It's driving me mad that I can't find any trace of it on the internet.

I think it was called Forever, although I'm starting to doubt myself on that. It was what I call a chemist perfume (cheap!), possibly by Coty. I think it was in a purple box and bottle, the bottle had a sort of arch-shaped lid I think. It was around at the same time as Exclamation and Tribe, but can't have been as popular.

I just need confirmation of its existence.

Exclamation - now there's a blast from the past.

Is this the one you're looking for - dark vanilla?

kelper · 18/12/2013 13:49

Oh my goodness I loved tribe! Serious blast from the past! I can vaguely recall the one you're talking about though

ShatnersBassoon · 18/12/2013 14:53

No, not that one. I've been Googling like a mad thing and must have looked at every perfume bottle ever produced, but can't find any trace of it. It existed, it was fairly widely available, it just hasn't been recorded anywhere.

What sort of smell? Flowery? Musky? Spicy? Lemony?

tshirtsuntan · 18/12/2013 14:55

Avon?

ChestnutsroastingintheFireligh · 18/12/2013 14:55

I loved Le Jardin & Le Jardin D'Amour

I had a set of little sampler bottles from Boots one Xmas - felt so grown up.

VerySmallSqueak · 18/12/2013 14:56

There was a gorgeous one from Avon,I believe in a purple bottle,though not sure,called Night Musk.

ChestnutsroastingintheFireligh · 18/12/2013 14:57

Night Musk was lovely.

craftynclothy · 18/12/2013 15:00

Was it in a bottle a bit like this www.thebeautyhub.com/2012/10/lancomes-tresor-midnight-rose/ My mum had a cheap 'copy' of this n a purple box

VerySmallSqueak · 18/12/2013 15:00

Poison was in a purple bottle but that was pricey.
Vanderbilt was one of my favourites - that's in a lilac box....

VerySmallSqueak · 18/12/2013 15:01

Anyone else have Lou Lou?
I never worked out whether I liked it or not!

Longdistance · 18/12/2013 15:02

Vanderbilt?

RayPurchase · 18/12/2013 15:04

Forever by Yardley? Its discontinued now :( I had it when I was a kid.

gaggiagirl · 18/12/2013 15:07

So...? Exclamation! Tribe

Ahhhhhh memories.

It wasn't So...? Was it?

I would love a bottle of tribe.

VerySmallSqueak · 18/12/2013 15:13

I may have to ask a passing Santa if I can have some Vanderbilt.

OneLittleLady · 18/12/2013 15:15

I'm pretty certain they sell Tribe in my local HoF outlet. I'm certain I've seen it in there among many other things I don't recognise

plentyofsoap · 18/12/2013 15:25

Everyone I knew had white musk from the body shop.

ProfondoRosso · 18/12/2013 15:27

My mum used to wear Lou Lou, VerySmallSqueak. For that reason, I love the way it smells. She seemed very glamorous to me when I was wee! There's a pair of black 'silk' nylon pyjamas still lurking somewhere in parents' house with Lou Lou embroidered on them - DM got them free with the perfume! Grin

cloudskitchen · 18/12/2013 15:33

Theres an Avon one on ebay called bond girl forever. its in a purple bottle?

gaggiagirl · 18/12/2013 15:47

HOW MUCH?

I was willing to pay a tenner for some.

OneLittleLady · 18/12/2013 15:48

gaggiagirl I could look in the shop I'm sure sells it here for you after christmas if you want? I would go before but I just don't have time. I'm willing to go look after though.

gaggiagirl · 18/12/2013 16:15

Thank you one that's really kind of you. I've waited this long, I can wait til after Xmas. Thank you!

Can you believe that price? Its hardly a vintage guerlain is it. Its bloody 20 year old coty!

OneLittleLady · 18/12/2013 16:19

Drop me a Pm gaggia so I don't forget your name when I go for a look. Will report back after christmas!

cosikitty · 18/12/2013 16:26

www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Yardley/Forever-13649.html This is the Yardley one.

Allthingsprettyreturns · 18/12/2013 17:12

I had tribe. Just looking at that pic has bought back loads of memories!
