This video was one of my favourites that you have ever done ❤️. I was born in 1980 so this was a walk down memory lane 🥹. I had so many of these perfumes and even now if I smell them it takes me back in time. The 80s and 90s were the best time to be alive. I wish the world could go back to this way of living life was so much more relaxed and carefree ☺️.

[@SarahMayes]

Absolutely! I would love to go back to those days. ❤️

[@SarahMayes]

@@nancymarkiewicz8123 I do remember them but I didn’t have them. ❤️🥰

[@tlc2964]

Same 9/80 ! My favorite was Ici

[@wyattearpswoman838]

Amen sis!! I wish my daughter could know the world, and particularly, the America that we knew back then. Oh, the nostalgia of those times.💜

[@sherlocknessmonster60]

Fellow Gen X girl here, I love this list! Exclamation!!! I loved that one so much. I got it in my Christmas stocking in 1988 and I wore that so often . . . if a junior high schooler could have a signature scent that was mine. It reminds me of Guess and Esprit sweatshirts and orthodontist appointments. I also wore Malibu Musk all the time. Skin Musk was my jam, too. All of those scents remind me of White Rain and Miss Clairol hairspray, big perms and claw bangs, blue mascara, Wet and Wild frosted lip gloss, prank calling boys, sleepovers, sneaking out to toilet paper houses . . . sigh, so many memories!

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! And the LA Gear tennis shoes with the colored twist things on the sides. Hyper color t shirts…

[@TeganM.C.]

I love your channel! You have to be the best perfume reviewer on KZbin in my opinion. Your reviews are in depth and I can tell your passion by the way you explain each scent. Great video!

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you so much! ❤️🥰🙏

[@annastasiabeverhaus]

I was just talking to a friend about this. I’ve been wearing perfume since I was about 10 years old. My mother always wore perfume and of course I would sneak into her room and spray myself and loved the way she smelled. I decided last year to collect all the perfumes I wore during each major relationship in my life. The scents I wore with all the men I loved. Just a few are Givenchy Amariage, Prescriptives Calyx and Ralph Lauren Romance 🥰

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@maggspaine5419]

I wore sea jade by Yardley many moons ago when I first met my boyfriend ,perfume was in a seahorse shaped bottle

[@tatianacatherine5070]

I loved every second of this. 💘I couldn't agree more about the mid life crisis thing. The moment I turned 27 it's like all of a sudden life has hit me across the face and I'm questioning every decision I make. It's definitely a relief knowing other people have battled this too. When I was a kid my mom wore Opium too😍 that was and still is her favorite! She moved on to Chanel Coco Edp after they reformulated Opium. 😊 Unfortunately my teenage years were the highlight of some of the worst perfume releases of all time (i.e. Marc Jacobs Daisy, VS Love Spell, etc). It's so cheesy but the first perfume I ever had was Tatiana by DvF 😂 gifted to me by grandma when I was 7 or 8. DvF also had a store in NY called Tatiana named after her daughter. The scent is not my cup of tea but I will always hold on to it. I had 3 perfume obsessions in high school: the original Ralph Lauren Romance, Angel, and the signature Michael Kors. I could not afford any full bottles of them so I would hoard samples of all of them and just savor it 😂

[@SarahMayes]

Isn’t that crazy! I guess your 20’s are the new 40’s. I had a much harder time dealing with getting older back then than I do now. Getting older is actually such a blessing. Everything comes into focus and you can see the things that actually matter. I love that you have a bottle of Tatiana! I love the story behind that fragrance and it is fitting that you grandma gave it to you! ❤️🥰🫶

[@ashb5733]

I think it used to be called Eckerd pharmacy! I used to get my Juice Bar Gummy Bear body spray from there 😂.

[@aditi3333]

I'm so happy and grateful to have grown up in the 80,s/90's! ❤I love the fragrances from that era, and still love Obsession, Opium, Cinnabar, etc!

