I love these types of videos. I rewatch all of them. my twin sister and I wore exclamation and Malibu musk. Eternity in middle school. True Love, Baby soft, Charlie White, Coolwater, Tribu, Alyssa Ashley, Body Shop Musk. my older sister had pheromone breeze. I was very fortunate to have a stable happy childhood & my parents have been married for 50 years. my Mom's collection was extensive but I remember her Gucci 3 bottle vividly. my Dad used the Jovan White Musk for men. Fire & Ice totally reminds me of my bff growing up😊. I loved Outrageous shampoo. I rotated through so many fragrances in my early 20s like Light Blue, Origins Ginger, DKNY Women, Alfrad Sung Shi and Pure, CK Truth, Herrera 212 in the pill bottle, J Lo Glow. I think the only true signature that stuck around was Body Shop's White Musk...I have always reworn that fragrance over and over and never got sick of it Thank you again for these memories Sarah
I had totally forgotten about those Pheromone perfumes and I just saw an ad for one the other day. The one I am thinking of was called Realm and I remember everyone thought it was going to bring them their soul mate. 😂❤️
Aspen women and Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers for sure were my early signatures😍 I was all over fresh aquatic perfumes too 🌊 in my late teens. When I was 19 I wore Oblique Fast Forward and I was obsessed with the smell. I could never pull it off now. I wore Coolwater and Origins Ginger a lot. I also loved CH 212, Alfred Sung Shi, Ghost, Amarige, L'eau d'Issey, Cucumber melon, Deep Red, Boss woman, Pear Glace lotion and a lot of victoria secret stuff, Paris Hilton, Satsuma, Curious, Fantasy, MK Michael, Moon Sparkle, So Pink, Versace woman, Euphoria, Hypnose. So many beautiful scents of the past😭
Yes! My mom had every single one of the Alfred Sung fragrances in the early 00's and I remember them being so good. So Pink from the Gap was amazing too. It was so fresh and fruity. ❤️
I need to get my nose on Tabu again. I am not sure if you can still get all of those fragrances in Australia but we can still get all of them here. They have all been reformulated and watered down though. 😭❤️
I too wore the Exclamation, Malibu Musk and Electric Youth in elementary school. I'm blanking on what I wore in jr. high school daily but I know I wore Beautiful to the school dances. It was an old bottle my mom didn't want anymore. I wore Pleasures, CK One, Happy, Safari and various B&BW and VS lotion and body mists (Apple, Vanilla, Pearberry, Cucumber Melon and Satsuma) in high school. I also had some Abercrombie & Fitch and GAP perfumes. Then Polo Sport Woman, Tommy Girl, Pleasures, Glow, Curious, NOA and Romance in college and as a young adult. Love Spell, I liked that lotion and body mist in college. I had VS Heavenly, Divine and Love Spell as well. I'm sure I had more but those come to mind. Later, I had Daisy, Daisy Eau Fraiche, Light Blue and Walk On Air and many CLEAN and Philosophy perfumes.
We have a very similar fragrance history! I totally forgot about the Gap scents that I wore as well which were Om and Grass. I was the weirdo who wouldn't wear Heaven or Dream because everyone else did. 😂❤️
I really enjoyed this video and loved hearing the stories behind your perfume journey. Several scents you named have been pivotal in my life as well. I remember loving Tommy Girl in the early 00's. There's a huge bottle from maybe 2001 or so on my Mom's dresser that's 30% full. Still smells great. It is indeed timeless. I purchased Philosophy Falling in Love for my Mom in the early 2010's and she kept the bottle for years and I'd sneak and smell it. Such a wonderful creamy Blackberry scent. I also wanted to say that Jessica Simpson's Fancy Love in the white bottle is almost a dupe for the original Burberry. I've had both perfumes in my collection and Fancy Love was my signature in 2009. I know you love the original sweet Fancy in the pink and thought I'd mention this. Hope maybe you test it one day. Fragantica's description says the same thing. I remember thinking wait a minute when smelling the two side by side. Not identical but similar. I would also love to hear what BBW and VS scents you wore as well!!!
I will definitely have to talk about the B&BW and VS scents I wore! There were a lot of them. Back then B&BW didn't have as many scents and they released them much slower so I remember picking them up as they released. ❤️
My first was exclamation, and united colors of Benneton colors was the best. I still had a bottle in 2014 and lost it to a house fire. I was so sad. I have so many amazing memories with that perfume. So many of my faves
Omg we share so many signatures ❤ my landmark obsessions over the years started with Impulse Fresco and Body Shop Vanilla, and went on to love Coty Wild Musk, Monsoon Monsoon, Chloe Innocence, CK Be, Cool Water, Paco by Paco Rabanne, Hot Couture, Hypnotic Poison, Light Blue and JPG Classique 😊 I kind of miss the days of having just a handful of perfumes, like just a few really special ones. I miss that almost magical obsession I had over fragrance when I was in my teens/early 20s. I love my modest collection of course, but I do fantasise about downsizing to 5 or so bottles. I think that ship sailed long ago though 😂
I started off at the age of 8 or 9 with Loves Baby Soft, then moved on to Avon Sweet Honesty. In high school, it was Bonnie Bell musk and Jovan musk. In college, it was Anais Anais. Now, there is no way I can stick to just one perfume. 😂.
