Oh. Em. Gee. I forgot to include Clinique Happy. What?! That one totally belongs on this list. I wore the heck out of Happy!! 😁😁😁
Happy forgives you, although she's...not amused.
I wanted to mention that 😄 I remember a group of young Americans visiting my hometown. One of the girls gifted me a sample of Happy and I was enchanted by it. I was 19 in 1998 and wore it to my workplace and got few compliments. I just found it on a website for a very good price and I ordered it because I have the feeling it will soon disappear from the market.
Totally see it!! 🥰🥰🥰
You can't wrong with a bottle of Happy!! I love that story. Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays when Happy was popular my mom gifted it to my grandmother and that's the only perfume she wore until she passed away. Ever since then every time I smell or even see Happy, I associate it with my late grandmother. I must admit though, it is a nice scent and still very popular.
When I think 90’s perfumes I think of -
Cacharel Lou Lou (came out late 80s but was a real 90s memory)
Calvin Klein CK1
Calvin Klein Eternity
Clinique Happy
Gucci Envy
Issey Miyake
Gucci Rush
Thierry Mugler Angel
Coty Exclamation (late 80s but very 90s fragrance)
JPG Classique
Givenchy Amarige
Giorgio Beverly Hills
Calvin Klein Obsession
Guerlain Samsara
Ralph Lauren Safari
Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl
Lancôme Poeme
Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds
Dolce and Gabbana (red cap)
Estée Lauder Pleasures
Wow Laura!! What a big list of beautiful perfumes!! Thanks so much for sharing. I gave my bottle of LouLou away - she was wearing me instead of the other way but now I want her back. 😆 Happy... yes! Forgot to mention that one. Who didn't have a bottle of Happy!! Love it. 💖
YES!! Tommy girl! Gosh my best friend wore that in high school. I love it!
@@VeronicaSays thank you! I wore a lot of Lou Lou, Happy and Tommy Girl in the 90’s as a teen 😊
@@Laura-yd7ve I have Lou Lou now❤️
Omg that’s right! Lancôme poeme. I had a bottle in 1999😂😂😂😂
This list brings back memories. White Diamonds ruled Texas in the 90's.
Hey my love! I bet Texas was smelling all kinds of good in both the 80s AND 90s!!!
Oh yes white diamonds!!!!!
I was at Fort Sam in 1990 for school and White Diamonds and Knowing was the 💣
White diamonds is so strong!!!😩😩😩My grandma asks for a bottle every few months tho. She loves that and Sand and Sable😂
@@naetiontv aaawww, gotta keep grandma happy. 🥰
Organza, very irresistible, Eden, pleasure, Versace red jeans, Mugler Angel, Dior dune and Beverly Hills georgio!
Great list! Yesss! 🫶🥰💖
It’s so funny to me that the pandemic brought out more passion for fragrance in so many of us than any time before hand !! A time when we were stuck inside and no one could smell us LOL It goes to show that we wear perfume for ourselves and not necessarily for complements
Loved this video and LOVE YOU 😍
I stopped buying clothes and started amping up my collections for sure!
@@jamieb7989 yea me too LOL
The pandemic has fueled online shopping and blind buying! And I LOVE it allllll! 💖💖💖
@@jamieb7989 Same here! I barely buy clothes or makeup anymore because I work from home, but my fragrance collection. We wont talk about that! HAHA
@@erinlarge5649 haha I know what you mean 💗
The best thing about 90's perfumes is
That always was unique and beast mode and of course timeless
Hi there! Oh yes, you knew they would last. It wasn't even a question! Thanks for watching. 🥰🥰🥰
Poeme, CK1 , St. John, Sunflowers, Amarige, Carolina Herreara 212, Estée Lauder Pleasures, Such an amazing decade❤️
Yes, amazing for sure! Great additions to the list. 💖🥰
My mom used to wear AMARIGE and whenever she would would leave for work it would linger in the air. I'd even sneak into her room to smell her perfumes and memorize the names and scents of each. This one was my favorite.
Oh wow, what a sweet memory. Yes, Amarige, the vintage formulation, used to fill the whole room and STAY in the air. 😁 The new formulation is still lovely but it's a tad bit more subdued. Thanks for watching!
I remember Calvin Klein Eternity, YSL Opium, and Liz Claibourne was huge in the 90s
Absolutely! Great choices 💖💖💖
I am gonna say CK1, for me, is THE 90s fragrance. It is the scent that transports me instantly to the decade.
Yessss absolutely! I still have it in my collection. 🥰 Also CK Be.
90s for me is lancome tresor. my mom wore it as I grew up in the 90s!
