Ask a Question

With the return of iconic 90s scents like Tommy Girl and CK1 flying off the shelves, it’s got us thinking—what fragrances take you on a trip down memory lane?

Did you have a go-to scent back in the day?

One I used all the time in the 90's was Kouros, it was quite expensive, I use to get it from duty free, from memory it smelt really nice, I haven't used it in years

martinlufc5637 OMG I used to love the smell of Kouros. It has bitter sweet memories for me now as my friend who used to wear it is no longer with us 💔 😔

My personal scent back in the day was Giorgio Red.

I do like the Giorgio Armaini Si apart from its price 🥴

I've just purchased a bottle of Issey miyake eau d issey. It reminds me of a holiday.

Karl Lagerfeld Sun moon stars. I loved it when younger. sadly it was discontinued some time ago. Later I moved onto Elizabeth Arden sunflowers. I still wear that in Summer sometimes now, it reminds me of a particular Summer in my youth that I think back on fondly. My absolute favourite was The body shop Ananya perfume, never found anything similar.

I love perfume so I have a few haha, I loved Body Shop, White Musk, Ananya and Dewberry, also Exclamation was a definite favourite and recently bought myself some, it takes me right back! Lou Lou, Tribe, Smitty, Monsoon, Avon Far and Away or Rare Gold, then my going out perfume was always Guerlain Samsara, I wore that for years! I was also a bit partial to some mens smells too, Lynx Oriental, Paco Rabanne and Jazz during my early teens... those were the days eh

My absolute favourite perfume was Gloria by Cacharel , I adored this perfume & got soooo many compliments...

Gloria was discontinued years ago but I still have my half bottle after my partner finding some online, thanks to the Dr's lovely late wife Angie who I used to clean for , she researched & told me where to buy it.

Angie became a good friend, unfortunately passed in 2017, I still have my memories of her & this gorgeous perfume she helped my partner find again..

Angie Vennalls RIP..❤️
