'It's frivolous and breeds entitlement' Mandy Dineley, 60, is a wedding writer who lives in Hampshire.
I love perfume and feel flattered when people ask me what I'm wearing - usually Frédéric Malle's Portrait of a Lady or anything by Tom Ford. But I always spritz sparingly, and running out of perfume wouldn't ever stop me from leaving the house for Christmas drinks.
