What cheap 90s perfume am I thinking of?

Just had a memory triggered of a perfume I used to wear as a teenager and can't remember the name of it!

It wasn't an expensive bottle you'd buy at the perfume counter, it was something that was on the shelves in Boots next to the cans of Impulse and Charlie, but I felt grown up buying something that was in a proper bottle.

The bottle was like a twisted cuboid shape. I think the colour scheme was greeny/turquoise and purple - I think the bottle was a darker colour like dark purple and the lid was an iridescent greeny-turquoise.

Does this ring bells with anyone?

Tribe?

Oh my god yes! I wasn't that far off with the description. Oh major nostalgia just seeing the bottle again, I would love to smell it!

Tribe! I loved it so much.

You can now buy dupes of it! (I haven’t, I’ve just read - I sprayed enough for two lifetimes).

I'm not entirely sure if I remember this commercial but the 90s vibe, yes!

Waistcoats and slouchy hats - I used to dress like this and think I looked like one of the girls from this advert but I basically looked like Blossom.