@carrietome4486 I used to love Loves Baby Soft! I had forgotten about it! Loved that stuff. We definitely have the same tastes! Did you like Yardley Eau de London! That was my all time favorite!🙂
@@melmerk12 I don’t ever recall that being sold in Hawaii but I do remember other Yardley scents like English lavender and lily of the valley, both of which I loved! Do they still sell Eau de London? I might try it if they do. 😊
This was such a fun video! I remember Exclamation❗️It was a powerhouse scent. When that was popular, I was also wearing Aviance Night Musk, it was so good! Ralph Lauren Safari, was a favorite, and a few years ago , I purchased a vintage bottle, and it was so off, so I can relate to not wanting to buy vintage bottles. ❤💜😘
I loved Tribu as a kid too, I still wear it. It's a classic. I totally remember Electric Youth that is nuts. I wore Exclamation and Love's Babysoft. I was wearing Liberty Fizz by Nina Ricci too. I took a long break from perfume in highschool and then my love for it came back in college. I was wearing everything from the Gap body sprays, Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton perfumes, Sparkling Peach by B&BW, Style from RL, Body and Heavenly from Victoria Secret, The Body Shop Dewberry Satsuma and Musk, Pleasures from E Lauder, and the Hollister perfume that was popular. My Mom wore Charlie!. Wonderful memories!
This was so interesting, loved it. I never had perfumes as a kid, but I loved perfumes since my teenage years. We couldn’t afford perfumes, so I used to wear body sprays back then. I loved Charlie White too. And then in my 20’s I wore DKNY Be Delicious and Davidoff Cool Water. I only discovered Stella in 2011 when I moved to London, and then that’s when I truly fell for perfumes. I never managed to pick up a bottle of it which I regret to this day.
I wore the heck out of Charlie from 18 years old to 20 ish Everybody knew when I was there or had recently left . I saw it in Walgreens about 2 years ago and purchased it returned it the next day 🤣 if I see it again I might pick it up ONLY because it cost like 5 dollars and reminds me of some great times.I’m 43 now I really thought I had it going on back then 😂😂😂
The Liz Claiborne scents were so good back then! I haven't smelled any of the reformulations but I would love to get my nose on them. The one in the triangle bottle was amazing. ❤️
Thanks, Sarah. I heard you mention Isabella Rossellini which reminded me that I used to own her perfume. Coty Leffleur was a gem. I owned it in my youth. I remember most of these. I had Charlie and Wild Musk and a Bob Mackie fragrance that a girlfriend of mine wore. Dana Chantilly was a popular one also. Joop! Le Bain was most likely my first true signature. I always gravitated towards warmer spicier scents and still do. My Mom liked Jean Nate bath products. I recall the Burberry Society ads a long time ago. I enjoyed Navy but it was not a stand-out. Some other ones I really enjoyed back then were Ralph Lauren Lauren, Safari, Must de Cartier, Casmir, Fendi by Fendi, Cabotine Gres, Chloe Narcisse, D+G Red Cap, Love's Baby Soft, Dior Poison, Samsara, Organza, Tresor, and YSL Champagne. I started wearing Thierry Mugler Angel when it came out in '92. It was way ahead of its time. I also loved Dior Hypnotic Poison when it released. I didn't care for most of the Body Shop products besides White Musk and Patchouli. Fragrances that I couldn't stand back then, but that I do appreciate now, were Chanel #5, Chanel Coco, Cacharel Eden and Anais Anais, Youth Dew, YSL Opium, Kuoros, ET Passion, and Shalimar. -Joan
Hi Sarah! Dana Babysoft and Fresh Lemon 🍋 were my favorites as a kid and then I wore Coty Vanilla Musk, Liz Sport, Gap Grass, Fire & Ice, or Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Tribu was amazing even though I never had it. The original 1995 Acqua di Gio was also spectacular fresh and fruity. I wore the original Vanilla oil from the Body Shop in college. When I started earning a little money I bought myself Gucci Rush and the old Gucci Envy. Those were both so amazing! Then Gucci EDP II and Lancome Miracle. I remember discovering a Lush store and I loved The Olive Branch perfume- It was soapy and clean. I wore Philosophy Falling in Love in the 2010 and those Clean perfumes.
Wow so much to love here 😍 your signatures of the past sound incredible. ❤🔥you got the best of both worlds the vintage classics but also the more contemporary perfumes. As a millennial I wore victoria's secret perfumes like very sexy in the tall rectangle red and black bottle (it was my favorite) or the Pink body sprays like warm & cozy. I also loved Ralph Hot for a while. It looked like the classic Ralph bottle but in purple. True Religion by True Religion, Pacsun, Sexy little things noir, Hollister, Daisy, Deep Red, Flower Tag by Kenzo I wore in college 🖤
Born in 1973, started with Loves Baby Soft, then deep dived into heavy hitters..... Safari, Lauren, Halston, Alyssa Ashley Musk, Laura Ashley No.1, Perry Ellis 360, Knowing, Anais Anais, Obsession, and my all time fave due to a precious 3rd grade teacher... Magi Noir!!
