It was when I read the discussion about the perfume wardrobe the other day that I remembered this stupid thing that I keep doing. I can't count how many times I've been complimented on a perfume that I haven't particularly liked - and because of that I've kept on wearing it. Crazy isn't it? You should wear perfume for yourself right?
Well years ago I was given a bottle of Lancome Miracle, thought it was ok and wore it a few times. And even though I could smell it all day (the sure sign that a smell is irritating your nose) I got loads of compliments. So I kept wearing it.
The boyfriend at the time liked it so much he got me a bottle of Miracle So Magic. Same thing happened. I kept on wearing it even though I found it overpowering.

I was on my third bottle (this time Miracle Forever, another present) by the time I finally gave up on the whole thing. There was no end in sight to the Miracle franchise and I knew people would keep buying it for me as long as I kept wearing it.
Have you done this? Kept wearing a perfume because other people think it's nice?
