Does anyone remember this, I can't remember the name but I'm sure I'll recognise it when I hear it, also is it still available.

AquaManda ?

Was it Aqua Manda?

It's been relaunched I think.

TheSeedsOfADream · 18/09/2020 20:55

Yes, it was relaunched in 2013 after being discontinued in 1975!

It might have been, although when I look at the images they don't look familiar, I thought the packaging was a more solid orange colour.

Dark brown bottle with orange on the label?

From France?

I've looked again and I think I was thinking of the talc bottle. Do you think the new one will smell the same?

I've read some perfume blogs which say it's a pretty good match for the original but that everyone remembers the original as being very orangey whereas it's really a musky spicy orange. So it's maybe a bit less orange. You can pick up vintage bottles on eBay too.

I loved Aqua Manda so was excited to get some when it was relaunched, but was bitterly disappointed with it. It’s a nice enough perfume, but it isn’t aqua manda by any stretch of the imagination.

I think I remember my Mum having it.

I recently got a sample of this by Guerlain though which was ok.