Absolutely! Good one. I think we all had a Tresor Lancome moment in the 90s! 🙌💖🥰
You forgot the drug store teen screams. Like Electric Youth , Vanilla Fields , Paris , Navy , Windsong ❣️
The "teen screams!" Love it. I didn't wear many of those but I did wear Navy. Thanks for watching!'💖
Givenchy needs to hire you as their PR!! Gurl….I wonder how many bottles of Amarige will be ordered after this video??!! 😂😂😂
🤣 I hadn't thought of that, but I certainly hope whoever buys it enjoys it as much as I do or they'll stop watching me after I hyped it up so much. 😬😳🤔
The 90s was the start of my love for fragrances. My early teens were Charlie Red and The Body Shop Dewberry. When I started earning my own money, I spent a LOT of time in Boots (UK) trying out all the perfumes. My favourites were CK Eternity, Eden, Aqau di Gio, Cool Water, Sun Moon & Stars and....Amarige!! I absolutely loved it and definitely need to get another bottle!
I also remember getting a bottle of Dior Poison from my Aunt and feeling like a grown woman at 16 yrs old 😂
Hi there! Yessss this all sounds very familiar! Love it. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your 90s fragrance memories. We all have Body Shop memories and it's super cool! 🙌🥰💖
Yes Poison by Dior was a coveted fragrance back then it was definitely an identity this fragrance had which was unique.
Oh my I think of Versace Red Jeans, Estee Lauder Pleasures, Sunflower, Victoria Secret Pear Glace and Amber Romance, Curve, Gucci Rush, Gucci Envy, Calvin Klien Contradiction, Eternity, Drakkar Noir, Cool Water and Happy..another great video..love these memories🙂
Yes to ALLLL of these, ESPECIALLY Pear Glacé! How could I forget that one! I recently ordered the lotions again. Man oh man! We wore this one ALLLLL the time!
Vanilla Fields, Sunflowers, Exclamation, and Avon Far Away. (Exclamation is from 88 but everything else is 90s) Those we’re my jams in addition to a few others from your list. I currently still wear Organza and just got my hands on a vintage bottle of Organza Indecence.
I adore Organza Indecence!
I would like to find a bottle of this gorgeous fragrance!
I would also like to find a Eau de Givenchy bottle!
Yes, I can't believe I forgot to include Sunflowers! Argh! And the Avon ones. You are so lucky to find a bottle of Indecence! Treasure it! Thanks so much for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Omg I wore so much exclamation
I started the decade with Exclamation/Navy/Malibu Musk, transitioned to Sunflowers, then ended up at Tresor and Romance. Tresor really defines the decade for me - alongside CK One.
Ahhh all good ones! Our daughter wears Sunflowers now and it brings back SUCH memories! Tresor is a beauty. I didn't appreciate Tresor back in the day, but I do now. Thanks for watching Heather! 💖💖💖
I forgot about exclamation! That was one of my very first perfumes! I was 10 or 11 years old:)
Yes, 90’s! Some of the best fragrances! Ysatis by Givenchy, Paloma Picasso are just a few that come to mind.
Yes I loved those.
Hey love! Never wore Ysatis and just got Paloma Picasso because of all of the great comments in the 80s video. I got both the EDT and EDP. 🥳🥳🥳
Omg I had forgotten about Ysatis! I used to alternate between Amarige, Ysatis, & (does anyone else remember this one as fondly as I do?) Prescriptives Calyx. I still have a bottle of Amarige because I've rebought it like 6 times, but I may need to hunt down the others!
@@RGJenn yes! Calyx! Really liked that one ☝️
Ysastis is a gorgeous perfume
Recently I tested Red Door for nostalgia’s sake, and it’s still as strong as I remember. Might be a good option for people annoyed by today’s watered down perfumes. Really potent- even on a tester strip!
You make a good point. For people who need something potent, Red Door is a great option! 👌👌👌
EDEN is one of my all-time-favourites:
The green beast and also the beautiful fairy!
This was my signature in the 90ies. Some people hate it because it is not at all mainstream.
An Alien in the scent world 💚
Oh I love that description - an Alien in the scent world! That's perfect. 👍👍👍
You know how much I love these blasts from the past 🤩
Yessss me too! 😘😘😘
Laura Biagotti Roma (launched in the 80’s) but I found it in the 90’s and Versace Yellow Jeans…both still my all time faves but Yellow Jeans sadly is gone from the face of the earth🥲 I do have Roma still in my wardrobe🇮🇹
Hi Tammy! I actually HAVE Roma and it's LOVELY! Underrated gem if you ask me. You might be able to find that Versace on ebay. Thanks so much for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
I never wore fragrance, really. But for Christmas in 1992 (I was in the 8th grade), my mother bought me Avon’s Lahana. To this day it is my own personal 1990’s scent!
Isn't that lovely! 🥰💖 Avon was definitely a staple of the 80s and 90s fragrance world. 💯
I loved Lahana!! 🙌
@@laceyr_8322 my husband bought me a vintage bottle off of eBay for Christmas - it’s a bit more powdery than I remember. But I’ll say that Chanel No.5 completely ruined any form of “powder” for me, so I can smell it in everything. Lahana’s still so lovely though!
