Inspired by the other perfume thread, it got me thinking about what I used to wear as a teenager. I will forever miss Tramp, Moon Drops and anything by Yardley!

What are your favourite scents from years gone by?

I loved 80s perfumes. It seemed like the aim for all of them was that they could still be smelled two days after you'd left the area.

Givenchy - Fluer de Interdit was the perfume of my teenage years. Sadly discontinued. I have a vintage bottle but it's sadly turned slightly and doesn't smell as good.

I had a bottle of Vivienne Westwood Libertine for my 21st. By the time I'd finished it, it had been discontinued. I've never found anything like it.

I loved Charlie Red in my teens. I saw a huge bottle in TJ Hughes a few years back which I bought out of nostalgia but it's still sat there, full, as it just didn't do it for me any more.

Which was the one that Dr Quinn Medicine Woman used to advertise? I remember my mum buying it and me always nicking it. It might have been made by Max Factor. I was only about 10 at the time!

In the 80's Anais Anais and I thought it was ultra chic and very sophisticated

I remember giving my first boyfriend migraines when I wore Charlie Red! It was only when I started going out with DP a few years later and he got them too that I realised what the common factor was! Still wore it for years though.
