Any of you guys ever get tired of even bothering to put on a fragrance? I've only had one fragrance in my entire life that lasted past walking out the door. The original Pierre Cardin from the 70's and 80's. Which is really dated now. I've tried mixing it with petroleum jelly and rubbing it on, Ive tried putting it on as soon as I dry off out of the shower, I've tried waiting till after I've shaved and gotten dressed. Spraying on pulse points, spraying on more, spraying on less....nothing seems to matter. What's the secret to it lasting more than a few minutes? I've tried cheap fragrance, high end fragrance, dupes.....you name it. None of them last. Is there a type of chemical in the fragrance that affects this?

Today is usually the day I spend in the office, however with my wife out of town with work and my eldest having a Pupil Free day at school, it means I am WFH. As with the other day when my youngest shoes my outfit, today’s outfit is chosen by my eldest. She chose everything down to the watch, I again selected the Cap and Overcoat. You can see a little difference in thier styles, Poppy (12) has a more restrained style compared to Jade (almost 9). Both do have a good grasp on colour complimenting and coordination. A good thing about letting them chose and build an outfit, besides learning about colour, is that I get to wear peices I dont usually choose, the Pocket Sqaure in this outfit is one I like but I keep deferring back to the woolen squares I have. With Jade it was the Yiume shirt as a piece of business wear.
