I do think that one's sense of smell changes though - years ago when philosophy first came to UK and we still had a Sephora chain (sigh) I went in and tried all the graces and they smelt of not only cat wee but human wee, I couldn't rush to the loos quick enough (to wash the smell off obviously!). And now some 8 years later I love them.......I think I'm coming up to the change and they say that your skin can change and consequently fragrances can change on you.
