Fragrances of the decades!

[fluoxe]

For me the 90s are Sunflowers - Elizabeth Arden, but I grew up in the US so not sure if it was the same in the UK? Every girl I knew doused herself in Sunflowers.

What about the other decades?

80s- Tocade, CoCo, Poison
90s- Burberry Woman, Issy Myake
late 90’s/00s- Gucci Rush, JPG
00’s Coco Mademoiselle, Chloe

Oh God, yeah Angel ( blee!) how could I forget that one!

Omg I forgot about Jessica McClintock!! I used to adore that one as well.

Other 90s scents I forgot:

Dune
Roma

60s: Aqua Manda
Charlie

70s: Rive Gauche
Interdit
Lou Lou

80s: First by Van Cleef and Arpels. (Still my all time favourite)

Oh my, I love Van Cleef and Arpels First too. I bought a bottle at a jumble sale when I was about 10, and unlike most of the others I got that way, it was lovely.

For me:
80s: White Musk, Intimate musk, Anais Anais, another really heavy Body Shop oil that I've forgotten - a bit like apples and very sweet.

90s: Sublime by Jean Patou, Rose musk, a posh one in a bluish bottle that smelled of melons, Intimate musk, Joop Homme. Youth Dew because I inherited a bottle! Quite challenging to wear tbh.

00s: Sublime is the only one I remember, and Sandalwood and rosemary essential oils.

10s: Ginger by Lush, Issey Miyake (various) Molton Brown (various but Oud and amber smells stand out). Sandalwood and patchouli essential oils.

20s: Tom Ford (various) Grass and Devil's Nightcap by Lush, (Ginger is still nice but too evocative of lockdown!)

Rive Gauche was the first perfume dh bought me when we were dating .

I now want to try Jessica McClinktock,never heard of it before!

Early 70s Smitty - all I could afford
Mid 70s Tweed by Lentheric & Youth Dew Estée Lauder - both far too cloying and heavy for a teenager
80s - Chanel No 5 - still love this but I met DH and his allergies meant I couldn't wear any perfume ever again😂

still like Anais Anais and body shop White musk. Remember Aqua Manda as a teenager. There was another one that was meant to small like freshly mown hay!

Loved CK One and body shop dewberry. Anais Anais and lou lou popular

Make a statement..without saying a word

Takes me back to being 16and reading Mizz before heading out to the bright lights of the local pubs you could get in without ID

1980s: Miss Dior and Diorella. The first grown-up perfumes my mum brought me. I still wear them at times.

There was another one that was meant to small like freshly mown hay!

I remember one like that! Was that Gap Grass? 🤔

And body shop white musk

80s - (for me) White Musk, Fuzzy Peach, Yardley's White Satin and Black Velvet My mum wore Chanel No 5
90s - Eternity, CK One, Eau D'Issey, My friend used to wear Deci Dela

I still wear Tommy Girl and Cerutti 1881 to this day!

Dioressence in the 80s until it was discontinued
Gucci Rush 90s, 00s,10s, 20s (I found my One 😁)
(edited as I just searched for dioressence and it is available but with a massive price tag!)

If you're on your phone, try 'select all' and delete.

@Fizzadora I think you may be same age range as me - do you remember pino.silvestre on the boys?
I smelt Youth Dew on someone the other day and asked what it was as I
didn't recognise it .
It was divine

Thank you @quantumbutterfly

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichorJessica McClintock is a white floral described as Lilly of the valley top note but honestly it’s subtle and perfumers describe Lilly of the valley as “mute”. I have tried to switch to other Lilly of the valley scents including the OG of them all DIOR but always go back. You can find on Amazon or I buy it right out of the case at my USA Walmart. It has a long shelf life I’ve never had one go bad. I do think some scents transcended time and if it were repackaged and rebranded it would be popular again.

Don’t think so it was the same era as Aqua Manda possibly the same manufacturer it was advertised in Jackie
