80s Fragrances-Colognes and Perfumes You Wore

[nowhere girl]

The other day, I was going through a department store, and I smelled some Obsession, and it reminded me of how in the 80s, there were a lot of scents that everyone seemed to be wearing(like Obsession,Polo,Colors de Benetton,etc). What scents bring you back to the 80s? What scents do you remember wearing a lot? I remember buying a bottle of Opium perfume that was a really strong scent, but I thought it was very cool and exotic. I also remember walking into my college class and breathing in all the Polo that every guy seemed to wear at the time. Whenever I smell those scents, it puts me right back in time into the 80s.

In Jr. High I wore Elsha - "The Aristocrat of Perfume and Cologne". I thought I was very suave & sophisticated. Anyone else remember that stuff?

GOOD ONE!!!! Lets see, being from Brooklyn, you had to have cologne. I wore Piere Cardan(however you spell it). Then later I wore petrule oil and smelled like dirt.
Oh, au savage like bruiser. Great smell.

Hee hee, this is a great question, especially because sense is the smell most linked to memory: "Smells are surer than sights and sounds to make the heartstrings crack."

During my prime New Wave years, I wore KL by Karl Lagerfeld, mostly because th

The only perfume I could handle was "POISON"--VERY 80's---overdone, implying shoulder pads and power suits.

Still don't do perfume, though I found a bottle of knockoff POISON a year or two ago--brought the 80's right back!

Generally, clean hair & cl

I'm surprised this stuff is still out there. I wore this until the late 1980's.
