I am now a perfume junkie, too. Have become one in less than a year (my ex husband could tolerate perfume, and I got so used to not wearing any with him around that it took me several years of separation to finally return to my love of scents).

I recommend cheap stores, such as Target, Marshalls, etc. For me they work because I would not wear, as Sophiesmom put it, pop star perfumes anyway, and older perfumes are way cheaper. I do not know if that would go with your age - I am older, wear feminine clothing, and am a little retro, if you know what I mean - but I absolutely love "White Diamonds" by the late Elizabeth Taylor. I also like a completely different scent - "Sunflowers" by Elizabeth Arden. Since these are not trendy, they are not expensive. My only expensive perfume is "Opium" by Yves Saint-Laurent - tried it at a duty free shop on my most recent trip abroad and could not resist. It was the scent of some of the days of my youth and, to me, the most intoxicating scent of all... beats Chanel number 5 (which I do not own but did test).

Tametc, thanks for the trick. I have a question - since I only drink instant, can I sniff instant and not true ground coffee?
