ESTÉE LAUDER did some gorgeous scents in the older times. They were niche, before this word is even known. Fantastic.

[@VeronicaSays]

Yessss! Please say THAT again! They made some amazing frags. 💖💖💖

[@loveinautumn3978]

​@@VeronicaSayspleasures by Estee lauder is a nice one and also dazzling silver but it's been discontinued I think

[@VeronicaSays]

@loveinautumn3978 love Pleasures! I pulled it from my vintage shelf and put it on my everyday fragrance shelf. 👍👍👍

[@bethzolin6046]

Yes, they did. I’ve still so many of hers in my perfume drawer. I love Knowing - it’s such a strong scent , and lasts for hours. I made the mistake of spraying generously, when first spraying it, and and it was still there 2 days later! It’s my go to when I want to make a big impact.

[@fairsplitdivorceseparation8015]

Thank you for this incredible video! My mom passed away this year and I found that her perfume keeps the memories for me in a totally unexpected way. I started collecting the scents that she wore and unknowingly entered the world of perfumery where having 30-50 fragrances is a norm. I am collecting vintage perfumes that meant something for me at certain time of my life and this journey is adding and extra dimension on living for me. I am glad to see I am not the only scents-crazy person out there.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you! 💖 So lovely to read that others, like you, feel the same way about old school fragrances. They are like mini-time travel capsules. 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing! 🙏🙏🙏

Love’s Baby Soft, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Jontue are ones I keep and smell in private to go back to specific times but I will never wear in public. I wish I could find the fragrance of the shampoo called Agree!

My aunt kept Emeraude and Youth Dew on her dressing table and I used to sneak up there and use it. Good memories. And you have Safari! I LOVED that in the day. Lsuren too. My mom wore Chanel No. 5 -- my dad would get her a bottle every Xmas. And we both loved Poison.

[@mala3isity]

Chantilly. OOOOOOOOOOO. White Linen, Mom's everyday scent. Chanel No. 5, her going out scent. Love you, miss you, Mom. 🥰🎨 Shalimar, my MIL's going out scent and the only perfume she wore. Too much for me. Miss you, M. So proud of you, this was hard. 👑🏆

[@VeronicaSays]

Awwww! 💕💕💕 This comment touched me. The memories 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for watching. 🥰

[@lydiaspencer3192]

I relate to your opinions and love to listen to your voice. I think some things have changed in fragrance production. More women use to smoke and I think that affected how perfumes were formulated. Cheaper perfumes actually smelled better on smokers. I also have memory scents -Charles of the Ritz was a man magnet. Cabotine for an outdoor event with drindle skirt and Jack Roger’s sandals but now cannot spray even in the bathroom but an amazing perfume. I secretly like Pink Sugar deceptively sophisticated. Signature for me is Alien original. Always complimented. My first memory of being knocked off my feet by a fragrance was in high school. A cheerleader brought Youth Dew bath oil to school and dabbed everyone she passed with it. Incredible. Saved my money to finally buy. It’s been reformulated and is way off and nauseating to smell in a small area. I’ll never forget the original though. Also my date perfume with my husband - Shalimar. It almost made him drunk he loved it on me. Filled the car up with love. Smells exactly the same years later in the dry down. My husband passed away suddenly on Valentines Day 13 years ago. I take Shalimar out with a black Cashmere sweater and about an hour later something happens and I’m caught up in a euphoric womanly feeling. I will always have Shalimar.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Lydia! 💖 Thanks for sharing these memories. I appreciate the power of Shalimar (and old school Youth Dew). You are totally right about the cigarette aspect - good point. My condolences on your husband's passing, albeit 13 years ago. May you find peace in his memory this week 🙏🙏🙏

[@seandalai3413]

Chantilly!! My sister wore that all the time! She had the lotion, powder, perfume spray, etc. It was HERS! When I got to be her age, I went in the opposite direction with "Tabu"... We were both "Dana" women, but on the opposite sides of that house. Thanks for the memories! .... and "O", of course (the original).

