When I was about 17 1983/84 used to walk through Debenhams for a spray of this ! But can't remember it's name , it was quite a strong spicy kind of scent in a burgundy slim sort of angular bottle with a gold lid and I think some black vertical line on the bottle ? I can Remember Rive Gauche (sp) and Je Reviens being popular at the same time but can't find anything like this on google ! It's driving me mad

Samsara?

isabellerossignol · 06/10/2019 14:49

Oh, actually, Samsara might be 1990s...sorry!

SnorkMaiden81 · 06/10/2019 14:51

I plumped for a bottle of that 'new' Tribe.

Not quite the same as it used to be. Sad

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 06/10/2019 14:56

I always liked the packaging of this one . Very 80s but a bit 60s retro too

Samsara or Ysatis are my guesses.

I am 44 now but I remember having exclamation as a teenager and I loved it! I have a bottle of poison even now it's awesome! And opium which I love. However I don't remember /recognise the perfume op liked.

I can picture this exact bottle - I know the one you’re talking about but I can’t remember what it was called

Lucked · 06/10/2019 17:22

I agree with above posters who have suggested Samsara
