These fragrances were so strong back then, you could smell the perfume before you saw the person that was wearing it! So beautiful but so sad that those scents now are shadows of their former selves.
I adored Love's baby soft as a kid. It made me feel grown up but the fragrance was appropriate for a youngster. The old ads are creepy if you haven't seen them. I would have not given it one mind as a child though. Heaven Scent was a popular perfume in Jr. high.
I was an outlier in those days, wearing Chanel No 5 and Oscar de la Renta as a teenager, while my friends wore Charlie and Jovan Musk. But my great love was Opium, so luxurious, so opulent. It was a spectacular fragrance!! And no, the current rendition of the old Opium, while similar, is not the same.
I wore opium in the 80s in Jr. High and got so many compliments. I remember a teacher being upset because it smelled too heavy on her. I don't know why but that one worked for me. I then moved on to Clinique Happy and Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers. I de-evolved ! I prefer less sweet fragrances now. I guess I should retry Opium!
I was a 70s teenager I wore youth dew /tabu /o de lancome /charlie/ panache/anais anais/tweed/chique/pagan/tramp/blasé and more still wear most of them today too xx love this channel soki thank you much love jenny
What a coincidence! My mom who never wears perfume much showed me a drawer filled with perfumes she bought in Paris years ago and one of them was Diorella! There's so much storytelling in perfumes and I just love them more and more!
I’m a 70s baby. The non perfume smells I remember were Ann French cleanser, roller ball strawberry lip gloss, astral hand cream ( the advert used to show a dried out leaf that, once coated in Astral, became as supple as a baby’s bum and YSL without a doubt! Loving that 70s vibe outfit! Your ideas for videos are amazing!
my sister was a teenager in the seventies and I remember Jovan Musk being THE thing, and I remember her just dousing herself with Tabu, my best friend always wore Ciara, by Revlon, and my mother had those bath beads that was the Jovan Mink and Pearls, I can just smell it now in my mind. I am not sure what the oak moss scent is, now I need to figure that one out.
Thank you for this lovely clip. I own Diorella and absolutely love it! It's my favourite on this list! Also have Rive Gauche, Aliage and Charlie which are also lovely.. You forgot to mention two of my other favourites which I absolutely love and lso own are Chanel Cristalle EDT and 19. I was too young to wear these in the 70s but discovered them a few years ago.
A lighter, creamier, smoother, slightly sweeter dupe for YSL Opium is Café by CofinLuxe (1978). Very airy & skeletal, but not long-lasting, from the same nose responsible for Must de Cartier. Much cheaper than Opium. Many prefer Café to the current-formula Opium (has nothing to do with coffee).
YSL Opium was the first ever fragrance i smelled. I used to smell it when my mother would spritz it before she went out with my father. Haven't smelled it in years, but i still remember it.
Love this series and not putting big pictures of fragrances in the thumb nail really amped me up and prepared me for a surprise. I had no idea that there are so many fragrances from this era still sold, great video
My signature scent as a teenager was YSL (The Original) Opium while everyone I knew wore Charlie. I wasn’t trying to be different. I wore it because it was my one and only true love in the 70’s.
One I can't find the commercial for was Styx from the early 1970's by Coty. Loved that scent. Kinda mysterious.... And another one gone away was Ninja perfume from the 1980's...Very oriental spicy scent..Loved Ninja too.. Some scents that were so good they do away with.
I never find gorgeous perfumes like the one's in the 70's I used Estee Lauder -Estee ( believe it or not the smell in the empty bottle remained for years) I used also ,Femme , Fidji , Miss Balmain ,Madame Rochas,Mystere Rochas, YSL Silver and blue bottle, Pacco Rabanne female, Chanel N°5 .
Absolutely love this❤❤❤ I was growing up seeing and smelling some of them from my grandma's wardrobe. Much regret that I threw them away. These bottles are so classic.
My first perfume was beautiful. It was Green Apple by Max Factor. Incredible scent! Have always tried to find something similar. It was the beginning of the 70's
I really enjoyed this video, brought me back in time. ❤️ My very first perfume was Anais Anais. ❤️ After that, I loved and wore Rive Gauche for years and years, it was my signature scent. ❤️ I miss it so much. Later I also liked Eau de Calandre by Paco Rabanne. ❤️ My mom liked YSL Rive Gauche and Ysatis by Givenchy. ❤️ Have Anais Anais and Rive Gauche been reformulated? Do they still smell the same? What does it mean when a perfume is no longer produced for decades, but someone is selling it on Amazon? Thanks in advance for your response.
