Something You Wore by olivetreeann

Something You Wore

I used to love wearing perfume. Now it makes me sneeze! However the bottles still decorate my dresser making these lovely fragrances something I definitely wore, yet no longer wear.
Great composition

Beautiful bottles. you know it's the same here..I'm very sensitive to fragrances..when I was in my early twenties and thirties I wore perfum all the time..

That's a shame, but sometimes our body's systems change.

Such pretty bottles! Nice composition!

@bruni Thanks Bruni- yes, me too. In my mid-30's I ended up switching over to after bath splash. It was lighter and I don't sneeze when I put it on.
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- yes they do, don't they?
@twinsplusone Thank you Sharon!

Ann, so odd you said that , each year I get more and more sensitive to strong perfumes.
March 8th, 2012  
ann this is so beautiful!!!!!
March 8th, 2012  
Gorgeous composition . . I agree the bottles are beautiful. Very soft colors and lighting. I can't wear perfume anymore either.

Nice shot. It is interesting how our bodies change to things like this over time

Nice display... good job!

Nice shot

@summerfield Thanks Vikki- the floral bottle is an old perfume bottle my grandmother gave me when I was a young girl. It has a glass stopper which I did not include in the shot.
@sarasdadandmom I wish I hadn't grown out of them, but I just did for some reason.
@adobewaters Thanks Adobe!
@karenann Thanks Karenann. It seems it goes one way or another for us ladies: we either can't wear it at all, or we gob way to much on and make other people suffer!
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@prttblues Thanks Bev!
@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!

Love the picture but like you I can't do perfume anymore. It does not bother me but my husband gets nasty headaches from almost all of them
March 8th, 2012  
This is really pretty and processed so well. Love the DOF. Perfume at times gives me a headache, but not lately, so I have worn some and it cheers me up and makes me feel good. Sorry you are not able to wear any...maybe the sneezing will go away.

Nice composition Ann - I love wearing my perfume
March 8th, 2012  
Pretty little bottles! I'm not really a perfume person either, though I have a couple of pretty bottles too.
March 8th, 2012  
Very beautiful shot. Love how you composed this pic.
March 8th, 2012  
Nice things. Perfume gives me hay fever too
March 8th, 2012

@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie!
@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth! I wear after bath splash instead. It's lighter and doesn't seem to bother me. Jean Nate is my favorite!
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!
@alia_801 Thanks Alia!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@peterdegraaff Thanks Peter!
@inertie Thanks Inertia!

Thank you all for the comments- glad to see some of you can enjoy a lovely perfume and not surprised to see so many who can't. When I could wear it, I did have expensive taste- Chanel No. 5 was my favorite! I think that is what is in the little bottle.

Lovely shot my wife collects perfume bottles
March 8th, 2012  
@steeler Thank you Howard- they are fun little trinkets.
March 8th, 2012  
those bottles are really elegant and beautiful! Love how vintage they look!
March 8th, 2012  
and lovely they look too....
March 8th, 2012  
I love vintage perfume bottles. Beautiful display.
March 8th, 2012  
Lovely composition!
March 8th, 2012  
@geertje Thank you Geertje- the one really is vintage- my grandmother gave it to me when I was a young girl- I think she knew I loved "old things". It had perfume in it for many years, but it has since evaporated. I got the other bottle some time in the 1980's, so it's old but not an antique as the other one is.
@paulineb Thank you Pauline!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole!
@paulavdmerwe Thank you Paula!
Thank you one and all for your nice comments! This was one of those shots that just fell into place without much fuss.
March 8th, 2012  
What a beautiful gentle shot, they are lovely and it is great that they still give you such pleasure even though you cannot wear them
March 8th, 2012  
@melorac Thanks Carole. They add a nice touch to the top of my dresser.
March 8th, 2012  
Love the contrast in style between the two bottles
March 10th, 2012  
@dmariewms Thanks Marie! They are a nice touch to the dresser top, even if I don't wear the perfume anymore.
March 10th, 2012  
Ann this is a gorgeous shot - love the comp and softness - just beautiful and a Fav!
March 10th, 2012  
@michaelelliott Thank you Michael!! It was mid-afternoon sun- comes in thorugh the windows very nicely at that time of day and gave just the right glow to the glass bottles. Thank you so much for the fav!!
March 10th, 2012  
Beautiful composition and lighting! I no longer wear perfume either, but I am in love with all the wonderful bottles it comes in!
March 11th, 2012  
@deniseinindy Thanks Denise- they make lovely decorations even if you can't wear the perfume!
March 11th, 2012
