They must be a walking cloud of sillage if that much has gotten into the silk! Pity the poor bystanders.
I'm a bit of a perfume nut, so I've always wondered-- does evidence of perfume use invariably come along with nacre damage? It's always listed as one of the dangers to pearl longevity. I took to wearing perfume in my hair when wearing pearls, even though scalp oils are notorious for messing about with the scent.
I should probably have mentioned that I'm more intensive about washing because I can de-plate a pendant or chain in hours. My skin is *that* acidic.
