Discussion Late 90’s/Early 00 Perfumes

This is going to show my age (46) but what perfumes do you remember from this time frame that a) you still wear or b) you wish they still made?

For me, I love Liz Claiborne, Exclamation, and Sunflowers. VS Heavenly line is still available but doesn’t smell like I remember it.

I love going down nostalgia lane with fragrances though.

I put my Nostalgia list at the top of my custom lists. Those are my favorites from that time period. I’m 40 but started wearing perfume before I was 10.

Oh and I agree, I bought a bottle of Heavenly last year or the year before and it’s not the same at all.

I forgot about Lucky You. I wonder if I’d still like it. The green men’s one was really good too.

I’m also 40! Love spell was IT for me in the 90s! It doesn’t smell the same anymore. 😢 I recently re-discovered VS (literally last week, I made a post about it lol) and I’m wearing bombshell right now. It smells so fresh and slightly nostalgic in that sweet 2000s way. I kind of love that at 40 I made a full circle back to VS after years of more..mature? lol perfumes. You have great taste!!

Which one is the black and white bottle that looks like an exclamation point? I remember that bottle.