[@SarahMayes]

Me too! What a blessing for us! ❤️🥰

[@jackiesasfai4162]

Oh I loved this thumbnail!! I’m very nostalgic with perfume scents. My Mom was a huge White Shoulders lover and the smell is so comforting to me. I can remember spraying it and using the body powder in the peach square with the beautiful lid! I have so many scent memories, I’m also a little older than you! My first perfume was Elizabeth Arden’s Eau Fraiche, 6th grade! As cheerleader’s and Drill Team we all wore Liz Claiborne in the triangle colored bottles and Lauren. All the guys wore Polo, yikes I can’t stand the smell! I wanted Chanel #5 and I got the EDT every Christmas! Then a lot of girls wore Sand & Sable. Then came Calvin Kleins!! Eternity & Escape! I also have lots of nostalgia with Dior Poison’s, Donna Karan’s, Alfred Sung & Karl Lagerfeld SM&S’s. My gateways into better perfumes was Paloma Picasso,Beautiful and Boucheron early 20’s. Escada’s & Tommy Hilfiger & Cool Water! I wanted to be different! I hate Paloma Picasso now!They all use to be so good! I remember loving Skin Musk by Coty!! My favorite video!!!😊 2:22

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! Liz Claiborne and Jessica Mclintock were two more that were amazing, also Gloria Vanderbilt! ❤️🥰

[@user-sg6ji2kk3u]

Remember wearing the Slouchy Just below the knee boots with the Heel to My Highschool especially in Fall & Winter with long fashionable wool Button down coats just past the knee and a Bkack Longstap Leather Hobo Bag Purse . This was a Very in Style and wearing your hair long with Hoop earrings band the most expensive b perfume you owned . It was the the early80s 80-84. I was one of these girls . And I loved it !! Such great memories !!

[@catherinegrewcock3703]

I loved your video so much, and it brought back so many happy perfume memories. I am 51 now but remember going to nightclubs wear Ysatis or Anais Anais. There was no such thing as smelling mature or old lady in those days. Happy days 😊 xx

[@jessica62583]

My first perfumes were Baby Soft and Far Away by Avon. Both bring me right back to the early 90’s 😌

[@naturopathicobsessedrenee5515]

I love for these vintage videos. The impact of fragrance in my life is so profound to me. It connects me to memories like nothing else. And the 80’s were the best for everything. I often refer to it as the last best decade. ❤

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! I would love to go back to the 80’s. ❤️🥰

[@anasalgado381]

My vintage loves are Eden, Eternity and Poison ❤

[@karil6461]

My nostalgic scents: Loves Baby Soft Jasmine, Fetish, Sun Rippened Raspberry, VS 2000 Aquarius super impossible to find, cotton candy scents, strawberries and champagne, windsong, avon bubble baths

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@jennifergoldstein9324]

Omfgggg I LOVE this. I'm in the same age group as you and I love Muse. I love remembering all these scents with you. I remember the Revlon fragrances from the 80s with the cindy crawford ads. 😭 My bff's old signature was Tommy Girl before she moved on to Light Blue. That smell takes me right back to our days going to Green Day concerts and getting a brow piercing. Cringe. Lutece from the 80s is the most nostalgic because it was my mother's signature. :) It was just me & her growing up and I have amazing memories attached to it. Fragrances that were significant in my life were Sirene, Toujours Moi, the old Warm Vanilla Sugar, Sunflowers, Halston Sheer, Creature d'Anges, Fiorucci (made it my signature in Y2k, ugh the memories, it was the most carefree time in my life, reminds me of one of my first true loves), Origins Ginger, Light Blue, JLo Glow & Love at First Glow (loved mixing them together), Coco Mademoiselle, Paris Hilton, Calgon Hawaiian Ginger body mist, BS Midnight Fantasy. 💞

[@SarahMayes]

Oh my goodness I had forgotten about origins Ginger. I loved it. I had the perfume and body Souffle. Ugh, facial piercings and Green Day. 😂 Green Day was my favorite on 9th grade. I was obsessed. 🤦‍♀️❤️

[@susannagaraway9171]

My mom wore Blue Grass. That's about all i remember her liking. But I remember all of the ones you mentioned!!! I loved Vanilla Fields, Sunflowers in my early youth. Red Jeans became my first "signature" I really wore the heck out of that.... or rather it wore me 🤦‍♀😅. I went through a heavy phase with Candies, Cool Water obviously and definitely Clinique Happy. Happy made me feel like a million bucks ✨ Adidas made a scent called Moves with a turquois cap...Loved that one. I loved escada's fruity bombs in my 20s like Tropical Punch, Sunset Heat, all those... I couldn't afford much in college so I remember getting a cheap body mist called Morning Glory and then VS made a pear body spray.

