Old perfumes I'm loving!

[saganorenscarandcoat]

Currently obsessed(!) with CK Obsession! It's an oldie but a goodie! Anyone else revisiting older perfumes?

Bloom- that bottle will absolutely sell. It's a discontinued perfume that is quite highly sought after.
Aqua Di Gio is still available here (Italy) quite cheaply.

Really? I must look into that then. I still like it, but go forfor l'eau d'issey now so it could go without me noticing.

You've made me miss Armani White! Why has that gone away?!

Did anyone have Matthew Williamson Flowers or something it was called? Bright pink box?

It's been discontinued

I still buy Dune and Samsara
Hated Poison.
What was the yellow and white striped box that was so overpowering that it was banned in some places? Giorgio?

I loved prada l'eau ambree for winter. Gutted it's discontinued. It wasn't even old. I used my last few sprays today. I know there are still some on ebay but it's too expensive for me now that it's discontinued.

Blasé was fabulous, also Gingham which we used to call "female Brut" anyone old enough to remember that one?

Gucci Envy. Now discontinued.

Dior Miss Dior Original. Had my first bottle in 1975. Try as I I have, I’ve had it since and it’s just not the same.

Lacoste pour Femme and DKNY Women. Ah...to be 20/21 again.

god yes to Miss Dior Original!

Nina Ricci Delci Dela - heaven in a bottle. No longer made though.

@Wolfiefan yes Georgio Beverley Hills 🤢

And Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue.

Oh, I feel some christmas shopping coming on.

Yup-i remember Gingham. And Charlie, and Blasé.

There was a period in the 70s when oils were popular-Sandalwood, Patchouli and Musk all really strong.

Modern perfumes are all so feeble!

Even Boudoir by Viv Westwood really disappointing.

Yes Ella it was.

I used to love Giorgio Beverly Hills Giorgio and Dior Diorella.

Am currently revisiting Cacharel Eden. I love its weird plasticky, (but not in a synthetic way) smell.

Tribe by coty. I miss it so much

Thoughtfor food finally someone else who knows Charlie White! I loved it and it was the most affordable option for me back then. You can still buy it!

My friend was obsessed with LouLou and Opium - I didn't like either..

'Eden' used to do a lighter version called 'L'eau de Eden' which was just beautiful, but that's not around anymore.

I still love Channel No.5 and CoCo as they remind me of my Mum who died several years ago.

I also loved Paris by Yves saint laurent, Georgio Beverley Hills Dream or something like that.

These days my favourite is Pleasure's by Estee Lauder.

Does anyone remember the Mens aftershave (I say Men - but we're talking the teenage boys) called JAZZ it was just gorgeous .

I'm really enjoying this trip down memory lane, thanks.

Chanel Allure and Flower by Kenzo

Spam-you can often pick Diorella (old version, not the wtf-is-this version that goes by the name now!) on eBay and the beauty of the old Diors are the 10ml bottles. I've picked up Diorella, Dioressence, Diorama, Dior Dior and Miss D for a song. German eBay for some reason seems to come up trumps.

Miss Dior originale still available isn't too far removed from old Miss Dior. Slightly less "animalic" but not bad. Just avoid the ones with the velvet bows that are called Miss Dior, but aren't!

Paris by YSL !!! I used to LOVE that!

Gucci Envy. How I loved that. I can still smell it now, so beautiful. Why oh why did they discontinue it? Shall we start a campaign?

I'd love to get hold of some eau de Givenchy. I loved that.

Eau de Givenchy was re-released about 5 years ago (only in France I think) as part of a collection of Givenchy classics (Givenchy III etc). Sadly it was madly expensive and didn’t smell the same.

Pangolina Yes! So many people on here and in RL say the same. It was a best seller for them. Why would they shoot the goose that laid the golden egg?
