That's not true. It's because many ingredients can cause skin irritation. Some high end brands still use real sandalwood. There is very good synthetic sandalwood too.
My grandmother always wore Tabu. I remember when I was around 10, and thought she smelled so nice. Now that I am almost 70, I wear it myself and think of my granny. It also had a neat bottle shaped like a violin. Memories.
I have been wearing Youth Dew since 1967 and just love it. I am now 75 years old. I still get just as many people compliment me on the perfume today as back then. Especially men!! About 10 years ago I was given Amarige And love it too.
@@galaxytea1239 So difficult to tell you as there is just nothing to compare it with. It is haunting. Just the other day a young man asked me what perfume I wore as he always knew when it was I who walked past his door & he loved it. I always buy the bath oil as it only needs 1 drop on your finger then on the base of your neck and lasts forever. I have empty bottles in all of my bedroom drawers & linen cupboard. You won’t be disappointed.
I like the way perfume and fragrance evokes memories - of people, places, special moments and different stages of your life. The comments here about grandmas and mums are particularly lovely.
Last week I smelled a parfume, I wore, when I was a teenager. Today, I would never ever wear it, because it is very citric and sweet at the same time, but I remember, how much I loved it back then 🙈
It's hard for me to remember what they used to smell like. I'm in my 60s. Growing up most women smoked. So there was always cigarettes smell mingled in. 😕I remembered Blue Waltz and Evening in Paris was every mother's gift.
Doleta Wood My grandma was a notoriously heavy smoker, but I do remember her perfume. I somehow got three bottles of them when she died. One of them is too distinctly 80s to wear, but it's good for occasionally sniffing 😂
Carolyn A I’ve often heard it said that scent (and smells in general) and music are two things that can instantly bring back memories to people, and I think there’s a lot of truth in that.
Was looking for Love's Fresh Lemon from the 70's couple of months ago at the Drugstore.....guess it disappeared 25 - 30 years ago?, as I have not seen it or Love's Baby Soft for numerous years. Mmm?
I used to buy the newer version at Sears, it came in a set with the lavender, powder and lemon spray mist perfume. My favorites for years! To my knowledge they still have a three piece spray set available, a few years ago I saw it at drugstores like Walgreens and such.
Channel No.5 was my grandmothers signature scent. She moved overseas so we would see her only about once a year but I always remember her smell. The saying of quality not quantity was certainly true for her. She made the most of spending time with her family in the few short weeks she was with us every year. I miss her desperately but I have a flood of memories wherever I smell channel no 5. R.I.P. Abuelita🙏🏻😢
@seattlegrrlie What's old is new. I find that what some things young girls (preteen to teen and even thru college age) are all about now are things I associated with old ladies. I can remember in college no one wanted anything to do with anything rose scented, even room fragrance because only old ladies used it. This is what the young girls like now. Another example was the Vera Bradley bags. When I was growing up, that brand was only used by old, elderly ladies too. So I was shocked when my preteen girls told me all their friends had it and it was the latest craze. They went through that for several years and it came to where you saw that brand expand everywhere. If someone had told me that would happen back in the 70s, I wouldn't have believed it.
Yes white shoulders reminds me of my sister who is now gone also Shalimar my eldest sister wore. Tweed my Grama wore. Yes what beautiful fragrences and should b mentioned
Thrifty Drugstore, now called Rite Aid, carried Evening in Paris Gift Set for $1 in the 70s.😮 So if it was discontinued in the 1960's , they must have been clearing them out.
My mom always wore L'air du Temps. Every time I smell it, I tear up. She died 30 years ago, and I have her jewelry box that still faintly smells of that perfume.
‘Charlie’ was my sisters favorite while I wore ‘Evening in Paris’. I collected perfume bottles as a youngster - I distinctly remember throwing them all away when I left for college. I sure wish I’d kept all my deep sapphire heart-shaped bottles of Evening in Paris!
My Maman loved Tatiana, but my Dad didn't like it and I definitely wasn't a fan!! My Maman loved Far Away by Avon, and Beautiful, by Estee Lauder!! Youth Dew was one of her favorites as well.
YSL's Opium; Dior's Poison: Patou's Joy; Lanvin Arpege & My Sin: Guerlain's L’heure Bleue & Shalimar & Mitsouko. Oh my so many perfumes so little time.
@@QuickWorksBeauty When I much too young to wear Opium it seemed the epitome of a scent for a mysterious femme fatale. Now that I'm old enough to wear it, (alas but no femme fatale!) it still evokes the mysterious and oh so sexy. I wore patchouli all through college in the 70s. Funny how a scent can bring vivid memories.
@@QuickWorksBeauty Did you ever come across Cinnabar perfume , it smelled of patchouli, sandlewood , amber ? I think it was from Estee Lauder. An aunt that passed away ,was gifted this perfume from her friend at Christmas. The scent was very woodsy , loved it .
I think they discontinued the 1 ounce oil but still sell the 2 ounce size. I wear it sparingly as parfum and use it in the bath. It's a great winter scent.
@@bethparker3205 thank you for letting me know, I absolutely love it ❤️ I have tried it on an Estee Lauder demonstration in Lisbon in 2002, but I was told it was no longer manufactured and it was just for us to learn about the evolution of the brand. Estee Lauder launched a different version of Youth Dew a few years later, maybe 2011 or somewhere around that time. It smelled nothing like the original I had previously tried. It was pleasant, but the original Youth Dew is on a completely different level, truly amazing. The oil smells different from the perfume, way better in my opinion, even if they have the same name. I'm going to try a few stores and see if I have any luck getting the oil. Thank you again.
My aunt who passed away, wore only these two , Estee Lauder Parfum and bath oil. When I was younger I'd tell her to try other Perfumes, but she always said no . She said Estee Lauder was her favorite signature scent . I also loved it , it reminds me of her .
I just found my vintage bottle! I actually have 2, the one with the faux tiger fur and this one. It's in a heavy gold bottle with a cut glass surround and a heavy gold topper with "Faberge " engraved on top. It stills smells fantastic. I think this one is from the sixties and the other from the early seventies. I remember Lola Falana use to be in the ads. Great stuff.
@@lancedukel3436 My step mother had the bottle with the fur, around the neck I believe it was. That's the one I used to sneak and use anyway. That was in the late 60s early 70s.
Carla Le Mieux I remember it! It had fake Tiger fur around the lid! I couldn't wear it, due to it giving me terrible migraines! But I thought, at the time, it was a really cool bottle!
My grandma Lily lived in Koln and used to send my mother and then me huge bottles of 4711, as well as the soap, so I grew up on it. I'm now in my 60's and it never fails to bring back lovely memories of my youth.
Love's Baby Soft was my first scent because it was aimed at teens; I had the scent AND the powder, which was a big deal to a teen girl. However, the first perfume I ever bought was Youth Dew. And yes, I had the powder too!😂I haven't worn it in ages; I may need to smell it again!
@@Laurajaneatelier I haven't worn it since I was a teen! It's another one I need to smell again!😆 My current fave is Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin, which is what I remember Youth Dew as smelling like.
When I was a boy in Australia back in the late fifties and early sixties, the first perfume was called (and advertised as) "Four-Seven-Eleven" and was quite popular for scenting handkerchiefs.
It was really popular in Ireland too. I remember my dad always bought it for my mam & she also had Evening in Paris. I was allowed wear the four seven eleven but warned off the Evening in Paris....mam only recently confessed that she hated the 4711 but my dad was always selectively deaf & badly organised so she had loads of it.
