I have worn several of those. When you were a little girl smelling Safari I was in my 30s wearing it as my signature. I miss the oldies. My old vintage bottles are really ancient, though, because I’m now in my 60s.
I'm also a child of 80s, and all these gorgeous legends as Opium, Tresor, Poeme, Poison, Anis Anis and my all time love Magie Noir, wonr once by my Mom are my "musts" to have in collection. And i adore them not just for memories - all of them are still great and perfect to wear and to enjoy! Thank you Sarah, i love your channel, i'm on binge watching it for a week already:))))
I am exactly where Sarah is. Forfew years,I was on this quest to find vintage perfumes from the 60s and 70s. It took me a few years of watching Ebay, but I have a drawer full.
I met and fell deeply in love with Poison in the winter of 1985 ... Unforgettable. It became my signature perfume for years, and for me spoke of deep intense exotic midnights and magical dawns: powerful and rich, yet strangely innocent. Nothing like it. I was pleased to see your longer/taller bottle, as that was how my first few bottles looked. Later it became the plump round bottles that we still see today. This was absolutely a 'love/hate' perfume. It will always have a place in my heart. Xxxxxxx
When I was a teenager my favorite perfumes were WindSong and Heaven Sent! (1970's). I would save up my babysitting money to buy those. ❤ I wore Charlie in my 20's, Realites in my 30's, and White Shoulders for special occasions. Then I became a nurse and we weren't allowed to wear perfume, so I quit using perfume all together. Now I'm 60, and I just starting wearing perfume once again! I have Blooming Bouquet by Dior, and Pure Musc by Narcisso Rodriguez, and I love them both!
Cubby Levi I used to wear Wind Song and my sister used to wear Heaven Sent. I also used to wear Cachet, but that was discontinued years ago. As a teenager I loved Tatiana - another one that was discontinued, sadly.
I love, love, love this video! You are like me, a person who loves rich, beautiful statement perfumes instead of the wishy-washy rubbish that is around now. I loved so many of these perfumes and I remember that some of us fashionable young girls were banned from wearing Poison and also Dewberry from The Bodyshop (in the UK) by our boss because he detested them and could take no more of the headaches!! It is amazing that perfumes can invoke memories in a way that nothing else can. My Mum too was always very glamorous and wore (still does, aged 83!) fabulous scents. Here in the UK original Cinnabar is still available and I forgot all about Fire and Ice, which, sadly, I don't think is on sale here anymore now. I wore Safari when it first came out and have lovely memories of a gorgeous ex-boyfriend whenever I wear it. Look forward to more of your vids. Thanks.
I LOVE vintage fragrances!! My mom's friend wore TABU. My mom wore Avon including Oddysey and Night Magic. Also Enjoli and Jovan Musk Oil. I have Emeraude, Shalimar and L'air du Temp in my collection, along with Vanilla fields, Obsession, and Navy. I always enjoy your fragrance videos. Keep them coming! :)
I know this is an older video, but I’m getting into fragrances as a hobby and find that I am drawn to these vintage ones for the nostalgia. I’m about 10 years older than you and was a teenager in the 80s. I remember being afraid of Opium and Poison back then as they were so powerful they could blow you away. Now I feel like I took them for granted and wish that I could have them back as they used to be. It’s sad that modern fragrances are so weak in comparison. I wonder why that is? Are the ingredients too expensive now? Harder to find/endangered in natural forms? My mother wore Charlie, Halston, and Amarige. I used to love Safari, Calvin Klein Eternity, and YSL Paris. I also used to wear Coty Wild Musk a lot because my boyfriend (now husband) loved it. I want to get a bottle of Mahora again. I associate that one with getting one of my first jobs after grad school. I’d love to watch a video with your advice, sources, and tricks for tracking down authentic vintage perfumes, if you’d be willing to share. I know they can be found on eBay and Mercari, but how do you avoid fakes or know it’s not a reformulation? Thanks for making this video. I’d love to see more like this as your vintage collection grows.
Never thought of myself as vintage, but I suppose I am based on how long I have been treating myself with perfumes. In the 70s, 80s and 90s my favourite perfumes were: 70s: Tweed, Bellogia, Shalimar, L'air du Temps, Cabochard, Rive Gauche, Silences 80s: Nocturnes, Ralph Lauren's Lauren, Ralph Lauren's Safari, Maggie Noir, Salvador Dali, Channel 19, Clairborne, Halston, Obsession, Ombre Rose 90s: Hermès Un Jardin sur le Nil, Samsara, Creed's Vanilla, Pleasures, Dolce n Gabbana's By (brown leopard print) Not one of these so-called vintage fragrances smell anything like they originally did, nor do they last like they used to. So, so disappointing.
