Gee, I thought I was losing my sense of smell! None of my favorite fragrances are the same anymore.

What will these environazis think of next?

I noticed an immediate drop in the staying power of Yves Rocher when they went to all-natural ingredients , citing the environment, back in 1999/2000. Then I noticed that other fragrance lines seemed way weaker, when I tried new products introduced in the latter part of the last decade. The two newest Avon/MARK fragrances are completely vanished in less than one minute-they are weaker than any "body spray" I've ever encountered. And other MARK products were of almost 1980s strength (a not unmixed blessing! :-D)

I am just speculating that an attempt to please moslem customers/be completely lazy is what's really behind it, though . I noticed that a non alcohol version of a Jovan fragrance with which I was quite familiar smelled different, ie worse, and was way weaker than the standard edition. This makes me wonder if maybe other companies are removing the alcohol from fragrances , and pretending it's an environmental decision when it's really to make it easier for them, by creating all fragrances to accord with moslem halal standards, rather than making separate bottles for different world regions. It wouldn't surprise me if that's the case, as some restaurants (UK and USA) have been quietly switching to halal meats everywhere, instead of just in locations in mostly moslem neighborhoods. Easier and cheaper for them.
