I think perfumes and or smells remind you of many things. Evening in Paris or Soir de Paris LOL reminds me of my mum and Aqua Manda reminds me of a camping trip to Bournemouth in the early 70's What are your memories attached to perfumes. Marie Kent

I always remember males friends etc in the 80's always wore aramis.lol. everyone smelt the same. catherine xx

old spice reminds me of an old boyfriend i used to buy it him, think i liked his smelly more than him lol Brut reminds me of my dad when i was a teenager and sandalwood reminds me of my lovely gran bless her xxLynnxx

Oh yes I remember it well LOL, that was one of the nicer ones. I did not like Brut. You should smell them all after games at the school where I work, they are worse than the girls, its overpowering sometimes but better than the alternaltive LOL Marie

4711 Eau de Cologne - my Gran. Tweed - me at about 17/18, can remember all my jumpers stinking of it! Lilacs - my headmistress gave me a huge bunch from the school garden when my Dad died.

That's nice Lynn. My husband used to wear old Spice he uses Boss now and I like CK1 for day time and Channel 5 when someone remembers to get me some. LOL Marie

Joop..ex...... Brut...my grandad....... samsara...my mum.(shes alive by the way...lol)

i had a bottle of youth dew last christmas, i used to wear it all the time in my younger days, still love it xxLynnxx

my mum always wore the same hand cream from boots - cant remember what its called but the smell on some one else just sends me back also my dad always wore armis - loved it until i had a boyfriend who wore it and then i came out in a rash lol

Nice headmistress Sheila, I wish mine hade been more human like that, she just seemed above us all. I think I went through a Tweed faze for as long a the bottle lasted and 47II I remember mum buying in Cologne when we were visiting her family in Germany, nice and fresh good when you have a headache. Marie

Youth Dew is my mother-in-Law and Poison ... the perfume not her LOL she is lovely. but they were too strong for me they 'followed you'. My twin could wear those strong perfumes but they did not smell good on me .. weird! It was'nt Ponds cream was it, my mum always had that on her dressing table and Nivea cream in a blue tin. Marie

My dad used brilliantine in his hair, i bort a jar a couple of weeks ago just so i could smell it when i wanted its lovely xxLynnxx

Gllad to hear your mum is still alive Mrs P, Sadly mine is'nt that's why I love all these memories Samsara sounds so exotic. Marie

Marie....poison makes me feel ill.............it's horridx Marie i wear it..it's lovelyxx(samsara)

Lynne so did my dad, when I was very young then he used to leave it nice and soft without. These days you must not touch their hair it is out of bounds. What ever happened to running your fingers through hair LOL now you get stuck in alsorts LOL. Marie

I'll have to get a sample and try Samsara, I agree with you Poisin is not very nice. I had a friend who used to wear Oscar de La Renta that was very heavy too. Anyone tried Volupte made by the above but much lighter, I really like it but hard to get hold of now . Marie

if u don't like oscar de la renta...u wont like samsara.........i wear both... my sig purfume is Amiragexx( have a wiff of that,its inbetween)

reminds me of the clip on funniest wedding videos where the vicar touched the groom on the head and must have got a sticky hand so wiped it on his robes lol xxLynnxx

i lost my lovely dad 2 years ago and i have his armchair, that he was confined too for the last 5 years of his life, he couldnt lie down so slept in it, i sit in it when im down or missing him badly and i can still smell him on it, its about passed its best but i wont ever throw it out, i find it a great comfort xxLynnxx

I'll try Amirage I think my daughter had that and Escape reminds me of her. I know how you feel about having something of your parents I have lost both of mine and with me its is usually cooking the sunday roast smells that reminds me of happy days when we all used to sit down to lunch when I was growing up, and mum loved baking, and dad loved bonfires late out in the garden with my bother and sister all dancing about until we had to go in.
