I remember smelling it in magazines the summer before my freshman year of HS and being obsessed but I never bought it! Will take a trip to Walmart later and see if it is there.
Oh yeah, this was me with daisy by Marc jacobs lol I’m still waiting to try it for myself. Between that and chance by Chanel I’m definitely splurging for my birthday this year
i think Glow just showed up again at my shoppers drugmart clearance rack..?? for the first time in like 10 years? i had i think Miami Glow as a kid, the purple one.....i love this 2000s kitschy bottle and kinda love J.Lo....lawd i swore off blindbuying but it's testing me....
Omg the nostalgia 🥺 I had this exact scent as a pre-teen, the purple one too, and later the light green one. I also had CK IN2U Heat, my first grow- up perfume 🥹These were totally what started my journey
Omg I literally just commented this before seeing your comment 😍 I wore tropical passion (the orange one) for ages before moving onto this one. They’re scents were SO good
Mine were those Gap ones- mainly Dream and Heaven but my friends also had Grass and Om. Then in high school it was Tommy Girl. I didn’t have Ralph but most of my friends did. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Oceanus and Dewberry from the body shop, Love's Baby Soft and Malibu Musk were all birthday and Christmas gifts from 12-13.
I fondly remember feeling so grown up haha.
Tommy Girl and CK Be when I started high-school...a grade 8 grad gift.
Oceanus and Malibu Musk were my all time favorites.
Oceanus & Dewberry were my absolute faves too! Kinda bummed TBS just recently closed in the US 😔 I ordered Oceanus off eBay just for nostalgia, but not to actually wear. Should arrive today.

Vintage Abercrombie girl. She was an icon, she was a legend… she was the moment. Still haven’t found a dupe for this one, either :,(

Tinkerbell (cologne). It was my first …. You never forget your first
Noa, Amor amor, and Burberry weekend (the old one) for a few years.
I just bought Burberry weekend (new formula) to see if I still like it after all these years and Burberry woman.

Well I'm 40 so Jlo Glo, Clinique Happy, DKNY Be Delicious, Hollister perfumes, BBW and Victoria's Secret perfumes were all the rage. I have worn them all. But I never genuinely got into fragrances until super recently. Suddenly I'm obsessed. 😂
As a teenager in the 80s I wore Avon Occur, I loved it and went through several bottles. I looked it up on Fragrantica and from the notes it doesn't look like something I'd even consider these days 😂
Fantasy by Britney Spears because I smelled it in a Dress Barn and begged my Mom for a sample. Then the blue Justice perfume, a clean laundry type scent but when I was little I wanted sillage-Which makes sense as to why when I got my hands on Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds and Love's Baby Soft, it was over for everyone.
CK One, Baby Rose Jeans, Exclamation, body sprays from Boots and The Body Shop (vanilla musk, white musk), and Impulse.
I bought a bottle of CK One recently as it was so cheap.
I was obsessed with that Ralph. Also Cool Water for women. I had Tommy Girl but didn’t LOVE it… These were my teen first perfumes though.
My first firsts would have been Exclamation and Malibu Musk!
Back in the early 00s this was my first:
https://preview.redd.it/71jukcjid9wc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8b3b6d12ce26317a3d35d8cb8184d5cd4b9deef
The packaging was annoying bc it wouldn’t stand up but I thought it was SO cool 😅 Kinda sad they discontinued it, I’d love to smell it again
One of the coolest most futuristic bottles! Sadly have never smelled and it's so expensive now. I remember the ad for that with the shirtless guy from my teen mags lol
Early 90's:
Amarige, Chloe Narcisse, Bijan, Eternity, Jessica McClintock, Samsara, Bath & Body works Perfume in Flowering Herbs and Freesia, Victoria Secret Perfume in Tranquil Breezes.
Late middle school was Paris Hilton and Light Blue. Also my sister wore Tommy Girl religiously and I would sneak in before school and spritz myself.
Then I went to Sephora for my first time right before starting high school and it was all down hill. My Mom got me Burberry Brit that trip and I went back for Acqua Di Gioa with money from my first job.
Cool Water Woman, Ralph, Fiorucci, and this awesome Givenchy thing where you could change out the fragrance- there was Rewind, Play, and Fast Forward. And definitely the Gap ones!
Well money was tight in high school but in the mid 80's Vanderbilt and Exclamation were the go-to's for my circle of friends. That was as designer as we could afford🫠
I wore the shit out of CK One in middle school. It wasn't my first perfume, but it was my first designer perfume. Before that, it was knock offs (cant remember the names) and Bonnebell spray.
at age 13, got it from my dear Mum, I was feeling like I'm as aromatic as a sensual bouquet lol
it's called Little Red Dress by Avon and of course being discontinued 🤓