[@VeronicaSays]

I love that - dueting and dueling fragrances from the same house! Oh my, the memories of the fragrances powders with the big puffs. 🥰💖🥰💖

[@OphelieFontaine]

VOL DE NUIT I want to buy vintage in November at the perfume flea market in Venlo, the Netherlands ❤ You get there all the vintage BOMBS in a perfect condition 😊

Oh how I wish I could shop at those markets! 💖💖💖

[@miasdaydream8292]

Video like this without Lancome Poeme?? How did that happen?😂 this timeless beauty is exquisite!

[@VeronicaSays]

Can you believe it?! 😂 I think it's so lovely but I never owned a bottle.

[@vintagedesignerfinds836]

Poeme is from the 90s

[@kristabel71]

I was an 80s teen too. I'm with you on Amarige, Chantilly, Obsession, Shalimar and more. The hallways of my high school were a fragrance battleground of Obsession vs Beautiful. Unfortunately Beautiful usually won. It's a wonder any of us could breathe!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Kristabel! 💖 Seriously?! How did we not have more frequent asthma attacks at school? 😆😆😆

[@VeronicaSays]

@@nancymarkiewicz8123 I believe it does, yes.

[@sherylwickenheiser2582]

I wore Beautiful and my mom wore White linen. Nice memories

[@chancycat9822]

@sherylwickenheiser2582 I gave Beautiful to my mom a huge bottle of it,it just wasn't my fragrance....you have to feel something out for it to be really special for you to wear...and that's how I felt when I wore Obsession,Giorgio,Bijan,and I always liked Red but on other people,and when I smelled Oscar De la Renta (but I never got some)...but my neighbor had the pure perfume in her bathroom and a friend wore it to work and you could smell it all through the store just wafting through the air it was a heavenly smell,and my ex brother in law got some for my sister Sherry one Christmas,I also gave her a huge bottle of Chanel No 5,but she was originally given some by her boss. And these fragrances are some of the one's that help connect me to the past like Halston and a bottle of Toujours Moi by Dana that I got for my sister Tina but she passed away in 2001,and my sister Sherry who also passed away but in 2017 she wore Chanel No 5 and Oscar de la Renta and they were both so young Tina only 43 and Sherry was 57.

[@cindypruitt9534]

I am the same age too. I wore beautiful even though it was a bit much for me. I remember some of my friends would wear Anais Anais and I would gag. When the 90s rolled around sunflowers and happy came out and fragrances were much lighter. I really like my gourmands today a lot better but I still get warm fuzzy feelings from those 80s fragrance bombs.

[@kellypickle]

OK so this is only the second video of yours I’ve watched. But this one really hits home for me. I grew up really poor and we didn’t have a lot of dolls and things like that but my sister and I were allowed to play with old bottles old, perfume, bottles, old medicine, bottles, my granddad collected bottles, My mom had some of the really cool Avon bottles we loved those perfume bottles. Perfume bottles have always been a thing in our family and all of us are scent collectors. My grandmother wore Emeraude. It will always be close to my heart. A few other cosmetic things that she had Tangie, for example old lipstick, and a compact. My aunt who passed away about a year ago wore opium, and as she got older, she really didn’t have the money for that kind of thing, so I always have some on hand. I like to fill up little atomizers and send them to my family. She loved that and she tried a bunch of new niche fragrances that I’ve developed an unfortunate fondness for over the last decade. There’s no way I can get rid of that. My mother wore Paloma Picasso for a period. She also wore Paris YSL I believe. It was in the round bottle with the, pink and black top. but my mom loves scent, so there isn’t really a special one I associate with her like with my grandmother. My sister loved Anais Anais. I need that bottle on the shelf. Every time I see it I think of her. she passed away last year too young. For me, these scents are always a reminder. I still have the first real bottle of perfume I ever bought. It’s a tiny little bottle of Miss Dior. How can you get rid of Shalamar! Shalamar is the OG! That classic bottle. Yes, many people don’t like Coco. One of my signature scents is Fracas but I cannot wear it around my mother. It makes her ill. I understand that perfectly. I like things that smell rotten. Good example, Frederic Maille carnal flower. I don’t know why I love it so much but I do I just do it’s the white flowers I’m just a sucker for them lol. the Bob Mackey that you had is not the Bob Mackie that I purchased in 1985 It came in a little black bottle and the smell was very very unusual, there was definitely tuberose and maybe gardenia in there but it also smelled a little bit like burnt balsamic. It was weird but strangely appealing I didn’t wear it frequently but I liked having it to smell. Yes, we are crazy aren’t we?… well, at least I know I’m not alone now. ❤

