don't have to wear anything loud to do it, like "Angel", or "Hypnotic Poison" or "Dior Addict", or even "Coco", which are rather strong for a baby. I adore those scents. But not around my grandson. I'll wear milder scents right now. And wear them lightly. Benzoin is another that's out, too. But I'll put perfume on the back of my neck and and swish it through my hair.
I've also tested "Bon Genre" to see how that runs, and altho seemingly light, changes its course over many hours, so it's a nice perfume to wear, similar in concept to "Hanae Mori". A skin scent that changes over many hours and lingers. That works for me. It satisfies my needs and the needs of not overwhelming the baby, too. We're all happy, then...
