Do you remember your first scent?

Thread Starter 
Has your fragrance preference remained or has it changed drastically since then? Do you still revisit it, or does it repulse you now?

Mine were both Cacharel (it was the 80's!) - Anais anais and Loulou. Anais makes me gag now.... Loulou am not so sure - haven't had a whiff of it so I can barely remember, although I'd guess it'd be too sweet for me now.

I now love Michael, Hypnotic Poison, La Chasse, Angel(Lily)...and I realise I pretty much have chosen orientals and tropical white florals most of my life...I have strayed in different degrees, once being into Issey Miyake and the whole clean fresh movement...but the heady scent of jasmine and ylang ylang always lures me back!

HAHAH anis anis was one of my first and I think it smells like old ladiies now!! Also Beautiful was one of my firsts and I cant stand it on me, but my best friend wears it and it smells good on her!

I have a good chemistry so I can pretty much wear anything and it willl smell good on me, I remember when I was younger and my dad loved the scent poison on me. I couldnt take it then, and still hate it now!

Now im more into sweeter smelling scents, like Tommy Bahama, Michael Kors, Pink Sugar, Escada Island kiss or whatever the name is, YSL BAbydoll, Cacharel noa fleur, Gucci II, Gucci Envy Me, Curious, and the list goes on and on and on..

My first perfume was Cacharel Anais Anais and at the time I loved it now I can't stand it.

Now I love Angel, Chanel Chance, Dior Addict and MAC Turquatic.

ops: I was a total 80's girl, and Exclamation was my favorite perfume. I can't stand it now, but I guess I still favor the sweet scents. My favorite is Pink Sugar, and I also love YSL Babydoll, Dessert Taste, any sweet Demeter fragrances, oh, and one that doesn't fit into the sweet group - I love Prada's new fragrance. Mmm, amber and patchouli. It is just such a classic scent.

I'm another Love's Baby Soft... got one right now on sitting next to my 25 others in rotation. I like to keep it around b/c it reminds me of simpler times when my biggest worry was learning how to shave my legs! ; )

LouLou was the first one I ever bought for myself I found a mini bottle of it the other day under my bathroom sink and it still smelled good (guess because it's pretty cool & dark under there lol!) Other scents out of my past include Sunflowers, Givenchy's Amarige, Tuscany Per Donna, some of the Liz Claiborne that was in the triangle bottle...too many lol!

Now I like MAC MV2, Burberry Brit, Pink Sugar, Pilar & Lucy Exact Friction of Stars, Serendipitous, lots of CSPs...still too many to list I guess. I never realized what a fragrance ho I am

I did the CK One thing in middle school, advanced to Abercrombie (just because it was the scent to have--it was soooo not "me") in high school, and I finally settled on Chanel Chance. My whole family wears Chanel--my mom is obsessed with No. 19, my dad does the Allure for men, and Chance I feel was MADE for me!

Oh, I remember that one! Didn't they have a lemon version also? My first scent was "Oh de London". I still remember those great Yardley ads. I'm really aging myself. (You should see the Oh de London prices on ebay.

Add another one who's aging herself! I wore Love's Baby Soft and something called Trouble. I was a big fan of those classic scents from the '80s, like Verve and Ciara. I was also known to wear Electric Youth often

I started out wearing Tea Rose (I thought It smelled so wonderful, now It makes me ill), then I moved on to Anais anais like everyone else I was hanging out with. Finally in HS I got stuck on ETERNITY by Calvin Klein. I wore that for years, I still like the smell and wear it every once in a while. Now I wear either Very Irresistible by Givenchy or Jadore by Christian Dior.

Haha, ME TOO! Oh, how that black and white bottle brings back fond memories of camp, boyfriends, skinny dipping... I also had "Tribe" - Coty perfumes were so popular then - remember "Navy"? I also remember liking my mom's Shalimar perfume (by Guerlain), which I'd occasionally borrow.

Now, I like Dior Addict and I'm lemming for Philosophy's "Falling in Love"...