[@SarahMayes]

Oh those first 4 gap scents were so good. Heaven, Dream, Om and Grass. Then later with Pink. I’ve had them all. Also the early VS scents, Love Spell and that whole garden collection. So good! ❤️🥰

[@erindianne711]

Hi Sarah! I remember all those perfumes! I had Exclamation but my love was for Navy! I would ask for it at every Xmas and birthday. I wish I could find it again! I agree that perfume went downhill in the 2000s! Back in the 80s and 90s each perfume was unique and there wasn’t flanker after flanker. What a wonderful memory of your mom and Poison. For me it’s Emeraude that takes me back to my childhood and mom! 💕

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Love! Yes! Now days they just release a million flankers and it gets old. We can still get Navy here but it’s probably not the same. 😂 ❤️🥰🫶

[@marybethb1029]

This was such a good stroll down memory lane with these fragrances!! I wish I could get a hold of the original formula of Cinnabar, I wore it in the 80’s. Your right the reformulated version is missing that rich, sweet ,spicy blend of notes. Opium YSL, and Calvin Klein Obsession would also be nice to have the original formulas. !!💞💜💖🌸

[@bhawinidwivedy]

Loved it Sarah! This video was so beautifully sentimental!!!! ❤❤

[@apartirdelos50s32]

❤Poison❤ my Signature Perfume ❤ Now is not the same but is still in my collection ❤ also Samsara and Lauren by Ralph Lauren

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@susanwilliams6058]

You mentioned 80s potpourri and I instantly thought of Claire Burke Original scent. Very popular potpourri in the 80s.

[@catladyrhonda9904]

I’m so pleased by this! I remember spending a weeks wages buying Poison back in 1986.💯💯 I begun wearing Samsara when I was 21. Fell in love the moment I sniffed it. ❤. Dynamisante from Clarins was another old signature

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@ildolce204]

I just received Lancôme tresor and I only bought it for The scent memory of my mom wearing it (I grew up in The 90s), its a real 90s classic for me

[@lindita4752]

I had Blue Lady, Perfumer's Workshop, Coco, #5, #22, Boucheron, Rumba, Tendre Poison, Amarige, Fendi Fantasia, Volupté, Organza, Poeme, Escada en Fleurs, Escada Tender Light, Samsara, Calvin Klein Essence of Obsession oils, something else I wore in mid-80s in a silver tin bottle that I can't remember the name...

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@susanklingenberg4365]

I SAT THRU THE WHOLE VIDEO! What a fun video to watch. You truly are the biggest perfume fan, starting at 3 years old! I laugh when I think of you smelling like a grown woman in the 3rd grade! And YES, the 80's were the greatest decade!!! OK so my first perfume memories were kinda funny. I have family that lives in Buenos Aires Argentina and they sent me a bottle of a child's perfume called COQUETERIAS. The bottle was adorable as it looks like a little girl and you take the hat (lid) off to spray it. Well this perfume was HORRIBLE to me, but like a good little girl, I would spray it on before church and just suffer through the massive headaches it would trigger. Oh boy! When my daughter was born they sent her a reformulated bottle and it was just as horrible! I never let her wear it! I didnt really enjoy perfume too much when I was young (im 53) but I did LOVE my bottles of Anais Anais and Lauren. And there was one called Aspen that I loved as well. I took a 20 year break from wearing any fragrance at all, but that all changed during the pandemic. Something in me changed and I am LOVING perfume now! I really enjoy your videos, your passion for fragrance really shines through!

[@SarahMayes]

😂😂😂 I have heard that a lot with little girls having perfumes just for them. I hate that it smelled bad! ❤️🥰

[@skinscentsforfusspots]

I love it when you make long videos! Such a fun one! Ps, everyone at school wore CK One and I wore Coty Wild Musk and Tribe! I'm on the Calvin Klein train now though.... my faves are CK2 (niche AF hot rain on cold pebbles!), obsession night (omg creamy, floral heaven!) And obsessed for women (herbal, musky, sexy skin!). I remember smelling Euphoria when it came out and thinking it smelt like pineapple 😅

[@sherlocknessmonster60]

Yes, Tribe!!! I was in high school when it came out, and I wore it often. I think if I were to smell it now, it would feel like a time machine back to 1991 and I would have some powerful memories come flooding back . . . drama and debate class, Doc Martens, teen angst . . .

[@angiesmith9941]

Oh, man, I forgot about those cans of Malibu Musk! I loved that stuff when I was a kid. Sand and Sable is nostalgic to me because my mom wore it a lot when I was very young. My very first fragrance, before Malibu Musk, was a Strawberry Shortcake solid perfume that was housed inside a Strawberry Shortcake brooch. I was obsessed with it. 😂 In middle school I wore Vanilla Fields. In high school, it was all Cool Water, CK One, CK Be, or pear glacé body spray from Victoria’s Secret. 😂 We must be pretty close to the same age.

