Fragrances you wore as a teen

I was a teen in the 90s. I remember everybody going crazy for Body Shop Dewberry but don't really remember what it smelled like?

I got some Sunflowers perfume and wore WAAAY too much of it, ALL the time. My friend's mum asked her to tell me to stop wearing it at their house. 😂😂😂 The smell turns my stomach now.

I was a teen in the 90's and had the following:

  • Early teens- Various Impulse varieties
  • Body shop white musk and also vanilla
  • Late teens- Giorgio Beverly Hills (my boyfriends mum used it and I thought it was the height of sophistication) 😂

Impulse o2 and Body Shop Ananya.

TheLeadbetterLife · 24/03/2023 11:16

Oh god, Gucci Rush. I was given a gift set of it as a leaving present from my waitressing job. I was so sick of it by the time I'd used it all.

HarpendenHarpendenHarpenden · 24/03/2023 11:18

Yeah I had the dewberry and the vanilla Body Shop sprays in the Nineties.

As an older teenager, I'd wear Lolita Lempicka Le Parfum or Love Love by Moschino.

YellowMay · 24/03/2023 11:18

My perfume obsession started in my early teens!

I wore the dark pink Impulse body spray, BodyShop Dewberry or Ananya, and Exclamation.

My first grown up perfume was Dior Poison.

In my late teens I wore Very Valentino, Paco Rabanne UltraViolet and D&G Feminine. I still have a 30ml bottle of the D&G that I sniff for memories now and then 😀

It was actually really lovely. I wore it all through university too. Shame they discontinued it.

I left school early 90’s. For school I wore BS White Musk, BS Dewberry, Exclamation, Benetton of some sort and then various Impulse body sprays.

For occasions I had Obsession, Giorgio Beverley Hills, Red, EL Beautiful, YSL Paris, Dune, JPG and a few more. I LOVED perfume. Ironically I can’t wear any these days, apart from a very small spritz of a lighter JPG. I remember getting this in the US when I was 16 too and loved it.

Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle! I absolutely LOVED it and it was ‘my smell’ for years!

If I was staying with a particular friend, I would occasionally use her Cerruti 1881 so that stirs up memories too.

Ah…Simpler times.