Lancôme Poeme, Donna Karen Cashmere Mist and Cool Water for women were my 90’s jam. I also had Gap Heaven and a few I don’t exactly remember.
Yes! My mom wore cool water and I’d go sneak it (I was born in 85) but I was obsessed with all the Gap scents.
Oh my goodness!! I used to LOVE the Gap grass sent. Was there one called Heaven or Sky? Oh the memories! 😁😁😁
@@VeronicaSays yea! Heaven and Dream were my faves from Gap.
@@jamieb7989 aw yes, Dream. 👌
In a 90's kinda world, I'm glad I got my.. Perfume! I love Amarige💜💜💜💜 as an adult getting into perfumes, I discovered Amarige. I saw it, but didn't know anyone that wore it or talked about it. Great video!
Kia, Amarige is so lovely!! Glad you discovered it and enjoy it. 🥰 Thanks for watching my friend! 💖💖💖
Yummy I almost purchased Amarige again... my daughter turned up her nose so I left it on the shelf. I might go back when she's not watching.😂😂😂
Go 👏🏼 Buy 👏🏼 It 👏🏼 😂😂😂
Very nice video, I love perfumes from the 90s..! 😊👍💞
My favorite are: Tresor( I still use) Poeme, Dune, Dolce Vita, Amarige, Organza, Cerruti 1881, Samsara, Eternity, Eden... They are all beautiful and unique ..❤💞
Thank you!
Wow that is quite a powerhouse list! How lovely. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Omgoodness yes Poeme, I forgot that on my list.❤
One and Be were major game-changers! I used One in my college years too. But it is a fragrance I could never smell on myself today. I owned white musk and I found a bottle of the vintage juice on ebay but it wasn't as great as I remembered! I loved Escape in both the womens and mens. I had so many girlfriends who loved clinique happy and givenchy amarige. At some point I wore Carolina Herrera's 212 in the silver pill bottle. I remember flying through bottles of it. Design and Cashmere Mist also scream 90s!💗
Ah yes! 212 and Cashmere Mist bring back so many memories! 🥰💖 I still like to sniff CK One and Be. I have ambitions of still wearing them! 😄
I was doing some HEAVY gardening when a neighbor walked by. She said you are so into that work, and it is hot out here, yet you smell SO GOOD,a I had the Escape copy on. It was a cheapie, but SO nice!
Love the video! Sunflowers from Elizabeth Arden was what I wore most in the 90’s. That was my college days perfume. I remember when CK One came out too. It seems like everybody was wearing in back in the 90’s
sunflowers is still very beautiful and long lasting, not to mention the super low price
Oh yessss, I cannot BELIEVE that I forgot to mention Sunflowers. Definitely should be on the list! I wore the heck out of it. 💖💖💖
Ah, Sunflowers is/was gorgeous!
Oooh I loved Amarige. I was surprised you never mentioned Eternity - I DROWNED myself in Eternity for years! Also I loved New West and was gutted when it was discontinued.
Hey Lara! Oh I do mention Eternity but in the 80s video. I drowned myself in it too! Imagine?! 😁😳🥴 I have been on the hunt for a New West alternative for years. Nothing comes close. 😔
@@VeronicaSays - oh, I wore it in the 90s, so I was late to that party. New West was such a great perfume.
Le Bain is such a beautiful fragrance! I find it super comforting 😍
It is verrrrrry comforting! Thank you for watching Chantel! 😘😘😘
Vanilla Fields and Skin Musk. Vanilla FIelds was my HOLY GRAIL in the 90s. My sister wore Skin Musk daily.
Hi Susanna! Oh yes! Vanilla Fields was a whole vibe back then! 😁 I don't think I've ever smelled Skin Musk.
This is fabulous - love a trip down memory lane and I haven't smelled many of these! Fabulous video, V!!!😍😍😍LOVED IT!!!
Thank you Joss! It's wonderful how fragrance and memories are so closely associated! 👍👍👍
Like you said in your pinned comment, Clinique Happy...I was OBSESSED! This series is so FUN. Thank you for doing it!!
Hi Heather!! Right?! Who didn't wear Clinique Happy??? What a fun fragrance. Thanks for watching!!
I immediately think of Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue and Calyx by Prescriptives!
Yes! Both are great! 🥰💖
The very late 80’s and 90’s was when I began my fragrance journey. So many scent memories from this time and so many scents that I still keep in my collection and always will! Lots of them mentioned here. So much fun. Great video! ✌🏽🥳♥️
Thanks Richard! 💖 Same for me. I know we share a lot of the same fragrances from this time period. It's fun to pull them back out and remember! 💯
Pleasures was my “grown up “ perfume that made me realize coty was not the only perfumers lol 😂 I used to buy the inspired versions of CK! Girl Jovan is still on my shelf love the musk it’s so nice to go down memory lane some fragrances really brings back memories ❤️ love this video you look beautiful as always ✨
Recently got a sample of MFK Amyris Femme and it’s identical to Estée Lauder Pleasures!
