OMG. I think my first perfume was Vanilla Fields. I was so in love with it! I don't even know if they make it anymore. I also used Sunflowers, Navy by Cover Girl and there was a Love's scent that I liked that I think came in a set with the Baby Soft. I think it was Lemon b/c I remember it was yellow.
I feel SO old now..... LOL!!!!

I was at the outlet mall and they had some on clearance. I didn't buy it, but I sprayed some on me.. and then I regretted not buying it for the rest of the day.

Scent memory is a weird thing.



You are SO right!! I forgot I used to LOVE that one too. I never thought to check on Ebay. Thanks for the idea!!

I don't shop for perfume like I used to. I like to get samples from Sephora and use them. I get bored easily. lol
Most of the ones I used to wear make me nauseous. After my second child my nose is wonky.

Hahahah oh yeah, at my highschool all the girls were wearing Gap Heaven. I distinctly remember the smell of Grass and hating it, but Heaven was actually ok.



Oh and not sure if this has been mentioned, but back in the 90s, all those Body Shop perfumes were popular too. Anyone remember Fuzzy Peach?

OMG I do remember this one!! I use to have it when I was like... 13 or 14, I remember I had the spray bottle one and the perfume oil as well.

I made a trip in England back then and I remember sooo well that all the girls in the bus wore White Musk, I kinda like this one at the time but I've became sick of the smell after some time.

Holy crap, this is EXACTLY what I was going to say!

The body fantasies cotton candy - - haha, didn't remember that it was by "body fantasies", though. I just remember cotton candy scent & getting it at Target when I was about 11 or 12.
(also, I remember it actually smelled like cotton candy when I first started wearing it. A year into to wearin the spray, didn't smell like it too much anymore. The lotion, did though. =P And it came in a water spray-type of bottle. awwwwe )

haha

Then I moved on to Tommy Girl when I was 13 ... but was done with it at about 15.



Ah, memories <3

Haha I had that Electric Youth perfume by Debbie Gibson when I was seven. My babysitter (who grew up in the 80s) gave me her bottle. It was really cool. I think it was sorta shaped like a microphone and had this hot pink/orange coil in it.

The first fragrance I used when I was a little girl was my moms White Shoulders. Later I would use my sisters Cool Water perfume when she wasn't looking. The first fragrance I purchased was when I was 9-10 was Mary Kate and Ashley from Walmart

The first real fragrance I used was Chanel Chance when I was 17. I asked for it for Christmas. Now at 21 I only use BBW cherry blossom body splash because of my allergies. Oh and I can't wear strong scents at work.

When I was 13, a boy at my church was kidnapped by his sister to go to the mall. She had a craving for make up and perfumes, even though she herself didn't have money for it. As a result, she made him buy little Valentine's Day gift sets for the 5-6 other young girls at my church at that time! It was adorb. Anyway, it was Clinique and the sample bottle for Happy back then was this amazing little smoky glass vial with this golden liquid inside.

I thought it was like sunshine in a bottle.

I still wear Happy, but the new packaging makes me sad. I might check out Aroma Elixer just because it reminds me of the old Happy.

J.LO's Glow perfume.

To this day, it stills remains my favourite. I don't know why but there is something about that fragrance that encompasses what I like when it comes to scents. Not to mention, it was what I was wearing when I first met my BF and he happens to love it. :]
