Scent Nostalgia - Perfumes From The 80s




When someone walks past, or stands next to me and smells of an 80's perfume I am familiar with, I feel like going back in time and feel nostalgic over something I can't quite put a name to. And I wonder if the familiar 80's perfume I miss is still sold somewhere and where I can buy it. It's been two decades, and a huge number of new scents introduced in the market every year that some of the 80's perfume scents are left on the back shelf or even on storage. Some, I think, may have been off the market for a long time or may be phased out.

Well, let me jog your memory and mine, here's a partial list of the perfumes from the 80s that I love! And the good news is that these 80s perfumes are still sold by reputable online stores.


 

ANAIS ANAIS CACHAREL 3.4 oz /100ml Women Eau de Toilette New  

Anais Anais Perfume by Cacharel is a scent my big sister- cousin love. She wore it during the office days. I think she got it as a present from a relative abroad, maybe Australia. Occasionally, I would try wearing Anais Anais perfume when I'm off-school and going out with friends. The scent reminds me of fresh cut flowers from Baguio City.


Primo! Spray Cologne  was one of my most favorite for all time. Thanks to a schoolmate-friend at St. Paul's College Manila who introduced the perfume to us young ladies. The fragrance reminds me of strong-scented flowers in mid-spring to summer.



Christian Dior Women's Poison Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.4 fl. oz.Poison Perfume by Christian Dior is a classic favorite by the college school girls and the office ladies. It was pricey, I remember costing as much as one thousand pesos a bottle but it was worth it. The scent is romantic with a hint of berries and spices.





Calvîn Kleîn Obsessiōn Perfúme For Women  Eau De Parfum Spray + a FREE Perfume Obsession Perfume by Calvin Klein is the kind I didn't have personally but only through friends and relatives who have it and share. I love the scent, it's kind of heavy with a mysterious touch.





Coco Chanel Perfume for Women Eau De Parfum Spray 
Chanel
Created Coco Perfume In 1984. It Is The Result Of The Following Top Fragrance Notes: Mandarin, Pimento And Coriander. The Middle Notes Are: Rose, Carnation And Cinnamon And The Base Of The Fragrance Is: Amber Vanilla And Honey. Coco Chanel Perfume Is Labeled As A Classic Fragrance.


 A particular perfume can also make us feel good and more confident about ourselves, making us feel positive and having the ability to attract friendship and love. Indeed, scents and fragrances often bring back old memories and the emotions associated with it. :) But for most of us, it is still the fragrance that matters on why we choose to wear a particular scent. In the end it is a matter of how we want to project ourselves.

Presenting "A Day In Life" my series of texts from my journals that I kept between the ages of 14 and 17. I'll be adding new entries every now and then to share all my thoughts, ideas,events, experiences, memories, ideas I had during the eighties. It is for my continued amusement that I read and reread my old journals, even when there isn't much content, I still gain occasional insight how I'm still in the process of changing to maturity. Most of the names have been changed to protect the people I recently found on Facebook. A few are just partial entries, my bleeping and blinding exclamations have been removed and some entries have been modified to give way to my now correct spelling and grammar. Yet the mix of excitement, melodrama and pleasant memories from the eighties are still much felt :)I hope, as you read my old journal with me, you enjoy the same sentiments.