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@neysam1221]

I loved Poison, Giorgio & Charlie Naturals in the 80's. 🤍

[@velvettrance3173]

Oh my gosh I love this so much. I am a hugely nostalgic person and scent is like a time machine almost. I so wish I could go back and experience all these perfumes again with full appreciation of what would soon be lost. I agree with you about so many things taking a nosedive after the millennium. At least we have our memories to treasure. Such a wonderful video, I loved every minute 💗💗💗

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Love! I so wish I could go back and just hang on to every perfume o ever had! ❤️🥰😘🫶

[@mariamarin9178]

I was in my late teens early 20s in the 80s. I had many of the perfumes you mentioned. Three perfumes I also wore that I loved were Camp Beverly Hills, New West for Her, and California by Jaclyn Smith. The 80s was such an amazing decade.

[@SarahMayes]

It really was! ❤️🥰

[@prettypetals1]

OMG,why are you telling my perfume story?Hahaha! I swear,too many similarities,you have GREAT taste! Rite Aid use to be called Thrifty's! So yessss,I LOVED Poison,Exclamation(it is not as deep and fragrant as the original version),Samba,Tribute,L'Effleur(such a dreamy,beautiful bottle).Escape(To this day! I will ALWAYS have this.)It is true they don't make the fragrances the way they use to back then at all.I really miss smelling all the different beautiful fragrances every where you went.And going to Sak's,Marshall Fields,The Broadway,etc... and spritzing myself with all the beautiful rich,amazing,fragrances I couldn't afford at the time and asking for samples.Drug store perfumes were so beautiful and top quality as well.They use to make such beautiful bottles for all the different fragrances back then also.The original Tiffany's Perfume.Tea Rose,Anne Klien,Anne Klein 2,Versus by Versace.Chloe Narcisse.

Thank you for the absolutely amazing, boss review!😊

[@coffeeandcream4704]

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you! ❤️🥰

[@heartitraces74]

I had to comment again because this video really had me travel down memory lane 🥰 Some fragrances that are nostalgic to me as a fellow gen x’er are: Dune - Dior Coco - Chanel Safari - Ralph Laure (like you - I have a tiny sampler left - why did I discard that gorgeous bottle 😭) Dewberry - The Body Shop (I still have it as well as Fuzzy Peach!) Gio - Armani (oh how I would love to own this one again too 😢) Classique - Jean Paul Gaultier 1881 - Cerruti (repurchased a year ago but sadly the reformulation is not as good 😢) Happy - Clinique Theorama - Fendi - I still have a teeny bit left! Le Tigre - Kenzo (I still have a small amount 🙏🏻) Yin - Jacques Fath (I still have this one too!) We were so lucky to be alive during the times of such extraordinary fragrances!! Thank you again for doing this video!!

[@SarahMayes]

That is amazing that you still have some Dewberry! That is so nostalgic for me as well. All of the ones you mentioned are amazing! ❤️🥰

[@dianelitman5956]

One big fave was called Havoc by Mary Quant. It came in a black and silver can. I wore it when I’d go out to the discos with my girlfriends. Still have one, from way back then that I keep for the memories. Loved the video.

[@SarahMayes]

That is amazing! I remember that name. ❤️

[@ladyjmarie5569]

Child of the 80s here and I totally agree how it went downhill after 2000

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@maggspaine5419]

My boys have memories of the red topped bottles of red door,by Elizabeth Arden,which I still use,I don't think the fragrance lasts as long now,but I still use occasionally

[@florinagagliardi8086]

Love your channel ❣️🌸 Wow!! Loved all these fragrances, I wore many! I Loved wearing Samba 🩷 it was fresh and fruity.😅 I was was in my late twenties, I wore to go clubbing☺️👌🏼🌸🌷 Thank you so much for sharing! Brought back some great memories ☺️🩷☺️🌸🌷🌻 Sun Moon & Stars! Loved it👌🏼🎉

[@cmk9495]

I wish I had perfume memories. My mom wasn’t a huge perfume person, I think she had givenchy hot couture. There’s certainly nostalgia when it comes to certain perfumes that were popular when I was in high school and during my college days. Great video idea ❤❤

[@toryaanderson659]

My first fragrance was a Christmas gift. I was in Middle School I asked my mother to get Forever Krystle from Dynasty

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@YoTratoYTrato]

Wow, nastolgic parfumes... Definitely Liz Claiborne for men, Polo (Og Green bottle) Obsession Men, Elizabeth Taylor Passion for men, CK One, Davidoff CoolWater and Aspen by Coty are a few

[@jetbaby2t]

Gloria Vanderbilt and Tresor, my mom wore For me: Exclamation, for sure. Tommy Girl, CoolWater, Sunflowers, Gucci Rush, GAP Dream. Good times in the 90s Chelsea Campbell had a beautiful perfume in the 90s that my godmother gifted to me, and I treasured that one so much.