Oh, here in Germany I remember from the 80/90‘: JOOP! Le Bain, Loulou, Magi Noire, Revlon Charly, ARMANI, Cool Water, Fahrenheit, Paloma Picasso, Dali, Spellbound and Knowing were popular, Boucheron, Byzanz and Madame from ROCHAS. Lovely. Thank you!
Oh my goodness, what a fantastic video ...many I can remember the scents in my mind ! I wore Exclamation in my early 20's and was amazed to see it just recently at Walmart😁 I wore Bijon, Joop and Samsara ! Those are so 80's 😃
I have a old perfume called Vanilla Fields my mother wore this to church on Sunday she smelled so beautiful it automatically take me back to that time I was four years old and i am 23 it smells like old day's
Omg! Could the shampoos & conditioners you mentioned in regard to Fire & Ice be the discontinued Revlon Outrageous!? I LOVED using them & the smell was gorgeous! I looked all over for them but it is no longer created. I also remember using L'Effleur. Your daughter is so cute! 😊 Blessings.
My mum had the same perfumes, poison and opium, one called Kiku by faberge too I remember, one of my favourites was Venezia by Laura biagiotti was soooo nice, and samsara 🥰❤️, I am so glad I found your channel I love perfumes from 80s/90s and everything else from 80s 😄❤️xx
Good afternoon sweetie. My mom had so many of her favorites scents. Plus some of the bottles they came in are like a piece of art. Such a beautiful collection. Thank you 🙏
This video was so fun to watch. I remember wearing and loving Exclamation. I think I may have had one of the Samba perfumes too. Giorgio Beverly Hills was another one I loved.
Love this video. I’m guessing you are close to my daughter’s age. In 80’s and 90’s I adored my Dior Poison. I bought it in a duty free shop on a Caribbean Cruise. Oh, the memories from that scent! I also wore, and still wore, Lancôme’s Tresor as well as the original Chanel Coco. All timeless in my estimation.
Safari is one stunning perfume. I own the vintage perfume. Cinnabar is a great carnation! ... there are many bottles available on eBay. You want the one with the deep orangey-red, brick red top/cap & gold and deep red box. The liquid is also cinnamon colored.
My very first perfume I wore was Love's Baby soft, I believe I was 10 lol. Then I moved onto Angel from Mary Kay. Loved that perfume! Safari was one of my favorites also Estee from Estee Lauder. My mom wore Fire and Ice, Opium and Cinnabar. Such a beautiful walk down memory lane. Thanks for sharing!!
I've had so much fun collecting the scents of my childhood, including Exclamation!, Love's Rain Scent, YSL Paris (I've completely gone nuts collecting that one in all it's infinite concentrations, vintages, and flankers). I even started collecting the old Avon's of my youth including what I think was my very first perfume as a 9 or 10 year old, Daises (or something) with the most adorable bottle. And so, so many others. In fact, it was the nostalgia for those old scents that really got me in *deep* with perfume collecting. Sometimes it's not so much the scent itself, but the bottle that really triggers the nostalgia!
I love it! I can’t wait to keep adding to my collection. I’m especially excited about finding all of the perfumes I used to love and wear as a child myself. ☺️💗
Ylang-Ylang is pronounced Yang-Yang, not Ling-Ling. Little trick that French woman used to do during the occupation and war to save their perfume and not use it up too fast because it was impossible to buy was to get as many areas with one spray or a few dabs of the perfume. First they'd spray one wrist or add a little pool with the dabber onto one wrist, dip their fingers into the little pool of fragrance and apply to each pulse point on the neck, dip again, tap nape of neck, collar bones, and hairline. Then tap both wrists together, then cross your wrists to get the backsides of wrist (two taps). They used one big spray or a few dabs on that one wrist and managed to apply it to 10 areas. Even in wartime Frenchwomen smelled wonderful. I know. My mother was one of those women.
Chloe was my fave in the 80s- I named my daughter Chloe in '96. Im talking the original Chloe by Lagerfeld. The Chloe by Chloe is the one younger generations know about but they are two totally dif perfumes.
I've started a vintage collection too. Love your suggestions. Purchased my moms faves Ciara, Youth Dew, Emeraude, L'Aimant Cinnabar Fame by Corday Arpege and still counting..lol❤
I love finding vintages. 🥰 I just found a vintage bottle of Charlie White which I used to wear when I was really young in the 80’s/early 90’s. I can’t wait for it to get here. Hunting down vintages is such a pleasure. 😍💗🙏🏻
My mother has always worn the same bottle of Estee Lauder Youth Dew. Literally the same bottle. She only wears It for very special occasions. It is probably from the sixties, so definitely vintage. I am about ten years older than you.😊 I wore Liz Claiborne, the triangle bottle, in college.