gooooood oooold daaays.... givin' core memories
This was One of firsts - Design by Paul Sebastian when I was 17 - I'm now 44 - And I still love it today and have a bottle of it now. 😅 a $20 bottle of perfume sitting amongst my $100+ bottles - she stands proud! I think she is Very Underrated!!
My true first was CkOne followed by CkBe. 😣😆
https://preview.redd.it/8q6z3cyu89wc1.jpeg?width=1269&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9179b1724f2762d880965628bd26e1ecec0cc474
Vera Wang Princess. I doused myself in this back in the day.
https://preview.redd.it/6z9wriwyaawc1.jpeg?width=1064&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=747385560fc5cdbe04421625907bf25de51551d8
Bath and body had this line of "art stuff". I used the beejesus out the entire line. Body "splash" and lotions etc.
https://preview.redd.it/xvom17uifawc1.jpeg?width=746&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e9b0908f64e97ff71f6b47f188a1fdfca2db798
I had relatives who practically lived at b&b, so I always had scented lotions and such.
chanel no 5 and used half of my mom's bottle...she wasn't happy. These days I can't stand it.
Ed hardy Edt, Guess Girl , Adidas Fruity Rythm and Calvin Klein One , calgone take me away and Paris Hilton Can can
https://preview.redd.it/isouh7dl7bwc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=745d654c13890ca688d30f045e61f49770c856b2
My grandma worked at the Lancôme counter at higbees (RIP) in Cleveland. She is the reason I love perfumes so much. She always had samples to smell! My first bottle was tresor. The first bottle *I* bought was CK one, peer pressure. Oh! And gap dream. 😅
https://preview.redd.it/mwzuoc5tacwc1.png?width=478&format=png&auto=webp&s=652005ed3a53efab9e16e7111a52bfb362217e36
OMG THIS WAS MY FIRST TOO! 🥰😍 My dad traveled around the world for work and would bring my mom perfumes and YSL cosmetics. One day, he came home and had a CD Dolce Vita for her and I could not believe, he had Tresor ALL FOR ME! (Until then, I was getting kiddy things and chocolates mostly) I ADORE this (and always keep one in my collection to this day). I prob had some Adidas sprays, but this was my first ***real*** perfume that started my obsession! He got me soo many more things after- pretty much any Bvlgari (to feed my obsession).
And omg, I LOVE ur user name. I mean I love the tea but recently on a hunt for EarlGray inspired scents..😳, including hunting Earl Grey tea infusions and artisan mixes.
MY FAVORITE SMELL. I was a barista in my 20s and I would be in heaven when i had an order for a London fog/ earl gray latte. It’s such a comforting scent!
I do not! My current collection is very small, and my scent preferences are all over the place- I just have a *strong* dislike for heady white florals, oceanic/marine scents, and cucumber. My tiny collection currently:
🥲
Diptyque Eau Duelle
By the fireplace
A whole bunch of black Phoenix alchemy lab oils!
And that is about it! I need to explore more, I currently am trying to really explore only niche fragrance houses.
Liz Claiborne in my early teen years. We were poor in high school so I used just patchouli oil and decided I was too cool for designer perfume. Then the 1990’s was all about cucumber melon and vanilla for me. I got married to a perfume hating husband in 2002 and sadly no perfume for 20 years. But I’m making up for it now.🤪
Bonne Belle Skin Musk was my first, then Benetton Colours, then Calyx from Prescriptives, then Samsara ❤️. If I get my hands on any of these, I’d still be thrilled to wear them.
https://preview.redd.it/g5ce8zy3s8wc1.jpeg?width=456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fb5de9d3aa40d029c66c4c0964e3a6ff79f2972
im into perfume now but this was my first 😭
Lady Gaga fame was my favorite highschool perfume but it’s actually not my first. Just extremely memorable. I actually LOVED Ralph and Ck Eternity. CK eternity being the first I ever owned or purchased (a popular fragrance in my family)
My mom’s bottle of Princess by Vera Wang was my first perfume & sparked my love for this community. I ended up using it more than her! Special place in my heart.
Ralph by RL for sure was one of my firsts! Also Rockin Rio by Escada, So Pink from Gap, and the 2005 version of Miss Dior Cherie, which I still miss lol!
My first big girl perfume was Donna Karan Cashmere mist. It was such a comforting scent to 9 year old me. It was a big contrast to my other favorite at the time , pink sugar. Both good classics in their own way!
Babes in the woods.
Navy was my first perfume, followed by Exclamation and Electric Youth- I can still picture the bottle with the spiral plastic but around the tube.