Oh really? Wow! Never heard anyone compare those two, thank you!!!
Thank you Sunny!! 💖 Oh yeah, Pleasures was the grown up scent without going overboard, right? I love it. And listen, Jovan is still killing it these days! 👌👌👌
Holy cow, when I think of the 90’s and what I was wearing, Sun Moon Stars, Cierra, Samsara, a bunch of VS stuff like Strawberries and Champagne, Lovespell and from Bath and Bodyworks I loved Twilight Woods but my favorite was Sensual Amber EDP. Then, I found my signature scent!! It was Victoria Sectrets Dream Angel’s Heavenly. I wore the shit out of that and I wish I still had it!!
That's a lot of strong 90s scents! I still own a partial bottle of Heavenly for old time's sake. I wore it often too, but later in my late 20s and 30s. I thought I was SEXY!! 😂😂😂
Girl YESSSSS!
Finally some Amarige love on Frag RUclips!
I have been wearing this since I was 16, and it is my signature. Glad I watched until the end.
I knew I liked your vibe.
Hi Ginger!! 🥳🥳🥳 Absolutely! Such a beauty 🙌🙌🙌
LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!!!
Thank you sooo much! 😊😊😊
You always make me chuckle Veronica, I love your videos. I was (extremely!) late to the game and only started wearing L'eau d'Issey last year. Whoa its strong for an EDT but beautiful. Your bottle has lasted well. Pleasures was my scent in the 90's. I had my children in the 90's so my memories re fragrance in that decade are lost in a baby haze!
Hey there, thank you soooo much!! 🥰 Glad you enjoy my videos. Yes my Issey bottle has done well through the years. I really love it! 💖
I love fragrances that transport me back in time! My mother and aunts always wore Calvin Klein Eternity, Elizabeth Taylor Passion and Chanel n.5
Hi Maria! Me too! The power of smell and its connection to memories!! I remember my mom and aunts wearing so many of these. 😊😊😊
I love this concept. Absolutely LOVED Clinique Happy and Estee Lauder Knowing.
Thank you! Those are two classic fragrances! 💖
Love these videos Veronica! 💖💕❤️
Thank you soooo much! 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so glad I found you. Your top three are my top three! I wore Amarige when I got married.
No kidding?! 💖 That's awesome! Amarige is so special. 🤩🤩🤩 Welcome to my little corner of RUclips! 🥰🥰🥰
I love that you mentioned Safari, I always coveted it when I worked at a perfume counter for Christmas at a local department store, but my money was always going into Chanel fragrances or YSL as I could only afford one special fragrance at a time. I recently purchased a bottle at a great price and still love it, reminds me of a modern classic. Other 90s favourites of mine were Noa by Cacharel, Gucci Envy, Amarige... I feel like there were some huge Chanel fragrances too, but they may have been 00s
Hi Bea! Yes, Safari is a forgotten gem. I really enjoy it! Maybe it will be my scent of the day today! 🥰
Thank you Veronica for this wonderful video!
Thank you so much for watching! 💖
I Friggen LOVE these videos!! Love ur Channel!! Ck One and CK Be!! 2 I ALWAYS wore!! Ill def be buying both again soon bc of this video!!
Thank you so much! These two fragrances can be found for very inexpensive on fragrancenet.com
I love the 90s. You nailed this video and the list!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jay! What is your fave 90s fragrance?
@@VeronicaSays You covered a lot of the fragrance I would’ve picked. I think CK One defined that decade. I would add the late 90s classic Clinique Happy.
Definitely! Can't believe I forgot Happy! 🤦♀️
Girl…, I’m not able to think about the 90s without Ysatis, Curve, Samsara, Calech, Wings, Elysium and Bijan. So many of the scents on your list were ones that women around me wore. I was working in a big city hotel in the 90s so even if I wasn’t wearing it, someone I worked with or a guest was waving their scent flag in my direction. Such good memories. Thank you.
Ahhhh yes!! I remember Curve and Wings! 😄 Scent flag... 😂 I love that! I can imagine all these clouds of strong perfume around you in the hotel. Thanks for sharing your memory! 💖💖💖
Yes I wore the heck out of Curve and Bijan. I still love Bijan!
Wings was my high school fragrance. I have great memories of it.
I really liked Curve. It came in different color bottles
There were some strong fragrances in the 90s! I remember being enchanted by the perfume counters as a kid. 😍 This was awesome! I didn't know about some of these!
Thanks so much! 💖 Yes the perfume counter was a grown up wonderland when I was young. Fond memories!
