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.

Amor amor. Or one of the Britney Spears perfumes 🙃

This is bringing back memories! I used to work in a perfume shop for my weekend job so had a huge range as I used to get testers/discounts. Gucci Rush 2 was my go to.

The 2 I used to wear, Byzance and D&G (forget the name, leopard print bottle) are now both hundreds of pounds on eBay! Should've stocked up!!

CalloohCallayFrabjousDay · 24/03/2023 12:44

Versace red jeans. Can't stand it now!

There used to be a body spray called So Kiss Me
Then I moved onto Lacoste Touch of Pink and then Calvin Klein Euphoria

AxolotlOnions · 24/03/2023 12:47

CK One and Eden Eau de Toilette (Cacharel).

Charlie - 70's

Rinkydinkydoodle · 24/03/2023 12:49

the one and only 😂

justsoembarrassing · 24/03/2023 12:53

I was a teenager in the 80s and myself and friends tended to wear Estée Lauder perfumes:

Youth Dew
Cinnabar
White Linen

My mum wears Youth Dew still and it's SO strong!!!

pagopago · 24/03/2023 12:56

Impulse body spray - Hint of Musk and Chic sprays, also the one in the black bottle - Temptation?

Limara body spray

Body Shop Dewberry

L'Aimant, Anais Anais, Poison, Lou Lou.

MoonahSton · 24/03/2023 12:59

Exclamation then moved onto Eden which I wore for ages then She by Armani.

I reckon smelling any of them would take me right back to those days.

Fedoos · 24/03/2023 13:01

I used to like Exclamation, Charlie Red and Body Shop Ananya. I don't think anyone has mentioned yet what used to be my absolute favourite though - maybe it was much worse than I remember! This:

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.

Yes! Was trying to remember the name - I loved it,

Also Anaïs, Anaïs and L'Air du Temps. And there was a cloyingly sweet (in retrospect) Lancôme one in a funny-shaped bottle - don't remember the name.

DumbPrinceAndHisStupidWife · 24/03/2023 13:05

Body Shop White musk

Angel

J-Lo Glow

Are the ones I remember, anyway

poolcrew · 24/03/2023 12:09

@Greyflowers did that have a little pearl on it? It seems to have triggered a long forgotten memory!

Other than the standard body shop favourites, mine are:
Gucci Rush and Gucci Rush 2
Amor amor by Cacharel
Samsara
Impulse Temptation
Issey Miake eau D'issey

Yes !!! I loved it I think the bottle colours were different depending on what size and type

Lastnamedidntstick · 24/03/2023 13:09

Monsoon used to do a couple of perfumes I really liked. An orange bottle and a blue one?

every so often I google in the hope they bring it back or someone does a dupe.

ImpossibleDrear · 24/03/2023 13:12

I'd forgotten Loulou - someone gave me that as a gift but I didnt wear it much.

And yes, Exclamation! (don't forget the !)

As a 90s teen, I wore Impulse Free Spirit, Charlie Red, Exclamation, Body Shop Dewberry, CK One, Tommy Girl and Body Shop Vanilla (I loved it but people would say it smelt like cigars!!)

bluebellinthewood · 24/03/2023 13:15

I used the usual, Charlie red, Charlie gold, exclamation, white musk, anais anais. My absolute fave was Dior hypnotic poison. If I smell it now it whisks me back to being 16!

TakeMe2Insanity · 24/03/2023 13:17

Dewberry! Omg the blast from the pst.
sunflowers
Obsession

I was recently at an airport and shocked to see them back on shelves!

I LOVE Shiseido Relaxing Fragrance, still have a bottle that I use sparingly as I don't want to ever run out.
