I know that this kind of nostalgia is just that: a sort of reverie for times when women had fewer options, because we belong to a generation that profited out of women's struggles. I wouldn't want to go back either, but it's fun contemplating the outer attributes, because they were so very stylised. Almost psychoanalytical symbols standing for ritualised mating. ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-43063454202314689222012-01-14T16:34:20.795+00:002012-01-14T16:34:20.795+00:00Donna,

I like animalic, but Joy for some reasons reads as a bit dated on me.

I am embarassed to ask about it, because when I stopped to help someone by giving her some jumper cables, she saw a spray can of Joy and told me she was shocked. I told her it was for emergencies, and that I thought it would be safe, because I never had cologne that wasn't in a bottle before.
