I remember a spray my first real love wore in high school. Maroon bottle with round gold lid. Might have been Lauren, but can't swear to the name.
I loved that smell so much I could almost get some wood when I happened upon it.... Of course, that odor being associated with losing ones virginity probably has something to do with the wood aspect.
They say odors can evoke strong memory - and I believe it. Anyone else remember a young love having a scent she wore all the time ?

I remember a gf that I had a bad breakup with. She wore a scent called white shoulders or something like that. Every time I smelled it on another woman, I wanted to puke.

You probably want more than that. OK, it was Chanel #5
Nah - I don't need the name. Just thought it was interesting that a 55 yr old dude is having thoughts about a perfume his girl friend wore in high school. funny. sad ? I don't know. but interesting.

When my wife and I were dating 35 years ago, she wore le Jardin. They discountinued it sometime later but I see that somebody is making it again. Reviews say that it smells the same but I'm somewhat afraid that it won't smell as good as I remember and I don't want to ruin the memories.
Dated a girl for several years after I moved to Houston in 1984. She wore Cinnabar by Estee Lauder. Good lord...I was like a flared-nostril horse in heat when she wore that stuff around me!! Too bad she turned out to be a bitch. Thank GOD she moved back to Minnesota before the breakup...

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
I buy my wife a few different ones I like-Wings,Liz Claiborne and Eternity. I don't care for most of the new ones but Victoria's Secret has some newer ones that smell really nice without being overbearing.

I remember my college sweetheart's perfume... which also had a maroon bottle with a gold cap: Poison. I still like the perfume but the Ex has long been jettisoned. Smelling Poison does harken me back to HS and my undergrad days though.