Oh! I was talking about that up above! Smelling it in the bottle it’s my FAVORITE!!! It doesn’t smell good on me anymore. But how excited was I when I had a vintage powder tin and it’s Quelques Fleurs!? Aaahhhhh… I don’t think I like the original Miss Dior…BUT! I like all those notes-I better go to Nordys and smell! The Miss Dior Cherie was the best!!! And I think YSL Black Opium smells similar.
Oh wow, this video just popped up in my suggested videos, so I HAD to watch it!Okay so when I was a kid we called "Youth Dew", *yuck ewww"....lol ... and yes Charlie ads were everywhere in the 70s, it was kind of the 'independent' woman wore Charlie. All of the ads were geared toward the 'expression of your own personal strength being recognized by the rest of the world if you wore this perfume'. It was inferred in the advertisements, that if you wore this perfume, somehow at a visceral level people would recognize that you had skills or strength. I remember begging my parents to give me a bottle of Charlie for Christmas and they got me the little sample size: I was over the moon! I am absolutely a vintage junky, so I'm just thrilled beyond thrilled to have found your channel! I am preparing to binge watch as much as I can find!
Blue Waltz holds so many memories for me! As a little girl, I always got one for Christmas from my Mom. My Mom passed in 2007 and when I'm missing her, I open up a bottle and I can feel her. Since then, my tastes in perfume have matured but Blue Waltz will always be my favorite! 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙
@@jillianwebb-sear8803 Hopefully this Christmas we can find it , with some stores bringing Emeraude, White Shoulders perfume sets out . Maybe we get lucky and find Cachet , let's keep our fingers crossed. 😘😙💞
Youth Dew will always be one of my favorite perfumes, ever. My grandmother loved that scent. My mother used to spray Charlie on me back in the 80's before I went to school. Walmart sells Charlie. Don't forget Tabu, and Rapture. Nice video!
Oh my gosh. I had all of those scents too. Plus Heaven Scent, Chantilly, Jontue, Chanel 5, Most Precious, Cachet (that was mom's--I sneaked it), Charlie, Love's Baby Soft, Enjoli, the list goes on. I've always been obsessed with perfume.
One vintage scent I bought recently is Rive Gauche. It came out in 1971, I think. Reformulated now, but still wonderful. Very condensed floral with a sharp, aldehydic top note and a long-lasting, powdery, floral dry-down. Delicious and intoxicating. Very modern in its time. Classic.
I do miss Chanel °19 and °21. My absolute faves from the 80's. The °21 was soft and powdery. I'd pay anything to buy each of them. Why don't they bring back these back for us nostalgic souls.
Gloria Stroedecke Honey, I have one spray flacon left. I don’t remember at which airport I have purchesed it.But it still remains at airport dutyfrees. Try it...😄
@@LaurajaneatelierSo glad you mentioned Arpege by Lanvin as it was my mother's perfume and I absolutely love it and would say it is my favorite, too. Look forward to your review on it. I remember a time when everyone was wearing Youth Dew and I thought it was so overwhelming. Never been a fan of it.
I worked for Estee Lauder for several years, in the early 2000's some of the " Lauder Girls " took bottles of Youth Dew out on the side walks in front of Macys in New York, spraying it in the air & passing out perfume cards, men would walk from several blocks to ask what the scent was because they loved it sooo much. My husband loved it too!!
Love these scents! I was definitely born in the wrong decade as far as perfume goes. I also own Florida Water, Youth Dew, Chanel No 5, and several vintage Guerlain scents. Tonight I'm winding down for the night wearing Mitsouko. Love your channel and these beautiful perfumes! PS: try spraying a bit of Youth Dew in your bath water! You'll perfume your bath beautifully and not be overwhelmed by it! 🥰
Mitsouko is one of my absolute favourites. Love it even more than Shalimar. Guerlaine makes the best perfume. Dior'La dolche vita is good as well as Boucheron's Jaipur and Kashimir by Chopard.
@Ginny Murray i'm still on the lookout. i want the perfume though. i remember making that little blue bottle last for years! Ginny i only look for the vintage stuff nowadays, everything has been reformulated, even my beloved l'air du temps....if you want to read a seriously great blog about perfume, with recommendations on what to buy if your juice is reformulated, check out Bois de Jasmin. very good advice there. the woman who runs it and the community, are the most knowledgeable on the subject i've ever seen. once a month there's a feature where you can ask what you can replace your retired or reformulated fragrance with. good luck!
@Ginny Murray no worries. i hope we both find our little blue bottles. but not at the same garage sale, because i think there would be some pigtail pulling.
I remember Charlie when it came out and I used to wear it. It was called Charlie only. Charlie Blue and Charlie White came out later, but the original was just called Charlie.
Still love Red Door, Knowing, and one of my favorites; Catalyst by Halston. My mom wore it. Love it! Charles of the Ritz was a favorite along with Borghese borghese, Aliage and White Linen as well. My mom wore Merle Norman body lotion back in the 70’s. It smelled soooo beautiful. I lost my mom and dad 2017 a month apart and I’m wearing the Catalyst.
Adele Jay: Yes, Muguet! What a blast from the past when I saw your comment... :) Makes me smile, that was one of my first scents (I was 16)... I'm 63 now lol !
I started wearing it back in 1984 when a man I was dating commented on it. I wore it till I met the man I ultimate married in 1999. To this day, though, Aliage by Estee Lauder is still my all-time favorite. People used to stop me in stores and on the city sidewalks to ask what perfume I was wearing.
There was the flower Lilybof the Valley in whatever my grandmother wore everyday. I took some flowers from the backyard the first year she was dead and both my motherland I almost fainted when see out them in the grave. We didnt realize we,planted it because it reminded us,of her. But that wonderful perfume was a true perfume and not a clone of the flower.
@@mamadillo9994 that's an iconic Lauder scent! They still make it. It's a shadow of its former self. The vintage is stunning and you can still luck out and get a bottle in good condition.
I loved watching this! I'm in my sixty's and through my life my favorites were... Unforgettable by Avon. Wish they still sold it! Loved the scent and the bottle! Evening in Paris and my absolute favorite Channel No.5.
I’m so envious of your perfume collection! I’ve been a perfume addict since I was a teen in the 70s. I work in a facility with special needs people and the employees are allowed to wear any kind of scent, so there aren’t too many opportunities for me to wear perfume; any bottle I have nowadays lasts me forever. When I was in HS I discovered White Shoulders, still a favorite of mine. My mom was friends with the Avon lady and bought a lot of perfumes, Avon had some pretty good stuff. An older woman GAVE me a bottle of Joy perfume, couldn’t believe it. The Old Vermont Country Store seems Evening In Paris and Blue Waltz, along with other interesting perfumes. Other scents I loved over the years are Maysumi, Jontue, Chloe (it’s out there again but not the same), Wind Song, Love’s Baby Soft (found some in Walgreens a while ago), Charley, Fame (not to be confused with Lady Gaga’s perfume), Ciara, Jovan Musk, Chanel. I never cared for the heavier scents such as Tabu, Shalimar or Emeraude. I’m a big fan of Liz Taylor perfumes. I just wish I could wear my perfume to work, I’d do it every day.
