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.

Versace red jeans u know the one that came in the tin. Was very fashionable lol.

Other ones I wore back then were:

Eden
Lou Lou
Anna Sui - Sui dreams
Ralph by Ralph Lauren - I don't have any but I wld still wear this.
Xs Elle
Joop - all about Eve

Someone mentioned Jean Paul gaultier classique I still wear it sometimes. Also Angel I still wear that my fav. I also wear Alien not sure if that was out as far back as 00's maybe just creeps in.

I had a boyfriend that wore Versace Blue Jeans religiously (likewise very popular at the time!) and still love it now. Heady days

People don't even remember it now, they just think you're talking about Black XS Sad

I loved XS pour elle too ... pale grey and yellow branding ... I bet one whiff of that would whisk me straight back to my raving days!

@WellWhaddayaKnow I forgot about Charlie Grin

I think I asked for it for my 15th birthday, along with a charm bracelet and a gold sovereign ring 🍸💁🏻‍♀️😂😂😂

Eternity would knock anyone within 50 yards of you out cold😀.

Chanel 5
Giorgio
Eternity
Obsession
Youth Dew
The one in the bottle shaped like a body(?).
Allure
White Linen.
White Musk in the 70s.

I still wear Loulou. Quite cheap. And strong, unlike most perfumes now.

Is the body-shaped one Gaultier? I had a friend who wore it, pink bottle

WellWhaddayaKnow · 21/02/2024 15:59

Cerrutti 1881

I wore this in the 90s! Also weirdly Dior j’adore in 6th form (such a middle age scent!), and CK one will always remind me of driving up and down the motorway to raves in the 90s. Gucci rush is space Ibiza. I love how smell takes you straight back there.

also when I was a young teen, body shop dewberry and white musk.

zekezeke I also used to wear Giorgio Beverley hills. Your post has just reminded me! Another middle age scent for a 17 year old girl, ha

LoobyDop · 21/02/2024 16:14

Used to drown myself in Obsession when I was about 18- I thought it was so sophisticated. Then had a CK One phase, then L’eau d’Issey. Can’t bear any of them now. I also used to love Fidji and one by Giorgio Beverley Hills that I think was called Ocean Drive. Haven’t smelled those two for years, so haven’t had the chance to go off them as much.

Itsallsostressful · 21/02/2024 16:17

White Linen....Still love it now 😍
Rive Gauche....Really feel like going and trying it again thinking about it now ☺️

Gruffalowe · 21/02/2024 16:19

As a schoolgirl, it was Charlie Red, Ck One
Tommy Girl and perfume oil from The Body Shop. My mum had loads of the oils, I used to ‘borrow’ them daily.

The Impulse body sprays were a firm favourite too - I liked the Spice Girls one and one (I think) called I.D

I graduated to Burberry Weekend and Cerruti 1881 in the 00s

anyoneanyoneanyone · 21/02/2024 16:19

dewberry lol

OooScotland · 21/02/2024 16:49

Poison. And then the short lived ‘fresh’ version, Tendre Poison, which I much preferred. Guerlain Mitsouko and Fracas by Robert Piguet.

I still wear Fracas, but its hard to find now, its a shadow of its former self, and there’s no bath range 🙁

NoSnowdrop · 21/02/2024 16:53

Dune
White Linen
Loulou
Tommy girl
… and one in a square glass bottle with a bow maybe Miss Dior not sure.

loobylou10 · 21/02/2024 17:01

Georgio - I remember the first time I smelled it in a department store in Sheffield when I went to visit my now DH at uni. Thought I was the bees knees because no one in my small town had it!

Body shop - dewbury - didn't everyone have that!!

Anais anais - as above!!

Estée Lauder - beautiful. Wore that on my wedding day.

Edited

I’m fairly certain there is a scene in a Jilly Cooper novel where a character douses her “bush” in fracas. But could be wrong 😂

I even had a little atomiser with CKone in it at school. That was the perfume of my secondary school. Mixed with whatever Impulse body spray was popular

ChishiyaBat · 21/02/2024 17:42

TheLastTimeEver · 21/02/2024 14:52

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

Thank you so much. I still wear angel and a matching hairspray would be awesome!
