Your first perfume

[Gingersay]

Can you remember what your first proper perfume was? I was looking for a perfume for dd12 for Christmas and I sniffed one and it instantly took me back to 1994 it was identical to the original United colours of Benetton perfume, I got a bit excited and said to the girl in the shop who nodded along sympatheticly with the old woman!!

Exclamation!

I would do anything to be able to smell it one more time

I had Blue Grass too 🙂
Also, around the same time, Tweed (my mum used it)
And Aqua Manda? Not sure that counts as proper perfume though (Woolies stocked it iirc)

Ahhh exclamation goodness i forgot about that !!! Wow that takes me back with the black and white bottle.

I forgot about Tresor.

I am quite sure it was a bit old for me as a teen, but the bottle must have swung me 😊

😊

Has anyone mentioned Tribe yet??????? Just seen a bottle on ebay for about £160....I must have had about 6 bottles at one point!!!

Tabu by Dana? my sister got it as a present and didnt like it so passed it on to me ,I felt so grown up 😆

Audace. The Geogio Beverly Hills.
I don't countSo!

Tribe. Fucking loved that smell!

And when it was time to move onto something a little more sophisticated it was that one in the green bottle with the pink crown that looked like a glow in the dark toy.

My first actual designer perfume was CK One I think.

Exclamation! here too

Tommy girl! I got it from duty free one year, and felt so grown up!

Anaïs Anaïs

It! By Lentheric in the early 80's. I was v young but I (and my friends) loved this perfume.

Anaïs Anaïs bought for me by a wonderful Aunt who always gave amazing gifts. I was 16 I think.

Sunflowers

Miss Dior when it was nice

Chanel Allure

Panache, Lentheric .

or maybe Havoc? it was a long time ago!

LouLou, I still like it too.

Coty Exclamation?

We still get it here in SA. There is quite a big range now.

The original black and white bottle is also still around.

Is it discontinued in the UK?

Avon’s first flowers. Then Anais Anais.

White Satin & Loulou, oooh that brings back memories!

Perhaps find one of those gift sets where you get several small bottles by one make so she can experiment?

Eau de Givenchy
Gorgeous, peaches and grapefruit but too weak, no stay

Exclamation was the first I bought myself, but my first favourite was Estee Lauder Pleasures, which I bought with my 25% staff discount in Debenhams. When I turned 21 a friend bought me a bottle of Duende by J Del Poso and any chance I got I would stock up in the airport-absolutly amazing scent, I still hanker after it all these years later 😫

Fiori

I dont remember who made it, and googling just brings up modern perfumes, not the 70s one.

It had a frosted bottle and a burgundy cap, I think.
