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.

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.

I remember people wearing the Nina Ricci one . I thought it smelt like tomatoes.

Ralph Lauren Safari for Men.

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

RL Safari!! I bloody loved this too!

My pals and I were well into Benetton in early high school. All wearing Benetton sweatshirts like a uniform, and spritzing ourselves with one of these two bad boys. I had “Hot”, obvs.

Exclamation
Body Shop Dewberry

And not a perfume but the Impulse body sprays - my favourites were True Love and Tease

DarkAcademia · 21/02/2024 14:39

White Musk, Monsoon had a lovely one in a very pretty bottle, and CK One when I had a super creepy boyfriend who bought it for me because his ex loved it (I was too young and insecure to tell him to get in the sea).

OH also Impulse Nirvana and Impulse O2, which still makes me super nostalgic.

I can't remember what I wore in the 2000's though. I went through a Penhaligon's phase. OH - Burberry Brit!! Best smell EVER.

What is this hair spray you speak of?

I think it’s anything in the Lee Stafford AntiHumidity range 😀

If we’re talking body sprays, Impulse Goddess was absolutely beautiful, think it was out in around 2005, I distinctly remember one summer I was obsessed with it and Fruit Allsorts which are also discontinued ☹️

Bodyshop "Fuzzy Peach." (So much so that, one day two women walked past me, one said to the other, "What's that smell?" The other replied, "Someone must have drunk too much Archer's and Lemonade and then thrown up."
Lovely!
Also, CK Eternity, but the men's version.

DramaAlpaca · 21/02/2024 15:29

Depending on my mood, Anais Anais, Rive Gauche and Ysatis.

I nostalgically bought a small bottle of Rive Gauche recently and sadly it doesn't smell the same.

PricklyBob · 21/02/2024 15:32

I was 12 in 1990 so it was all about Dewberry, then Exclamation before moving on to Charlie Red and White and Tommy Girl. Ysatis was my fancy perfume and I coveted Champagne (later renamed to Yvresse).

Then CK One came along and changed my world 😂

Into the 2000s, I went from CK One to Clinique Happy and Flower by Kenzo.

Haha! White Musk (Body Shop obvs) was my ‘signature scent’ when I was 11 in the mid 90s 😁
