SCENTS OF THE 70's: HALSTON, OPIUM, AFFORDABLE MUSKS, AND MORE!

[@roringusanda2837]

💕🌸I was so angry when I found out Love's Baby Soft is clear now. A big part of the look was that it was a gorgeous pink juice! And the Rain scent was that watery green, and Fresh Lemon was yellow.

[@sabrinaandbenji1390]

It's much weaker.now too if I'm nit mistaken. I will never be able to smell the original

[@roringusanda2837]

Do you remember the commercials for Aviance ? Gonna have an Aviance night🎶

[@annexkatherine]

Opium was a favorite of the goth chicks when I was in high school in the 80s (along with Obsession and Poison). My favorite 70s fragrance was Babe by Fabergé. They brought that fragrance back in England, but I ordered a bottle of it and it doesn’t smell anything like I remember.

[@sabrinaandbenji1390]

Opium is so herby its not even pretty its industrial to my nose. How did goth kids like it?

[@HeritageCarriage]

I was born in 75 and i remember as a younger kid getting the Loves Baby Soft gift sets.

[@naturopathicobsessedrenee5515]

You nailed this video! I wore every single one of these and have been adding them back into my collection

[@marymack3276]

I love cheap musks too. I’m addicted to Wild Musk and Skin Musk❤️❤️

[@limelightlass5018]

They're classics!

[@seventiesgirl6449]

I love the 1970's too. Everything was better, even fragrances. Halston, Opium, Aromatics Elixir, Lauren, Chanel No.19, the musks by Coty, Jovan, etc. It's sad all these have been reformulated, some beyond recognition. Enjoyed your video and I wore most of the fragrances here but in their original formulas. Ahhh.

[@limelightlass5018]

Your name says it all! Love it! 😁

[@libbycampbell879]

My mom wore this all the time. During college, I worked at Subway and a woman came in wearing Halston. I commented immediately. Once you know Halston, you never forget it. I always found it to be a very aggressive fragrance.

[@VelveteenRabbit77]

Fragrances from the 80’s were power fragrances! Some hit pretty strong.

[@cindypruitt9534]

I was born in 72 and I think you do look great! I was obsessed with love's baby soft. My uncle would give all us kids 20 dollars for Christmas. Back then that was a lot. I would head straight to the Revco and buy village lip lickers and Love's. It smelled like heaven to me. I think I am going to buy a bottle for nostalgia purposes. Thanks for the video.

[@limelightlass5018]

Thank you!

Revco! I haven't heard that name in long time.

[@raraavis7772]

I was here for this video! 70s perfumes are my thing, even though I was born in 79- I just love so many of them. Also, yes, I would love to see a musk video. I love musk scents and tend to prefer the inexpensive ones. I feel like a lot of the more expensive ones “lose the plot” and bury the musk accord. *new subbie* 😊

[@limelightlass5018]

Thank you! I will definitely do an inexpensive musk video!

[@ladyflimflam]

Skin Musk and White Shoulders and Clinique’s Aeromatics Elixer are my diehard fragrances.

[@karenparrish9338]

Ok I just ordered everyone of these perfumes.im 51 so I do remember part of these perfumes.but I wanted to see if I could go down memory lane a little bit..oh and if like to see the budget buy musks.i love musk.

[@limelightlass5018]

That is awesome! Let me know what you think!

I seem to remember Sarah Jessica was gone on the Joven Musk. But I am happy to try all your musk suggestions as I can afford them. Thanks for the video.

Love this!! I was born in the 70’s as well but 79. So I don’t remember any of it, I wish I did!! Can’t wait to watch the 80’s vid after this cause that I do remember!! ❤️

[@limelightlass5018]

The 80's video was actually my favorite one to make! Love those strong scents!

I had lives baby soft back in the 90s lol I can’t remember where I got it from but it ended up in my mix of perfumes

[@yolandaponkers1581]

My momma was a fan of Opium back in the day! ❤

[@HeritageCarriage]

I started out with Loves Baby Soft and Sweet Honesty. My first love was Ciara. That was my first real favorite

[@rynwin1]

Try Cinnabar! An 80's scent I definitely remember

[@limelightlass5018]

That's a good one!