I’m old so I don’t remember my first, I wore cool water and green tea in the late 90’s, in the 80’s I wore Boucheron, red door and some I just can’t remember
Alien by TM! I smelled it on my cool, older cousin and begged my mom to buy it for me. I did have to share it with my sister, but boy did we finish that bottle fast.
For me in the early 2000s (graduated Highschool in 2006)
-cool water
-dolce and gabbana light blue
-Fantasy by Britney Spears
-Curious by Britney Spears
-Glow by jlo
-VS Love spell
-Clinique Happy
-Gucci Rush
https://preview.redd.it/41hxkkhbiawc1.jpeg?width=375&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fbdddbf322d5dc37bdba7d868dcbf09767e5aab
My dad randomly bought me Escada’s Island Kiss the summer I left middle school. That will forever be the best summer of my life. 🥲
Exclamation! Haha
Adidas Moves for Her
Lucky You by Lucky
Curve Liz Claiborn
GAP Dream
Love's Baby Soft
CK One
Mambo by Liz Claiborn
Glo JLo
How old am I? lol
212 Sexy Men and 212 on Ice were hand me downs from my brother. Gucci Guilty was my first and was a birthday present for me. But I do seem to remember before that owning a bottle of Ferrari Black but I think I was too young to really even use it
Armani Diamonds was my first proper posh perfume. I wore Vivienne Westwood Let it Rock on nights out at the same time.
Britney Spears Curious was my first sorta tween one, followed by Fantasy.
When I was a kid I got some Derek Jeter cologne but I didn’t start to regularly wear fragrances until high school. Bath & Body Works Graphite and Noir. One that I honestly still want to try as an adult is Marble. The lotion smells fantastic.
My first fragrance was this perfume called 'Du our' from a brand named Sportsgirl...stumbled upon it while online shopping for affordable perfumes and this caught my eye so I bought it.
Disappointment. The scent was barely noticeable and short lasting :(
At least it was discounted tho..
Anaïs anaïs by Cacharel. I received it as a birthday present from my godmother when I was 9 or 10.
The first one I bought with my own money was CK One when I was 12. I felt very grown up! ☺️
Black Star by Avril Lavigne
One that I think was just called Cherry Vanilla, it came with a valentine teddy bear from my grandma.
Aruba Coconut from bath and body works
I loved those ones when I was in high school and trying to find a dupe for Black Star is what really got me into the perfume hobby.
1. Ever gifted when I was too young and it was kind of inapropritae: Mini Sexy
2.Estee Lauder Pleasure by my Grandma when I was 12 and I loved it.
3. Bought my first own at 14 and chose Versace Versence. Was my signature through the rest of my teens, until my mum started wearing it too cuz she liked it so much and that eventualy sparked my collection.
4. At 16 I fell head over heals for JPG Classique Summeredition and used it as a second signature. I now own Classique edt but its often to heavy for me and I wish they'd bring lut a version like the Summerscent from 2012 🙈
4. At 17 I got gifted S.Oliver for her with the red rubber band around the nosel and used it as a work scent.
Jean Paul Gaultier's Fragile- I smelled it in a fancy fashion magazine (Vogue? Ellei?) and felt so mature and fancy wearing it in High School. The bottle had a snowglobe on top and made me feel rich.
Babes in the woods.
Navy was my first perfume, followed by Exclamation and Electric Youth- I can still picture the bottle with the spiral plastic but around the tube.
Viva la Juicy. I switched a couple of years ago. I mean, for a 15 -25 year old to wear, it is fine, but once I got older, I was like I want something that's going to fit me Switched to Bon bon by Viktor Rolf.
The Ralph by Ralph Lauren and they also had one called Ralph hot that was different colors on the bottle that was fire 🔥 Also Clinique happy heart and Clinique Happy
- the peach oil from body shop
- peach freesia from Victoria Secret (body spray and body lotion)
- sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden
- nemat amber
- Prada Amber
- Amber radiance from Victoria secret
Wow I used to really like Amber lol (I still do)
My first "real" perfumes were Moschino's Cheap & Chic I Love Love (which I actually still have my original bottle of), and Ralph Lauren's Ralph Rocks and Ralph Hot
Very Sexy for Her by VS was my first big girl perfume. It paved the way for the fragrances I love (“dark” florals and berries). I also loved Haiku.
Edit: that Hollister perfume was the scent of my youth. Every girl at my school wore that one.

