Smell
7 Answers
why would an expensive perfume that has been my favourite for years suddenly start smelling odd to me when I wear it - almost 'chemically' - I've noticed that a couple of things that I've always like the smell off suddenly have started to smell nasty. Does an altered sense of smell indicate anything? PS I'm female and 60 years old.

Since my mid thirties I can only wear gold and silver if I don't drink red wine.
Any idea how long it took me to twig why a night out ended with me covered in dirty black streaks anywhere jewellery had touched?...:-(

Some perfume ingredients have had to be changed. Either they came from endangered species, or they have become exorbitantly expensive. Some chemical ingredients may have replaced some natural ones. It may be that you are particularly sensitive to the changed ingredient/s. Most "noses" - the people who specialise in perfumes in perfume houses, are male, but it is well known that women and men sometimes get different sensations from the same ingredient. ( Such as cedarwood.) You may have picked up a difference which the "noses" have not realised would be noticeable.
