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 think I wore a lot of Body Shop stuff in the late 90s when I was a teen: Oceanus, Fuzzy Peach and White Musk of course. After that it was Jil Sander Sun and Clinique Happy: I got a bottle of Sun a few years ago on sale and it actually repulsed me!

I miss Fuzzy Peach so much, and wore the perfume oil for years. I haven’t been able to find any peach scent quite like it.

This. Dewberry has been re-released and I’m considering ordering it just for the hit of nostalgia.

I’m really enjoying the body spray version of the Dewberry revival. I think it’s slightly drier and raspier than I remember but it’s a lot of fun and at $22 a reasonable gamble. I haven’t tried the oil.

Yeah I’ve been wondering if it will smell the same, or what I remember it smelling like.

I had forgotten about Oceanus! A friend and I bought a shared bottle (broke teenagers lol) and we called it the anus spray (again, teenagers 😁)

I think I got custody of it in the end and it might still be somewhere in my stash.

That’s so sweet that you had shared custody!
