1990s body spray

It’s driving me mad but does anyone remember a 1990s body spray in either the Boots Natural Collection or 17 collection called something like Aphrodite? If so, does anyone know what a dupe would be? I had a really strong flashback to a very happy summer holiday with family memory and would love to get something similar to use as a pick me up

I remember buying an impulse spray called Goddess in a gold can, which might smell similar if they still make it?
Probably not helpful!

uncomfortablydumb60 · 08/06/2025 01:10

Just googled( insomniac!) and impulse tease has replaced Goddess

I’ll have a look and try that one thanks. It’s annoying me that I can’t remember the name but I do remember it being a Boots own brand one and I think it was in a bottle rather than a can. It’s only so I can spray it every now and then and reminisce about teenage years 🤣

Aww scents take us right back don't they?
I hope you find something similar
The So? Ones are popular

Just a thought Try looking for Body mists. They're bottles and boots still do them

tgifginplease · 08/06/2025 10:53

Thank you - I’ll have a look at body mists as well as think it was probably one of those rather than a spray. I’m hoping that someone who worked in Boots can remember. I’m thinking circa 1995-1997 as have a very specific memory about using it on a family holiday at that time!

Although the names would have changed, you'll have to go in and sniff them all😆

I still miss the Spice girls impulse spray that was good 😊

Tupperwarefan · 08/06/2025 16:30

OMG OP that takes me back! That was my very first body spray and from what I remember it was in a plastic pump action bottle. I absolutely loved it and would love to find it again!

tgifginplease · 08/06/2025 22:12

Do you remember it being called Aphrodite too? I can’t find any reference to it anywhere online so was starting to think I’d dreamt it! Would just love to know what a similar one is so that could buy a more adult version!

I can remember the Aphrodite spray! And the plastic bottle. I can sort of imagine the smell in my head but I can’t describe it enough to be able to dupe it.

Daisydiary · 08/06/2025 22:35

Not helpful but I loved impulse O2 in the lime green can.

WaneyEdge · 08/06/2025 22:38

Boots had one called ‘Siren’, could it be that?

Morepaniclessdisco · 08/06/2025 22:40

Saw impulse on offer in a shop today was ended up sending a message to my teenage best friend and we've been reminiscing about them today. I started with Impulse Vanilla kisses but ultimate favourite was Air. She told me you can get O2 and Air in Morrisons if like me, anyone fancies a throwback. Hope you find your dupe Op.

DrFoxtrot · 08/06/2025 22:43

I was going to mention Siren, I think it might have been part of the same range.

I remember Boots Aphrodite spray , I loved it!

tgifginplease · 08/06/2025 23:56

Thanks everyone! Glad I’m not the only one who remembered and loved it. Think Siren was part of same range as @DrFoxtrot has said but not the same as Aphrodite. Funny how scents can be so linked to specific memories!