Ohhh my gosh this was so much fun. A trip down memory lane ❤
Hi Sherry! Glad you enjoyed it. 💖💖💖
I just bought amarige for the first time a few months ago and I had never smelled it before but I was blown away. It’s beautiful and it lasts.
Oh yeassssss! Amarige is one of my all time faves. Nothing else like it out there (that I know of). 🤯💖💯
It’s a beast of a perfume!
@@showmustgoon5311 it sure is. Very lasting more than most perfumes.
I remember Pleasures so well ! Everyone was wearing that one ,of course Eternity came out in 88 but reminds me of the 90s
And also a couple of Eternity flankers, a light blue one, and a pretty light purple one. I had all 3 in a row on my bathroom counter, and my 3 sons during that time remember me always smelling good. Happy was next to them too.
Eternity and all of its flankers remained alive and kicking through to today!!
@@VeronicaSays that says volumes about this amazing house of fragrances
Sure does!
Thanks for bringing back memories of fragrances I haven't smelled in decades Nude by Bill Blass and Safari by Ralph Lauren, I could smell them when you were talking about them ✌️♥️
Oh how wonderful! 💕🥰 Glad you could take the trip down memory lane with me. 💖
I enjjjjjooooyyyyedddd the 90s perfume!! You brought back nice memories!!!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed this video! 💖💖💖
Omg what a trip to memory lane! My absolute faves: Amarige, L’eau D’Issey and Escape and I wear them till today. Amarige and Escape are some of the fragrances that bring me more compliments! The only fragrance I could find “similar” to Amarige to a certain extent is Oud Jaune Intense by FDB, not similar on a dupe level but there are some similarities there although Amarige projects wayyy more 🤩💕🥰
Awww thanks for watching Giselle. Okay, I definitely need to check out Oud Jaune Intense! Anything close to Amarige is worth sniffing. Escape is such a beauty - another one so unique that you know it anywhere. 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays Exactly Escape is so so unique! I got a vintage version Made in France oh my....if you have a chance to try the Made in France version you wont't regret💖💖 Yes Oud Jaune Intense is the closest fragrance to Amarige I could find. Amarige is so unique that it's really hard to compare with anything, (actually I find older fragrances way more unique than modern fragrances) but Oud Jaune Intense has some similarities to me💖.
Great video Veronica. Bring back so many memories of the fragrance the ladies in my family wore...
Avon Timeless
Liz Claiborne
Cindy Adam Gossip
Alfred Sung Sung
Calvin Klein Obsession and Eternity
Exclamation Blush by Coty
Thanks so much Sonyia! Oh yeah! That's quite a list! I tried to wear Sung and just couldn't get along with it, but I can see it working really well on others. Thanks so much for watching! 💖💖💖
So many memories with this video Veronica! So many stories I could come up with many of these! Not always positive ones though… 😂
Uh oh!! Maybe one day we'll chat and you'll share! Hopefully nothing really awful though.
Im probably watching this for the second time. The 90s gave birth to so many amazing fragrances. Almost 80% of my vintage collection! Wore Amarige, Hugo Boss, White Linen.. I could go on......
Great video!!
Thanks for watching again! So many vintage gems to explore. The 90s were great for perfume, as were the 80s.
Dune is a masterpiece!! It's so timeless to me.very unique scent
I agree! Quite unique and memorable! 💖🥰
Beautiful.
I loved Bill Blass the OG, also used Poison, Pleasures,Wings, Escape,Dune, Paris, I used so many, love your videos bring on the memories ❤
Hi Mary!! I was actually eyeballing some vintage Bill Blass fragrances today. Wings!! I forgot to mention that one. Oh wow! The memories! 💖💖💖
Omg! Paris! That was my going out clubbing perfume.
Yes! I came in here to remember the name of the perfume I bought for my wedding!!! I knew it was a man's name and low and behold I saw it---Bill Blass!!!!
Omg Pleasures by E Lauder ! I loved it so much 😍😍😍🌸🌸
Right?! Rather unique. I know the smell anywhere! 💖💖💖
Ooh! I'm excited to watch this! 😊I'm mainly a 90's kid I guess. I spent most of my wonder years in the 90's. 😊Oh, I remember CK One, CK Escape, Elizabeth Red Door, and of course Ralph Lauren Safari! 🤩🤩🤩She's my baby! ❤️❤️❤️You know that I love that fragrance! 😍It was my signature scent in the early 2000s. 😊It smells exotic! I can smell the Tagetes (Marigold)! I love Amarige! 🤩
Yes, sounds like you were into some good ones even back then!! Ahhh Safari! Such a unique and lovely one! 💖💖💖 Thanks for watching and enjoying this blast into the past with me! 😘😘😘
In the 90s I started wearing fragrances. As a 13yr old boy I saved up for a small bottle of Coolwater. Since then fragrances have been part of what I put on. My top 3 90s fragrances
1. CoolWater
2. Green Polo
3. Escape for men
I still go for designer stuff. Tried niche stuff but it's just not my thing. In my rotation now Armani Stronger with You, Armani Aqua di Gio profumo, Chanel Allure homme sport and Chanel Bleu de Chanel..... also I must admit I bought Coolwater Intense recently. Its actually pretty good. Nothing like original Coolwater but it's good in its own right. Shoulda been called SweetWater honestly. Its mandrin, coconut, and amber. Amazing stuff.