I’m obsessed with perfume/beauty products and I like to collect them... not vintage products specifically, but I’m so happy I found your channel because I love all things vintage and beauty. What could be better than a channel that puts the two together!? ❤️
I’m having such a nice feeling watching this video, I already knew more than half of this perfumes because of my mom! She rather still have some of them or has wear them before, as well as my aunties and grandma ☺️ this is just a lovely channel, lots of love from argentina ♥️
@@Laurajaneatelier In the movie, Scarlett is in mourning for her second husband and is drinking heavily to deal with her guilt. Rhett butler shows up at her house and she picks up the bottle of cologne and gargles it, and then dabs some on herself *the movie company replaced the main label so they wouldn't get in trouble with the cologne company but the bottle shape and the Florida water bottle neck band are still there to give it away* here's a link to the scene. th-cam.com/video/KHbgttQdXv8/w-d-xo.html
My God, I remembered Gone With Wind as soon as I saw this video. When Scarlett is trying to hide the alcohol breath from Rhett!! Such a funny scene!!! Thanks for the info!
Omg!! Maja by Myrugia one of my favorites also . Bal A Versailles, they say was worn by the late Jacqueline Kennedy . I love the bottle , very vintage. Wish I could smell this perfume.
@@samalama9692 They sell it on Fragrance X.com at a really inexpensive price. Type in FX15 in offer code at checkout for 15 percent off. Fragrance X is my favorite site for perfume.
We're talking about vintage perfume and Guerlain isnt even mentioned??? Where's Mitsouko, l'Heure Bleue, Samsara, Shalimar and all the great stuff of one of the oldedt perfume houses in the world!! Stunning bedroom tho
@@patriciaoakes8689 Thanks Patricia:) I did know that, I was just replying to the comment about what Akiy mentioned. It's a shame Inoui isn't anymore though :)
Does anyone remember “Oh! De London” ? Wore it when I was a teenager in the late 60’s when everything English was trendy. It was ? made by Yardley. I can’t bear all the EsteeLauder scents, too heavy. I still wear Chanel No 5. Dior also made “Diorissimo”. Haven’t seen it in 20+years, it was very light.
I've been trying to find a fragrance from yardley and I don't know the name and that might be it. It was a 'freak incident', I put it on and let's just say I had a magical day..went back to buy it and it was gone and didn't remember the name....(dont ever leave something without at least getting the name) the perfume was in a bin in an outlet type store...that's why I could never find it when I went back. Then about a week later I ran into some random lady who had on the same scent!! I thought, this is great! I'm gonna ask her what she's wearing..she could not tell me much because for her it was just a random find she picked up and it only had the yardley name or not much to go on for a label. She probably bought the one I was looking at. She loved the scent too!! I was so bummed. I can only hope I someday find that scent again. It's odd something as little as a fragrance, can have that much hold over you... Its probably discontinued now. Or they changed the formulary. I will never forget that story...
Maja by Myrurgia the original made in Spain. Popular in Latin America. Our grandmas and aunts perfume. And the soap giftset. The perfect Christmas gift. Absolutely love it.
My favorites are Guerlain Mitsouko (1919), Avon Topaz (1953), Nina Ricci L’Air du temps (1948), Windsong (1953), Coty L’Origan (1905), Norell (1968), Estée Lauder Estee (1968), Balmain Ivoire (1979), YSL “Y” (1964), Paco Rabanne Calandre (1969). As you can see, I LOVE vintage fragrances. Really enjoy your channel👏🏼
I remember Mom buying Charlie for the next door neighbor lady. I can recall loving White Shoulders in high school. Blue Jean was popular. Baby Soft. Jovan Musk. Jean Nate.
My absolute all time favorite is “Interlude” by Frances Denney. I only wire it in the cold months because as you described, it was very heavy. And one spritz was plenty. I discovered it in the ‘70’s and still wear it off & on to this day.
I used to use Charlie in the 1970’s! Loved it at that time but went back to my Chanel No. 5 and a couple of Estée Lauder fragrances. I especially love “Private Collection” which is Estée Lauder vintage and was initially a fragrance she invented for herself. Loved this video!❤️
@@ellenlawrenson8046 I love that scent! I have a vintage 3 piece set with powder, perfume sachet and spray perfume. The bottles are so pretty and the scent is too. Avon truly made some beautiful fragrances.
Channel No. 5 is my favorite perfume. When I was a kid it smelled like what we called old lady perfume, heavy & strong. They upgraded the scent & it's now very soft & light. I literally have been stopped by strangers (both men & women) who have commented on how good I smell & ask if they could lean in closer to "smell" me.🤣 There used to be a perfume in the late 70's made by Coty called Sophia (after Sophia Loren) that the newer Channel No.5 smells like. I've worn perfume since before I was a teenager so I've tried all the perfumes you mentioned, including all the Avon ones. In the late 60's, very early 70's Love's Baby Soft was popular with young girls, Yardley made several popular scents. Jean Nate was also worn by some of my friends. I wore Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps often during that time. Charlie was definately popular in the 70's, then musk became popular & perfumes like Oleg Cassini's Musk was worn alot. Still have that bottle, & it actually has not become rancid despite the age! (I don't wear it, just still have it....) This was a very interesting video on vintage perfumes, please do more!
I was given Charlie as a teen. And started wearing it. I liked it, but unfortunately my darling cat HATED it, so no more Charlie. No perfume at all, because she ruled with an iron paw.
@@thevandeheys6533 And Vol de Nuit and Eau Impériale. Btw, did you know that "Jicky" was the family name for "Jacques" Guerlain as a child and the perfume was named after him. (I was fortunate enough to work in Guerlain when it was still a family company).
@@thevandeheys6533 There was also a very old Guerlain perfume called "Après l'Ondée" (After the Downpour), beautifully light and recreating that wonderful light freshness that one feels in the air after a heavy rain shower. It came in a lovely Victorian/Edwardian bottle.
I remember Charlie. It was very popular. One of my favorites from my childhood (I’m 62) was emeraude, I believe made by Cory. Two others were Heaven Scent and Tabu.
That’s actually the background music they played in the finer department stores when I was a little girl shopping with my mom. Also my mom wore Youth Dew among many others. Love the video it brings back memories of long lost senses so to speak....💕😊
4711 is my Grandma's favorite perfume, the acent brings me home... basically it is what I smell eveytime I hug her. She has been using the same perfume since she was a young woman ❤
Sylvia Drummond What a coincidence, I too got April Violets a couple years ago from Amazon, when first spray it on I got a very fainted smell of the perfume, half a minute later smelled so awful that I had to take a shower.
Floridawater is also used by allot of people on their body or in bath to bade against negative energy! You can also cleane you're house with it to remove negative energy
Evening in Paris was always in the Sears Christmas catalogue. I thought it was very elegant. I was 12 . Mom used to have Maja soap by the bathtub. My brother loved it.
I was given an Evening in Paris gift set for Christmas when I was around 13. I wore Charlie throughout most of high school and college. I must admit that I loved it then, and it's still so nostalgic for me now! Thanks for this video!