[@jetbaby2t]

OH! and Bone Bell had a line of shower gels and body sprays, and I LIVED in the peach scent throughout junior high, lol!

[@Jess.Gers80]

Aw I love these types of videos. 💖 I just watched Veronica Says talk about her nostalgic perfumes. 💖 There is a reason these videos are so popular, we all like to remember beautiful things of the past. ❤Your memory of Poison with your Mom is heart-warming and made me smile. I was born in 1980. Like you, I have been a life-long perfume addict. 😊 First bottles...Baby Soft, Tribe and Malibu Musk as a wrapped Xmas gift and my older sister had Beverly Hills 90210 amongst a boatload of other scents. My sister still wears Amarige 💛- it is classic. I did not like Navy either, I remember those magazine ads, and I had Exclamation but I barely used it. Eternity was my (and my twin sister's) biggest obsession. That stuff was inescapable in the 90's! I probably wore Eternity for a solid 6 years. I still whip it out now and then but it's not nearly as special as it once was. I was obsessed with sporty aquatics in college. Cool Water, Sunflowers, some of the Body Shop oils like Juba or White Muk, DKNY Women, CK1, Alyssa Ashley Green Tea Essence or the plain Alyssa Ashley Musk was also divine, Ghost, & Clinique Happy, iconic! Post-college I was wearing Light Blue, L'eau d'Issey, Ocean Dream, or Be Delicious. I couldn't stand Cashmere Mist because that smell was overbearingly strong coupled with the fact that I was working at a massage parlor at the time and my coworker used to come in drenched in Cashmere Mist...big headache inducer🥴! 👎 When you held up the bottle of Miss Dior Cherie that brought me happy tears!💖 I remember it in stores while shopping with my Mom & sisters over Christmas in NY 2006. Amazing Grace was my jam during my 30s and became a signature for a while. My 30s were rocky, I was divorced alone and binge-eating, thus I've kept Amazing Grace in the past.💖

[@SarahMayes]

😘❤️😘❤️

[@tillyp9953]

It's so funny how fragrance can unlock memories! I recently bought a new bottle of Vanilla Fields because I wore that when it came out, and as soon as I sprayed it and smelled it, the first memory that came to me was "Jurassic Park" lol. I must have been wearing it when I went to see that movie! I worked in a drug store back then so I remember either buying a lot of the perfumes out at that time, or spraying the testers on myself daily. I miss those simpler times for sure! I was also lucky enough to recently find an original bottle of Electric Youth tucked away in my bathroom cabinet. My mom sent it to me maybe 15 years ago for Christmas as a nostalgic gift. I think she got it on Ebay. I was sure I got rid of it when we moved awhile ago, so it was a nice surprise to find it. I'm mad at myself for getting rid of some of my other older perfumes when we moved, but I'm sure the ones I tossed had gone off and didn't smell good anymore.

[@SarahMayes]

Oh my goodness that is amazing that you have Electric Youth! ❤️🥰

[@Danya-ns3tx]

Chloe signature is my favorite scent of all time. I love these vintage fragrance videos. I've been bingeing them since yesterday. 😊😊😊 I was always in the presence of fragrances growing up.

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@eleanorhahn246]

The only signature in my life was CK Sheer Obsession. I could never pull off original Obsession but when they released Sheer ... 🙌omg! 💘

[@staceywunsch2123]

Electric Youth and Malibu Musk were my first fragrances too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had completely forgotten about Malibu Musk, but now I remember I was obsessed with it!

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Portianwachukwu9636]

Great video. I wore estee lauder's pleasure, white linen, beautiful, tuscany and knowing back in 1997/97. I loved all 5. I still get myself pleasures, white linen and beautiful. I got tuscany and knowing but had to return them. I loved sculpture by Nikos. I'm still searching for it. It's discontinued but I pray to find a bottle..

[@lavoixdevelours]

One I always loved but never bought was Ralph Hot. Bath and Body Works Brown Sugar and Fig was kind of like it. I loved that smell. There's more than a few perfumes I wish I had bought because now they're gone forever or very weak.