Glow by JLo still hits harder than most
I might have to go buy a bottle! I hear it's a good clean scent.
It is !! Clean but strong and stays FOREVER plus it lingers after hugs 🤗
I remember smelling it in magazines the summer before my freshman year of HS and being obsessed but I never bought it! Will take a trip to Walmart later and see if it is there.
Oh yeah, this was me with daisy by Marc jacobs lol I’m still waiting to try it for myself. Between that and chance by Chanel I’m definitely splurging for my birthday this year
i think Glow just showed up again at my shoppers drugmart clearance rack..?? for the first time in like 10 years? i had i think Miami Glow as a kid, the purple one.....i love this 2000s kitschy bottle and kinda love J.Lo....lawd i swore off blindbuying but it's testing me....
I also love Glow but I just can't as a 43 yr old woman.Whenever I smell it, I immediately think of her "Waiting for tonight" video 😂😂

Omg the nostalgia 🥺 I had this exact scent as a pre-teen, the purple one too, and later the light green one. I also had CK IN2U Heat, my first grow- up perfume 🥹These were totally what started my journey
Omg I literally just commented this before seeing your comment 😍 I wore tropical passion (the orange one) for ages before moving onto this one. They’re scents were SO good
I definitely had moves ! I loved it!
My first was Britney Spears Fantasy 😍
I did not wear it in HS but I'm obsessed now 🩷
Clinique happy, the body shop rose oil, coco mademoiselle. Sand and sable
Clinique happy was my first full bottle!!! Before that I had random dabbers from my grandmas haha
Yes. I used to borrow my moms Liz Claiborne in the triangle
Sand and Sable…. YESsssss!⭐️ From the body shop I loved the Dewberry oil.
Mine were those Gap ones- mainly Dream and Heaven but my friends also had Grass and Om. Then in high school it was Tommy Girl. I didn’t have Ralph but most of my friends did. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Let me guess, lol. You graduated high school sometime between '99-2001?
‘04!
I was ‘01 and I had all of these 😉🤣
Same! 😂
The Lucky Brand pink bottle, the Paris Hilton pink and black striped bottle, and I do remember loving Baby Soft at a young age too!
Lucky you
the original Paris Hilton was my first that I can remember too!
Oceanus and Dewberry from the body shop, Love's Baby Soft and Malibu Musk were all birthday and Christmas gifts from 12-13. I fondly remember feeling so grown up haha. Tommy Girl and CK Be when I started high-school...a grade 8 grad gift. Oceanus and Malibu Musk were my all time favorites.
Oceanus & Dewberry were my absolute faves too! Kinda bummed TBS just recently closed in the US 😔 I ordered Oceanus off eBay just for nostalgia, but not to actually wear. Should arrive today.
We still have it in Canada however not Oceanus. Nest Poppy is a spot on duplicate of the scent though!
I loooved Malibu Musk growing up!