Oh yes!!! The 80s!!! My mom and aunt loved: 1.) Fendi 2.) Giorgio 3.) Bijan 4.) Poison 5.) Obsession 6.) Opium 7.) Ester Lauder Beautiful I remember when these came out, they were such big hits, and the thought of them gave me such fond memories of the 80s, 90s, and the luxurious, decadent department stores that sold them.... Good times!
I remember when they came out as well. I was a child and they were far out of my league but I loved them non the less. Lol Debbie Gibson’s Electric Youth was my first fragrance. Lol
I've worn a lot of perfumes in my time, expensive ones and not so expensive ones. Coty's L'Effleur is the one without doubt that I have received the most compliments on, from men and women, including queries about the name of it and who made it.
Yes, I thought that Mahora was more musky but I do quite like it! In fact, I also recently bought Versace Blonde edt from the same seller I bought the Mahora from! That one is amazing! Funny enough I just ordered a vintage bottle of Safari yesterday (mostly full) and am waiting for it. I seem to be on a vintage kick recently and also plan on finding vintage Opium, Poison, Amarige and Red Door. You are so lucky to have that Poison! Years ago, I bought Electric Youth as that one was my first perfumes! Exclamation and Tribe were others. Thanks for making this video!
That’s so great that you are buying vintage! I love it! I used to wear electric youth as well. I’ve been trying to find vintage bottles of those 80’s perfumes but it’s almost impossible! Happy hunting to you though! ❤️😊
I wore Emaraud, I think by Coty in my junior year in high school. My Sin in my college days n Midnight! I keep searching for a scent like Midnight, even to this day! A walk down memory Lane! I loved oil of Musk by Jovan when that was popular a couple years back!! I still do. I have Chanel Number 5. I wear this current scent n Body by Burberry! N Tovah(which smells wonderful)QVC purchase! Sarah, I enjoyed your vintage video!
Omg!!! Your bringing back so many memories. I wore L' effleur so much in my thirties, and kept re purchasing it till I couldn't find it any longer . Do you remember the perfume" Truly Lace ", this smelled incredible also . Fire and Ice another oldie but goody. An aunt that passed was gifted Cinnabar by her friend at Christmas time, and the scent smelled of patchouli, sandlewood, & incense. Great collection of lovely vintage perfumes.
I picked mine up from an individual on Mercari. Unfortunately that or eBay are about your only option unless you are lucky enough to find one in thrift store or something. ☺️
Hi there! I love it too and I don’t know of anything that smells like it. It does say on Fragrantica that Drew Barrymore’s Radiant Flower and Replica Springtime in the Park are supposed to smell like it. ❤️🥰
The perfume my mom wore that I remember was passion by Elizabeth Taylor. While I have a small bottle that I keep for nostalgic purposes, it did not work with my body chemistry lol
I remember all those except the Coty ,Shalimar was also widely worn as was Tresor and kenzo flower the vintage juice which I have a bottle of, nice list Sara🤩😍🦋😘
Great video. I have a question. I am 41. Once I became an adult and had my own money i went through my empty perfume bottles from my childhood and bought what I could find. Now although I love them, sometimes I feel they are old fashioned. This makes me feel sad because they bring so many memories and smell better and are much stronger than today’s fragrances. Do you ever feel that those perfumes smell like old lady perfumes? Do other people notice that or is it just in our heads? What do you think?
This was a walk down memory lane for me since I was a young adult at the time, and used most of the ones mentioned. So sad that the fashion houses and/or perfume houses reformulate these really advanced and beautiful fragrances. I have the original Opium Perfume in it's beautiful original flacon with jewels and tassels still hanging from it's cork, and the Opium Perfume that they sell today is nothing in comparison. One doesn't even get the vibe from why this perfume became such a hype when it was first launched. Same thing with Dior Poison, such an incredible perfume. Later introduced in all kind of varieties, but never as successful. The true vintage one was introduced in a green round bottle, and was very strong. The original Shalimar from Guerlain was a true gourmand Vanilla. Almost a little too sweet for the faint, but a beautiful scent. What they present today is simply rubbish in comparison. As with so many other well known brands and scents. Funny you should bring out the Trussardi. I think I bought it because of the rare and "featherlike" bottle, but never liked the scent though. So very strong, and the leather was prominent as I remember it. Thank you for bringing back many of these goodies. Estée Lauder really should bring back some of their gems like e.g. Cinnabar.