[@SarahMayes]

Hot was beautiful! ❤️

[@natalieh7037]

I will always repurchase Poison. Both, Poison and Hypnotic Poison, have the most incredible drydown. I so agree with you about Poison standing the test of time. ❤

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@marilyncapehart663]

You have some interesting fragrances. Thanks for sharing them. 6-27-2023❤. I remember those because I did wear fragrances my MoM & Sister was into Fragrances

[@dana.gold5]

had to come back and watch this for a 2nd time

[@dannielleewellee]

My mom only had white shoulders. She wasn't into perfume . I remember smelling my grandma's opium! And when I was little I remember getting samba, Malibu musk, and sunflowers for Xmas. When I got to junior high I bought vanilla fields and Walmart dupes for escape , obsession and ck one cause that's all I could afford ! Escape was my favorite. When I got to high school is when bath and body works got popular and of course I had pear berry, warm vanilla sugar and plumeria 😂.

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! Bath & Body works was big too and my scents were Pear Berry and Warm Vanilla Sugar. ❤️🥰

[@sharonlee2005]

I am a lot older than you but you certainly sent me back in time. My first few perfumes were love baby soft and Charlie in a solid inside an apple necklace I think, and colours by bentonite and Prince Matchebelli Windsong and white shoulders.

[@juliemcleod9869]

She sounds like Stevie Nicks to me!❤

[@ashley.a.free10]

I wore White Musk by TBS forever. Gosh, at least 25 years... I wore Fendi too.. and some of those Healing Garden ones, Lavender Therapy and something else. :) Golden times.

[@SarahMayes]

Healing Gardens Lavender Therapy was big for me in my late teens/early 20’s too. It was so strong! ❤️

[@julieschnorenberg5370]

[@nancyflorida9863]

What a fantastic video!!! Great storytelling. Really was transported into another era. Yeah, there was once a time where it was all about having a signature scent. I had a few of those, wearing a perfume til the last drop. Nowadays, I would not be able to. In need of a constant change. I have a semi-vintage poison formulation from 2004. I find it so comforting and luscious! P.S. I have not smelled Exclamation in forever! It was so good! That and Vanilla Fields were amazing! Navy was my jam! I also liked Coty's Ici! How crazy it is that you could find fragrances of such caliber at drug stores?

[@SarahMayes]

Right?! The drugstore was amazing back then. Now it’s all cheap and watered down. 😭

[@user-jp8ox9xi2j]

I believe it was called Rexcell Drugs and the perfumes you mentioned I used them and they smelled so gorgeous.

[@laurieutterback6939]

Wow, what an awesome video! I have had some of those perfumes. ❤❤

[@prettypetals1]

Oh yes, and the original Prada Tendre perfume was in the same vein as the original Euphoria.

[@pokerbugg]

Omg! Couldn’t for the life of me remember the name Samba! I would describe the bottle on google and nothing came up. Saw the thumbnail of this video and immediately recognized the bottle! Thank you ❤️. Just found one on eBay.

I’m loving your hair like that and I love the title of this video ♥️👍🏻

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you Love! ❤️🥰

[@netazzz6815]

This was so amazing! loved to hear your journey, so interesting the memories we have from different scents 😍 When I was young, perfumes were very expensive and not very available (we didn't have those cheaper drugstore oneslike in the US), so I got perfumes when my parents bought them from abroad or the duty free and also got those Minnie ones from the sets. My mom was always modern, so she wore newer scents and we have different taste so I didn't like most of them 😆 my favorite of hers was definitely Poeme - love it ! My most beloved nostalgic perfumes Talisman eau Transparente Balenciaga, Tuscany Per Donna ( Estée Lauder?) and Eau Florale Christian Lacroix (that I had a bit later , in high school)🥰

[@annettecohen5678]

I wore one called An Invitation To Trouble. I loved Cherie Currie and The Runaways I even died my hair black because of Joan Jett

[@SarahMayes]

😂 I love it! ❤️

[@stephaniec4766]

What a wonderful idea for a video and an excellent execution of it I adored watching and listening!

Yeah, I think the drug store before Rite Aid in this area was Eckerds. And back in the good ole days, I remember wearing a few Avon samplers my Mom would pass on to me, and Baby Soft, and Red, until I discovered Ghost Myst by Coty. Man! I miss Ghost Myst. Wore it for years until I couldn’t find it anymore. Then started wearing Guess (pink & silver bottle) and Burberry Brit (khaki plaid cover). Great video, Sarah 👍🏻

[@daniellecleveland8329]

My mom wore Liz Claiborne the one in the triangle with primary color lids. 🥰🥰 and Anne Klein the original. Those take me way back. My first perfume was Loves Baby Soft.

