I don't wear perfume. It gives me a headache, actually. But ... back in the day I layered the smelly stuff on all the time. What scents did YOU wear?

Electric Youth

I’m pretty confident an almost empty bottle remains in the upstairs medicine cabinet at my mom’s house.

I always thought that springy looking thing in the bottle was super cool!

Sunflowers

Widget_av1s5fcbrpy7q6yju8rhej

At the time, I was really into sunflowers. As room decor and t-shirt appliques. Of COURSE I got Sunflowers for some sort of gift giving holiday.

The scent, eventually, made me feel like I was going to puke. I shoved it in my Caboodle and never used it again!

Bought it for my mom for Mother’s Day… twice.

JeanNate

Admittedly, JeanNate belonged to my mom. But I would steal some every now and again.

Curve

Perfume AND a can? Nice!

Abercrombie and Fitch Cologne

Widget_aoqnkbp81kkbckfoal-los

Every single boy I had a crush on had to wear this, it was their test and if they did- I loved them forever. Or at least for the duration of highschool.

I don’t remember what it smells like! That store is too loud for me to shop in. haha. I’m OLD!

Ex'cla-ma'tion

Widget_bs44kq6e1mlrb9m0ru3566

I thought that I was THE coolest when I carried Exclamation around in my Espirit purse.

I, too, have owned a bottle of this. How did it stay underneath your bed for that long without stinking up the place? That stuff was no joke!

Preferred Stock

“Boy I hope that cute boy that I crush soooo hard on but don’t even talk to asks me to dance” choice #1.

Drakkar Noir

I still get tingly when I smells me some Drakkar Noir.

Maybe I will find a tear out thing-a-ma-jig in a magazine … you could sleep with it under your pillow.

Yep I had this too and I was soooooo cool. You can ask my mom!

Love's Baby Soft

Widget_a2q_gch11eaoysa9vsy7-w

My Big Sissy wore Baby Soft. I remember her jean jacket being all full of pins and smelling like baby powder.

I think I got an almost empty hand-me-down bottle. Boy, what a good sister!

I don’t remember wearing this! Or maybe I do, but barely.

I wore this at one point also lol! There was more than just this though.. I think there was even a jasmine one or something. I can’t really remember, it was soooo long ago!

CK1

Who didn’t wear this stuff? I had to match my CK1 jeans!

I actually had the ck sampler pack which included Eternity and Obsession too.

I never wore Obsession. But I know a lot of people who did!

haha!! CKone totally brings me back to middle school…

Clinique Happy

Widget_acqqfxjxrpij5mh7sdtzms

Ironic since “Happy” was the word used least frequently to describe me during my middle school years. Topping the list would have been Awkward, Dorky and Unphotogenic.

Add “really bad hair” to that list to describe me!

OH YEAAAAAAAAHHHH Woa and remember all the ads?!

Cool Water

Widget_cqevdzrupnvyn1gy09mvlf

Even Snoop Dog rapped about his Cool Water calogne. I wore it until someone told me I smelled like a stripper.

Vanilla Fields

Widget_b1zlcrkqlge4gxp9fcawwz

I wore this during most of high school, not sure why. It wasn’t that great smelling LOL.

I think Vanilla anything was the “go to” scent for awhile. I used to wear it too!

Why does this guide play The Spice Girls and The Titanic Theme every time I look at it?