Yes!!! Hi there, 90s fragrance lover! Cool Water, Green Polo, and Escape for men - cannot go wrong with these. I love designer fragrances!! There are some beautiful designer fragrances for sure. 🥰 Thanks for watching! 💖
No L’eau D’Issey? That was another 90s banger!
I love Joop Le Bain, big compliment getter for me ☺
Yes, you and I share a love for that beautiful little bottle. 💖💖💖
Hey Veronica🙂, Organza was one that I wore the heck out of. I also remember buying Oscar de la Renta So de la Renta when it came out in 93 or 94. I still have that one, but I can't really wear it now. And Pleasures of course. What a beautiful fragrance. Great video👍👍
Thank you so much! 💖 Isn't it amazing how we can wear something happily in one decade and it's too much in the next (or vice versa)?
Organza was my signature scent in the 90s...love it!
That one is a real powerhouse! 👏💖🥰🥳
My favorite fragrance from the 90s was Gio de Giorgio Armani. I am so sad that they have discontinued it :(
Ah yes! How unfortunate. Thanks so much for watching! 💖💖💖
Try Montale gold flowers!, This is Gio😜
You can still find Acqua di Gio out there, thankfully.
My boyfriend bought me Issey M at 22 years old and I’ve been wearing it since. It’s my favorite on men as well ❤️❤️❤️
NIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!
Yesssss! The Issey fragrances are awesome. This one, L'eau de Issey, has stood the test of time. 👍👍👍
You nailed it! My friends, family, and I wore almost all of these! That Jovan White Musk is one of my most complimented scents of all time, and is still being duped (CSP Musc Cristal and Invisible Musc by Juliette has a Gun tried but the OG is still better, IMO). I still enjoy so many of them! Amarige will always be a favorite. Even though it has a cornucopia of fruity and floral notes, it comes across on my skin singularly as floral honey - I love it! Great video!
Thank you! 🥰💖 Ooooh floral honey! Love that description. And yes, the original musk - Jovan! 😄😄😄
What a fun video! Really enjoyed your take on all these - thank you! The RUclips fragrance world is saturated with takes on the modern stuff so this type of video is a very welcome change. Btw, I was a poor grad student back in the late 80s and 90s, so my TA's budget only allowed the poor woman's go tos - Jovan Musk Cologne and Vanilla Fields! I still have a nostalgia for those but now I can go back and try all this good stuff I missed out on then - for the first time!
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖 Let me tell you, it can be soooo fun revisiting fragrances from the past. The rush of memories can be profound too! 💯
Yes! Organza! I bought it when I was 22. That’s about 20 years ago. I, of course, adored it for a long time, eyeing the add of a very elegant woman in a white evening dress. To me it symbolized elegance, beauty and adulthood (but like what being an adult means to a 20 year old kid). Very enticing! So I remember loving it and hating it when I finally got it. It gave me awful headaches, but the scent itself was heavenly for me! I need to repurchase it. Also, Amarige is so great also! Must get that one also. A unique and unforgettable smell. I actually bought a flanker of it in the 90s, called Amarige D’Amour. Also a beautiful perfume! Thank you for taking me down a memory lane to the 90s. 💖🦋✨🌟🎆
Hi there! Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed the video! 💖 I love your comment and about what we "thought" was elegant in our more youthful days. I totally get what you mean by that! Organza can be very headache inducing so you have to be in the mood for it and spray lightly for sure. Amarige is just divine. So super lovely! I really enjoy it as you can tell. 😁
@@VeronicaSays yes, I just have to spray Organza lightly :)). I still love it though, and can’t wait to add it back to my collection along with Amarige, of course! Classics will never be out of fashion. 💐😃
Classics are ALWAYS in style! 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays 👍
When I was in my late teens i'd wait until my cousin left for work then use her Beautiful- Estee Lauder. The best part is when I opened the door for in the evening I'd press myself against the wall not breathing just incase she got a whiff of me using her perfume.
As a proud owner of Beautiful now, I think back to those times & just laugh thinking how tolerant she was of me. Who was I kidding, I mean my current reformulated bottle can be smelt 10feet away.
