What smells like the 90s to you?

[Jknow]

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?

Yes the smell of my hair after a night out in a Smokey club!

Aussie shampoo
Peach snapps
acetone (I worked in a nail bar with no ventilation)
regal cigarettes
issy mikake perfume
Hugo boss on the boys

Versace blue jeans !
(Actually bought this for my 18yo DS )

I remember that shampoo! Yes!

For me the big one has got to be Impulse o2.

Other contenders:
Body Shop White Musk
Body Shop Dewberry
Exclamation
Boots Vanilla body spray
Cerruti 1881
CK One
CK Be
Farenheit (on the boys 😂)
Red Elvive
A chocolate lip balm that I can’t remember the name of (or the brand)

Eternity from Calvin Klein .Wore it from 1990 till1998 when i had my son .Couldnt wear perfume for a few years after kids.

I had a mint swirl Glitterbabes lip balm in the shape of a flower and chocolate lip balm from the Avon. Both smells remind me of primary school.

Boots fruit fragrance body sprays. The girls changing rooms at school smelt like feet and haribo.

I see it is still for sale, I am tempted to buy some

White musk and the body shop lip gloss in the little pots. The beach and sea breeze because I lived on the coast back then.

Incense sticks which were replaced by essential oils and diffusers.

Tippex and Tippex thinner, does anyone ever buy Tippex anymore?

• Charlie body spray
• Anais anais perfume
• Incense sticks

Although all of these things might be more 2000s now I think about it 🤔 definitely connected to my youth though and around the 90s/00s!

Salon selectives shampoo and conditioner. I remember the advert. Like you just stepped out of a salon!

White musk, dewberry ,patchouli oil ,joss sticks.

I wouldnt have thought there was a need anymore?i
I was watching jaws with my now 16 yr old son a few years back ,and there was a scene where somebody was typing a letter ,Ds had never seen a typwriter before ,and asked me how they deleted a mistske ,i had to explain all about tippex 🤣
He was mind blown.

Mars plastic rubbers. Fimo clay.

Dewberry, o2 impulse, hair mascara (I had a purple one that smelt like child's powder paint)

Peach concorde.

Yes! I lived in London in the 90s before moving overseas, I remember the first time I came back, arrived at Heathrow at 5am and got the tube, I remember the doors opening at an overground station and being hit with the smell of London waking up. It’s hard to describe but felt so lovely.

Other 90s smells for me, definitely impulse, amirige, Lou Lou, certuiti 1881 which is still one of my go to perfumes. I had a friend who only ever wore drewberry. For the lads Lynx, cool water and joop 🤢 still can’t stand it.

Strwaberry lip balm from boots. Smoky pubs

Amaraige
Jean Paul Gaultier
Farenheit
Patchouli oil
White Musk
Givenchy Fluer d Interdit (sadly discontinued)

Bath pearls

Juicy tubes lipglosses

Paul Smith 'Floral' perfume in the white bottle with wide base and skinny top, yellow lid

Starbucks strawberries and cream frappes (yuccck)

The smell of offices...smelt much more like musty places because of vast numbers of lever arch files with paperwork, now everything is heading towards paperless or paper minimalism...

Chlorine

Those small jelly fruit cups that cost like 30p from the corner shop and were definitely a choking hazard

Smell of pick n mix at the cinema

The smell inside any roller disco type place

Versace Red/Green/Blue Jeans
So!

This

CK One

Calvin Klein Escape, Eau de Eden and Noa.

The hand wash in John Lewis smells like Escape, and whisks me back every time.

Oh and Body Shop Roma.

Right Guard Vogue and Wash and Go shampoo. Reminds me of a school trip in 1989