[@VeronicaSays]

Awww thanks for sharing all these memories. Isn't it crazy how powerful the scent connection is to memory and nostalgia?

[@LaladaBeauty]

Have you tried Ysatis? I used to wear it and spray it on like there’s no tomorrow. You couldn’t tell me nothing. I think people around me were suffocating 😅😂😂

[@VeronicaSays]

I've never worn Ysatis. Yes, we used to douse ourselves in these obnoxious fragrances day in and day out! 😆😆😆

[@kayaperfumehoarder]

Hi there, I do recall ALL of these! In the early 90s I had Realities, Volupte, Samba, and the Claiborne triangular bottle🤭 In the mmid-90s I wore Eternity which was hot at that time, and late 90s into early 2000s I got into Gap Om and Dior Sweet Sun Lucky you savored an old L'eu d'Issey bottle that smell is so timeless🙏

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh wow! The triangle bottle! I remember 💖🥰 Eternity was definitely allllll the rage! I'm glad to have the original L'eau d'Issey. 🎊🎊🎊

White Linen is simply beautiful. Very feminine and clean. I love it.

[@VeronicaSays]

Same here! 🙌🥰

[@kelleegeimer6517]

It's my signature scent.

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

The original Opium was the sexiest, most wonderful perfume ever! YSL absolutely trashed it with their new formulation. I'm old enough to remember when it first came out, you could by it in drugstores....then they realized people would pay department store prices for it, it was so good 😂.

[@VeronicaSays]

My mom had the original Opium and I agree - that reformulation is fine on its own as a fragrance but it lacks the oomph the original had. 👍👍👍

[@chancycat9822]

Ysatis by Givenchy is also really good my little sister liked to wear Eternity,Amariage,and Dune...but it's like after she gets dome wearing something she doesn't wear it anymore except for the Orginal Burberry, and Prada Candy,and I like some of Tova Borgnine's fragrances but not all and when I had gotten this one set I kept 2 out that I wanted and gave 1 to my mom and the other to my sister and they really liked them!

You should def check out all the 80s omg I still ( and I’ve dated younger men ha but no more than ten hrs younger ha ) they loved those scents and poison is a fav by them!

[@bethzolin6046]

I always understood that Guerlain’s L’Heure Bleue, (which unbelievably dates from 1912), referred to that magic soft, velvety hour at sunset on a warm summer day, just at dusk when the colours fade to blue, and when the air is filled with the scent of flowers like violets, heliotrope and Iris (blue flowers, all of which are in this scent, along with many others). I believe it was the favourite scent of the late Queen Elizabeth ll. I have some, but rarely use it as I find it a bit overpowering for me, and it shows it’s powdery age, but oh my goodness it’s strong, and I think is well named. I have Guerlain’s Shalimar too, which dates from 1925 and is also an amber fragrance. Again I just can’t get on with it, as on me it has a slightly antiseptic vibe. Do love Chanel’s Coco though, it’s so pretty, and adore Red Door, and especially Safari. However I’d agree - Chanel number 5 is THE scent, with its aldehydes bomb! Thank you so much for another great video.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Beth! 💖 I hear different stories about L'Heure Bleue. I like the rendition you've heard - sounds melancholy in a romantic sort of way. I ended up putting my Shalimar up for sale. Beautiful as it is, it really is QUITE a lot for me to handle. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on some of these! 💖

[@ThePhoenixThatRose]

I remember Chantilly being on my mom's dresser. The minute I saw the bottle and heard the name, I had an instant flashback lol! Red Door by Elizabeth Arden is a memorable one. When I was a child in the 90s I remember my mom used it as well. She recently gifted me a bottle of red door lmao! I smelled the atomizer and it automatically brought me back to being a little kid and smelling it on her back then. Because of that, I only keep it for nostalgia's sake. I could never wear it as it would give me a giant headache! Also she loved her Giorgio Beverly Hills lol that bottle brings back memories.