OMG I loved all those scents! I also had rap musk, it came in a pink can and it had a little baseball cap, but Debbie Gibson electric youth was my all-time favorite. I really wish I still had it.
I need to check out Tribu! For me it was Loves Baby Soft- jr high, Sunflower-Jr high, Giorgio Ocean Dreams- all of high school, Prescriptives Calyx and Arden Green Tea, Tocca Stella, Prada Candy- college. I was born in 82❤
Ok, that was one of my top favorite videos that you have ever done! Loved all the memories! I am wee older than you, so my signatures were Heaven Sent, Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose, Chanel No. 5 (yes, believe it!), YSL Paris, and a local Tea Rose oil. Chloe was the gateway to ‘collecting’ for me. Love this, Sarah!❤️🌹
Love your flashback collection. You were like me! I would beg my mom to take me to every perfume counter. I would want to smell EVERYTHING. Britney Spears Curious was one of my earliest bottles of perfume. I was so obsessed with Britney and her music especially every song on In the Zone CD which I got for Xmas. I cherished that bottle and it smelled so good to my young nose. I got into wearing D&G Light Blue because my older sister wore it. It was very strong. iwore Pink Sugar. I had bottles of Vera Wang Princess and Rock Princess. Rock Princess was better than regular Princess but it didn’t last. As I got older, like late teens, I started enjoying Coco Mademoiselle,Burberry Brit and CK Euphoria a lot. Euphoria smelled very mature to me and I thought I was so fancy wearing it. Then I started enjoying celebrity scents like Beyonce Heat and Rihanna Reb’l Fleur when they came out. Both those fragrances smell horrid to me now. Givenchy Very Irresistible reminds me specifically of college days when I was spending a lot of time in the dorms with friends. I also discovered Lolita Lempicka at that time and I was obsessed with that perfume.
I loved Tribu. I remember it spilled on my bag in university. I saw it in fragrancex but i wasn’t sure if it’s still the same as some of the reviews where not good. Hope you could share your thoughts as soon as you buy a bottle. I was the youngest of 6 kids so if my siblings were wearing the original poison, tender poison, ckone and a lot of men fragrances (I love mens’ until now since I love citrus and aromatics) Aspen, Eternity, Cool water etc all for men, I would be wearing those as well. Your memory is great 👍🏼
Sarah, I love this video! I hope you are well. I wore all the same fragrances and Tribu was one of favorites!!! I have a OG bottle and never use it! Exclamation was another good one that I wore a lot. ❤
I loved hearing all about your fragrance journey. Much like you, I always had a little collection of fragrances even as a little girl. I still can’t believe they discontinued Stella. Also, the Origins Ginger fragrance is back (at least on Ulta’s website).
Hi again. One scent which is discontinuous is by Bath and Body Cherry. Blossom. Not the Japanese one. E bay has the spray mist as well as the actual perfume. I get lots of compliments. It is a clean soapy fragrance. Try it ladies. It is lovely.
Love these videos! There’s something about the times when the collections were small and we had a signature scent. I have so many now, there’s no signature perfume for the last 4 years, I’ve only managed to make some scent memories 😅
This is amazing 💙✨ I could listen to you talk about these old scents all day. My best friend in high school had 3 signatures: Light Blue, Daisy, & Coco Mademoiselle, but Light Blue was her favorite she would tell me all the time how much she loved it. 😊I still remember borrowing her scarf one day and the smell of Light Blue had lingered onto my neck and when I got home I could still smell it! Such an iconic fragrance. My other friend wore VS Love spell which is a tricky one for me to pull off but the fragrance is SO nostalgic omg❤️
Those are all such iconic fragrances. My best friend wore Light Blue as a signature for years too! It was so strong and long lasting back then and just so good. I have a love hate relationship with Love Spell. It makes me sick but at the same time I love the nostalgia of it. ❤️🥰
I wore Chantilly in grades 6 and 7. In high school- Vanilla Fields, Fire and Ice. College- CK Eternity, Cucumber Melon, Love Spell, Pear Glace, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Breathe Romance, Deep Red. Then Coco Mademoiselle, Dior Addict, Gucci II, Miss Dior Cherie, and Gap Coconut Tuberose.
I had another Tribu, besides the yellow-red, which was blue. That also smelled fantastic. I still have the bottle in my parents house. I check on it regularly, as it still smells great. I am so excited about a rerelease!😊
I got samba for Xmas one year and that's the first perfume I can remember. Also think I had Malibu musk! When I got into junior high and high school I had vanilla Fields and was able to borrow my sister's curve and candies. I recently saw samba at CVS and wanted to pick it up just for nostalgia ❤. I recently went into a resale shop and they had old bottles of vanilla Fields, vanilla musk , and one bottle of tribe that was missing the atomizer! I was tempted to get it cause it smelled sooo good , but I got vanilla musk instead.... it was definitely off though and the bottle was the older style bottle!
