What perfume instantly takes you to a memory (good or bad)?

[Therealfatshady]

Mine is Hugo Boss. Ex boyfriend wore it. Tried to break up with him before we both went to uni, but he begged and cried so I agreed to give a LDR a go. 3 weeks later he slept with a girl in the flat above in halls. The scent still makes me angry!!

Ralph Lauren - Ralph or DKNY( the Apple one) takes me back to my teens

Anais Anais - reminds me of getting into nightclubs under age!

Also Laura Mercier Tarte au Citroen

Ah yes, I’m getting a head note of pastry, a heart note of meringue and a base note of engine oil

Kourous equals sex in the eighties....

Tommy girl. Ahhh to be young and in sixth form again! And Issy miyake. Every boy wore it and it makes me heave if I smell it now!

Tweed , my mum wore it
She also had a big bottle of Je Reviens ( which I think my sister still has on her dressing table , mum died in 2001 )
White musk from Body Shop and Dewberry , though I can hardly bare to go into Body Shop now , it’s all too heavily scented
Polo , a lot of happy memories ❤️

Paco Rabanne La Nuit. Reminds me of when I met my first boyfriend. It was way too sophisticated for a 16 year old!

The Body Shop Rose Musk. The smell of my goth years.

A*Men. DH wore it when we met and I loved it so much I stole it.

Anais Anais reminds me of my mum
Coco by Chanel reminds me of the first time I went to the US in 1989.

Poison by Dior takes me straight back to the mid eighties, when I used to totter out on the town wearing heels, black scuba dress, stockings, heavy pearl & gold costume jewellery and half a can of hairspray. Really over the top glamour.

Opium - 80s nightclubs.