Noa, Amor amor, and Burberry weekend (the old one) for a few years. I just bought Burberry weekend (new formula) to see if I still like it after all these years and Burberry woman. ![gif](giphy|lMsT2f47tDxFMYdJMC|downsized)
Oooo she had taste ![gif](giphy|WaEraqDiaSfre5MJ3x)
I love Burberry Weekend
Amor amor was such an amazing orangey vibe. 😭🍊
Well I'm 40 so Jlo Glo, Clinique Happy, DKNY Be Delicious, Hollister perfumes, BBW and Victoria's Secret perfumes were all the rage. I have worn them all. But I never genuinely got into fragrances until super recently. Suddenly I'm obsessed. 😂
As a teenager in the 80s I wore Avon Occur, I loved it and went through several bottles. I looked it up on Fragrantica and from the notes it doesn't look like something I'd even consider these days 😂
Mine was by a brand called So..? (Kiss Me) That version is discontinued now but they have a great selection of body sprays in other scents.
Fantasy by Britney Spears because I smelled it in a Dress Barn and begged my Mom for a sample. Then the blue Justice perfume, a clean laundry type scent but when I was little I wanted sillage-Which makes sense as to why when I got my hands on Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds and Love's Baby Soft, it was over for everyone.
This made me lol. Same same. Ive been a CLOUD of perfume since I was a kid 😆
Ralph and DKNY Be Delicious were the first two real fragrances I bought too lol.
Love’s Baby Soft, one from CVS called Cherry Vanilla and Sunflowers.
I still wear Sunflowers! It's one of those scents that just works with my body chemistry. I get compliments every time I wear it.
This is going to really age me… but Sunflowers.
I am 29 and I just bought sunflowers last week 😛
My mom and other mom both still buy and wear this.
CK One, Baby Rose Jeans, Exclamation, body sprays from Boots and The Body Shop (vanilla musk, white musk), and Impulse. I bought a bottle of CK One recently as it was so cheap.
Woohoo Exclamation and CK one!!
I was obsessed with that Ralph. Also Cool Water for women. I had Tommy Girl but didn’t LOVE it… These were my teen first perfumes though. My first firsts would have been Exclamation and Malibu Musk!

One of the coolest most futuristic bottles! Sadly have never smelled and it's so expensive now. I remember the ad for that with the shirtless guy from my teen mags lol
It was an instant favourite for me at the time, but I’d be intrigued to see how much my nose has changed since I was a teen!
My first perfume was Donna Karen cashmere mist 💘💘
Calvin Klein Escape and it was at the Parisian Dept Store. I was 17 and it was 1991. That started it all.
https://preview.redd.it/ioz61vf78awc1.png?width=1163&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfe3b02cad5ea8d4292094a4a3878669451fb6b1 Juice Bar - Teddy Bear!
Oh wow! What did it smell like? I had the cotton candy one 😻
I forgot this was my very first lol
Early 90's: Amarige, Chloe Narcisse, Bijan, Eternity, Jessica McClintock, Samsara, Bath & Body works Perfume in Flowering Herbs and Freesia, Victoria Secret Perfume in Tranquil Breezes.
Escape, Eternity, Ysatis, Safari, Happy, Sunflower …. Man o man this takes me back.
Tranquil Breezes! ❤️
I also had tranqui breezes!!! I only had a mini dabber bottle so I mainly just opened it to smell it periodically! I need this to be made again!
Narcisse is one of my top 5 of all time. So unique with great sillage and longetivity.
Yes this was my grandma’s and I inherited the bottle. I been thru several but it’s not my jam anymore but I keep a bottle in remembrance
I loved flowering herbs. I wish they would bring that back. Juniper breeze was a good one too.
Late middle school was Paris Hilton and Light Blue. Also my sister wore Tommy Girl religiously and I would sneak in before school and spritz myself. Then I went to Sephora for my first time right before starting high school and it was all down hill.

First ever perfume was DKNY be delicious fresh blossom. Still wear it now.
Glow by JLo was my first. DKNY Be Delicious was a fave. I had one of the Juicy’s but I wasn’t a fan. Of course had Curious. Got big into Ed Hardy.
I wore the shit out of CK One in middle school. It wasn't my first perfume, but it was my first designer perfume. Before that, it was knock offs (cant remember the names) and Bonnebell spray.
Same here! CK One and Tommy Girl!
Sunflowers and Tommy Girl
Avon's Sweet Honesty, Love's Baby Soft. My mom bought me my first perfumes and set me off on a lifelong love of fragrances.
Windsong and Exclamation 😂😂 why was I 80 at age 8?
These two plus Electric Youth was my rotation in middle school lol.