I’ve had and worn nearly all of these except Stella, Euphoria, and maybe 1 or 2 others. Back in the 80’s/90’s I also loved Skin Midnight Musk by Bonne Bell. Ysatis, the original Ombré Rose (not the company selling it now), Lutece, and my “club” scent was Opium. I loved the scents of the 80’s and 90’s!
Brought back so many memories for me thanks for sharing. Did you ever wear Avon perfume? I remember wearing Haiku and sweet honesty. I used to also wear Ralph Lauren - Lauren perfume super strong but nostalgic. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there! I think my mom had a couple of Avon perfumes, I think maybe Imari and Far & Away but I never wore them. They were kind of hard to get where I grew up for some reason. Not many Avon sellers. ❤️
Coty Exclamation is definitely the 80's even in the bottle design. In the 90's I liked Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers and Green Tea. In the 2000's, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Cucumber Melon, and Britney Curious. In the 2010's, Britney Fantasy, Gap Close, Flowerbomb, Pink Sugar, Victoria Secret Angel, Marc Jacobs Honey, Clean Skin, Taylor Swift Taylor, Michael Kors Sporty Citrus, and Michael Kors White. -lindita
Dang girl! I wore baby cologne until I was 13. Then from your list it was Navy, then Vanilla Fields, Emeraude, and Baby Rose Jeans in 1994. Samba was very nice and I wore that in 2000. I still have Fantasy. Charlie White is not great anymore.
I only had signatures back then. Tribe, Tribu, Exclamation ➡ Clinique Happy, Gap Heaven, Tommy Girl ➡ Chance, Burberry Sport ➡ Bronze Goddess, Versace Eros for her
When someone says a scent is vintage, I really have no frame of reference for that. I wish I'd paid more attention as a young adult to that. My mother wore Elizabeth Arden and Elizabeth Taylor scents and would occasionally give me a bottle after I was a married adult, which I wore until they were gone. I remember she wore Blue Grass and White Shoulders and once bought me Love's Baby Soft when I was an older teen. I think I still have that pretty purple bottle of Elizabeth Taylor Passions she gave me, though I do not recall what any of them smelled like. I was always someone who would grab a random body spray that sounded good and wear it, but never perfume other than once or twice, I got a bottle of Navy from the drugstore. I just did not buy perfume in my entire life, not really. I only got into fragrance for real within the last five years (I'm almost 68), but because we are very frugal and on fixed income, I wear only affordable ones, dupes of high end ones from places like Impressive Bliss or 5 ml samples of good perfumes from ScentsAngel. I don't often really love many fragrances that others seem to love and I live in a rural area with no place to get my nose on anything, which makes choices a bit tricky. I find I don't like rose and have a hard time with saffron unless it's done to my liking. I rarely see anyone other than my husband who seems to think all perfume smells like urine-I tell him that his smeller is broken, LOL. ~Cynthia
Hi Love! I don't know why I feel like I remember one of those Elizabeth Taylor scents, maybe her first one which I think was Passion?, smelled like Dior Poison? I could be totally wrong but I feel like I have that memory. ❤️
@@SarahMayes You're probably right. Passion was a nice one, as I recall, but I have no actual scent memory of it. Maybe if I could find that bottle I know I have! I haven't ever smelled Poison that I recall. I wish I had more memories of perfumes I saw growing up on Mom's dressing table!
I like strawberry ,coco, cherry and apple. Funny because I'm from a tropical country. Cool water i love The mens version. I wore carolina herrera ,cafe (confiluxe) and animal 😂 on that heat ..
I don't trust ebay when it comes to perfume. I have gotten scammed before. YASS I wore Malibu Musk and Exclamation so much. Sunflowers was everything though. I loved Tommy Girl, Coolwater, Ck One and Be, Eternity, Baby Soft and Soft Jasmine, Clinique Happy, Cashmere Mist, Pleasures, Beautiful, Green Tea, Liz Claiborne. I really wish we could go back to those style of perfumes. Everything today is generic. In college when I had no money I used to buy drugstore Body Fantasy sprays. I think I had one called Apple and one called Plumeria and ugh they were scrumptious.