Hi Stephanie! Thank you soooo much! And WOW! What a background in fragrance you have! Thanks for sharing 💖🥰

[@cynthianixon8229]

Love your video. I had (or have) many of the vintage perfumes you mention. Some of them I still love and which bring back great memories.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you, Cynthia! 💖🥰 Yes, the memories are priceless! Especially when they remind us of loved ones. 🙏

[@PaolaBianka]

Yes ! It is often forgotten that our senses change as we get older 👍🏼

[@VeronicaSays]

Right! But we blame it on the fragrance. Sometimes it's US! 🤭

[@saadetisildar2951]

It’s a total joy to watch your videos!

Love love love Cabotine!! College fav after my poison! Summer spring fav😊

[@danielaalba220]

I am so happy that this video reached 2,000 👍 It is well deserved. I enjoyed watching this😊. I'm a Gen Z-er born in 1997 so I am not familiar with some of these beautiful-sounding scents that you mention. My first bottle of perfume was Vera Wang Princess. My mom wore Perry Ellis 360 when I was a baby and I still have her vintage bottle. Every time I sniff it I am transported back in time to her tucking me into bed. my grandma really loved Passion by Elizabeth Taylor. my step-dad wore Photo by karl lagerfeld and some sort of Nivea aftershave with a pungent oceanic smell.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank youuuuu 🥰🥰🥰 Awwww I lovvve the memories you shared! So sweet. 🥹

Paloma Picasso used to be my signature fragrance.

[@VeronicaSays]

How LOVELY! 💖💖💖

[@momijiyamanishi4548]

I just bought my first bottle of paloma picasso. I love it but it's not very long lasting. How do you get it to last longer?

[@almatoledo1608]

My mother had Opium by YSL. Discontinued but you can buy some bottles still. I find it absolutely beautiful! My mother's doctor from Brasil was mesmerized when she wore it once.

I enjoyed this so much. I love some of my vintage fragrances, partly due to memories, and the other being they don't make fragrances like that anymore. Some are just so sophisticated and elegant.

Hi Tammie! 💖 Thanks for hopping over to watch! Glad you're with me on these decisions. 🥰

Love this video and all the scent memories! I will always associate Obsession with my lovely Aunty Marilyn who wore it throughout the 80's. I remember going into the big department stores in Canada at the time (The Bay and Eaton's) and the perfume counters were an absolute wonderland to me.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you so much! 💖 Yes, perfume counters were a "wonderland" for us in our youth! I love the memory associations of perfume! 🥰

Hi Veronica - I’ve watched the majority of your old videos and they are really great. I wore Calyx, White Linen, Obsession, Dune and Poison back in the day. I still have a bottles of Dune and Poison but honestly don’t reach for them often. So many amazing trend-setting bottles here!

Hiiiiiii! The nostalgi! OMG guurrrllll! You took me on a ride. I have decluttered most of my vintage frags and not to recently picked up, after searching for forever Tendre poison, which was my first real frag buy at the age of 19, but i'm only keeping a decant and giving the rest to someone i know that has also been looking for a btl ever since it was discontinued.❤

Hiiiiii Nadine! 💖 Thanks for taking the trip down memory lane! Tendre Poison is a cult favorite. I can understand just keeping a decant to sniff from time to time. 👍👍👍

💜💜 this video! Took me back to my youthful, innocent days when I used to indulge in *choking-me-out* scents. My mom had Chantilly. I use to LOVE Sand & Sable perfume way back in the days. The original Red Door was EVERYTHING! 💜

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Kerri! 💖 Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰 So many wore Red Door! It was everywhere for sure. I owned Sand & Sable at one point also. 😄

I love this video! You have such a great collection of vintage and new scents! Perfume styles have changed so much. I would love to see some of your ideas on new scents that remind you of old scents. There was something I loved about Safari but now, when put against niche, it’s lacking. I’d like to hear someone say, ‘ this is like Safari but better or this is like a modern Shalimar.’ I guess I’m looking for modern dupes for 80/90s scents! You’re such a great communicator!