[@DeniseMarieplaylearnteach]

Loved this video! High school 1971 and college 1975, so I wore all of those you featured. Halston was by far my favorite. New sub!

[@limelightlass5018]

Thank you! 😁

[@roringusanda2837]

I love that Skin musk, the oil lasts forever, and it's cheaper than the spray. But I like to layer both. Skin musk was first made by Bonnie Bell, then they sold it to parfums de coeur, who makes it now. I don't know if it was reformulated. I hadn't heard that it was, only that it was sold to a different company.

[@mikamamma]

I subscribed because you're adorable and I just love your whole vibe. I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. Your descriptions were classic ("outside of church", "plastic doll head notes"😂)and I could totally relate😜Hope I enjoy the rest of your content you put out there. Best of luck to you! If you love musks and you do end up doing a musk vid you MUST include The Original Natural Musk Oil by West Cabot (now Cabot Labs, I believe) Talk about compliments! Never wore any other fragrance that got as many! Especially from men! The first time I smelled it was on an x-boyfriend and my knees LITERALLY went weak. I mean like literally LITERALLY! I felt like I was going to melt right into him! It's so inviting and just seems to warm so nicely into your skin. So good! I did used to love Skin too and received lots of compliments on that one as well but nothing like the West Cabot one. I have a bunch of other amazing 70s fragrances I wore that you didn't include in this vid. I'll list them in a separate comment and maybe you can make a part 2;)🤞

I believe that Love's Baby Soft was an attempt to compete with Avon's Sweet Honesty, which entered the perfume market a year earlier and was all the rage by 74. I smelled Sweet Honesty in the fall of 1973 on a classmate - I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!

[@limelightlass5018]

I used to be an Avon Lady, and I loved Sweet Honesty! Might have to revisit- thanks!

[@jamiejohnson5318]

Loves sugar kiss was great as well! I miss it soooo much

[@limelightlass5018]

[@roringusanda2837]

I just saw a video about a perfume maker who makes and sells perfume that doesn't bother complying with IFRA!! So there's hope...if they could recreate the original Jovan Musk, Coty Wild Musk oil, Loves Baby Soft, Rain, and Halston, they'd make millions!

[@limelightlass5018]

Agreed!

[@kathywhite9411]

Been buying Skin musk since 2004. My most recent one (I bought last year) smells the same Now while SOME perfumes lose their character after reformulation - I've not noticed a difference with the exception of a few.

[@erinpatricia4]

Hi the Charlie you have in the video is Charlie Blue. It came out the same year as Charlie. Blue has mostly oakmoss. It's harsher than the original Charlie.

[@cocoamourrr]

I love the 70’s even though I’m a 90’s baby I love Opium it’s a different kind of scent very retro but would it be suitable for someone who’s almost 30 ?

[@roringusanda2837]

It's fantastic! Subtle. A nice warm yellow musk. I googled Skin musk by parfums de coeur and it's available at a drugstore near me, as well as online. So happy! I wear Kiehls Original musk all the time, but back in the day it was skin Musk and Coty Wild Musk oil and Jovan Musk...

[@therenia22]

Love’s Rainforest does not smell like Rain, unfortunately, but there’s an Eau De Cologne called Lancry, and the blue one has an original Love’s Rain vibe. I had both relatively recently and compared them side by side, and thought they were close enough in scent. The original Love’s Baby Soft by Mem can still be found on a EBay, and is one that seems to hold up well through time. It was my first perfume :). What they sell now is definitely a little different, more powdery, and not as rich and nuanced. Love’s Lemon was my favorite and I loved that it was just plain lemon. Sometimes I mixed grain alcohol with a good lemon essential oil for the same vibe. Eyup Sabri Tuncer Cesme Lemon, a Turkish lemon cologne, also has a similar vibe (not the Classic one). I also loved Love’s Musky Jasmin, but that one is a unicorn, and goes for crazy prices when it does turn up :(. I was born at the end of 71, so I remember all of these, and I recall by the time I was old enough to wear perfume musk oils were over shadowed by a lot of the perfumes that were coming out and popular in the 80s. If I could time travel back to the 70s, I’d stock pile musk oils, shampoos (the 70s & 80s had incredible shampoo scents!), and lemon perfumes. Thanks for the video :).