Have you heard that Britney s. are coming out writh a new perfume, it is pink and have same shape like the one you had in this video. Great video ❤ Big hugs from Denmark 💝🌹🥰
Hi Love! I haven't seen the new one yet but they have released so many flankers of Fantasy I have a hard time keeping up! I will have to check it out. ❤️🥰🫶
Oh gosh, I grew up in the 70s as a young teenager and my memories of all of those perfumes are awful. I did not like any of the 80s or 90s Fragrances I have all good memories of my childhood but I just do not like those old-fashioned smells, and aldehydes are the worst for me.. I recently bought a bottle of fire and ice because I had never smelled it back then and thought I might like it because I love Amber perfumes. I sprayed it a few times on myself tried it a few times and decided it had to go so I threw it in the trash same with cool water, I don’t know I just like the more modern perfume I guess
Exactly like it. Well, the ones you could get back in the 90's. I don't know if they still make that shampoo somewhere and I am not sure what the reformulation of the fragrances smells like but back then the perfume and shampoo were the same fragrance. ❤️
As a child I wore Avon’s Little Blossom and Pretty Peach. As an older child I also wore Exclamation and found a vintage bottle that is the best. As a teen I wore CKOne, then Victoria’s Secret Exotic Bouquet. In my college years it was JLO Glow, VS Rapture, Love Spell, Stella Rose Absolute and Guerlain’s Insolence EDT, Gucci II. Later I used Rose the One by D&G, Lancôme’s Tresor Midnight Rose. Now I have about 500 that I use!
@@SarahMayes got it in Mercari and it’s a gem. I have fintase bottles of all mentioned except of the Exotic Bouquet and JLO glow, Love Spell and CKOne are new. I have some of my treasures. My Little Blossom is still smelling gorgeous!

My first signature that I was obsessed with was the liz claiborne triangle one. and Sun moon stars. omg I wanted electric youth so bad. Exclamation reminds me of high school! I used outrageous shampoo😊 🧼🧼🧼 My signatures: Tribu Nautica Woman Clinique Happy CK1 Arden Green Tea Shiseido Energizing Gucci Envy Cacharel Noa Deep Red Lolita Lempicka Narciso Rodriguez Ange ou Demon Le Secret which was my last actual signature before I became a full blown collector 💙💜

So many beautiful scents of the past😭
Yes! My mom had every single one of the Alfred Sung fragrances in the early 00's and I remember them being so good. So Pink from the Gap was amazing too. It was so fresh and fruity. ❤️
Beautiful perfumes, my first perfumes were Tabu, Coty Wild Musk, Jovan Musk, Jontue, then when I got my first job I bought Opium and Poison ❤❤❤
I need to get my nose on Tabu again. I am not sure if you can still get all of those fragrances in Australia but we can still get all of them here. They have all been reformulated and watered down though. 😭❤️

It is so hard to downsize now. I think about it at times too but then I look at my collection and feel like I can't let anything go. 😂❤️
@@SarahMayes i get it - they are your babies!
Monsoon I do remember
I started off at the age of 8 or 9 with Loves Baby Soft, then moved on to Avon Sweet Honesty. In high school, it was Bonnie Bell musk and Jovan musk. In college, it was Anais Anais. Now, there is no way I can stick to just one perfume. 😂.
I still love Sweet Honesty🥹
Love's Baby Soft is so Iconic! ❤️
OMG Sweet Honesty ❤ long time ago...

It is so sad how watered down all of the old drugstore fragrances are now. I bet you smelled amazing back then! ❤️🥰
Cant wait to watch, thank you for doing my video recommendation!!❤❤
❤️🥰❤️🥰
Liz caliborne was my first scent that got a compliment from my 3rd grade teacher. I’ve never looked back since💯
The Liz Claiborne scents were so good back then! I haven't smelled any of the reformulations but I would love to get my nose on them. The one in the triangle bottle was amazing. ❤️
Nirvana Bourbon and By the Fireplace are incredible ❤🔥
Stella was one of the perfumes I smelled in a magazine too. I remember smelling and buying Givenchy Very Irresistible the same way.
Thanks, Sarah. I heard you mention Isabella Rossellini which reminded me that I used to own her perfume. Coty Leffleur was a gem. I owned it in my youth. I remember most of these. I had Charlie and Wild Musk and a Bob Mackie fragrance that a girlfriend of mine wore. Dana Chantilly was a popular one also. Joop! Le Bain was most likely my first true signature. I always gravitated towards warmer spicier scents and still do. My Mom liked Jean Nate bath products. I recall the Burberry Society ads a long time ago. I enjoyed Navy but it was not a stand-out. Some other ones I really enjoyed back then were Ralph Lauren Lauren, Safari, Must de Cartier, Casmir, Fendi by Fendi, Cabotine Gres, Chloe Narcisse, D+G Red Cap, Love's Baby Soft, Dior Poison, Samsara, Organza, Tresor, and YSL Champagne. I started wearing Thierry Mugler Angel when it came out in '92. It was way ahead of its time. I also loved Dior Hypnotic Poison when it released. I didn't care for most of the Body Shop products besides White Musk and Patchouli. Fragrances that I couldn't stand back then, but that I do appreciate now, were Chanel #5, Chanel Coco, Cacharel Eden and Anais Anais, Youth Dew, YSL Opium, Kuoros, ET Passion, and Shalimar. -Joan

Hi Sarah! Dana Babysoft and Fresh Lemon 🍋 were my favorites as a kid and then I wore Coty Vanilla Musk, Liz Sport, Gap Grass, Fire & Ice, or Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Tribu was amazing even though I never had it. The original 1995 Acqua di Gio was also spectacular fresh and fruity. I wore the original Vanilla oil from the Body Shop in college. When I started earning a little money I bought myself Gucci Rush and the old Gucci Envy. Those were both so amazing! Then Gucci EDP II and Lancome Miracle. I remember discovering a Lush store and I loved The Olive Branch perfume- It was soapy and clean. I wore Philosophy Falling in Love in the 2010 and those Clean perfumes.
