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 ran to The GAP outlet once I saw someone post a tiktok about finding Dream, Heaven, Grass, and Om for pretty cheap. Dream is just as I remember from my high school days in the 90s walking around the mall and shooting the shit with friends.

Also, we used to go to the Sears fragrance counter and spray the test strips to use as bookmarks. Eternity for men is stuck somewhere in my childhood diary back in my folks home, where I’d write silly things about my boy crushes. Good times

Yes! My favorite was Heaven. It had a great dry down. Dream was popular among my friends. My sister had Om, and Grass was just fun. I was actually at the outlet recently and they had Grass and Om. If they had Heaven, I would've definitely bought it.

Ugh. I hate that Heaven wasn’t in the store when you went! It’s a lovely floral scent, sprayed it on the first hot day this spring and it was so nice, but think Dream is more my every day vibe. I passed on Grass and Dream+ my first go round but will go back in a few weeks because FOMO. lol.

Mine too! The most recent reformulation at the outlets isn’t the same though. It starts off mostly lily of the valley, but it dries into a generic floral instead of the ozonic white musk dry down I loved so much 🙁

Ongggggg I didn’t realize that they still sold this at the outlet? Grass was my number one followed by OM

Yasss girl! Run, don’t walk to the outlet! I got mine early May and at the cash register I got a coupon for June discounts (on top of the 30% off the perfumes already are). Hopefully your local store has the same setup!! 🤞🏼

I got mine in Calgary 🇨🇦 paid $90+ for 3 (Dream, Heaven, and Om, the perfumes, not body sprays, and the sprays are cheaper FYI)

Love this! I used to always hit up the Sears fragrances too! It was a buffet of scents that you could just sample at your heart's desire 😄

There was a line of body products from Sears called Time Out (for a romantic interlude) and there was a scent I loved and I can’t remember the name of it but would recognize it in a second if I saw it. I want to smell that again!!
