I honestly think that my mother could be losing her sense of smell. At 64 years old and diabetic, maybe this is what happening. I have tried to tell her politely that you can smell her rooms away, and that her scent lingers after she is gone.

I recently explained how to layer your fragrance to her. If you don’t know how, you can layer your fragrance by simply using a fragrant body wash and lotion of the same/or similar scents. Then perfume can be used as a refresher, later on in the day. I think that my mother took this wrong. I noticed she has a few new products from Bath and Body Works – all in the same scent. And I think she is layering them all on, and then spritzing herself with the perfume spray to match. Sigh.

How do I tell her politely that she is either doing it wrong or that the scent is not for her. It is obvious that she took (or tried to) my advice. Now, I hate to tell her how “bad” it really smells! To make matters worse, my father even asked me what I gave her. He said he needs to air out the house when she leaves for work!

Oh, Mom!!!

“The band inked a licensing deal with Gemini Cosmetics Thursday for both beauty and fragrances. The first products will be out in September: men’s and women’s scents.

“We thought about doing makeup,” band co-founder Paul Stanley, the group’s guitarist, joked in an interview. “But we weren’t sure how many women would want to walk around with white-painted faces.”

The deal, brokered by the band’s management, Doc Mc Ghee Management, and its merchandise and licensing representative, Signatures Network, includes both fragrance and beauty products, with men’s and women’s scents launching first. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.”

Will you be putting this Kiss fragrance on your Christmas list this year?
