You are so right, about bringing back years, first perfume Pretty peach by Avon :O)
1970' s things like Charlie, tweed, gingham anyone remember the Faberge prefumes
1980's grown up perfume Rive Gauche, L'air du temps.
1980's Channel 5 or Coco,
1990's Aromatics
2007 still aromatics but also Armani White Diamonds and Burberry.

Just a smell of any of these takes you back in time :O)

As I said at the top of my thread, I put my perfume on when I get dressed, when we are staying in hotels I never put it on till after breakfast, I would hate to ruin someones meal

Used to wear Coty L'Aimant, but the OH bought me a bottle of Very Irresistable by Givenchy, which I now like.

All the ones mentioned Apple Blossom, Tweed. I wore.

And yes I hated Poison and Lou Lou.

Had a girl work with me who wore Poison, and she bathed in it I think, I hated sitting with her in the Canteen, it put me off my dinner, and gave me the snuffles.

Interesting thread Dee
Like music ,I think perfume does bring back many memories........now I love wearing Coco, Cerruti or Oscar De La Renta.
But remembering times gone by... in the Fifties it was Black Rose by Goya & Blue Grass,
...Sixties. was ..Apple Blossom,Tweed and L'Air du Temps
Charlie and Obsession were popular in the Seventies

Ones I hated were Poison and Lou Lou

OH has just finished one of my many old hand creams, this one was Yardleys L'aiment, I told him it was at least 38 years old lol

CK1 for everyday wear.

Flower by Kenzo for evenings.

Prefer a light perfume, don't like heavy musky ones at all.

I have used two for well over 35 years! Chanel No.5 and Estee by Estee Lauder. Her famous Youth Dew smelt like mildew on me - was given a large bottle one Christmas and dau. friend was delighted when she received it!

AM and PM - cannot recall the sixties icon (first of the celebrity perfumes) - given by my boss at the time who had worked for Gala - all I did was sneeze the two days I tried them - he could not stand it - neither could I!

As a teenager 4711 and later Coty's or was it Yardleys L'aiment

Youth Dew by Estee Lauder

Looking at all these designer perfumes we know have, haven't time changed.
In my teens most talcs and soaps where by Yardley..........and we all wore Charlie and Gingham, felt really grown up when I was bought things like Nicca Ricca and Yves st Laurent Rive Gauche. for Christmas :O)

What other prerumes do you remember from your teens ?

Pleasures by estee lauder or noa by cacharel but I adore white musk by the body shop.

Channel no 5
soft musk

My favourite one of all time is Spring Rain by Crabtree and Evelyn. Got discontinued a few years ago but my parents found some in an outlet centre a couple of months ago so now have four bottles of it! The other perfume I can't get enough of is Chanel No 5.

Gingham,
Chantilly Lace
Youth Dew
Channel No5
Tweed
Musk
Poison and manymore

We bottled hundreds of different sorts. I didn't wear perfume for many years as I couldn't stand the smell.

I have just been given the new one by christine aguilera, I love the smell of that, I also love Angel, it reminds me of my mate that died, she always wore it..

My pet hate was heavy perfumes when we made them, Youth Dew was the worst as was Poison, in fact I never did like any of the perfumes we bottled, everything was way over the top so you couldn't really get a delicate smell of any of them, I always smelled so much of anything we had been bottled that day.