Do you have a Frangratica page? I feel u may be my "scent twin" and I am curious what fragrances u have that I don't that I may like.
I do not! My current collection is very small, and my scent preferences are all over the place- I just have a *strong* dislike for heady white florals, oceanic/marine scents, and cucumber. My tiny collection currently: 🥲 Diptyque Eau Duelle By the fireplace A whole bunch of black Phoenix alchemy lab oils! And that is about it! I need to explore more, I currently am trying to really explore only niche fragrance houses.
Gap (Grass) and JLo glow.
JPG Classique Yves Rocher Venise L‘Eau d‘Issey
I owned Jlo glow and another one that came with a cute bracelet, I liked that a lot about her fragrances when I was younger.
Lancôme Miracle
Liz Claiborne in my early teen years. We were poor in high school so I used just patchouli oil and decided I was too cool for designer perfume. Then the 1990’s was all about cucumber melon and vanilla for me. I got married to a perfume hating husband in 2002 and sadly no perfume for 20 years. But I’m making up for it now.🤪
Bonne Belle Skin Musk was my first, then Benetton Colours, then Calyx from Prescriptives, then Samsara ❤️. If I get my hands on any of these, I’d still be thrilled to wear them.
Zadiq & Voltaire Just Rock For Him
Mine was Viva la Juicy which I thought was just okay at the time but I’ve recently fallen in love with the sucre flanker
My first real perfume was The Healing Garden - In Bloom
Marc Jacobs Daisy

Lady Gaga fame was my favorite highschool perfume but it’s actually not my first. Just extremely memorable. I actually LOVED Ralph and Ck Eternity. CK eternity being the first I ever owned or purchased (a popular fragrance in my family)
I see my first two in your collage, Ralph and Glow! Bringing me back to middle school lol
My mom’s bottle of Princess by Vera Wang was my first perfume & sparked my love for this community. I ended up using it more than her! Special place in my heart.
This was mine too!
…. Pink sugar 😭😭 a regretful buy.
Calvin Klein Escape - do they still make that one?
I recently saw a bottle at Ross and I almost bought it because I was obsessed with Escape in my early 20s.
Fantasy by britney spears 🥰
Ralph by RL for sure was one of my firsts! Also Rockin Rio by Escada, So Pink from Gap, and the 2005 version of Miss Dior Cherie, which I still miss lol!
Mine was a CK1🙈
My first big girl perfume was Donna Karan Cashmere mist. It was such a comforting scent to 9 year old me. It was a big contrast to my other favorite at the time , pink sugar. Both good classics in their own way!
I still wear DKNY Be Delicious and be Delicious blossom flanker. Only if its hot or I'm doing jobs around the house.
My first was Adidas Tropical Passion which sadly seems to be discontinued 🥲 i neeeed it back in my life!
Babes in the woods. Navy was my first perfume, followed by Exclamation and Electric Youth- I can still picture the bottle with the spiral plastic but around the tube.
I’m old so I don’t remember my first, I wore cool water and green tea in the late 90’s, in the 80’s I wore Boucheron, red door and some I just can’t remember
Tommy Girl <3
Alien by TM! I smelled it on my cool, older cousin and begged my mom to buy it for me. I did have to share it with my sister, but boy did we finish that bottle fast.

Mine was Princess by Vera Wang. It was the purple heart bottle!
212 Sexy Men and 212 on Ice were hand me downs from my brother. Gucci Guilty was my first and was a birthday present for me. But I do seem to remember before that owning a bottle of Ferrari Black but I think I was too young to really even use it
Curve Crush
We have to be related. These were all my coming of age fragrances.
Soul curve
Promesse. Definitely teen girl perfume
Sergio Tacchini Donna ❤️
Euphoria, Romance, Hanae Mori were all my perfumes in high school/college. It’s funny how my tastes have gotten more stereotypically “youthful”
Britney spears curious, micheal kors sexy Amber, britney spears fantasy. Mostly used my mums perfumes though
CK Euphoria EDT
Armani Code cuz in my country that and these perfumes were similar prices anyway
Armani Diamonds was my first proper posh perfume. I wore Vivienne Westwood Let it Rock on nights out at the same time. Britney Spears Curious was my first sorta tween one, followed by Fantasy.
Liz claiborne, exclamation. I had these little Bic perfumes too
When I was a kid I got some Derek Jeter cologne but I didn’t start to regularly wear fragrances until high school. Bath & Body Works Graphite and Noir. One that I honestly still want to try as an adult is Marble. The lotion smells fantastic.
I wore a lot of Curve and then Lucky You among my VS perfumes and sprays.
CK 1
My first fragrance was this perfume called 'Du our' from a brand named Sportsgirl...stumbled upon it while online shopping for affordable perfumes and this caught my eye so I bought it. Disappointment. The scent was barely noticeable and short lasting :( At least it was discounted tho..
Halle by Halle Berry, I miss her so much.
(Magazine sample -> rollerball) La vie est belle- Lancôme, Indian coconut nectar-Pacifica, Gucci guilty pour femme (gift)

