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 had quite the collection.

I still love Spellbound and always have a bottle on the go. Brings back so many memories. I would be devastated if they discontinued it.

As a 13 year old onwards, nicking my mum’s Femme (Rochas) or Anais Anais. When I bought my own it was the Benetton one, body shop vanilla or Fuzzy peach.

from 17 onwards it was CK Obsession, Rochas Byzance, KL by Lagerfeld, Chanel Cristalle.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 26/03/2023 19:05

I forgot about Colors Benetton. And the Hot and Cold Benettons with the taps, had all 3.

Rinkydinkydoodle · 24/03/2023 12:49

the one and only 😂

This is now my favorite perfume

BettySundaes · 26/03/2023 19:56

Body Shop Dewberry and later Oceanus (wish they still did the latter, found an old bottle recently just had the faintest of whiff)
Impulse - some of them were awful (remember my sister had Sandalwood one which I hated)
Avon - Odyssey
Then the CK in succession as they were released, in order I think Obsession, wow that was heavy, then Eternity and CKOne which was lighter
Lou Lou

We liked our boys in Kouros!!!

I loved Delci Dela by Nina Ricci, wish it was still available

Whoah totally forgot about that. Absolutely loved it.

Also forgot Georgio

I loved the Paloma Picasso bottle then the Angel one.

I still have so many perfumes- I don't feel dressed without it.

Anais Anais

Cristalle
Body shop one which nobody has mentioned yet...not a musk, not fruity, more like apple orchards...Winter Dew!

My mum had Fidji and Charlie, which I'd nick. My gran had Youth Dew, ditto.

Panache! Mentally entwined with my school uniform to this day.

Me too! My mother bought me a bottle as a young teen and I thought I was so sophisticated.
Also has Tweed, them graduated onto LouLou, Anais Anais and samsara when I got to uni.
Then discovered Chanel coco and No 5 and never looked back.

Jellycats4life · 01/05/2023 21:41

I was so basic with my fragrances.

Loved Exclamation and Anais Anais. White Musk, obvs. Impulse O2. Also remember the Impulse Vanilla range which smelled really cloying but everyone bought them anyway.

Also had a little tin from Boots with four fragrances in glass vials. Can’t remember their names but they might have been riffs on water, air, earth and fire?

Then in my late teens I was all about CK One and CK Be because I wasn’t like the other girls and decided to reject stereotypical femininity/wearing skirts and dresses etc. Totally would have been “non-binary” if it was a thing back then, but thank goodness it wasn’t. I was just an awkward, angsty girl.

Jellycats4life · 01/05/2023 22:07

Now thinking about all the 00s fragrances I had in my 20s.

I bought Tommy Girl (even at the time I knew I was too old for it, but it was fun), a Gucci Rush 2 flanker in a long tall bottle, something to do with peonies. The Stella McCartney peony fragrance in the pale pink square bottle. Lolita Lempicka in the apple shaped bottle with the really cool “stalk” sprayer. Something DKNY that smelled like lemonade. An Origins grapefruit fragrance that barely lasted on the skin but smelled amazing. The relaunched Chloe. Fun times!

JaceLancs · 01/05/2023 22:36

I started out on Chloe narcisse and Byzance moved on to amarige and then discovered Guerlain
