WHY CAN’T I SMELL MY PERFUME ANYMORE?

This article explains that there may be two main reasons why a perfectly healthy person (thus excluding anosmia and various clinical pathologies associated with loss of smell) is no longer able to perceive his scent. The first of these can be due to addiction. Our sense of smell is alert to identify danger signs or smells related to food, so our perfume, recognized and classified as a familiar smell that does not fall into the two categories just mentioned, is overshadowed. The other reason may simply be due to the excessive evaporation of the perfume itself. Read the article to find out how to be able to perceive your perfume or make it last longer.

Ormonde Jayne, a girl happy dream with British elegance in mind. How do you do

Behind the brand, there is Linda. She is a sharp entrepreneur who created a luxury perfume brand out of her own hands. She travelled the high seas, at times not still, in mandarin orange. Her brand is celebrating 20 years and is alive and kicking with new ideas, fresh energy, and dashing enthusiasm. British etiquettes being mastered to perfection, I am afraid she does not need to apologize for it. Her story is delightfully entertaining. And it is not over!