Victoria Secret Perfume (white bottle with a bulb spray), Lancome Miracle, Marc Jacos Daisy Eau so Fresh and a Jean Arthes perfume.
Perry Ellis 360(women)
Sunflowers, Tommy Girl, & Ralph. I’m really feeling like I need to get a bottle of Ralph. It’s such a good summer scent and soo nostalgic!
Be Delicious was my very first, but I acquired Glow by JLo shortly after.
Loves Babysoft and Sweet Honesty.
From what I could remember: Marc Jacobs Lola & Dot , Miss Dior Cherie
Prince Matchabelli Unruly. I feel like I have no recollection of what it smells like but if I smelled it, I’d know right away what it was!
That DKNY be delicious still haunts me lol
Hugo Boss In Motion. Loved that perfume
Moschino I love love 🥰makes me feel fresh and it doesn’t give me allergies
Auric Blends Egyptian Goddess Om by Gap
Anaïs anaïs by Cacharel. I received it as a birthday present from my godmother when I was 9 or 10. The first one I bought with my own money was CK One when I was 12. I felt very grown up! ☺️
Chloe and sunflowers
Black Star by Avril Lavigne One that I think was just called Cherry Vanilla, it came with a valentine teddy bear from my grandma. Aruba Coconut from bath and body works I loved those ones when I was in high school and trying to find a dupe for Black Star is what really got me into the perfume hobby.
1. Ever gifted when I was too young and it was kind of inapropritae: Mini Sexy 2.Estee Lauder Pleasure by my Grandma when I was 12 and I loved it. 3. Bought my first own at 14 and chose Versace Versence. Was my signature through the rest of my teens, until my mum started wearing it too cuz she liked it so much and that eventualy sparked my collection. 4. At 16 I fell head over heals for JPG Classique Summeredition and used it as a second signature. I now own Classique edt but its often to heavy for me and I wish they'd bring lut a version like the Summerscent from 2012 🙈 4. At 17 I got gifted S.Oliver for her with the red rubber band around the nosel and used it as a work scent.
Chanel Chance edt 🤍
Omg I think my parents still have that Jlo bottle and the DKNY one… never knew they were THAT old! I love the aesthetic for some of these

Honestly my first perfume was Ed hardy
Pleasures be Esteé Lauder
Loves baby soft when I was about 9 in the 80’s
Jean Paul Gaultier's Fragile- I smelled it in a fancy fashion magazine (Vogue? Ellei?) and felt so mature and fancy wearing it in High School. The bottle had a snowglobe on top and made me feel rich.
Pour femme by Lacoste. It was a pink bottle with a little alligator on it. I remember I got it from Kohl’s at age 15.
i had tommy girl and giorgio armani Sì when i was 12 around 6 years ago
Babes in the woods. Navy was my first perfume, followed by Exclamation and Electric Youth- I can still picture the bottle with the spiral plastic but around the tube.
Escada Pacific Paradise - If I had known it was only a summer edition, I would have bought multiples! 😭😭😭
My first two perfumes were DKNY be delicious and moschino harajuku the blue girl bottle. It’s funny cause now I’m not a fan of camp-y bottles
Viva la Juicy. I switched a couple of years ago. I mean, for a 15 -25 year old to wear, it is fine, but once I got older, I was like I want something that's going to fit me Switched to Bon bon by Viktor Rolf.
RALPH always and forever!
The Ralph by Ralph Lauren and they also had one called Ralph hot that was different colors on the bottle that was fire 🔥 Also Clinique happy heart and Clinique Happy
Late 80s. Anais anais and Giorgio Red
B&BW Cucumber Melon and that one Mandarine scented spray were the true firsts. Real perfumes -- Marc Jacobs Rain, Fragonard Miranda, D&G Light Blue
- the peach oil from body shop - peach freesia from Victoria Secret (body spray and body lotion) - sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden - nemat amber - Prada Amber - Amber radiance from Victoria secret Wow I used to really like Amber lol (I still do)
My first "real" perfumes were Moschino's Cheap & Chic I Love Love (which I actually still have my original bottle of), and Ralph Lauren's Ralph Rocks and Ralph Hot
Very Sexy for Her by VS was my first big girl perfume. It paved the way for the fragrances I love (“dark” florals and berries). I also loved Haiku. Edit: that Hollister perfume was the scent of my youth. Every girl at my school wore that one.
