What perfumes/colognes remind you of High School days?

Asked by DarlingRhadamanthus (11273points) October 26th, 2009

This is for both men and women. I love perfumes and colognes. I can smell an old fragrance and be reminded of someone or some event. A few months ago, I went back to my hometown and at the local department store I happened to look in a case and there were some vintage fragrances (re-formulated so not the same exact thing anymore.)

The scent that really reminds of me of high school is “Eau de Love”.....remember that one? Oooohhhhh….it was just heavenly and it was advertised in “Seventeen” magazine. It reminds me of cruising the Dairy Queen with my friends, purple bellbottoms and homecoming. The second one that I associate with high school is the original “Charlie”. The blue box with the zodiac signs on it. I think those were my absolute favorites.

The guys? Well, I remember going to a dance when I was in sixth grade (yeah, it was like out of the “Wonder Years”) and the guys were all drenched in “Brut” which was sooooo cool at the time. Then, there was also “Hai Karate” not as cool, we thought, but the commercials were great. My boyfriend in my senior year wore “Royal Copenhagen” and he lived far away, so he sent me a tissue that had been soaked in it so I could think of him…<sigh>. LOL!

The other fragrances I remember being popular at that time and that I used (but not as frequently) were Windsong by Prince Matchabelli and Cachet (also by Matchabelli, I think, not sure) and Rive Gauche by Yves St Laurent and Emeraude by Coty.

Can you remember the fragrances that you used back in the day?