Oh my goodness. The image of someone pressing themselves against a wall, not breathing, and hoping not to have their perfume noticed! Wow. 💖💖💖
I love Amarige, it’s one of my favourites! I discovered it a few years ago and I loved it ever since. I’ve never smelled another perfume like it! 🌼🌸🌼
Hi Jennifer! I agree! Beautiful and unique. I adore it! 🥰
My favorite was Contradiction and I still absolutely love it and Amarige!! ❤
Hi Tina! Thanks for watching and sharing your top picks! Amarige is an all-time fave of mine too! 💖💖💖
Clarins Eau Dynamisante was my "90s" scent Ha!
Oh yeah! Never smelled it but I hear wonderful things about it! 🥰
I would die for having back Cacharel´s GLORIA and Eden LÉau those are my TOP Ones from that era! #Cacharel
Hi Marcela! 💖🥰 Awesome, thanks for sharing these two names with us.
Yes, I had a bottle of Eden L'Eau in 1998! 🙌
Babe you took me back ! I used to wear Dune so much ! And I’m going to add Lou Lou ! Wow such a treat down memory lane ! Pleasures didn’t bring the best memories for me but they are still memories ! I loved this video girl ! Love u mama 😍🥰
Love you back boo. Glad you enjoyed this little journey back in time!!! One day I want to hear the story behind Pleasures. 😉
@@VeronicaSays hahahaha one day soon
I’ve purchased so many perfumes thanks to your recommendations. I love your taste, vibe and perfume selection. I binge watch you all the time 😁🤭💖
Such a heartwarming message! Thank you so very much. 💖🥰💖🥰
I still wear Nude and Dune. Poison was my pick in the 90’s, I was way to young to pull it off though.🙂 I can’t imagine smelling it on a teenager these days.
Oh Angie! Don't I know what you're saying!! I was trying to hard to smell all grown up in both the 80s and the 90s with these very mature fragrances. 😂🤦♀️
Poison was released in the mid 80s but was still one of the best in the 90s and I’d say current times as well
I wore my Eden today, cause i was meeting my old friend and i wanted to see if she would recodnice my old signature scent from my teens. She did and she said «thats really suttle» 🤣. Which i think we all can agree its not
I mean subtle? I have no idea….
Oh my goodness! I love this. Your friend was either being polite or has lost her sense of smell. 😁😁😁 How did you feel wearing it? Did you still enjoy it?
@@VeronicaSays well, i went home, took a shower and oversprayed it again like theres no tomorrow. Now Im choking, but yess- i do still love this. It sure is uniqe!
🤣🤣🤣 Get some fresh air!
@@VeronicaSays do i dare go out in the sun?😬
Great video! My grown up perfume when I started my journey in the 90s were Sunflowers, Gucci rush, Issey Miyake, Chanel 22 in the white packaging,and Chanel no 5 in black packaging.
Thank you and thanks for sharing some of your first old school perfumes! 💖🥰
In the 90's, I was wearing Sand & Sable when it came in a frosted shell 🐚 bottle, Rochas Tocadilly, Benetton Hot, Byblos, Clinique Happy, Revlon She, Inis Energy of the sea which you could buy overseas, then I got into Ck One (CLASSIC!), Tommy Girl, Love Spell, and Sun-Ripened Raspberry by Bath and Body Works. I really adore Jovan White Musk, reminds me of my Mother! Least favorites from the 90's were Fahrenheit for men, Red Door, Angel, and Eden. BB Nude is a special one, I did not appreciate it then but I do now🤓🥰
Wow! What a blast from the past reading through your list. Thanks for sharing! Yes, Red Door was overwhelming 😆
Calvin Klein RULED the 90’s, my sister would also use Alyssa Ashley Musk
Right?! Absolutely 💯 those musk fragrances were also very popular. Thanks so much for watching.
Yessssssss definitely some great times 🥰 Ralph Lauren ROMANCE, Escada, Donna Karen Cashmere ❤️❤️❤️
Oh yeah Romance!! Cashmere Mist!! Good ones! 💖💖💖
Omg Ralph Lauren romance is such a gorgeous scent!
Omgawddddd this brings up so many memories.
Folks I totally forgot Bob Mackie. I rocked that cute set with the lipstick case and the sachet for the cute bottle.❤
No kidding?! 😯 I love that! 💖💖💖
Aaaaaah: SAFARI 😍
I bought a vintage bottle from 1992 last week: marvellous!
Oh you are so lucky to have a vintage bottle!!
Good Morning ! ☕️
Watching this again ! 😁
Hola Paola! 💖💖💖
Thank you for the walk down memory lane .i still have many of those fragrence and some other 90s gems.wen u wear organza go light with it its a beautiful scent but go lightly it lasts forever to
Thank you dear!💖💖💖 Yes Organza is ATOMIC 🤯
Hey, Veronica.
Very nice video, it reminds me of moving from the northern part of my country to the south where I 've been living for the last 28 years!
I remember when I had smelled L'Eau D'Issey by Miyake, it was so fresh so youthful, I had first smelt it on a young waitress at a club and I was obsessed with it. I bought , it wore it and enjoyed it.