Oh my I had forgotten about Charlie! If you're a 90's teen you will probably remember the Cindy Crawford commercial. I had totally forgotten about the commercial too. I so love your channel! Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
Ooh I got it for my 13th birthday in 1973...always loved Charlie. That was it's original release. I think Shelley Hack was the ad model...it was meant to be less feminine and more liberated free woman lol
I collect and wear vintage perfumes. This was so fun! There are many you can get today but most, sadly, have been reformulated to death. That Miss Dior you have smells nothing like the original, which was my Moms fragrance when I was growing up. Many vintage perfumes are chypre scents that are not popular with the masses today and no longer made , but those are my favorites. Modern chypres are not made with the same ingredients due to regulations. Charlie was one of my first fragrances in High School, and boy would I like to smell the original again. It was just "Charlie!", not blue, and is a green floral chypre. Thank you for sharing your collection! Julia
Somewhat late! But I had to give a thumbs up to a fellow chypre fan .I used to love them. I remember Colette's books about Claudine and she always wore chypre perfumes! As I type this the word Chypre keeps getting underlined - tells me everything about how out of date they have become.
Youth Dew was my grandmas favorite and Charlie was my Aunts . It brought back memories especially the blue bottle which I remember her having. I liked the way it felt kinda rubbery.
One reason perfumes were reformulated is that sandalwood trees are endangered. They haven't figured out how to make a good synthetic sandalwood yet.
Didn't know that, thanks
That sucks, I love sandalwood.
Are you serious? I absolutely adore sandalwood, I'm really really disappointed 😢
Time to stock up on vintage bottles and oils.
That's not true. It's because many ingredients can cause skin irritation. Some high end brands still use real sandalwood. There is very good synthetic sandalwood too.
kathy 2trips well wtf. I have sandalwood incense I bought a year ago. Someone’s breaking the law lol
My grandmother always wore Tabu. I remember when I was around 10, and thought she smelled so nice. Now that I am almost 70, I wear it myself and think of my granny. It also had a neat bottle shaped like a violin. Memories.
I love tabu ,,
Lois OLeary this made me smile greatly :) my grandmother didn’t wear perfume but i have all her costume jewelry, always think of her that way
Lois OLeary my grandmother always used to dab on me ...Gloire De Paris.....I’m now in my 70s....I can still imagine the scent....
I have been wearing Youth Dew since 1967 and just love it. I am now 75 years old. I still get just as many people compliment me on the perfume today as back then. Especially men!! About 10 years ago I was given Amarige And love it too.
Agree 👍

I miss her desperately but I have a flood of memories wherever I smell channel no 5. R.I.P. Abuelita🙏🏻😢
Chantilly is another vintage, I believe it dates to 1940s. It was my moms favorite.
Chantilly... when I was young, all the old ladies wore it. I do like the scent, but I can't wear it because I associate it with grandma
My mom wore that too! I always buy it when I can find it!!
I fell in love with Chantilly when I was 16 years old ( gosh that was in 1982)....and now - thanks for your reminder- I`m going to buy me some:))

What's old is new. I find that what some things young girls (preteen to teen and even thru college age) are all about now are things I associated with old ladies. I can remember in college no one wanted anything to do with anything rose scented, even room fragrance because only old ladies used it. This is what the young girls like now.

JOY perfume was huge in the 40s. Hollywood beauties wore JOY. It was considered very expensive back in the day. I was surprised you didn't include it.
Ah dang I saw that one and wanted to buy it for the video but it was getting too $$
Now I’m sad I didn’t include it 😹 I think I’m going to make a part two for this since there are so many lovely scents to try
I owned a bottle when I was a young woman. It is amazing. I'm no longer silly enough to think I can afford it, lol.
You can get it for thirty some dollars on fragrancenet
Yaelra R. I have Joy by Jean Patou...it’s seems to be different sadly or maybe it’s just me that’s changed.
You totally missed the best vintage perfume that is still available: White Shoulders (1943)
YES I AGREE!!
It is my go to winter fragrance only!!
@@shysmith167 One Grandma always wore it. The other always wore Maja, which is another vintage fragrance (1921) still available.

Yes white shoulders reminds me of my sister who is now gone also Shalimar my eldest sister wore. Tweed my Grama wore. Yes what beautiful fragrences and should b mentioned
My very first perfume as a preteen in the 70's was Love's Baby Soft...terribly sweet and powdery...would love to smell that again lol
A lot of drugstores still sell it at Christmas, and I've seen it at Walmart and Target, too. It still smells the same!
Thrifty Drugstore, now called Rite Aid, carried Evening in Paris Gift Set for $1 in the 70s.😮 So if it was discontinued in the 1960's , they must have been clearing them out.
I see it all the time at Rite Aid.
It definitely brings back the memories.
My mom always wore L'air du Temps. Every time I smell it, I tear up. She died 30 years ago, and I have her jewelry box that still faintly smells of that perfume.
My mom wears it too! It’s so lovely
Amy Hazucha That is a beautiful story.❤
I love bergamot violets and lilies my next favorite is Opium by YSL
L'Air du Temps was a fave of my mom too.
Amy Hazucha I love it, a friend’s dad worked in a duty free airport store and she gave me samples. I miss perfumes of that era.
Emeraude belongs on this list for sure!
I love Emeraude. Haven’t seen it in years.
@@wendycrawford1792 CVS carries it. eBay has good deals on the vintage version.
‘Charlie’ was my sisters favorite while I wore ‘Evening in Paris’. I collected perfume bottles as a youngster - I distinctly remember throwing them all away when I left for college. I sure wish I’d kept all my deep sapphire heart-shaped bottles of Evening in Paris!
I’m 64 and I still wear Nina Ricci since I was introduced to it when I was 14.
I used to buy my mom that perfume she loved it
The hottest perfume that came out in the late 70s or early 80's was TATIANA, by Gloria Vanderbilt! I used to love that scent!
My Maman loved Tatiana, but my Dad didn't like it and I definitely wasn't a fan!!
My Maman loved Far Away by Avon, and Beautiful, by Estee Lauder!!
Youth Dew was one of her favorites as well.
Tatiana was by Diane bon furstenburg
I loved Tatiana! I was so sad when they stopped making it.
YSL's Opium; Dior's Poison: Patou's Joy; Lanvin Arpege & My Sin: Guerlain's L’heure Bleue & Shalimar & Mitsouko. Oh my so many perfumes so little time.
Cherise Southerly Opium was one of my favorites! I like the heavy scents ...with amber, patchouli, vanilla, neroli, etc.
@@QuickWorksBeauty When I much too young to wear Opium it seemed the epitome of a scent for a mysterious femme fatale. Now that I'm old enough to wear it, (alas but no femme fatale!) it still evokes the mysterious and oh so sexy. I wore patchouli all through college in the 70s. Funny how a scent can bring vivid memories.
@@QuickWorksBeauty Did you ever come across Cinnabar perfume , it smelled of patchouli, sandlewood , amber ? I think it was from Estee Lauder. An aunt that passed away ,was gifted this perfume from her friend at Christmas. The scent was very woodsy , loved it .
Sama Lama Yes! I’m sure I did Cinnabar! Estée Lauder introduced some wonderful perfumes!
@@QuickWorksBeauty They sure did .😊
Estee Lauder Youth Dew Parfum and Bath Oil! I wore it today! My Mother wore it!
Oh nice that’s amazing it seems to be a popular one the packaging is beautiful
Do they still make the oil? I thought they had stopped doing it a long time ago. The Youth Dew oil smells amazing indeed.
I think they discontinued the 1 ounce oil but still sell the 2 ounce size. I wear it sparingly as parfum and use it in the bath. It's a great winter scent.