I agree with everything you said. I miss perfumes like these. It makes me so nostalgic for those days. 😊 I so wish the perfume industry would start making fragrances like this again. I love collecting these old vintage bottles though. They make me so happy. Do you know what year I should be looking for to get the gourmand shalimar that you are referring to? I would die to get my hands on a bottle of it. 🙏🏻💗
Estée Lauder has butchered their classics. My signature for decades was Estee. I used to call them and email them over and over, begging them to return her namesake to its original formulation. I finally gave up on them. My mother wore the dupe, which was revlon Moon Drops. Yummy! I wore opium and cinnabar in the late 70s and early 80s. I moved on to Guerlain since there seems to be more integrity with that house and how they do reformulations. My LOVE is Mitsouko. There’s a note or two in it that reminds me of when I was younger. It is pure comfort for me. I’ve finally learned that my favorites are aldehydes and chypres. Love your channel.
My grandma wore Shisheido Zen in the black bottle and I was able to find a bottle of that a few years ago. My mom wore Emeraude when I was little. Both of these scents bring back memories. I grew up in the ‘80s and love vintage perfumes. My favourites are the original Opium, Amariage, and the original Poison ( I have 2 bottles of Poison like yours). All throughout high school I wore Navy and always asked for it at birthdays and Christmas! I remember Fire and Ice too and I think I had it as well! Is it the Outrageous shampoo/conditioner that you thought smelled like Fire and Ice? Loved the scent of that shampoo! 💕
Yes! That was the shampoo that smelled exactly like it. I wish I could remember things as well as you do!! I used to love navy. I loved Charlie white as well which I need to pick up as they still sell it. Oh the nostalgia. 🙏🏻🥰💖
I remember Avon had a perfume back in the ‘60’s called Hawaiian White Ginger. I loved it.....it reminded me of Hawaii. Does anyone know if you can still get it and where?
You could try ebay, but if you find it it is likely used and it will end up costing you a small fortune. You can still check and see if you have any luck.
My lovely Goldy always finds her way to the Estée Lauder counter so I can buy a bottle of Knowing, I’m having trouble finding the lotion is it discontinued?
@@SarahMayes Hi Sarah, if you look at the short clip that I posted of Goldy it tells the story that I’m seeing at my local department stores for the Knowing line. What are you seeing around your area?
Hi there!! As long as perfume is stored properly it will last for years and years. There are some collectors that have bottles from the 30’s and 40’s that still smell good. 🥰
Does anyone know the name of a perfume that was available from florist shops that had a floral-green fragrance? It came in a ridged square tall bottle.
I have the vintage poison from back in the 80's and it's different. My bottle hasn't got atomizer and it's parfum, not eau de toilette. I think you have a latest version of it.
@@SarahMayes Thank you ;) I love your videos. Also, I LOVED the original Cinnabar and held onto my bottle for the longest time. I ended up using it all and sadly hate the reformulation (like most reformulations).
At last a sensible presenter of perfumes! Thank you Sarah! I love the vintage perfumes too. There are very few modern perfumes both women's and men's that I like. Synthetics are used nowadays and too much fruit and chocolates and, they are nauseating and an insult to our olfactory glands! Keep up the good videos! All the best...
Thank you for sharing - what an interesting video! Poison was kind of a signature fragrance for me when I was 16 - but I think I blew some people's socks off because I sprayed too much now and then..lol
Hi Priyanka! ☺️ Thank you so much! Let me know if there are any products or certain types of videos you would like to see! I know I’m getting a bit away from makeup so I want to make sure I am still making stuff that my OG subs want to see!
Please don't take this wrong... but... You know... you can wash that Trussardi bottle with Vim and a toothbrush... It shows up as really dirty on this video...
I have worn several of those. When you were a little girl smelling Safari I was in my 30s wearing it as my signature. I miss the oldies. My old vintage bottles are really ancient, though, because I’m now in my 60s.
I love how scents can automatically transport us to another moment in time. The olfactory sense is very powerful! Thanks for sharing♥
Yes, it is pretty amazing. 🙏🏻🥰💗
I'm also a child of 80s, and all these gorgeous legends as Opium, Tresor, Poeme, Poison, Anis Anis and my all time love Magie Noir, wonr once by my Mom are my "musts" to have in collection.

I’m in my 40’s and 80’s doesn’t sound vintage to me 😆. Ahhh, good times
I love the vintage perfums too but to me the old ones go back to the 50s. Your daughter is adorable.
Thank you so much! 🥰🙏🏻❤️
I met and fell deeply in love with Poison in the winter of 1985 ... Unforgettable.

i feel like everything was better in the 80's
It really was. Music, movies, fashion. Things were a lot simpler back then. ☺️
Amen to that! I miss those days!
