Maybe you could also buy a new perfume that doesn't remind you of the past? That way you have a choice about whether you look forward to the future or back to the past for your frame of reference on any given day. Personally, I have about 8 different perfumes. I choose my scent based on the season (heavy scents don't work so well in the summer heat and humidity) and my mood. Or I can choose a scent to change my mood.
