But I remember my grandmother used Skin so soft from avon just about every day, When she died my mother put a cotton ball with that on it tucked into her coffin at the wake. Every one thought her spirit was hanging around because it smelled like her.

Sticking to one 'signature' scent your whole life would be a mistake for a few reasons. One. your tastes change over time, as do your surrounding situations. Two, you would deny yourself a lot of varied pleasure and discovery.

My mother has always told me that it is very important for people to always stick to one perfume, for their whole lives, for this reason. She thinks that everyone should have a signature scent so that the smell is associated to that person. What do you guys think?