Wow so much to love here 😍 your signatures of the past sound incredible. ❤🔥you got the best of both worlds the vintage classics but also the more contemporary perfumes. As a millennial I wore victoria's secret perfumes like very sexy in the tall rectangle red and black bottle (it was my favorite) or the Pink body sprays like warm & cozy. I also loved Ralph Hot for a while. It looked like the classic Ralph bottle but in purple. True Religion by True Religion, Pacsun, Sexy little things noir, Hollister, Daisy, Deep Red, Flower Tag by Kenzo I wore in college 🖤
I remember all of those and they are so fun! I wore VS Warm & Cozy too and I remember loving it: ❤️🥰
I have so many of the same scent memories as you. Omg the Revlon Outrageous Shampoo! I thought anyone who owned it was the coolest 😂💗
We must be close to the same age. ❤️
Omg, oakmoss from Yugoslavia! I've never heard my former country mentioned in relation to perfumes before 😊
❤️❤️❤️
L'effleur was so great
It was. I have an original bottle but it is totally off. I used to love to smell it on my mom and spray it on every once in a while. ❤️
I love those signatures! I know about 90% of those.
Born in 1973, started with Loves Baby Soft, then deep dived into heavy hitters..... Safari, Lauren, Halston, Alyssa Ashley Musk, Laura Ashley No.1, Perry Ellis 360, Knowing, Anais Anais, Obsession, and my all time fave due to a precious 3rd grade teacher... Magi Noir!!
❤️🥰❤️🥰
OMG I loved all those scents! I also had rap musk, it came in a pink can and it had a little baseball cap, but Debbie Gibson electric youth was my all-time favorite. I really wish I still had it.
I need to check out Tribu! For me it was Loves Baby Soft- jr high, Sunflower-Jr high, Giorgio Ocean Dreams- all of high school, Prescriptives Calyx and Arden Green Tea, Tocca Stella, Prada Candy- college. I was born in 82❤
❤️❤️❤️
Ok, that was one of my top favorite videos that you have ever done! Loved all the memories!
I am wee older than you, so my signatures were Heaven Sent, Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose, Chanel No. 5 (yes, believe it!), YSL Paris, and a local Tea Rose oil.
Chloe was the gateway to ‘collecting’ for me. Love this, Sarah!❤️🌹

Love your flashback collection. You were like me! I would beg my mom to take me to every perfume counter. I would want to smell EVERYTHING. Britney Spears Curious was one of my earliest bottles of perfume. I was so obsessed with Britney and her music especially every song on In the Zone CD which I got for Xmas. I cherished that bottle and it smelled so good to my young nose. I got into wearing D&G Light Blue because my older sister wore it. It was very strong. iwore Pink Sugar. I had bottles of Vera Wang Princess and Rock Princess. Rock Princess was better than regular Princess but it didn’t last. As I got older, like late teens, I started enjoying Coco Mademoiselle,Burberry Brit and CK Euphoria a lot. Euphoria smelled very mature to me and I thought I was so fancy wearing it. Then I started enjoying celebrity scents like Beyonce Heat and Rihanna Reb’l Fleur when they came out. Both those fragrances smell horrid to me now. Givenchy Very Irresistible reminds me specifically of college days when I was spending a lot of time in the dorms with friends. I also discovered Lolita Lempicka at that time and I was obsessed with that perfume.
I can picture your whole journey through these perfumes! ❤️
I loved Tribu. I remember it spilled on my bag in university. I saw it in fragrancex but i wasn’t sure if it’s still the same as some of the reviews where not good. Hope you could share your thoughts as soon as you buy a bottle.
I was the youngest of 6 kids so if my siblings were wearing the original poison, tender poison, ckone and a lot of men fragrances (I love mens’ until now since I love citrus and aromatics) Aspen, Eternity, Cool water etc all for men, I would be wearing those as well.
Your memory is great 👍🏼
I wore the OG Nicole Miller, Realities from Liz Claiborne and a brand/perfume called Verve? Anyone remember that?
Sarah, I love this video! I hope you are well. I wore all the same fragrances and Tribu was one of favorites!!! I have a OG bottle and never use it! Exclamation was another good one that I wore a lot. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Omgosh you had SUCH great signatures! I love your choices! This was such a fun video to watch 🫶
Thank you!! ❤️🥰
I loved hearing all about your fragrance journey. Much like you, I always had a little collection of fragrances even as a little girl. I still can’t believe they discontinued Stella. Also, the Origins Ginger fragrance is back (at least on Ulta’s website).