Me too!! 😩
Yes they were!!! Powerful!! Fun!!! And awesome craftsmanship!!!
90s too
When I was a teenager my favorite perfumes were WindSong and Heaven Sent! (1970's).

I have Blooming Bouquet by Dior, and Pure Musc by Narcisso Rodriguez, and I love them both!
Those are 2 good ones! 🥰
Love Windsong SO much!! My mother wore that. I did too when it was so good-1970s.
Cubby Levi I used to wear Wind Song and my sister used to wear Heaven Sent. I also used to wear Cachet, but that was discontinued years ago. As a teenager I loved Tatiana - another one that was discontinued, sadly.

Avon pearls and lace! I couldn't get enough😊
4711 Is the one I love very vintage over 200 years old and still the original recipe
I love it so much as well. I have my eyes on a vintage bottle. ☺️
So cool and beautiful. It is great on a Summers day.

I want to try Madame Rochas. Fragrantica says it’s still quite good.
Your list slayed me! High five.

Good afternoon sweetie. My mom had so many of her favorites scents. Plus some of the bottles they came in are like a piece of art. Such a beautiful collection. Thank you 🙏
Yes, the older bottles are definitely a work of art! I miss perfumes like that. It’s fun to search for them though. 😊💕
I love how Purfum makes you bring memories back. Your daughter looks like you....
My mum wore Blue grass by Elizabeth Arden from the 70s and into the 80s
I still haven’t smelled blue grass and I really want to. 😍
I still wear Blue Grass. I particularly liked the talc but this must have been discontinued many years ago.
I have a vintage bottle of blue grass from the 80s. Hardly used. I found it in my mum's belongings
@@sandralamb3103 You can actually purchase this at The Vermont Country Store online.
This video was so fun to watch. I remember wearing and loving Exclamation. I think I may have had one of the Samba perfumes too. Giorgio Beverly Hills was another one I loved.

Even in wartime Frenchwomen smelled wonderful. I know. My mother was one of those women.
You aren't pronouncing it correctly...she did pronounce it correctly.
E-lang e-lang is the correct pronunciation!!!
Exclamation, Vanilla Fields, Tabu, Jovan White Musk, Elizabeth Arden Red Door and of course Eternity.
All beauties...🙏🏻🥰💖
Dresden219 You have excellent taste in perfumes!
Throw some Navy in there, and you smelled just like me in high school, until I discovered Amarige, and it became my signature.
These are from my era: Paris, Poison, Le Fluerrer, Giorgio, Ralph Lauren~ Lauren, RL Safari, Anias Anias, White Shoulders. Chloe
White Shoulders my first perfume, and all time fav
Lauren by Ralph Lauren the vintage do emulation from the early 80's my fav!
My mother's favorites are White Shoulders and Chloe. She loves these two fragrances. 💞
I also had Safari loved the scent, but I lost it years ago, especially loved that cut crystal bottle it came in .
Chloe was my fave in the 80s- I named my daughter Chloe in '96. Im talking the original Chloe by Lagerfeld. The Chloe by Chloe is the one younger generations know about but they are two totally dif perfumes.
I love all your memories, so lovingly described. Perfume instantly takes us back. Thank you, great video!
I've started a vintage collection too. Love your suggestions. Purchased my moms faves Ciara, Youth Dew, Emeraude, L'Aimant Cinnabar Fame by Corday Arpege and still counting..lol❤
I love finding vintages. 🥰 I just found a vintage bottle of Charlie White which I used to wear when I was really young in the 80’s/early 90’s. I can’t wait for it to get here. Hunting down vintages is such a pleasure. 😍💗🙏🏻
@@SarahMayes yes! I have a vintage Cinnabar. Look on Ebay. I've seen the pure perfume .
Expensive but glorious ❤
My mother wore Arpege.
My mother has always worn the same bottle of Estee Lauder Youth Dew. Literally the same bottle. She only wears It for very special occasions. It is probably from the sixties, so definitely vintage. I am about ten years older than you.😊 I wore Liz Claiborne, the triangle bottle, in college.
What Ana maxing memory to have! 🙏🏻😍💗
Oh yes!!! The 80s!!! My mom and aunt loved:
1.) Fendi
2.) Giorgio
3.) Bijan
4.) Poison
5.) Obsession
6.) Opium
7.) Ester Lauder Beautiful
I remember when these came out, they were such big hits, and the thought of them gave me such fond memories of the 80s, 90s, and the luxurious, decadent department stores that sold them....
Good times!
I remember when they came out as well. I was a child and they were far out of my league but I loved them non the less. Lol Debbie Gibson’s Electric Youth was my first fragrance. Lol
I loved Giorgio Beverly Hills and Bijan but as a 80s high school teenager I had to settle for Designer Imposter sprays.
