Tell me the perfume and tell me the person it reminds you of...

[lemonsunshinecake]

I'll start, Cabochard by Gres and reminds me of my older sister when she was going out for the night. Brings back lovely memories of her.

Body Shop White Musk reminds me of my friend Samantha’s Mum from when we were in Primary School. Smelling it now takes me back to being 8/9 years old.

Ghost reminds me of my good friend Sarah, from when I was 20ish. We met at work and just got drunk ALL THE TIME.

Poison, my sister used to bath in it. Literally, I bought her the perfume, bath stuff and body lotion for her 18th

Heure bleue, my best friends mum used to wear it. Except i thought that was just what their house smelled like. It was only decades later when i smellt HB, it was like a punch to the heart.

Eternity - my mum always smellt of her cigarettes and eternity. The most comforting smell when i was a child.

Channel no. 5; my nana. When my dad cleared out her house after she died I snaffled her fabric toilet bag that she kept her scrabble tiles in because it smelt of her/it.

White musk and furniture polish; my other granny. I sniffed some of the body shops by chance and nearly cried on the shop! Her whole flat smelt like this.

Chanel No.19 always reminds me of my flatmate's girlfriend at university. She kept borrowing my scarves, and they'd come back reeking of it. Strangely enough, I now love the perfume, but I didn't like her!

Houbigant Quelques Fleurs - my lovely stepmum. It's not a fragrance you encounter often, but it conjures her up every time I smell it.

Amarige. Someone i saw for health care reasons years ago. I assumed she had some terrible rotting wound but it turned out to be her perfume.

Ck one - xh. I tried it in a shop and few weeks ago out of nostalgia. It did actually bring back the early days of our relationship when we still had fun

CKOne reminds me of the summer before Uni, when I went to work somewhere completely random and lived in. I had a 6 week fling with a guy with the most incredible accent I’d ever heard. I went off him when we went to (different) unis afterwards and tried to keep it going. All of this was totally out of character for quiet studious little me.

It still makes me weak at the knees when I smell it

Linvin arpege or Chanel no5 .... my mum rip.

Brut - brings back my yoof and snogs behind the bus station.

CKOne reminds me of my ex husband. I avoid it and him.

Miss Dior (the proper stuff, not that pink shite) is my mum, even though I wear it often myself it still reminds me of her.

Magie Noire (lancome) reminds me of my mum.

Coty l'aimant and opium - mum
Estee lauder White linen and estee - my very glamourous aunt
Ysl Paris - my cousin
My bff at 6th form - chanel coco
Giorgio - my sister

Givenchy and Clinique Aromatics - my fab mum
Eternity - my first and very lovely boyfriend

Samsara reminds me of my deceased Grandmother

Eternity -my best friend at secondary
Issey Miyake- best friend at uni
Lou Lou - a woman I worked for
Anais Anais - my sister
Elysium by Clarins - wore this at uni and it brings me right back

Estée Lauder Sunflowers reminds me of my BF at university.

Estée Lauder Beautiful reminds me of my dad ( he always bought this for me)
Poison my mate Kim
Vera wang princess dd1
Elizabeth Arden Red Door Mil

The Body Shop's Dewberry reminds me of every female my class in 1990.
By 1992 we'd upgraded to Exclamation by day and Poison by night. All of us

Elizabeth arden sunflowers, reminds me of all the girls in my year when we first started high school i feel sick if i smell it now lol

Kouros - first boyfriend (hope he eventually realised he was gay)
Eau de Metal - Paco Rabanne (before he became French David Ike and believed in lizards )
Aramis - all boys
Opium - all women
Poison - all girls
Giorgio - SIL. stank like fuck and was banned in BH / LA restaurants. Tried to tactfully bring to SIL's attention but she just said: "smells lovely on me" so everyone in 20 yard radius had massive headache when she sprayed it on.

Rive Gauche - my DM
D&G Light Blue - was my best friend's signature in the 00s

Rive Gauche - My gran
Eau Sauvage - my dad and grandpa
Youth Dew and the original Chloe - my mum, although she's very much alive and doesn't wear either anymore.

I've got bottles of them all.

Dior's Poison.
Who wore it? An old boss. She used to drown herself in it. The boss was ok. The smell wasn't! Way too overpowering to be worn like that everyday.

Nuxe Prodigieux.
Who wears it? No one i know! But sometimes i spray a tester on me and then spend the WHOLE DAY catching a whiff of myself and trying to decide if i like it. I really do not know. It's intoxicating but i'm not sure if it's in a good way or a sickly way ...

Chanel no 5 - my old ICT teacher, who was a really horrible old cow. I hate it even though it should be right up my street.