I saw the Origins Ginger and I am so tempted to get it! ❤️🥰
Hi again. One scent which is discontinuous is by Bath and Body Cherry. Blossom. Not the Japanese one. E bay has the spray mist as well as the actual perfume. I get lots of compliments. It is a clean soapy fragrance. Try it ladies. It is lovely.
Love these videos! There’s something about the times when the collections were small and we had a signature scent. I have so many now, there’s no signature perfume for the last 4 years, I’ve only managed to make some scent memories 😅
❤️❤️❤️
This is amazing 💙✨ I could listen to you talk about these old scents all day. My best friend in high school had 3 signatures: Light Blue, Daisy, & Coco Mademoiselle, but Light Blue was her favorite she would tell me all the time how much she loved it. 😊I still remember borrowing her scarf one day and the smell of Light Blue had lingered onto my neck and when I got home I could still smell it! Such an iconic fragrance. My other friend wore VS Love spell which is a tricky one for me to pull off but the fragrance is SO nostalgic omg❤️
Those are all such iconic fragrances. My best friend wore Light Blue as a signature for years too! It was so strong and long lasting back then and just so good. I have a love hate relationship with Love Spell. It makes me sick but at the same time I love the nostalgia of it. ❤️🥰
I love your videos!
Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do! Dua makes amazing apple scents. ❤️
That was fun! Thank you! :)
❤️🥰
I love this! Thanks for sharing :)
I wore Chantilly in grades 6 and 7. In high school- Vanilla Fields, Fire and Ice. College- CK Eternity, Cucumber Melon, Love Spell, Pear Glace, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Breathe Romance, Deep Red.
Then Coco Mademoiselle, Dior Addict, Gucci II, Miss Dior Cherie, and Gap Coconut Tuberose.
I had another Tribu, besides the yellow-red, which was blue. That also smelled fantastic. I still have the bottle in my parents house. I check on it regularly, as it still smells great. I am so excited about a rerelease!😊
I think I remember that flanker! I am going to look it up now to see if I can find it. ❤️
Love this video!
❤️❤️❤️
Me first perfume was maja mirurgia . Them Charlie ,tabu and some other from the 70/80s but maja was me first one and the face powder , lipsticks ❤
I have always been so curious about that scent. I think they still make it if it is the one that I am thinking of in the dark bottle? ❤️
Love your videos! Do you remember Navy?.. That perfume was from the 90s too.. so good!
I do remember Navy! One of these days I want to pick up a bottle just to have. ❤️
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I got samba for Xmas one year and that's the first perfume I can remember. Also think I had Malibu musk! When I got into junior high and high school I had vanilla Fields and was able to borrow my sister's curve and candies. I recently saw samba at CVS and wanted to pick it up just for nostalgia ❤. I recently went into a resale shop and they had old bottles of vanilla Fields, vanilla musk , and one bottle of tribe that was missing the atomizer! I was tempted to get it cause it smelled sooo good , but I got vanilla musk instead.... it was definitely off though and the bottle was the older style bottle!
I love finding vintage gems! ❤️
I love by the Fireplace!!! I wore it out in the fall/winter and on rainy days! I wore it to bed a lot! Love it
It is such a good one! ❤️
In high school I loved White Shoulders. I wore the original Ralph Loren in the purple square bottle.
I have such good memories of those fragrances. ❤️
I’ve had and worn nearly all of these except Stella, Euphoria, and maybe 1 or 2 others. Back in the 80’s/90’s I also loved Skin Midnight Musk by Bonne Bell. Ysatis, the original Ombré Rose (not the company selling it now), Lutece, and my “club” scent was Opium. I loved the scents of the 80’s and 90’s!
They were such amazing powerhouse fragrances! ❤️
Brought back so many memories for me thanks for sharing. Did you ever wear Avon perfume? I remember wearing Haiku and sweet honesty. I used to also wear Ralph Lauren - Lauren perfume super strong but nostalgic. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there! I think my mom had a couple of Avon perfumes, I think maybe Imari and Far & Away but I never wore them. They were kind of hard to get where I grew up for some reason. Not many Avon sellers. ❤️
Coty Exclamation is definitely the 80's even in the bottle design. In the 90's I liked Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers and Green Tea. In the 2000's, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Cucumber Melon, and Britney Curious. In the 2010's, Britney Fantasy, Gap Close, Flowerbomb, Pink Sugar, Victoria Secret Angel, Marc Jacobs Honey, Clean Skin, Taylor Swift Taylor, Michael Kors Sporty Citrus, and Michael Kors White. -lindita
❤️❤️❤️
Jeanne Nate!🍋 (Im old!)😂
Dang girl! I wore baby cologne until I was 13. Then from your list it was Navy, then Vanilla Fields, Emeraude, and Baby Rose Jeans in 1994. Samba was very nice and I wore that in 2000. I still have Fantasy. Charlie White is not great anymore.
