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. Then soft musk by Avon.
I bought a bottle of Exclamation body spray a couple of years ago-took me right back to the early ‘90s 😄

Panache.

First proper one was Estee Lauder White linen which quickly got dumped for Fendi, my other favourite was Tommy mens

It was either flower by Kenzo, or ck one.

Loved the Monsoon perfume of the 1990s, and me and my bestie both wore Cachet & Panache. I had a thing for the original Charlie (late 70s) and also a couple of Yardley ones, Chique and White Satin. Loved Tramp and one called Smitty - what odd names😵‍💫 I loved a sandalwood cologne by Boots for school.
Think my very first scent was Avons Pretty Peach!

Love this thread, O.P!

I got Tribe for Christmas when I was about 12.

Poison🤔

Ysatis by Givenchy ❤️

I had a friend who wore (I think) Charles of the Ritz, but I don't know if I'm imagining that?

Vanderbilt, as a gift.

Lacoste pink.

Or was it touch of pink?

Estee Lauder Beautiful. Loved it.

@Rauha - Champs-Élysées by Guerlain also my first perfume maybe 28 years ago and I have never worn anything else. I wear it every single day (even though they reformulated it so it’s not quite the same, and the new updated bottles are awful and leak). Also really difficult to get at the moment in UK.

Burberry as a gift, First, CkOne, Eternity and Obsession. As gifts.

White Musk. I also got a copy of Poison from our local corner shop. It was a deep purple colour and I kept it on my bedroom window ledge and it turned pale blue after a few weeks!

Charlie Red (I think there was a white, and possibly a gold, version as well)
Then CK One

Oh, and SO! Which a girl in my class helpfully declared smelled like rats' piss. Thanks Sarah

Le Jardin and Le Jardin d'Amour from boots, ooh I'm feeling all cosy remembering all these smells of yesterday. 😊

Cerrutti 1881 for me too. I still wear it. Beautiful.

Charlie
Caleche
Rive Gauche
White Musk
then got a wealthy boyfriend who supplied Chanel No 5 and I’ve worn it ever since.

Mine was tommy girl

Beautiful Estee Lauder. Bought by my first boyfriend. I was 15 or 16.
Quickly replaced by Escape Calvin Klein and CK One.

Either Britney Spears Curious or Rimmel Beat

Versace Red Jeans reminds me of a caravan holiday when I was 13 but it wasn’t mine, it was my friend’s. I had the ‘Baby Rose’ version

Fuzzy Peach and Dewberry from the Body Shop.
Eau de Gucci

Anais Anais
