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!!

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 Wink

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.