😂 I love that!! ❤️
I only had signatures back then. Tribe, Tribu, Exclamation ➡ Clinique Happy, Gap Heaven, Tommy Girl ➡ Chance, Burberry Sport ➡ Bronze Goddess, Versace Eros for her
❤️❤️❤️
When someone says a scent is vintage, I really have no frame of reference for that. I wish I'd paid more attention as a young adult to that. My mother wore Elizabeth Arden and Elizabeth Taylor scents and would occasionally give me a bottle after I was a married adult, which I wore until they were gone. I remember she wore Blue Grass and White Shoulders and once bought me Love's Baby Soft when I was an older teen. I think I still have that pretty purple bottle of Elizabeth Taylor Passions she gave me, though I do not recall what any of them smelled like. I was always someone who would grab a random body spray that sounded good and wear it, but never perfume other than once or twice, I got a bottle of Navy from the drugstore. I just did not buy perfume in my entire life, not really. I only got into fragrance for real within the last five years (I'm almost 68), but because we are very frugal and on fixed income, I wear only affordable ones, dupes of high end ones from places like Impressive Bliss or 5 ml samples of good perfumes from ScentsAngel. I don't often really love many fragrances that others seem to love and I live in a rural area with no place to get my nose on anything, which makes choices a bit tricky. I find I don't like rose and have a hard time with saffron unless it's done to my liking. I rarely see anyone other than my husband who seems to think all perfume smells like urine-I tell him that his smeller is broken, LOL. ~Cynthia
Hi Love! I don't know why I feel like I remember one of those Elizabeth Taylor scents, maybe her first one which I think was Passion?, smelled like Dior Poison? I could be totally wrong but I feel like I have that memory. ❤️
@@SarahMayes You're probably right. Passion was a nice one, as I recall, but I have no actual scent memory of it. Maybe if I could find that bottle I know I have! I haven't ever smelled Poison that I recall. I wish I had more memories of perfumes I saw growing up on Mom's dressing table!
Loved electric youth and still do
I wish they would bring it back! ❤️
Tommy girl was my favorite!!
I like strawberry ,coco, cherry and apple. Funny because I'm from a tropical country. Cool water i love The mens version. I wore carolina herrera ,cafe (confiluxe) and animal 😂 on that heat ..
The men's version of Coolwater is iconic and it smelled so good back in the day! ❤️
I don't trust ebay when it comes to perfume. I have gotten scammed before.
YASS I wore Malibu Musk and Exclamation so much. Sunflowers was everything though. I loved Tommy Girl, Coolwater, Ck One and Be, Eternity, Baby Soft and Soft Jasmine, Clinique Happy, Cashmere Mist, Pleasures, Beautiful, Green Tea, Liz Claiborne. I really wish we could go back to those style of perfumes. Everything today is generic. In college when I had no money I used to buy drugstore Body Fantasy sprays. I think I had one called Apple and one called Plumeria and ugh they were scrumptious.
Even body sprays back then lasted forever! ❤️
Have you heard that Britney s. are coming out writh a new perfume, it is pink and have same shape like the one you had in this video.
Great video ❤
Big hugs from Denmark
💝🌹🥰
Hi Love! I haven't seen the new one yet but they have released so many flankers of Fantasy I have a hard time keeping up! I will have to check it out. ❤️🥰🫶
OMG this is so fun. Let me watch
❤️❤️❤️
Fire and Ice is still amazing.
I am so glad to hear that! ❤️
🥰🥰🥰
Oh gosh, I grew up in the 70s as a young teenager and my memories of all of those perfumes are awful. I did not like any of the 80s or 90s Fragrances I have all good memories of my childhood but I just do not like those old-fashioned smells, and aldehydes are the worst for me.. I recently bought a bottle of fire and ice because I had never smelled it back then and thought I might like it because I love Amber perfumes. I sprayed it a few times on myself tried it a few times and decided it had to go so I threw it in the trash same with cool water, I don’t know I just like the more modern perfume I guess
I definitely understand! I really don't like aldehydes much either. ❤️
Does fire and ice smell like the outrageous shampoo and conditioner?
Exactly like it. Well, the ones you could get back in the 90's. I don't know if they still make that shampoo somewhere and I am not sure what the reformulation of the fragrances smells like but back then the perfume and shampoo were the same fragrance. ❤️

As a child I wore Avon’s Little Blossom and Pretty Peach. As an older child I also wore Exclamation and found a vintage bottle that is the best. As a teen I wore CKOne, then Victoria’s Secret Exotic Bouquet. In my college years it was JLO Glow, VS Rapture, Love Spell, Stella Rose Absolute and Guerlain’s Insolence EDT, Gucci II. Later I used Rose the One by D&G, Lancôme’s Tresor Midnight Rose. Now I have about 500 that I use!
That is so amazing that you have a vintage bottle of Exclamation. That is such a treasure. ❤️🥰
@@SarahMayes got it in Mercari and it’s a gem. I have fintase bottles of all mentioned except of the Exotic Bouquet and JLO glow, Love Spell and CKOne are new. I have some of my treasures. My Little Blossom is still smelling gorgeous!