I was also wearing Ysatis( there's still some perfume in the bottle), I still find it so heavy now.
Dune was really something else. I still have the bottle which had no atomizer, you just took off the lid and put on the fragrance, so you had to be very careful not to drop the bottle!
I have a mini Rumba and I like it.
My everlasting love is Dolce Via by Dior, I 've gone through bottles of this one. Currently I have a 30 ml bottle. I adore this fragrance.
You brought so many memories back...
Thanks for sharing.
Lovely! It's amazing how smells can take us back to these memories of yesterday. I never wore Ysatis but I imagine it is quite strong. L'eau D'Issey has withstood the test of time! Still gorgeous even among today's favorites. Thanks so much for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
i watched this again and i remember anais anais.. it still smells good..
Yes that's a biggest powerhouse fragrance too! Thanks for watching twice. 💖💖💖
Loved Dune. Fabulous!
It's an obsession! 🥰🥰🥰
So many memories here!! Gap OM is 90s all the way for me. All those gap body sprays too. Loved them all. Tresor, Cashmere Mist, White Diamonds, Safari, 5th avenue, Vanilla lace, fire & ice, Poeme, Amarige, Charlie red. I remember Mesmerize a lot because my aunty loved it and Avon Far away. transitions from the 90s - 2000s, for me, were Contradiction, D&G By, Versace Versus, Hypnotic poison, Angel, Gucci Rush and many more. such a good video
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 What a great bunch of fragrances you've listed! Oh the memories! 🎉🌟
Vanilla fields and sunflowers were my 90’s signatures lol, before bath and body works hit the scene.
I was in junior high/high school during that decade, so I was all about value! Lol
Charlie white was another.
My mother always wore Mackie by bob Mackie
Oooooh girl! I have Mackie now. Haven't worn it - it's strong! I'm waiting for winter. Yes, it was all about being economical then. I hear you! Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Fun video! I think of J’adore, Happy, and Ralph Lauren romance.
Thank you! I wore Happy and Romance also. 💖🥰
Fragrances that make me think about the 90’s, are Incognito, Carl legerfeld sun moon and stars (loved this one) pleasures, rapture from Victoria’s Secret, and amarige!!!!❤️❤️🙌 Love this vid btw, I was a teenager in the 90’s and it really takes me back to the good ole days!!
My best friend in the 90’s and still my best friend wore amariage in the 90’s and to this day!! It’s a beautiful fragrance!!❤️❤️
Hi Melissa! Glad you enjoyed the trip to the past. Oh my goodness! RAPTURE!! Forgot about that one! Wow, I used to LOVE looking through the VS catalogue. 💖💖💖
Wow, your trip to South Africa sounds amazing. I’d love to go on a Safari 😍
It was an other-wordly experience. You must do it some say! Either Kenya/Tanzania or South Africa.
Davidoff Cool water!
Great video - bought back a lot of memories 😊
Cool Water! Wow! The memories. Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰
When I worked for Dior the only people who bought Tendre Poison (still one of the strangest fragrances I've ever smelled) were the Chinese tourists and exchange students. :D It hit the blind spot of every person who approached the counter otherwise, ahaha. Thank you for this video, I felt like I was on drugs the whole way through-- vintage fragrance related content and discussion about our personal cultural memories around all these retro-throwbacks make me genuinely happy. I'm not even going to begin listing the fragrances I wore or which were popular where I lived in the 1990s. What I WILL say, is that the young folks of today have NO IDEA how incredibly lively, characterful and potent fragrances can be. Everything had sillage, tenacity and that impossible to describe sparkle and 'fullness of character' which is absent in the year 2022. I have no idea why (aside from IFRA's dominance), I just know that I'm not imagining things. Things were just different back then: perfume= great performance and character; make up= terrible. Er, that first launch of Revlon Colorstay foundation anyone? It was like smearing your face with quick drying clay. The quickest way to freak someone out was 'do' their eyebrows for them. Pencil, expert powder application, completely natural well groomed finish-- forget it, anything on the eyebrows made most women intensely uncomfortable and self-conscious as if everybody was staring at their theatrical twin slugs. You coudn't convince them otherwise. Brows were not a 'thing' in the 1990s. Neither was winged liquid liner or fake eyelashes. Not 1990s make up staples at all. Oh I miss fragrances really BRINGING IT, y'know.... *sighs* Thanks Veronica for this SUPER fun video.
Thanks so much! Theatrical slugs. 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious! Regarding potency of fragrances, you are exactly right - nothing like the powerhouses of yesteryear. Keep in mind though that one other factor working against us is that sense of smell dulls with age. It's a medical fact.
@@VeronicaSays I will be that one in a million medical marvel and fight biological reality! YAAARHHHHRR! I won't go down with the ship I tell you-- my nostrils will flair above the crashing waves until the very last!
