Oh! I posted mine last night, or thought I had, evidently phone didn't like my choice! (I am very predictable ha ha)
Anais Anais- Spanish boys in grotty student residences, big Bonnie Tyler hair and dodgy 80s music. Rarely wear it, but always have a bottle (especially since a kind perfumista pointed out to me that I needed "originale" and not the latest sweet sickly version.
Chanel 19- am still dying to get my hands on a pre-90s sample, I don't trust vintage Chanel on ebay and Perfumed Court won't ship here. However, I fell in love with it in 84 when my university roommate wore it, and then the girl I lived with in Spain also wore it. So it kind of followed me around without me ever wearing it. It is still so sublimely perfect and when I pass someone in the street wearing it, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
80s Ysatis. Wore this for a few years, and nabbed an almost full vintage bottle after smelling the purple-boxed monstrosity that purports to be it now. So rich and full, it will soon be Autumnal enough to crack it open.
Givenchy III- my first grown up perfume. Along with Dioressence, the ones I go for when I want to power-dress in a perfume sense.
Vent Vert- my new love. Am going to end up sourcing a full bottle of the old stuff. This will be on a need-to-know basis as far as Dh and my credit card are concerned.
Cuir Cordoba- Keiko Mecheri- I don't often (as seen from my Sotds etc) even try new perfumes. I am a vintage girl at heart. This came in my Nose samples and initially I was indifferent. I bloody luffs it now, and sooner or later, I think will need a FB of this. Can't remember which reviewer said it (Scented Hound possibly) but the analogy of putting your nose in a lady's glove drawer and getting that mix of powdery perfume and the leather, is perfect.
80s Paris- again, like the 19, it reminds me of Spain, and again, it wasn't me wearing it. I was chatting with the friend who did wear it on FB earlier this year, and reminiscing (we haven't seen each other since 88) and she bought some on the back of our conversation- said just opening the bottle blew her away in memories. I've smelled many rose fragrances and most are too naturally-soliflore-clean-innocent roses. This is rose with something big and naughty and very 80s thrown in.
L'Heure Bleue- it's a comfort food thing.
80s Rive Gauche - moved onto this after the Anais Anais and before the Ysatis.
My last one would be a massive tie between all the ones I've recently tried, but never worn for any length of time to build a perfume-memory: Coromandel, Sycomore, 31 Rue Cambon, Eau du Sud, Heritage, Fracas.....I'm going to go with Eau du Sud because I think that is one I'll splash out on a FB of sooner or later.