I've worn a lot of perfumes in my time, expensive ones and not so expensive ones. Coty's L'Effleur is the one without doubt that I have received the most compliments on, from men and women, including queries about the name of it and who made it.
Yes, I thought that Mahora was more musky but I do quite like it! In fact, I also recently bought Versace Blonde edt from the same seller I bought the Mahora from! That one is amazing! Funny enough I just ordered a vintage bottle of Safari yesterday (mostly full) and am waiting for it. I seem to be on a vintage kick recently and also plan on finding vintage Opium, Poison, Amarige and Red Door. You are so lucky to have that Poison!
Years ago, I bought Electric Youth as that one was my first perfumes! Exclamation and Tribe were others. Thanks for making this video!
That’s so great that you are buying vintage! I love it! I used to wear electric youth as well. I’ve been trying to find vintage bottles of those 80’s perfumes but it’s almost impossible! Happy hunting to you though! ❤️😊
I wore Emaraud, I think by Coty in my junior year in high school. My Sin in my college days n Midnight! I keep searching for a scent like Midnight, even to this day! A walk down memory Lane! I loved oil of Musk by Jovan when that was popular a couple years back!! I still do. I have Chanel Number 5. I wear this current scent n Body by Burberry! N Tovah(which smells wonderful)QVC purchase! Sarah, I enjoyed your vintage video!
Omg!!! Your bringing back so many memories. I wore L' effleur so much in my thirties, and kept re purchasing it till I couldn't find it any longer . Do you remember the perfume" Truly Lace ", this smelled incredible also . Fire and Ice another oldie but goody. An aunt that passed was gifted Cinnabar by her friend at Christmas time, and the scent smelled of patchouli, sandlewood, & incense. Great collection of lovely vintage perfumes.
Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
@@SarahMayes No, thank you for those memories. 😊😙😘
Fabulous vintage beauties!! 💞
Thank you so much!
I used to love Coty vanilla musk and nokomis....tigress by faberge smelled really good also
I remember Faberge’s Straw Hat. I LOVED it and my mother wore it in the 60s.
Hello. I'm a new subscriber and love old perfumes. Thank you
Hi Priscila!! Welcome!! 🥰
Where did you find the original Poison? Been looking for it as my mom would wear it too and put it on me when we go to church when I was 4!
I picked mine up from an individual on Mercari. Unfortunately that or eBay are about your only option unless you are lucky enough to find one in thrift store or something. ☺️
I liked Raffinee. Old perfume, also Givency Ysatis
The original Opium. Nothing like it. Today’s Opium doesn’t hold a candle to it.
I need to get my nose on the opium that is out now as I have never smelled it! The original is the best though. 😊
Sarah Mayes In today’s version, I prefer the EDT over the EDP. But neither is as good as the original.
I agree, I loved opium and wore it in Jr. High. I have always had sophisticated taste.
The version on 2009 in a golden bottle is the most close to those amazing vintage, unfortynately is already hard to hunt
I am madly in love with L'effleur by Coty, which is discontinued... Do you know any other perfume that smell alike...??
Hi there! I love it too and I don’t know of anything that smells like it. It does say on Fragrantica that Drew Barrymore’s Radiant Flower and Replica Springtime in the Park are supposed to smell like it. ❤️🥰
@@SarahMayes 🌹
I had a college roommate that wore that and the fragrance is wonderful, strangely, it reminded me of tea.
My momma has always worn opium too. Its been her signature scent all her life
Such a comforting scent. ☺️💗
The 80’s is recent history to me
Me too!! 💗
My mom wore Poison in the 80s, too!
i loved coty vanilla musk...L... de lolita lempicka reminds me of it..
The perfume my mom wore that I remember was passion by Elizabeth Taylor. While I have a small bottle that I keep for nostalgic purposes, it did not work with my body chemistry lol
I remember all those except the Coty ,Shalimar was also widely worn as was Tresor and kenzo flower the vintage juice which I have a bottle of, nice list Sara🤩😍🦋😘
Great video. I have a question. I am 41. Once I became an adult and had my own money i went through my empty perfume bottles from my childhood and bought what I could find. Now although I love them, sometimes I feel they are old fashioned. This makes me feel sad because they bring so many memories and smell better and are much stronger than today’s fragrances. Do you ever feel that those perfumes smell like old lady perfumes? Do other people notice that or is it just in our heads? What do you think?
I do think that a lot of them smell dated but it doesn’t stop me from loving them. 🥰
Sarah Mayes
I like that
I wear what I love, regardless of when it was launched. And receive compliments 😀
You took us back with Safari!!!! OMG!