@@bethparker3205 thank you for letting me know, I absolutely love it ❤️ I have tried it on an Estee Lauder demonstration in Lisbon in 2002, but I was told it was no longer manufactured and it was just for us to learn about the evolution of the brand. Estee Lauder launched a different version of Youth Dew a few years later, maybe 2011 or somewhere around that time. It smelled nothing like the original I had previously tried. It was pleasant, but the original Youth Dew is on a completely different level, truly amazing. The oil smells different from the perfume, way better in my opinion, even if they have the same name. I'm going to try a few stores and see if I have any luck getting the oil. Thank you again.
My aunt who passed away, wore only these two , Estee Lauder Parfum and bath oil. When I was younger I'd tell her to try other Perfumes, but she always said no . She said Estee Lauder was her favorite signature scent . I also loved it , it reminds me of her .
Who remembers Tigress?
I just found my vintage bottle! I actually have 2, the one with the faux tiger fur and this one. It's in a heavy gold bottle with a cut glass surround and a heavy gold topper with "Faberge " engraved on top. It stills smells fantastic. I think this one is from the sixties and the other from the early seventies. I remember Lola Falana use to be in the ads. Great stuff.
@@lancedukel3436 My step mother had the bottle with the fur, around the neck I believe it was. That's the one I used to sneak and use anyway. That was in the late 60s early 70s.
I used to mix it with Jovan Musk oil and always received compliments.
Carla Le Mieux I remember it! It had fake Tiger fur around the lid! I couldn't wear it, due to it giving me terrible migraines! But I thought, at the time, it was a really cool bottle!
I LOVED Tigress and that bottle with the tiger fur cap! So so classic and hip.
My grandmother loved Youth Dew. It could be strong so a little goes a long ways. Brings back fond memories. Maybe I'll buy a bottle to reminisce.
My grandma Lily lived in Koln and used to send my mother and then me huge bottles of 4711, as well as the soap, so I grew up on it. I'm now in my 60's and it never fails to bring back lovely memories of my youth.
Love's Baby Soft was my first scent because it was aimed at teens; I had the scent AND the powder, which was a big deal to a teen girl. However, the first perfume I ever bought was Youth Dew. And yes, I had the powder too!😂I haven't worn it in ages; I may need to smell it again!
I have seen that Baby soft one around, is it good? now I want to try it haha
@@Laurajaneatelier I haven't worn it since I was a teen! It's another one I need to smell again!😆 My current fave is Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin, which is what I remember Youth Dew as smelling like.
I love Joe Malone! I can guarantee it smells better than youth dew lol
@@kenyabrunson4985
@@Laurajaneatelier lol you are funny😁
another lovely scent "Love's Baby Soft: My husband still buys it for me,
I’m adding in my love for white shoulders. It was my first teen fragrance and I still love it
J Lit same! White shoulders is my go to, along with White Diamonds.
I got called a racist wearing that.
I love it too.
my mum wore that alot growing up!!
When I was a boy in Australia back in the late fifties and early sixties, the first perfume was called (and advertised as) "Four-Seven-Eleven" and was quite popular for scenting handkerchiefs.
It was really popular in Ireland too. I remember my dad always bought it for my mam & she also had Evening in Paris. I was allowed wear the four seven eleven but warned off the Evening in Paris....mam only recently confessed that she hated the 4711 but my dad was always selectively deaf & badly organised so she had loads of it.
Yes you don't say 47-11 its 4 - 7 - 11. Tassie Joy
Here in Germany we call it 47 - 11...
John Harber yes I can even remember the tune from the add
47_11 in the Netherlands as well. But more importantly the Germans say 47-11. And they make it!!
You missed one of the most beautiful perfumes out there: Quelque Fleurs by Houbigant. This is from the late 1700s and was worn by Marie Antoinette.
Hubby bought me my first bottle in 2007, and it lasts a long time. That one is his favorite for me to wear.
I LOVED this scent!
Oh! I was talking about that up above! Smelling it in the bottle it’s my FAVORITE!!! It doesn’t smell good on me anymore. But how excited was I when I had a vintage powder tin and it’s Quelques Fleurs!? Aaahhhhh…
I don’t think I like the original Miss Dior…BUT! I like all those notes-I better go to Nordys and smell! The Miss Dior Cherie was the best!!! And I think YSL Black Opium smells similar.
Oh yah!
I remember Houbigant perfumes but I didn't know about the connection with Marie-Antoinette.
No No No ! The first fragrance of REVLON is "Charlie", then few years later was "Babe" from FABERGÉ, "Charlie Blue" was longtime after !
Norrell wasn't the first?
@@thekidsmomshortie Norrell smelled really good!
i remember other REVLON fragrance called Jontue, who was popular in the 70s-80s. Mom had that one, and i loved it when i was little.
Remember Jontu? I worked for Revlon, the company store was my hang out, LOL
@@thekidsmomshortie yes Norrell was the first.
Such a pretty backdrop I feel like I should be dressed up & sipping champagne watching this. So glam💄
Yes, your backdrop is very pretty.
Go for it!!
I think Tweed has been around for a while.Also Yardley's English Lavender.
Loved Tweed! Where can you find it now?
My granny wore that. She was born 1902, one of the original flappers. Last time I saw it was in Boots in GB.
@@peggymcardle3706 Vermont Country Store (online)
Yardley’s English Lavender is one of my favorites, definitely going to see if I can get a bottle of Tweed!
Annais Annais by Cacharel
Memories...
also amor amor!
Caroline P , just bought 2 bottles of Amor Amor.
Love, love, love. Began wearing it in 1979-80 and then, my daughter pinched it. Fell in love with it and it became hers. Classic.
I love that perfume. Still have a tiny bottle on my dresser.
Oh wow, this video just popped up in my suggested videos, so I HAD to watch it!Okay so when I was a kid we called "Youth Dew", *yuck ewww"....lol ... and yes Charlie ads were everywhere in the 70s, it was kind of the 'independent' woman wore Charlie. All of the ads were geared toward the 'expression of your own personal strength being recognized by the rest of the world if you wore this perfume'. It was inferred in the advertisements, that if you wore this perfume, somehow at a visceral level people would recognize that you had skills or strength. I remember begging my parents to give me a bottle of Charlie for Christmas and they got me the little sample size: I was over the moon!
I am absolutely a vintage junky, so I'm just thrilled beyond thrilled to have found your channel! I am preparing to binge watch as much as I can find!
“Fidji” by Guy Laroche was another popular perfume. Great to wear in the summer.
i love that fragrance. it reminds me of l'air du temps, before reformulation.
Yeah I couldn't agree more this was my favourite when I was about eighteen, lovely scent.
Agree. Stunning in vintage parfum extrait.
Great summer scent! Thanks for the memory.
I’ve worn L’Air du Temp my whole life, it was my favorite even as a child and at age 57, still get compliments
Good choice. ❤
Blue Waltz holds so many memories for me! As a little girl, I always got one for Christmas from my Mom. My Mom passed in 2007 and when I'm missing her, I open up a bottle and I can feel her. Since then, my tastes in perfume have matured but Blue Waltz will always be my favorite! 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙
Cachet was a 70s perfume, the tv ad said a thousand girls can wear cachet and it would smell different on each of them.
Catchet my most beloved , wore this one in my twenties and loved it so much. Still searching for this fragrance.😙😘😊💞

You can still get Cachet. It's still being produced but really is a shadow of its former self. Ebay has many bottles some reasonably priced.
@@lancedukel3436 Thanks so much.😊
Youth Dew will always be one of my favorite perfumes, ever. My grandmother loved that scent. My mother used to spray Charlie on me back in the 80's before I went to school. Walmart sells Charlie. Don't forget Tabu, and Rapture. Nice video!
