I'd like to buy one of those sort of sets for my daughter.

White musk (What I was wearing aged 15 when I had my tonsils out - to this day, white musk makes me think of hospitals!)
Sun Moon and Stars (late teens)
Jean Paul Gaultier Woman (early 20s)
Thierry Mugler Angel (mid 20s)
Coco Channel Mademoiselle (late 20s)
For the whole of my 30s I've been using Ghost Deep Night - the scent suits me perfectly and I can't imagine ever switching again!

MrsB I too had one of those box sets - my Dad bought it for me from Duty Free.

The so! Box sets
White musk
Hugo deep red
Chanel cristalle
Flowerbomb
Boss orange
And now (23) either Chanel 5/coco mademoiselle, or angel.

Love this thread!

Let's see if I can remember all:
Teens
My mum bought me Fleur Interdit when I was about 14. Gorgeous flowery scent.
Tocado- very rich. I see a trend in the thread of teenagers liking very rich quite grown up scents.
Lulu
Eden

Uni
Van Cleef & Arpels (loved that one)
L'Eau D'Issy
Aqua Di Gio
Chanel Allure (really complex scent)
5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden
Clinique Happy

Stella (the one in the spiky crystal bottle)
Pear and Freesia by Jo Malone.

Body Shop Whit Musk
Body Shop Dewberry
Givenchy Amarige
CK1
Chanel No 5
Bulgari Green Tea
Space NK Laughter
Le Labo Rose 31

I have bought Caudalie Fleur de Vigne on and off for years - I use it as more of a body fragrance. It's lovely for the summer

Oh yes, and Diptique Phylosykos came after Bulgaria Green Tea!

Ah yes, Kiku ... like a little minion!

SecondSunrise what is this Serge Lutens tester box you speak of? I can't see anything on his website though I did discover a lovely video of his talking about Feminite Du Bois.

So many memories related to these, when you smell them again it takes you back to right there and then:
So... Kiss Me
Diesel
Britney Spears - Fantasy
Elizabeth Arden - Provocative Woman
Gucci - Rush
Escada - various summer editions
Hugo Boss - Deep Red
Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera
Rihanna - Nude
Cerrutti - 1881
But always always go back to Kate Moss - Kate

White Musk
Anais Anais
LouLou
CK1
Tendre Poison
Issy Miyake
Clinque Happy
Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Miss Dior

Dewberry
Impulse vanilla
Addiction
Tommy Girl
Gucci Envy
Addiction
CK Be
Coco Mademoiselle
Paul Smith Floral

On a desperate note - did anyone else used to wear BS Moonflower, or know of anything that smells similar??

I know you've ordered yours LovelyFriend but anyone wanting the tester box of Serge Lutens - simply email them and they'll give you the details of their Paris store. Ring them to order a box of 34 (36?) wax samplers for Euro 8.50. They speak English and take credit cards apparently!

Mine is Dolce & Gabbana pour Femme, old version (pillar box red packaging) which was rather annoyingly discontinued in 2002 and relaunched in a maroon packaging a few months later. Smells totally different and nothing like original. Cannot find it anywhere except eBay or via US online perfumers (import tax total rip-off).
Would love them to bring it back

Lime roll-on perfume, bottle in the shape of a doll (I can still remember the scent of it now)
Avon Lily-of-the valley, Honeysuckle and Rose push-up cologne sticks
Lou Lou
Poison (still love this on other people)
Angel (ditto)
Shalimar

Charlie
Exclamation
Fuzzy Peach from Body Shop
Oceana? Or something... Again Body Shop
White Musk
Patchouli Oil
Coty L'aimant
Lou Lou
Anais Anais
Chanel (Coco)
Gucci Envy
Samsara
Flower, Kenzo (really liked this)
Paul Smith
Clarins Par Amour (this was the most recent one - a gift- it gives me headache.)

I need a nice, light scent. I fancy a Jo Malone...

I forgot Amarige.

My mum used to buy me the Avon copies of lots of popular fragrances and I also had one of those sets of mini perfumes with Anais Anais, Loulou etc.