Yes! Such and oldie. 🥰
This was a walk down memory lane for me since I was a young adult at the time, and used most of the ones mentioned. So sad that the fashion houses and/or perfume houses reformulate these really advanced and beautiful fragrances. I have the original Opium Perfume in it's beautiful original flacon with jewels and tassels still hanging from it's cork, and the Opium Perfume that they sell today is nothing in comparison. One doesn't even get the vibe from why this perfume became such a hype when it was first launched. Same thing with Dior Poison, such an incredible perfume. Later introduced in all kind of varieties, but never as successful. The true vintage one was introduced in a green round bottle, and was very strong. The original Shalimar from Guerlain was a true gourmand Vanilla. Almost a little too sweet for the faint, but a beautiful scent. What they present today is simply rubbish in comparison. As with so many other well known brands and scents.
Funny you should bring out the Trussardi. I think I bought it because of the rare and "featherlike" bottle, but never liked the scent though. So very strong, and the leather was prominent as I remember it. Thank you for bringing back many of these goodies. Estée Lauder really should bring back some of their gems like e.g. Cinnabar.
I agree with everything you said. I miss perfumes like these. It makes me so nostalgic for those days. 😊 I so wish the perfume industry would start making fragrances like this again. I love collecting these old vintage bottles though. They make me so happy. Do you know what year I should be looking for to get the gourmand shalimar that you are referring to? I would die to get my hands on a bottle of it. 🙏🏻💗
Dwightinho you can buy cinnabar on Amazon. Good price,too
Estée Lauder has butchered their classics. My signature for decades was Estee. I used to call them and email them over and over, begging them to return her namesake to its original formulation. I finally gave up on them. My mother wore the dupe, which was revlon Moon Drops. Yummy!
I wore opium and cinnabar in the late 70s and early 80s. I moved on to Guerlain since there seems to be more integrity with that house and how they do reformulations. My LOVE is Mitsouko. There’s a note or two in it that reminds me of when I was younger. It is pure comfort for me. I’ve finally learned that my favorites are aldehydes and chypres. Love your channel.
My grandma wore Shisheido Zen in the black bottle and I was able to find a bottle of that a few years ago. My mom wore Emeraude when I was little. Both of these scents bring back memories. I grew up in the ‘80s and love vintage perfumes. My favourites are the original Opium, Amariage, and the original Poison ( I have 2 bottles of Poison like yours). All throughout high school I wore Navy and always asked for it at birthdays and Christmas! I remember Fire and Ice too and I think I had it as well! Is it the Outrageous shampoo/conditioner that you thought smelled like Fire and Ice? Loved the scent of that shampoo! 💕
I recently bought myself some Coty Emeraude as it brings back happy memories from my youth x
lindalou8120 where did you find it? I’d like to find a bottle for nostalgia!
@@erindianne711I bought it from Ebay in the UK...it was not expensive either x
Yes! That was the shampoo that smelled exactly like it. I wish I could remember things as well as you do!! I used to love navy. I loved Charlie white as well which I need to pick up as they still sell it. Oh the nostalgia. 🙏🏻🥰💖
lindalou8120 I will definitely check eBay out! Thanks!
I remember Avon had a perfume back in the ‘60’s called Hawaiian White Ginger. I loved it.....it reminded me of Hawaii. Does anyone know if you can still get it and where?
Hi Patricia! I haven’t ever come across that one but if I do I will let you know. 🥰
You could try ebay, but if you find it it is likely used and it will end up costing you a small fortune. You can still check and see if you have any luck.
Sarah Mayes thanks!
Hélia Alves thanks!
I’d love to find Topaz and the original Wishing from Avon.
My lovely Goldy always finds her way to the Estée Lauder counter so I can buy a bottle of Knowing, I’m having trouble finding the lotion is it discontinued?
Hey there! I am not sure if that one has been discontinued.
@@SarahMayes Hi Sarah, if you look at the short clip that I posted of Goldy it tells the story that I’m seeing at my local department stores for the Knowing line. What are you seeing around your area?
Your little girl is adorable! Love the vintage perfumes! How long does perfume last?
Hi there!! As long as perfume is stored properly it will last for years and years. There are some collectors that have bottles from the 30’s and 40’s that still smell good. 🥰
My YSL Rive Gauche in the metal can is from 1999. It’s gorgeous. I attribute it to the lack of light.
Love Tender poison. I have seen it on eBay and it's crazy expensive . it is an amazing scent.
It is expensive but it was so worth it. 🥰
@@SarahMayes great channel..💕
Mary Clancy. Wow I thought nobody else like tender poison! I saw it on Amazon,too
I really enjoyed watching this video. I look forward to watching your others. 🌈
Thank you so much!! 😍🙏🏻
Does anyone know the name of a perfume that was available from florist shops that had a floral-green fragrance? It came in a ridged square tall bottle.
