Great thread!

Opium (16ish)
Dune (late teens)
L'eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake (19-early 20's)
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique (early-mid 20's) Love that bottle design!!
Clarins eau dynamisante (it's been my summer fragrance since my twenties, I adore it.)
Clarins eau ressourcante - 30's onwards, any time it's not summer!

I never realised before how I obviously experimented with different ones throughout my 20's and that I found my 'signature smells' in my 30's.

Either that or I just got boring?!

I don't own Rive Gauche anymore but I still enjoy a good blast of it if I am shopping - I make a note not to put any scent on in the morning and give myself a flashback of RG. Still love it.

OMG how could I have left of Eau Dynamisante - I've had so many bottles of it. Used to be my Duty Free go to. 30's

I still love RG. I like a quick sniff down memory lane.

I adore the bottle too. So 80s.

so so so 80's

I don't know 4160 Tuesdays. I've just had a google. Intriguing.

Oh I forgot my absolute favourite, Kingdom by Alexander McQueen. Long ago discontinued, I have mourned for it ever since.

Great thread!

I have anais anais, Chanel 5 and 19. Was bough Chanel Allure and didn't like it. Daughter has Daisy- I like that.

I like some lemon type fragrance I dint know the name of.

I hate those heavy chemical perfumes that lots of twenty something's like (my DD) . Some light flowery perfumes are nice.
