What smells like the 90s to you?

I had a sudden random flashback today to this Charles Worthington shampoo that I used in the 90s as a teenager (when I could convince my mum to buy it for me). It smelled so delicious, and used to leave my hair really nice. Feeling nostalgic for the 90s now. What smells remind you of that era?

Purple scented gel pens. I think the artificial scent was "grape" but I've never yet had a grape that smelled anything like it.
Charlie gold. Just typing the words makes me remember the smell. Ditto Avon Soft Musk.

I genuinely can't remember which Impulse I used to buy and I must have put a small hole in the ozone layer with the number of cans of that I finished.

Ooh also Lynx. I don't even know if it was called Lynx Africa at the time but I only knew it as Lynx and every boy at school smelled of it apart from that one randomer who smoked a fake pipe and wore Old Spice.

The body shop white musk, and Exclamation perfume. I still sing the lyrics to the exclamation advert randomly, make a statement without saying a word!

suzyscat · 29/10/2022 11:45

Spice girls impulse- I'd buy it tidy if I could. Once walked passed an old man who smelt so distinctively of it about 10 years ago and it made me so happy.

I wouldn't buy a body shop product now because of their mlm structure but their white musk.

Also bonfires but that's more generic childhood joy smell.
