Do YOU remember this perfume (ca. 2005)?!

Something about not being able to travel much over the past couple of years has made me seek escapism through... perfume! I've gone mad for it. I've got together quite a little collection now and am missing one I used to have, but I can't remember the name of it.

The facts:
I bought it in about 2004/5.
It wasn't expensive, just an impulse buy somewhere like Superdrug.
It had a red glass bottle, like a lopsided/squashed cube (?).
I'm no olfactory expert, but something deep in the mix reminded me of chocolate.

??????????

I have trawled the internet, including Fragrantica, looking for clues, but so far drew a blank and I wondered if anyone here could help!

@LILLYPRINT

Try putting into Google, Retro perfumes , red bottle square top. The click on images. Quite a few come up and you might just strike it lucky.
Try clicking on “see all” under the OP Wink

@HighlandCowbag

4am I was thinking about this fucking thread. 4 fucking am.

Anyway, price and smell and where you bought it I came up with Suns, moons and stars. But it's in a blue bottle and it's not square.

But it's all Ive got so just tell me I win the internet so I don't have to think about it anymore.

Aw I loved sun moon and stars!

Thanks for the laugh at "dirty slag" vibes as one of the clues Grin I'm suprised an offended mob hasn't descended on you yet Wink

So glad you found it!

Great thread, especially the many suggestions hours after OP's fragrance has been identified.

I have nothing to add, except, that a cracking sketch. I think the best I’ve ever seen on MN!

peachesarenom · 08/12/2021 00:24

Diesel?

Marrousia? Spelling may be wrong

Sorry came in late with my comment

Have tried looking on Etsy.com there are 'vintage' perfume sellers on there. They might be able to narrow down your search, also you would be able to contact the seller and describe it to them. Just a thought. I'm intrigued to find out what it was called! Good luck in your search. x

I liked tribe, it smelled like watermelon and a bit of spice which was exactly how ''Havana'' a more expensive men's scent smelt!

I’m also thinking Beyoncé Heat