[@ToniaAlex13]

Gab blue 655 is one I remembered my sister had I was still a teen and I remember sniffing the bottle and really loved it. Can't believe it's discontinued

[@jendra9549]

This is my favorite video ever! Born in 85, I wore almost everyone of these!! Fire and ice was my girl! 😂. Soki London has a perfume that smells very similar to Cherie, strawberry popcorn combo.

[@kdvk1986]

Amarige was my favorite 🙂 My signature all through high school. My parents got me a bottle of Jivago when I was 17 because I aced my finals (haha) and it smelled so good. In the 2000s I loved Pleasures Intense, Addict and Envy Me!

[@GiselleGutierrez]

Wow. So many memories. I love every minute. This make me realice that before the Internet, "time" in Mexico (and any other corner of the world out of United States) passed so slow, I mean, a lot of this fragances arrive around 3 or 5 years after they did there. Thanks for sharing!!

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! Life before the internet was beautiful. I would love to go back. ❤️🥰

[@TiaanBReviews]

Awww...I love exclamation ❤great video...love your makeup

[@SarahMayes]

[@bebright123]

Love L’Eau d’Issey, especially in the summer!

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! Congratulations on winning the Dreamhouse contest Barb! ❤️🥰

[@bebright123]

@@SarahMayes Thanks so much-I was so excited when I heard the news!!! Coralie is the one I chose in case I would win-I can’t wait to try it! ❤️ And thank YOU for introducing me to that amazing house! I think I have about 10 of Vincent’s fragrances now plus one for my husband too (Handsome Devil)! 🥰 I also ordered some samples of his Perfumeology exclusives-In Perpetuum is high on my wish list!

[@laurens_perfume_closet296]

My grandma wore EL White Linen, Norell and Shalimar. My mom loved Anais anais, 1990's VS Victoria, Burberry Society, and L'eau d'Issey. I wore the Strawberry, White Musk, Juba, & Satsuma oils from the body shop. I liked Yves Rocher "Apricot " Edt. Naomi Campbell's Naomagic (she did bomb scents), Maybe Baby, Bruno Banani, Be Delicious, Guess and Burberry Brit in the early 2000's. When Bombshell hit the market I wore that a lot.

[@claudialevesque6993]

SO enjoyed this video!!!♥️ As always, my best to the arachnids... 🕷️😊

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you! They are both doing great! ❤️🥰

[@yveliseperalta3024]

Thank you so much for this video,because I totally agree with you and loved the era of the 80s and 90s the best of everything🥹personal opinion!! Sending love and Blessings 🙏🏽💕

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@daniellemarino5247]

Totally remember fresh brown sugar also along with the laura mercierperfumes and pure grace by philosophy. 😊❤

[@lisarobles1148]

Thank you! For making this video. I was in my teens, and early twenties and I've worn most of the fragrances you talked about. I totally agree that a lot of the fragrances are not as good because of reformalating them😔

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sandisteko9067]

Calvin Klein escape still is so good. My sister giftet me with eternety recently ,I was amazed how strong it is,not remembering it that way.Sun ,moon and Stars was my signature 😊. Love,love,love

[@danielaalba220]

Such a good idea for a video♥♥♥♥ I was born in the 90s so I def wasn't around for most of these but I enjoy hearing how much they impacted you. Scent is so important to me too. My mom always wore Perry Ellis 360 like that was her scent ALL. THE. TIME. her clothes even smelled like it. Loved it. If it wasnt for that, I may not have ever garnered a passion for scent.

[@SarahMayes]

It’s so cool that no matter when you were born you can usually associate a scent with your mom. My daughter won’t have that because o wear something new every day but she has an amazing perfume collection! ❤️🥰

[@lisawithans]

LOVE you haircut!!!❤ I still have a bottle of Tribu I love it! I do like exclamation

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you! That is amazing that you still have Tribu! ❤️🥰

[@dorkacon9207]

Haha Such a wonderful blast from the past. I am here for it ❣I started wearing perfumes when I was 11 and my dad did not approve and told me to take it off. My mom and grandma would say "Let it go! It's just perfume!" but I completely understand where he was coming from now that I'm a mom of 2 daughters. My go to's were any Victoria Secret scents... I guess in my head I thought if you wore Victoria Secret that meant you were grown and sexy! LOL... I had Body, I had every vanilla scent they made... I had the Pink perfume that came in that cylinder polka dot case... I had Glow by JLo for a short period and some Gap ones. :) My mom never wore stuff until later in life. She loved original Classique by JPG, Amarige, and L'eau d'Issey.

