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.

Ooh, I’ve just remembered Samsara too. A lot of my friends used to wear LouLou but I didn’t. Though I do have half a bottle in the cupboard as it was my husband’s grandma’s.

Harryisabollock · 24/03/2023 13:29

Nina Rich is Deci Dela - discontinued now but just managed to find a bottle on eBay! Also Sculpture by Nikos ( I think...)

Courgeon · 24/03/2023 13:29

White musk, body shop vanilla, Charlie, Anaïs Anaïs, poison, Lou Lou. I think they were the main ones.

Anais Anaïs..... My brother has learning difficulties he still buys me this for birthday and Christmas every year.... I usually donate them :)

That's lovely

Anjo2011 · 24/03/2023 13:35

Eternity , Calvin Klein. Used to totally overdo it when putting it on !

uncomfortablydumb53 · 24/03/2023 13:38

Anais.. it was my first real perfume

Spanglemum · 24/03/2023 13:42

80s teenager here. The perfume oils from the Body Shop including Dewberry, White Musk and sandalwood

Rinkydinkydoodle · 24/03/2023 13:44

We were pure class😂 I wore Angel the whole time I was going out with The Love of My Life (who of course dumped me) and I had to give it away. Sweet memories🥳🤣

Brefugee · 24/03/2023 13:44

i did also have a goth phase and that was all Patchuli scented. The oil is so strong i used to put on a tiny amount, which was still too much, so I'd put it on and then go in the shower

Novita · 24/03/2023 13:44

I also liked Tresor

listsandbudgets · 24/03/2023 13:54

I still wear Anais Anais.. Loved it then love it now

However I seem to have dropped Exclamation, body shoo peach and dewberry Ll of which I thought were great when I was 14!

I also had a bottle of Devon violet.

These days I hanker after Penhalligons luna but can't really justify the price

listsandbudgets · 24/03/2023 14:00

@crazyBadger I think I love your brother. How thoughtful of him to have taken on board what you like(ed) . I'd be delighted of my brother bought me anais anais every year!

Saucery · 24/03/2023 14:07

Paloma Picasso was my first, then Tresor and Chanel No. 5.

TheDogsMother · 24/03/2023 14:10

Late teens was Rive Gauche. Anyone remember that ? Then Anais Anais, L'eau d'Issy, Clinique Happy.

Hubcapdiamondstarhalo · 24/03/2023 14:12

Coty L'Aimant and Carven Ma Griffe. I bought Chanel no 5 with my 18th birthday money.

ElaOfSalisbury · 24/03/2023 14:13

Jean Paul Gaultier - Think it’s now called classique?
Tommy Girl
Samsara

BillyNoM8s · 24/03/2023 14:14

Tribe
Charlie in all it's coloured variations
Impulse. So many Impulse body sprays...

One or two from Avon...

Extravagant days:

Blingstar · 24/03/2023 14:16

Ysatis by Givenchy. I loved it.

LolaSmiles · 24/03/2023 14:17

I was hoping someone said CKOne.

I had White Musk from the Body Shop and the matching bath pearls that you could squash and never properly dissolved too 😂.

I had a market dupe of Mugler's Angel too and thought I was so grown up.

handsoffate · 24/03/2023 14:21

Angel, and I’d also borrow my boyfriend’s Obsession, which smelt much better than the women’s version imo.

Icantfindanewname · 24/03/2023 14:24

My mum's bottle of Tweed
Body Shop White musk
My all time favourite (long discontinued, but I've found a bottle available on Onbuy and am considering it) Aramis 'Havana Pour Elle'
Re Gucci Rush, I bought a bottle within the last couple of years.
I am old 😩

Ysatis by Givenchy. I loved it.

Oh god yes. I thought I was the height of sophistication

Teen in the 80s

My mum wore Quleques Fleur (sp?) and I loved wearing it.

White musk
Anais Anais
Lou Lou
Sunflowers
Paloma Picasso- loved the bottle
Ysatis

Bought Jean Paul Gaultier but wore it when I was first pregnant and didn't know and it made me sick - I was gutted.

Wore Angel all the while I was pregnant and my kids were little. It wooshes me straight back ❤️