What a fun video! I wore and loved Lauren and Tatiana in the early 80s. In the late 80s I loved Ysatis. A friend in college wore Paloma Picasso and it always wafted out of her dorm room and I loved it. I also loved Calvin Klein Red in the early 80s.

I wore ESTEE Leader's Cinnabar to a bonfire. Everyone was getting eaten alive by Huge mosquitoes, except me. I researched the scent, and discovered it included Patchouli, and that scent repels bugs. .I look for it every summer! AND Knowing was my daughter's go to, and she smelliied SO good always.

I wore Obsession way back when and repurchased it in the early 2000s and was sure they had changed it a fair bit! I thought it was simply my changing tastes but it seems they did change the notes since the very first run x

Thanks Veronica !!! I ❤ your videos. I remember wearing Knowing, and it just became too sharp and strong for me. I love Calyxx, and would probably wear it if I ever purchased it again. You’re making me want to try Bijon Nude. I loved Obsession. I still wear Opium, Youth Dew, and Shalimar, and I will continue to. I worked in the fragrance department at Marshall Field’s. Tea Rose is just tooo much, and women just loved it 😅.

Oh so many memories with most of these. I could write a book about almost every one! I would have a REALLY hard time decluttering most of these. When I was 18 I worked for Prescriptives and was at my little counter when Calyx launched. I would go home reeking of it. I still love the OG. The new one is nothing like it. I still need to get a vintage mini of White Linen, it's sooo 80's. Loved this video.🥰

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh Christie! 🥰 I could imagine you standing in a cloud of Calyx that made its way home every night! 💕 Oh my! Such powerful stuff.

[@morganlefay2599]

It was my signature scent in the early 90's, loved it!

[@susannagaraway9171]

Omg thank you for bringing me so much joy on this Sunday!!! this is THE BEST video I watched this year. I'm remembering all these scents you're mentioning and wow it is just taking me back. First of all Michael by MK was THE scent in the early 2000s for me and my girlfriends. It solidified my love for white florals and it, gosh, it brings me back to some amazing moments!! I wish I had bottles of Michael today. Ck Obsession! I never wore it but it's impossible to forget that one. It was all the rage. Just like Angel, Obsession was too bombarding for me, it made me feel ill. 🤢 I loved Amarige, though. Chantilly!!!!! 🤣 Yesss ofc I remember! And my Aunt and my close friend wore Red Door! 😂 Looking back at my fragrance history is cringe, to say the least. When I was 19 I worked at this store called "Garden Botanika" - they made a perfume called "Heart" and as saleswomen we were always told to douse ourselves in Heart. It was a pink juice and I believe it's still available today. I was so basic with my perfumes back then: I loved Tommy Girl, Cool Water, Morning Glory, Adidas Moves Her, Happy, Candie's, Jasmine Therapy, Satsuma, Country Apple, Juniper Breeze, Plumeria, Pear Glace, Vanilla Lace, Lovespell, Strawberries + Champagne, Gap Dream, Vanilla Musk, Fire&Ice.... I bought a bottle of Chanel Coco when I was 23 and it was my first "womanly" perfume. It was very pricey for me at the time, but I just remember feeling so beautiful and grown in it, and my college boyfriend loved it on me. My Mother wore Elizabeth Arden White Diamonds :))) and Blue Grass. 💕

[@VeronicaSays]

Awwww thank you for this comment! It is so touching and makes all the work of these videos worthwhile! I owned Heart from Garden Botanika but recently decluttered it, only because it was light. BUT! What a lovely scent. Thanks for sharing your memories!