[@mollys7197]

When I was little my mom liked Jovan White Musk, something called Angelfire, and maybe Heaven Sent. Now that I think of it someone bought my sister and me a bottle of Malibu Musk as a birthday gift (I'm a twin) along with a Charlie bottle. When you mentioned it I thought oh that sounds familiar, did a google search, and yup I definitely owned that at one point. I was so stinkin obsessed with True Love from Elizabeth Arden (idk why) when I smelled it on my older cousin at the time, she wore it all the time, I was just taken by it I loved hearing you mention DKNY Women because I remember that one so strongly and loved it. I liked all the CKs like One, Be, Escape, Truth. D&G made a fragrance called Fem that was to die. I liked wearing the Chanel men's Allure Homme Sport back then, too.

[@SarahMayes]

True Love was such a a amazing scent back then! I still love it and wear it but it’s definitely not the same. ❤️

[@cece5767]

Omg I got so excited when you showed malibu musk, I used to wear that, navy, and exclamation as a kid. Exclamation was such a sweet fragrance that would remind me of madonna, Tiffany, and debbie Gibson music. I listened to music more than movies back then. I wore vanilla fields in the 90s. I remember asking my mom to buy me white diamonds as a kid, of course I never got it. 😂 You brought back so many good memories.

[@SarahMayes]

I love it! ❤️🥰

[@isadoralovesperfume.7919]

I fall in "oldest millennial" (born feb 1981) but I think of myself as a Gen X-er 😉 since I'm right on the cusp. We were wearing the same juices. Yes the Gaga perfume was a big eye-roll. I'll mention the ones I also loved that you didn't mention: Babysoft, Fresh Lemon, Liz Sport, Gap Grass, Vanilla Musk, Incognito, Ciara, Anais Anais, DNA, Body Shop White Musk and Spirit of Moonflower, Estee Lauder Beautiful, VS Pretty in Pink, VS Rapture, Revlon Flair, Gucci Rush, Midnight Fantasy, Lancome Miracle, Gucci I and II. Loved Opium (my mom's favorite) and Youth Dew (a real stinker at first but grew on me over time.)💜💜💜💜💜

[@SarahMayes]

I definitely consider you Gen X. My husband was born in 1984 and I definitely consider him Gen X too. ❤️🥰

[@DearMeNoUserName]

What a great video. Thank you for taking us down memory lane. I too remember going through my parents closet. YSL Opium (the one in the tall thin orange/brown bottle) is what I remember and Givenchy Amarige! I would spray that sucker and go to school - I was around 11 haha.

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@leahmiranda8359]

Hello......I came across your channel this morning....and I'm so glad I did! This was the best video I've seen in....forever.. I was born in 1949, soon to be 74. My mother wore Windsong by Prince Machiabelli. After watching this, I found and bought a bottle. Even if I don't wear it, I'll smell it.... and remember.... My first perfume was a bottle of Chantilly by Dana that my grandmother gave me when I was 12. I still have that empty bottle! In my mid teens l wore Ambush, also by Dana. I moved on to Emeraude by Coty and Yardley April Violets in my late teens. In my 20s I wore Youth Dew bath oil as fragrance, Tigress, Woodhue, Aphrodesia, and Babe (all by Faberge).. Then came Opium when I was 28! I nearly fainted with pleasure the first time l sniffed Opium! I wore Opium, Obsession, Poison, and Hypnotic Poison, consistently until 5 years ago.......I was tired of everything! I didn't mention the few I tried over the years that didn't 'stick'. I actually started wearing Timeless by Avon, and Frankincense and Myrrh Fragrance Oil from Indigo Wild. This past April, my passion was reignited. I started with Angels Share by Killian.........and fell down a rabbit hole with no bottom! 😂😂😂😂 I hope I haven't bored you to death..... I loved this video so much! P.S.......I'm subscribed..😊

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and welcome! ❤️🥰

[@cocopepper819]

This is by far my favorite video of yours! My first signature scent, at 18 years old, was Victoria's Secret Endless Love. 💙

[@msvmedina75]

Omg! We totally grew up in the same era. I remember my Tribu, Samba, Exclamation!, l'effleur, alabaster by banana rep, tres jourdan, the charlies, the calvin kleins... what a wonderful era. Thanks for bringing back the wonderful memories
