I've done the same before! I've also used up sun products as body lotion when it's not been too old but old enough that I wouldn't want to risk the SPF was still as advertised.

The review about the stale wee made me smile, as did the suggestion of using as a loo freshener! Then we get the review with similarities to Chloe Rose.. can they be talking about the same fragrance?
AG I think is just about wearable, but I got the pure from the recent tsv which also has l'eau de wee wee smell. Rather nasty actually, probs like Akimbo's charity shop wee smell & headache inducing. I was expecting fresh laundry & received Rab C Nesbitt/Waynetta Slob laundry fragrance. I'm still cross as it's huge to return. Waiting until end of January.

I have a difficult relationship with fragrance with a very sensitive nose and a propensity to smell-triggered migraines. Mr Akimbo gets exasperated if a spritz perfumes in department stores - by the third one I'll start getting a migraine, but I never learn!
When I worked in a large office I'd despair at the lunch-time re-sprayers of perfume and hairspray in the loos. They'd believe their scent had "worn off" when it was still coming through loud and clear. There's quite a small window before a scent sprayed on oneself appears to disappear because the nose gets used to it - always ask someone else before you respray! There are so many reviews on the interweb complaining that a scent doesn't last - plenty of examples on QVC's site alone for perfumes and candles.
Plug-in air "fresheners" are the work of the devil. While I've been house-hunting this year I've had to cut short a couple of viewings because the "scent" is over-powering!
Less is more Peeps! :sweat:

I'm exactly the same, Kimmy, Those plug in fresheners.......the lily one is evil. I cannot bear Yankee either. All are so synthetic & cannot be good for us or our pets.
I believe that if someone has those plugged in, then they are trying to mask a smell. Nothing smells better than a nice, naturally clean house.
