I had two safely stored bottles commit top note suicide on me recently and I'm just a little bit excited about the fact I can put them out on display now. Is that wrong? I am a little gutted that one of them was Dior's Escale Aux Marquises as it was a favourite summer time whiff for me.

I am afraid I can't comment on whether bath oil is more robust in terms of its resistance to the hostile atmosphere of a bathroom, but maybe suspension in the medium of oil gives it some kind of protection.

My shabby old place does actually have a lovely bath, and ample ledge space for glasses of wine, cups of tea etc. But here's a question - I have just re-located my Youth Dew bath oil from bathroom to bedroom.
