For all those who wore Ananya by Body Shop in the 90's

The Primark Clean Cotton reed diffuser smells just like it. My bedroom smells like my teen bedroom circa 1994. It's so evocative and I think I would kill to go back to that era even just for a while

White musk girl here.
Brings back so many memories.
Lovely.

Immigrantsong · 22/07/2020 20:51

Thank you for the tip OP. Loved that fragrance.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 22/07/2020 20:52

Jasmine was my fav, followed by vanilla.

GoshHashana · 22/07/2020 20:57

Ananya! Now there's a blast from the past! I used to douse myself in the stuff. Felt so sophisticated.

OMG I loved the smell of Ananya! Thanks op!

Bagelsandbrie · 22/07/2020 21:06

Oh I used to LOVE that!! Thank you.

Tacobellend · 22/07/2020 21:15

Aww I got that for my 16th birthday from my best friend Smile

H1978 · 22/07/2020 21:16

I had a bottle too although I can’t remember what it smelt like but I know I liked it. Will have to have a sniff next time I’m in primark. 👍🏼

Witchofzog · 22/07/2020 21:20

I loved it. I thought I loved White Musk then I discovered Ananya. I said I would call my dd Ananya too so it's probably fortunate I had ds instead Grin

Anyone who buys the reed diffuser needs to come and feedback. I got the small one for the bargain price of a pound Smile

Never smelt it but I would love a Dewberry replica - it would take me right back 🥰

Elledouble · 22/07/2020 22:02

Dewberry! It smelled like nothing else.

Child’s Farm Sweet Orange kid’s shower gel smells exactly like the Body Shop Tangerine bubble bath that came in the little gift set bottles.

JaneJeffer · 22/07/2020 23:39

If anyone finds anything that smells like Gypsy by Impulse please let me know.

Twothousandzerozero · 23/07/2020 00:13

Oh man. Take me back! What I wouldn’t give for a wee holiday in the 90s right now!

JaneJeffer · 23/07/2020 00:15

Wouldn't that be lovely!

Poppet1974 · 23/07/2020 00:46

Oh love it!!!🥰🥰
Anyone remember ‘Annie’ from the Body Shop?
Wish they would bring back the old scents 🤗🤗

LivinLaVidaLoki · 23/07/2020 06:44

Have to admit I still occasionally wear white musk....

As a joke when dh asked what I wanted for my 40th I said "to feel young again" so he bought me some white musk perfume and body lotion. I love it (disclaimer I did get other gifts too).

Body shop once did a scent called moonflower. I adored it. I moved into a small apartment in Greece at 20 and it smelled musty as hell. I went to body shop and bought some moonflower candles and thats how my room smelled that whole summer. That's where that smell takes me.

I was so disappointed they discontinued it.

vampirethriller · 23/07/2020 07:09

Oceania (maybe spelt wrongly) was my favourite. My grandad used to take me on my birthday in the days when they had the big perfume bottles to put in the unscented things and you could choose which one you wanted.

Georgieporgie29 · 23/07/2020 09:37

Another dewberry fan here

icebearforpresident · 23/07/2020 10:41

What colour was the bottle? There were 2 scents I liked when I was a teenager but I can’t remember what they were! One was purple (was that dewberry?) and the other was pink

MissisBee · 23/07/2020 11:01

Ooh, it was my favourite! Never liked the dewberry, which was more popular amongst my friends.
@icebearforpresident ananya was pink, dewberry purple

Northernsoullover · 23/07/2020 11:04

Chic and Jeunesse by impulse were my favourite smells of my teen years. Dewberry gave me a headache.

Witchofzog · 23/07/2020 11:13

I had forgotten about dewberry. The smells of the 90's! Yes dewberry was purple, Ananya was pink and white musk was obviously white. Shall we all have a holiday to the 90's? Obviously we will be younger for this holiday too. Simpler times!

Another dewberry lover here! They'd make some money if they bought out a couple of these scents again

Sad loser alert... I loved Ananya ( my phone keeps trying to change this to anal 🤣🤣) so much I kept an unopened bottle for years... finally opened it to discover it had gone off, gutted Blush