Thank you!
Opium and Poison where THE scents I wore in the 80's too. In fact I wore them so much I can't stand them any more lol
Lol, that happens to me too! 🥰
Do perfumes go bad after years and years. I’ve been looking for JOY by Jean Patou.
Hi there!! No they don’t. If they are stored properly in the cool
and dark they will last for years and years. I hope that helps. 🙏🏻💗
Hi you can find it on zulily online
I just got a sample of Joy from Fragrancenet...but they didn't have any larger sizes on there. At least I'll know what it smells like.
Anyone remember Tigress by Faberge, the one with the fur cap. I can still smell it in my mind.
Sarah, in the late 50's, Coty had a perfume called Midnight! I loved it. They stopped making it, to my disappointment! Did you ever come across it?
Hi Helen! I haven’t ever come across that one. I will keep my eye out for it though! 😍🙏🏻❤️
More retro than vintage. We're not THAT old 👵🏽🤪
So true!! ❤️🥰
I have the vintage poison from back in the 80's and it's different. My bottle hasn't got atomizer and it's parfum, not eau de toilette. I think you have a latest version of it.
There are a few vintage ones.
Poison also came in edt and had an atomizer in the 80s :)
Please start listing the fragrances in the description box.
I’ve been better about it more recently but I will be sure I do on all future videos. 😊
@@SarahMayes Thank you ;) I love your videos. Also, I LOVED the original Cinnabar and held onto my bottle for the longest time. I ended up using it all and sadly hate the reformulation (like most reformulations).
Thank you so much.🥰 I’m so sad about cinnabar too. I hope I can find a vintage bottle of it at some point.
Thnx a lot Sarah. This clip is soooooo precious.
Greeting fr Thailand.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻🥰❤️
At last a sensible presenter of perfumes! Thank you Sarah! I love the vintage perfumes too. There are very few modern perfumes both women's and men's that I like. Synthetics are used nowadays and too much fruit and chocolates and, they are nauseating and an insult to our olfactory glands! Keep up the good videos! All the best...
Your daughter is adorable. 😄
Thank you! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Avon had the best 80's fragrances.
Avon is the lowest company of anything!its trash
@@bebedede1600 Nah
Avon far and away best fragrance ever
@@bebedede1600 They may be now, but in the 60s and 70s, they had some lovely, inexpensive perfumes, beautifully presented.
Nice collection...your daughter is so pretty. Xerox copy of her dad...
Thank you!! 🥰💕🙏🏻
Prince Matchabelli, White Shoulders, Shocking, Vol de Nuit, Apres l'Ondee, Diorissima, L'Inderdit.
And on.
Girl, study you must.
Will do. Lol 😊🙏🏻❤️
I liked the original Miss Dior.
What’s the white bottle called? The first one?
That one is Trussardi. 😊
I loved NUANCE , by Coty. Does anyone know what smells similar?
Oh my...where did you get Safari? The original? Loved it when I had it.
I found mine on Mercari. It was a lady selling off some of her mother’s perfumes. 😍
White Shoulders
Never heard of the first perfume u showed
if vintage perfume has ylang ylang ,totaly awsome.
From the 80’s....geez I feel old
Me too! Just turned 40 yesterday. 😩
Thank you for sharing - what an interesting video! Poison was kind of a signature fragrance for me when I was 16 - but I think I blew some people's socks off because I sprayed too much now and then..lol
Lol, yeah it’s definitely a strong, old, beautiful perfume. ☺️
Hi Sarah, My mum loved YSL opium too, I couldn’t stand it though. I was a fan of Belle d’opium though but it was discontinued. Great video 👍
I have a spray pen of Belle D’Opium and I really like that one too. ❤️
Try Poison E'spirit de parfum, it is the best.
Obsession used to be wonderful. Sadly, it actually stinks now.
I agree it now smells like cheap men's cologne. But I found a vintage partial bottle on ebay and it smells like I remember spicy and sweet pretty cool
@@janedoe3827 Yes. I have an old bottle that smells great.
2:00 dang, that bottle is huge
Oops, should have been "leatherlike"down there.
I used to use fire and ice toolol I need a bottle too haha
Girl!! You do! You can find vintage bottles in Ebay for pretty cheap. 🥰❤️
SAFARI sounds and must smell like SUMMER
Safari is so beautifully vintage. 😊

Please don't take this wrong... but... You know... you can wash that Trussardi bottle with Vim and a toothbrush... It shows up as really dirty on this video...
