I'm trying to evoke some nostalgia by trying some forgotten fragrances.

For me it was Sun Moon Stars, CK Obsession, Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and Gucci Rush.

Hugo Boss Deep Red.

I still wear it now!

TheLastTimeEver · 21/02/2024 09:13

Another Samsara one here!! Such a hefty perfume for an 18 year old lol.

I can remember what one each of my friends wore too. So funny.

There is an anti frizz hair spray that smells just like Angel by Thierry Mugler. Takes me back each time I use it.

JaneIves · 21/02/2024 09:13

90s - Eden, cool water, Tresor, JPG

00s Ghost, Gucci envy, Dior (can't remember which it was a dark purple/black bottle) Thierry Mugler Angel

SisterAgatha · 21/02/2024 09:13

Ultraviolet for me too.

my first ever perfume was Les Belles de Ricci and it was perfection. I’d wear that now if it existed.

platinumplus · 21/02/2024 09:14

MadelineWuntch · 21/02/2024 08:58

CanIbeRio · 21/02/2024 09:15

Yes @headcheffer ! Loulou....that's the one! Lovely scent. We all wafted about under a giant cloud of Loulou back kn the 80s!! All my friends had a bottle 😄

DSD9472 · 21/02/2024 09:00

Giorgio Beverly Hills- my boyfriends mum wore it, and I thought it was the height of sophistication! 😆

My mum had this too. I did like it to be fair!

Headcheffer I love Dolce Vita too! Think it’s discontinued now sadly.
I still wear YSL Cinema it’s gorgeous.

In the 90s:

Eden, Issy, Burberry Woman, Classique

ErnestClementine · 21/02/2024 09:17

A Hugo Boss one in a red box (90s)
Clinique Happy (2000s)

Want to buy them for a trip down memory lane.

CanIbeRio · 21/02/2024 09:18

Oops....this thread is about 90s/00s.....im waffling on about the 80s! ....but all also worn in the 90s, so I think I'm ok to post!!!

I tend to struggle with fragrances being too floral or sweet. I wear Jo Malone ‘wood sage and sea salt’ and ‘Neroli Portofino’ by Tom Ford but I prefer it when both of them have faded down a bit on me.

platinumplus · 21/02/2024 09:19

Ooh just remembered another 00s one - Dior Addict

OP posts:
ShamalaPamela · 21/02/2024 09:20

I've just remembered another, Clinique Wrappings... I've gone down a rabbit hole over here 😂

Fraaahnces · 21/02/2024 09:20

Gucci Envy & Rush, Trussardi Skin (still mourning its loss), B. Intense by Balenciaga.

richardhoymanwantshisknickersback · 21/02/2024 09:20

Shocked that nobody's said Exclamation yet. The exclamation shaped bottle, always loved it! Can still remember the scent now. That along with Lou Lou Blue and Versace Baby Rose Jeans. That was the best "Versace jeans" scent- no contest.