My first perfume was Miss Dior when I was in high school. I loved t! I also love Tatiana, Shalimar and Ciara. Those were the days 😁
Ciara is a good scent, too. That scent stays on the skin until washed off. Unfortunately, some of the newer fragrances just don't last after an hour.
Loved Tatiana!
Oh my gosh. I had all of those scents too. Plus Heaven Scent, Chantilly, Jontue, Chanel 5, Most Precious, Cachet (that was mom's--I sneaked it), Charlie, Love's Baby Soft, Enjoli, the list goes on. I've always been obsessed with perfume.
I love Ciara, especially vintage
No perfume smells the same anymore.
One vintage scent I bought recently is Rive Gauche. It came out in 1971, I think. Reformulated now, but still wonderful. Very condensed floral with a sharp, aldehydic top note and a long-lasting, powdery, floral dry-down. Delicious and intoxicating. Very modern in its time. Classic.
I love Rive Gauche...
My Saturday shopping scent very unusual
Yes Loved Rive Gauche. Disco days.
I still wear Rive Gauche and Coco. I miss Chanel No 19 and Eau de Patou
I do miss Chanel °19 and °21. My absolute faves from the 80's. The °21 was soft and powdery. I'd pay anything to buy each of them. Why don't they bring back these back for us nostalgic souls.
Rive Gauche... I didnt realize it was still made. Yves St Laurent wasnt it?
Carla Le Mieux Yesssss. I still love it.
Dara Colakoglu Where do you find your Rive Gauche? I love it! I also did not know they still made it.
Gloria Stroedecke Honey, I have one spray flacon left. I don’t remember at which airport I have purchesed it.But it still remains at airport dutyfrees. Try it...😄
Heaven Scent from the 70's. My mom loved Tabu, I still have a small bottle of hers... a little went a long...long...way :)
Jenny Ambush was one of my favs.
I wore Heaven Sent in high school. And Emeraude. 🥰🥰🥰
Wind Song and Cachet were my Mom's go to.My god mother wore Chantilly
Wind Song was my mom’s too
I still wear Windsong, in Winter. 💘.Again, AFFORDABLE!
THX to Prince Matchabelli!😙
My Mom wore Chantilly. I always bought her a gift set for her birthday. What a nice memory.
Chantilly body powder was beautiful!
Chantilly is my favorite perfume of all time. I know it came out in the forties and I'm 22 but its fabulous. I adore Wind Song also.
Surprised to not see Lanvin Arpege in this
I have future videos planned that will include it
@@LaurajaneatelierSo glad you mentioned Arpege by Lanvin as it was my mother's perfume and I absolutely love it and would say it is my favorite, too. Look forward to your review on it. I remember a time when everyone was wearing Youth Dew and I thought it was so overwhelming. Never been a fan of it.
I was surprised that Guerlain’s Shalimar and Lanvin’s Arpege were missing. I have all but Blue Waltz and Charlie in my regular rotation of favorites.
The NeedTo-ImpeachNow I still love the smell of Youth Dew. It was the first non drugstore scent I ever purchased
My Mom wore Arpege and Youth Dew..so pretty ❤
I worked for Estee Lauder for several years, in the early 2000's some of the " Lauder Girls " took bottles of Youth Dew out on the side walks in front of Macys in New York, spraying it in the air & passing out perfume cards, men would walk from several blocks to ask what the scent was because they loved it sooo much. My husband loved it too!!
Men love Youth Dew.
i love youth dew just heavenly
Yes! Men love Youth Dew.
I put it in with baby oil to make it last longer
@@leahmaples6921 great tip!!!!
Love these scents! I was definitely born in the wrong decade as far as perfume goes. I also own Florida Water, Youth Dew, Chanel No 5, and several vintage Guerlain scents. Tonight I'm winding down for the night wearing Mitsouko. Love your channel and these beautiful perfumes! PS: try spraying a bit of Youth Dew in your bath water! You'll perfume your bath beautifully and not be overwhelmed by it! 🥰
Thanks for the tip I will try that
Mitsouko is one of my absolute favourites. Love it even more than Shalimar. Guerlaine makes the best perfume. Dior'La dolche vita is good as well as Boucheron's Jaipur and Kashimir by Chopard.
My mom wore Je Reviens by the House of Worth on special occasions.
that is one of my all time favorites. the reformulation makes me sneeze though. i need to find some vintage stuff
@Ginny Murray i'm still on the lookout. i want the perfume though. i remember making that little blue bottle last for years! Ginny i only look for the vintage stuff nowadays, everything has been reformulated, even my beloved l'air du temps....if you want to read a seriously great blog about perfume, with recommendations on what to buy if your juice is reformulated, check out Bois de Jasmin. very good advice there. the woman who runs it and the community, are the most knowledgeable on the subject i've ever seen. once a month there's a feature where you can ask what you can replace your retired or reformulated fragrance with. good luck!
@Ginny Murray so sorry, i wasn't clear. she [victoria] has a blog. i don't think she's here.
@Ginny Murray no worries. i hope we both find our little blue bottles. but not at the same garage sale, because i think there would be some pigtail pulling.
One of the best
I remember Charlie when it came out and I used to wear it. It was called Charlie only. Charlie Blue and Charlie White came out later, but the original was just called Charlie.
Still love Red Door, Knowing, and one of my favorites; Catalyst by Halston. My mom wore it. Love it! Charles of the Ritz was a favorite along with Borghese borghese, Aliage and White Linen as well. My mom wore Merle Norman body lotion back in the 70’s. It smelled soooo beautiful. I lost my mom and dad 2017 a month apart and I’m wearing the Catalyst.
My grandmother used Emeraude. You can still buy it.
I remember Emeraude! The older ladies wore it when I was a kid in the 60's!
I LOVE Estee Lauder Youth Dew!!! ❤
Cloying😗🤔🤔
@Ginny Murray yes! My mom tried to wear it, but it did NOT agree with her body's chemistry. It smelled like cat urine on her! 😕 LOL!
Muget!! Love that perfume...Lilly of the valley.
Adele Jay: Yes, Muguet! What a blast from the past when I saw your comment... :) Makes me smile, that was one of my first scents (I was 16)... I'm 63 now lol !
I started wearing it back in 1984 when a man I was dating commented on it. I wore it till I met the man I ultimate married in 1999. To this day, though, Aliage by Estee Lauder is still my all-time favorite. People used to stop me in stores and on the city sidewalks to ask what perfume I was wearing.
I can still smell it ....ah..🥰
There was the flower Lilybof the Valley in whatever my grandmother wore everyday. I took some flowers from the backyard the first year she was dead and both my motherland I almost fainted when see out them in the grave. We didnt realize we,planted it because it reminded us,of her. But that wonderful perfume was a true perfume and not a clone of the flower.
@@mamadillo9994 that's an iconic Lauder scent! They still make it. It's a shadow of its former self. The vintage is stunning and you can still luck out and get a bottle in good condition.
I loved watching this! I'm in my sixty's and through my life my favorites were... Unforgettable by Avon. Wish they still sold it! Loved the scent and the bottle! Evening in Paris and my absolute favorite Channel No.5.
