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.

Gucci Rush ... it's smell transports me back to happy times.

My late father always bought me Estée Lauder Beautiful. That scent always makes me smile

ageingdisgracefully · 21/02/2024 13:45

I loved Boudoir. Another one that's been discontinued, I think?

Just putting Rive Gauche on the list. Not me, my flatmate. Strong AF.

UnashamedLabelHo · 21/02/2024 13:45

Escada by Margaretha Ley.

discontinued though.

Everyone around me wore Angel and L’eau d’Issey mostly. And a bit of that pink and green Nina Ricci one whose name I can’t remember.

fgscat · 21/02/2024 13:51

Acqua di Gio

Several of us did in our uni house 1997. We used to pronounce it all as one word as a joke with the di Gi bit like in digital clock

"Can I borrow a squirt of aquadigio please?"

Verv · 21/02/2024 13:51

Ralph Lauren Safari for Men.

Ive never worn women's perfumes as they're all too sweet for my tastes.

AntonFeckoff · 21/02/2024 13:52

So..?
Kangol body spray
Body Shop mix your own (I loved that)
Those pulse point things

WellWhaddayaKnow · 21/02/2024 13:54

Charlie (😄), CK1, D&G Feminine, DKNY Woman, Montana, Clinique Happy, and one from B Beautiful (the makeup shop) that smelled like fairgrounds

Also a Paul Smith one that was a gift and really nice but can’t remember the name – feel like it was a bit of a forerunner for Coco Mademoiselle scent-wise

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/02/2024 13:57

JLo Glow, XClamation for everyday (probably a few years apart, the latter when I was a teen)

Organza and Agent Provacateur in the evening.

DonnasShrugaleros · 21/02/2024 14:05

Can I add Ralph Lauren Romance?

I loved those Gap ones, and also Gucci Envy and Stella. So sad they're discontinued

platinumplus · 21/02/2024 14:06

Another couple I've just remembered are Anna Sui Classic and Vivienne Westwood Boudoir. I clearly used to use waaay more perfume than I do nowadays.
