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 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

I haven’t read the full thread @listsandbudgets so someone might have already mentioned.

Penhaligons do a refillable travel atomiser for £25, if you are close enough to buy it from a shop they will fill it for you and then you get 5 free refills within 2 months.

So if you’re close enough you get 30ml of fragrance and the atomiser for the £25, but even if you never go back for a refill you still get 5ml of scent and the atomiser for the £25.

I’ve got Luna in mine at the moment and it’s so lovely.

My brother bought me Lou Lou for my 14th birthday and I wore that until they launched Eden
White Musk and Ananya from TBS
Capitivation from Impulse
Chanel 19 which my friend's parents brought me back from France when I was 17/18 I think

Emdubz · 25/03/2023 19:12

Also just had a flashback to Coty’s Smitty which I also wore 😁

Body shop white musk, and tea rose in the tiny bottle, blasé, Charlie blue, Avon reve voile, moonwind, elegance. Fresco impulse and sure spray deodorant. Tribe used to make me queasy when half the class were wearing it, it was a ridiculously weirdly sweet and overwhelming

I'd forgotten about Tea Rose until I read this! I loved that too.

I'm old so,
Coty l'aimant and then
Sortilège by Le Galion which has just been reintroduced.
Bit later, Fidji by Guy Laroche

I still wear Fidji now and then 😊

BeretRaspberry · 25/03/2023 19:19

I’ve just remembered this too! I think it smelt of nanas.😂 Love this thread!

Am anyone remember a Miss Selfridge one? I think something like Happy. I loved it and would love to find something similar now

Saschka · 25/03/2023 19:23

CK One. Everyone wore it, all the time. Then moved on to some kind of Diesel perfume. Googling, looks like it was probably Diesel Zero Plus.

Then Clarins Eau de Jardin, followed by Nina Ricci Nina. Now Aqua dI Palma Fico di Amalfi. I obviously have a fragrance type!

NecklessMumster · 25/03/2023 19:25

Also one called Loves Lemon which was just lemon but I really liked it. A perfume called 'Babe' ? Gingham, Opium for my 18th. This is making me want to find a new perfume to love.

Crabwoman · 25/03/2023 19:37

Tribe
New West
Les Belles de Ricci
Impulse o2

All discontinued 😪

I remember all three!

I still buy Fidji and sometimes come across the L'aimant body spray and buy that.

Also Magie Noire (Lancome)
O de Lancome
Miss Dior - the proper grown up version not the silly little girl too sweet version
Avon Occur - How I wish they did decent perfume now!
Prince Matchebelli - Cachet
Worth - Je Reviens
Balmain - Miss Balmain
Ivoire
Vent Vert - Miss that one!
Body Shop -White Musk (still like it)
Body Shop Dewberry - Yuck! Would hate it now!
Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass
The Clarins red bottle one
Rumba
Tocade
Dioressence
Diorissimo

The Max Factor Green Apple one!

I think you and I have discussed perfume before... I love everything on your list...one of my best eBay finds was a full and sealed bottle of vintage Vent Vert. The seller included, free of charge, one of the tiny cuboid bottles of Vent Vert eau de parfum and one of Fracas and Bandit.

So1invictus · 25/03/2023 20:19

I had the tea rose oil, which I carried in the pocket of my gorgeous moss green full length fabric Mac, with shoulder pads! It had a Cointreau stain on the lapel which I never could tell my mum I got from going to a friend's house at lunch in six form and raiding her parents drinks cabinet. Ah happy days of the end of eighties/early nineties