You can still buy Giorgio of Beverley Hills, originally from the 80s
I’m so envious of your perfume collection! I’ve been a perfume addict since I was a teen in the 70s. I work in a facility with special needs people and the employees are allowed to wear any kind of scent, so there aren’t too many opportunities for me to wear perfume; any bottle I have nowadays lasts me forever. When I was in HS I discovered White Shoulders, still a favorite of mine. My mom was friends with the Avon lady and bought a lot of perfumes, Avon had some pretty good stuff. An older woman GAVE me a bottle of Joy perfume, couldn’t believe it. The Old Vermont Country Store seems Evening In Paris and Blue Waltz, along with other interesting perfumes. Other scents I loved over the years are Maysumi, Jontue, Chloe (it’s out there again but not the same), Wind Song, Love’s Baby Soft (found some in Walgreens a while ago), Charley, Fame (not to be confused with Lady Gaga’s perfume), Ciara, Jovan Musk, Chanel. I never cared for the heavier scents such as Tabu, Shalimar or Emeraude. I’m a big fan of Liz Taylor perfumes. I just wish I could wear my perfume to work, I’d do it every day.
Oh that’s a bummer I love perfume too
Masumi, wow I wore that in the early '80s; also wore 'You're the Fire' in the mid '70s.
I’m obsessed with perfume/beauty products and I like to collect them... not vintage products specifically, but I’m so happy I found your channel because I love all things vintage and beauty. What could be better than a channel that puts the two together!? ❤️
Opium and Magie Noir...two classics of the 80' 😉❤
Agree
I’m having such a nice feeling watching this video, I already knew more than half of this perfumes because of my mom! She rather still have some of them or has wear them before, as well as my aunties and grandma ☺️ this is just a lovely channel, lots of love from argentina ♥️
My mom wore Les Jardins! It was a nice scent on her!
When I think vintage perfume shalimar is the first one that comes to my mind! Will always remind me of my grandmother 💜
I remember my grandma using the youth dew bath oil when I was a little girl. I use it now.😊 I prefer it over the perfume.
Florida water was in a scene from the movie Gone With the Wind

@@Laurajaneatelier In the movie, Scarlett is in mourning for her second husband and is drinking heavily to deal with her guilt. Rhett butler shows up at her house and she picks up the bottle of cologne and gargles it, and then dabs some on herself *the movie company replaced the main label so they wouldn't get in trouble with the cologne company but the bottle shape and the Florida water bottle neck band are still there to give it away* here's a link to the scene. th-cam.com/video/KHbgttQdXv8/w-d-xo.html

I love Lauren from the early 80s. Everybody wore Charlie in the 70s
Does anyone remember “Oh! De London” ? Wore it when I was a teenager in the late 60’s when everything English was trendy.
It was ? made by Yardley.
I can’t bear all the EsteeLauder scents, too heavy.
I still wear Chanel No 5.
Dior also made “Diorissimo”. Haven’t seen it in 20+years, it was very light.
Shelagh Jackson loved Diorissimo!
@@QuickWorksBeauty I remember Oh! de London and tried very hard to find it but without success. Does anyone know where I could find it?
Shelagh: If you ever want to experiment a bit, you might want to see if you can find Estee's Aliage. Floral, very light, but hard to find.
I've been trying to find a fragrance from yardley and I don't know the name and that might be it. It was a 'freak incident', I put it on and let's just say I had a magical day..went back to buy it and it was gone and didn't remember the name....(dont ever leave something without at least getting the name) the perfume was in a bin in an outlet type store...that's why I could never find it when I went back. Then about a week later I ran into some random lady who had on the same scent!! I thought, this is great! I'm gonna ask her what she's wearing..she could not tell me much because for her it was just a random find she picked up and it only had the yardley name or not much to go on for a label. She probably bought the one I was looking at. She loved the scent too!! I was so bummed. I can only hope I someday find that scent again. It's odd something as little as a fragrance, can have that much hold over you... Its probably discontinued now. Or they changed the formulary. I will never forget that story...
Vermont country store carries some vintage scents and I believe are responsive to requests. You might give them a try.
Charlie was just called Charlie in he seventies colours came later
I worked for Revlon when Charlie was launched.The advertising and publicity was crazy.
linda carlton Tes, I remember a lot of publicity. I also remember getting a necklace with a purchase of Charlie, triangle with a ball in the middle!
Yes, I loved Charlie and Jontue in the 70’s- I felt so grown up wearing them. Such a step up from Love’s Baby Soft and Skinny Dip! 😊
Did any one remember Royal Secret and Margriffe?
I remember loving the Charlie commericials as a little girl> th-cam.com/video/YgZb1loCxUM/w-d-xo.html
Maja by Myrurgia the original made in Spain. Popular in Latin America. Our grandmas and aunts perfume. And the soap giftset. The perfect Christmas gift. Absolutely love it.
love the powdwer scent,but the fragrance doesn't smell like the spray.
My favorites are Guerlain Mitsouko (1919), Avon Topaz (1953), Nina Ricci L’Air du temps (1948), Windsong (1953), Coty L’Origan (1905), Norell (1968), Estée Lauder Estee (1968), Balmain Ivoire (1979), YSL “Y” (1964), Paco Rabanne Calandre (1969). As you can see, I LOVE vintage fragrances. Really enjoy your channel👏🏼
Oh yay that’s amazing you have such good taste! So glad you found my channel! Thanks again for watching
You smell fabulous darling.
Love ‘Y’ by YSL! Very lovely
Reading all these comments brought back many memories. I am in my early 50s and I have wear except for three or four most of these perfumes.
My favorite vintage fragrance for which there is a modern version is Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue, which was first formulated in 1912.
WOW. Auntie gave me a bottle of a bottle Blue Waltz when I was a young girl. I love the sweet smell.
Omg, my mil wore that! Back in '89, I found a bottle at Ben Franklin's in a town of about 4500. Needless to say, she was ecstatic.
I remember Mom buying Charlie for the next door neighbor lady. I can recall loving White Shoulders in high school. Blue Jean was popular. Baby Soft. Jovan Musk. Jean Nate.
Loves Baby Soft! Plus the music in the background was so incredibly cute!

My absolute all time favorite is “Interlude” by Frances Denney. I only wire it in the cold months because as you described, it was very heavy. And one spritz was plenty. I discovered it in the ‘70’s and still wear it off & on to this day.
I love this fragrance too
I'm very lucky to have a 4 fl oz. bottle of Interlude. It's getting harder to get & it goes for $70-$800 a bottle on Ebay now.
I used to use Charlie in the 1970’s! Loved it at that time but went back to my Chanel No. 5 and a couple of Estée Lauder fragrances. I especially love “Private Collection” which is Estée Lauder vintage and was initially a fragrance she invented for herself. Loved this video!❤️
My favourite of all time. 50 years & still wearing it. Hard to find now.
Gweneth Rogers Private Collection. Very best....
Lilly of the valley from Avon reminds me of my late mother. I also love evening in Paris. Could only afford Avon perfumes in my teenage years.
Mallah Bibi Lily of the Valley was main fragrance note of Diorissimo.
I loved Timeless - my mom sold Avon so there was always some around.
Avon’s “Occur!” reminds me of my aunt, who wore it in the 1960’s.
@@ellenlawrenson8046 I love that scent! I have a vintage 3 piece set with powder, perfume sachet and spray perfume. The bottles are so pretty and the scent is too. Avon truly made some beautiful fragrances.
