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.

Oh yes and how can I forget! Hypnotic Poison.

Elphame · 21/02/2024 17:59

The same as I do now - First by Van Cleef and Arpels.

I've never found one I like as much and live in dread of them discontinuing it completely.

TheSameClip · 21/02/2024 18:13

Early 90s - Dior Poison was my signature
Late 90s/early 00s - it was D&G Feminine

In between I also wore:
Coco Chanel
Gianfranco Ferre
Moschino
Very Valentino
Paco Rabanne XS Pour Elle
CK One
Tommy Girl

Roma by Laura Biagiotti. One of the few scents that my weird skin doesn’t change to something horrible.

Was that the £1.99 rip off of Ysatis from down the market 😂

Rive Gauche. Still takes me back!

CentrifugalBumblePuppy · 21/02/2024 18:44

My late teens & early 20s in the 90s was a fog of;
Anaïs Anaïs (still reminds me of my first proper boyfriend lol),
Body Shop White Musk
Lou Lou (gives me a banging headache now).

Meeting DH in the dying hours of 1994, 1995 brought gifts of Sun, Moon, Stars and probably my absolute favourite (now extinct) Coty’s Monsoon.

I LOVED that perfume and searched eBay for it for a while! So many memories....

ginandoreos · 21/02/2024 19:44

Oh and a version of CK One that they sold in Woolworths, I think it was called spirit or something!!

carnotbelieveit · 21/02/2024 19:44

Off the top of my head:

Clinique Happy
Ralph Lauren Romance
D&G Light Blue (still wear it)
Lacoste Touch of Pink
Lacoste pour Femme
DKNY
CK Truth