Channel No. 5 is my favorite perfume. When I was a kid it smelled like what we called old lady perfume, heavy & strong. They upgraded the scent & it's now very soft & light. I literally have been stopped by strangers (both men & women) who have commented on how good I smell & ask if they could lean in closer to "smell" me.🤣 There used to be a perfume in the late 70's made by Coty called Sophia (after Sophia Loren) that the newer Channel No.5 smells like. I've worn perfume since before I was a teenager so I've tried all the perfumes you mentioned, including all the Avon ones. In the late 60's, very early 70's Love's Baby Soft was popular with young girls, Yardley made several popular scents. Jean Nate was also worn by some of my friends. I wore Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps often during that time. Charlie was definately popular in the 70's, then musk became popular & perfumes like Oleg Cassini's Musk was worn alot. Still have that bottle, & it actually has not become rancid despite the age! (I don't wear it, just still have it....) This was a very interesting video on vintage perfumes, please do more!
Eau de London was a good one from Yardley
No.5 smelled like cat pee on me. I could never see the appeal!
I was given Charlie as a teen. And started wearing it. I liked it, but unfortunately my darling cat HATED it, so no more Charlie. No perfume at all, because she ruled with an iron paw.
Guerlain Jicky has been around since 1889.. also Mitsouko from 1919 and L'heure Bleue from 1912.
yes L'heure Bleue!
@@thevandeheys6533 And Vol de Nuit and Eau Impériale.
Btw, did you know that "Jicky" was the family name for "Jacques" Guerlain as a child and the perfume was named after him.
(I was fortunate enough to work in Guerlain when it was still a family company).
@@thevandeheys6533 There was also a very old Guerlain perfume called "Après l'Ondée" (After the Downpour), beautifully light and recreating that wonderful light freshness that one feels in the air after a heavy rain shower. It came in a lovely Victorian/Edwardian bottle.
My grandmother wore L'Heure Bleu by Guerlain and I love that fragrance. I wear it now and often get asked what it is.
All gorgeous, Allie.
I remember Charlie. It was very popular. One of my favorites from my childhood (I’m 62) was emeraude, I believe made by Cory. Two others were Heaven Scent and Tabu.
The original Fendi oh my if they would just release it just for Christmas a limited amount even every 5 or 10yrs pleaasseee
Fendi smells so good! You can catch a few bottles on Ebay but some are charging waaaayyy too much.
My mom loves the original Fendi!!
That’s actually the background music they played in the finer department stores when I was a little girl shopping with my mom. Also my mom wore Youth Dew among many others. Love the video it brings back memories of long lost senses so to speak....💕😊
Thanks so Much
4711 is my Grandma's favorite perfume, the acent brings me home... basically it is what I smell eveytime I hug her. She has been using the same perfume since she was a young woman ❤
Yardley of London is a floral vintage brand from I think around the 1700s xx
Ah yes I love that brand
Love Yardley body powders and the scented soapa.
Laura Jane Atelier Now is own by a company from India, they reformulated all their perfumes and they don’t smell good.
@@1justice2012 Quite right, I wore April Violets for years but it is rubbish now.
Sylvia Drummond What a coincidence, I too got April Violets a couple years ago from Amazon, when first spray it on I got a very fainted smell of the perfume, half a minute later smelled so awful that I had to take a shower.
Still wear Shalimar and Opium. Never tire of them.
You are one sexy smelling women😉
Oh my 💚
Arpege, Sortilege, original Magie by Lancome, Femme, Passport by Goya ☺
Not Cabochard? I got a teeny vial forty years ago, still live it, and it’s still available.
I remember Blue Waltz being in tiny bottles when I was growing up,at McCroy's and Woolworths. (BTW, I'm going on 63)
Floridawater is also used by allot of people on their body or in bath to bade against negative energy! You can also cleane you're house with it to remove negative energy
AquariusIng wow I'm gonna order it
Yesssss and it also keep you cool in summer . i live in new orleans our summers are horrid lol.
@@yazmorales9015 yes is very good
@@Tamzbongeaux yes that also and i can imagine
What is Florida water and where can you get it
Evening in Paris was always in the Sears Christmas catalogue. I thought it was very elegant. I was 12 . Mom used to have Maja soap by the bathtub. My brother loved it.
I was given an Evening in Paris gift set for Christmas when I was around 13. I wore Charlie throughout most of high school and college. I must admit that I loved it then, and it's still so nostalgic for me now! Thanks for this video!
Thanks for watching my mom also said she was gifted evening in Paris when she was a kid
I love Estee Lauder.. Youth Dew was made as an evening scent..
Youth Dew originally was a bath oil and was used daily. A few drops in a hot bath is absolutely beautiful and very soft smelling.
Oh my I had forgotten about Charlie! If you're a 90's teen you will probably remember the Cindy Crawford commercial. I had totally forgotten about the commercial too. I so love your channel! Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
Thanks so much for watching, I’m so glad you enjoy my channel. I don’t remember that commercial. I was born in 1984 so maybe I just missed it
Shelly Hack was in the commercial too.
Ooh I got it for my 13th birthday in 1973...always loved Charlie. That was it's original release. I think Shelley Hack was the ad model...it was meant to be less feminine and more liberated free woman lol
Halston perfume was very popular in the 70's. I loved it but now I realise it was too heavy of a scent.
Oh interesting now I want to try it
@@Laurajaneatelier I love it and still wear it today
It's one of the very few perfumes I constantly get compliments about
Where do you buy it? Remember wearing the Halston bean as jewelry?
Yes I wore Halston for a very short time. The scent wore out its welcome on me and I couldn’t finish the bottle.
I collect and wear vintage perfumes. This was so fun! There are many you can get today but most, sadly, have been reformulated to death. That Miss Dior you have smells nothing like the original, which was my Moms fragrance when I was growing up. Many vintage perfumes are chypre scents that are not popular with the masses today and no longer made , but those are my favorites. Modern chypres are not made with the same ingredients due to regulations. Charlie was one of my first fragrances in High School, and boy would I like to smell the original again. It was just "Charlie!", not blue, and is a green floral chypre. Thank you for sharing your collection! Julia
Somewhat late! But I had to give a thumbs up to a fellow chypre fan .I used to love them. I remember Colette's books about Claudine and she always wore chypre perfumes! As I type this the word Chypre keeps getting underlined - tells me everything about how out of date they have become.
Does anybody remember Charles of the Ritz perfume? I would love to find some!
I wish I could at least sniff it again...
Yes indeed, our grandma only wore that scent.
I saw it on E bay....very expensive. I wore it all the time. So did Cher.
yes, I do.
Yes, I do, wonderful perfume! I may still have a bottle stashed away.
Anyone remember Skinny Dip? And oh would it be wonderful if they still made the original Ambush!!
Oh Yes ! I wore Skinny Dip in H.S. in the 70's,very refreshing.
My grandmother wore Chanel 5 and my mother wore Oleg Cassini. Both I loved!
I liked Pavlova. Wish I could get it.
I used to love Imprevu by Coty and I think you can still buy Emeraude abroad. Vintage 1000 by Jean Patou is the most amazing scent I've ever smelt.
These sound lovely thanks so much for sharing im going to look it up
I just got Mille 1000. It is stunning. 😊
I still love Emeraude!
You can buy Emeraude in the US too!
Ceci B-I adored Imprevu! It was so lovely at a time when many perfumes were just stinky.
TABU, was my mother's favorite!
Youth Dew was my grandmas favorite and Charlie was my Aunts . It brought back memories especially the blue bottle which I remember her having. I liked the way it felt kinda rubbery.