I remember some 70s fragrances...I was born in the early 70s. My mom wore YSL Opium for years; then she switched it to Guerlain’s Shalimar, which was better than the intense Opium scent. I also remember a Gucci flanker, which was strong & that came out in the late 70s/early 80s👃🏻👧🏻
Blimey this was a blast from the past and had me revisiting my late teens/early 20's. The perfumes I wore before I could afford the more designer ones were Faberge Kiku and Xanadu, Coty Masumi, Charlie and Worth Je Reviens. When I started working I wore a few of these you mentioned, loved Aliage, Diorella and Rive Gauche. I did have Opium but in all honesty I hated it and still do, way too overpowering for me. Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane❤
I love your videos soooooo much. I just discovered your channel just 2 days ago and I am going through all your videos. I hope you keep posting these amazing content. I hope you hit 100k by end of this year. I love your videos I have your post notifications on!
@@annoldham3018 Oh yes, definitely. I remember being a teen in the 90‘s and feeling very attracted to the bottle. I knew I loved the fragrance even before I tried it. I know it sounds cheesy but this really happened to me 🥰
Hi Soki, since subscribing to your channel, my perfume collection has grown from about 30 to 79 bottles!!! I am reliving my past perfumes lol. But still not found a replacement for ghost serenity. I looooove opium mmmm its nearly edible .
In the 1980s, my lovely Auntie used to buy bottles of Yves St. Laurent's Rive Gauche for me. The first time she gifted me one, I thanked her. She thought I liked it and kept buying bottles of it for me. I absolutely DETESTED the smell of it the first time I used it, and never even opened any of the subsequent rive gauche bottles she bought for me. I thought it had the most disgusting smell, like stagnant pond-water.
Opium is not exactly the same I just bought it but it's less beautiful as before they made all those more synthetic than before. Rive gauche also was great. Anais they say it is still same
Anyone recalll one called something like 4am? Have never been able to re-find any mention. Loved Aqua Manda (late 60s early 70s), Hyplotique (with the black cat!), Musk oil and Ambergris oil (all time favourite). I treated myself to Lair du temps (more expensive) and there was also the bargain Sea Jade. Never liked Tweed, but do you remember Tramp! nd i see someone mentioned Panache!!
Would SMELL Opium in the Stores & I about gaged eveyTime ! It NOT ONLY fill the whole ROOM but filled the whole STORE, haha.. I wore Jovan Musk & Charlie !!
For me the iconic scent of working class West Yorkshire was Estee Lauders Youth Dew. I saw a bottle in Malta a few years ago and I had to buy it be transported back to the 60/70’s. Walk by the crowded pubs and clubs at that time and all you could smell was Youth Dew. Living in Castleford as a kid, my next door neighbour, Aunty Mary, would ask me when I was going into Leeds to call in at the department store Lewis’s to bring her a bottle of Youth Dew. You could smell Aunty Mary before she appeared. Fantastic memories of a past filled with love and community.
Opium always gave my mum a headache. She went to the theatre with me one night and the lady sat in front had it on. Very embarrassing scene ensued! I thought it was quite nice.😆🥰
Pleas can you answer me about the home of an old parafum it is ungaro and thank you very muchfor all these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Indeed
I was a child in the 70's and us girls all wore perfume, either Sweet Honesty, Love's Baby Soft, Heavens Sent or Babe
Love's Baby Soft was my first perfume!
I adored Love's baby soft as a kid. It made me feel grown up but the fragrance was appropriate for a youngster. The old ads are creepy if you haven't seen them. I would have not given it one mind as a child though. Heaven Scent was a popular perfume in Jr. high.
@@cindypruitt9534 I still wear them both
I remember wearing Wind Song, Heaven Scent, Baby Soft in Lemon, oil perfumes such as cherry & strawberry. Ahhhh, takes me back to those hippie days.😊
Please do a video on vintage perfumes still available today, from the 40s and 50s, fragrances that movie stars wore, etc. That would be super cool!
I can solve your problem.They whore Guerlain , Chanel, Creed . :)
Nice idea !
I would love to see a video about those older perfumes! Classics like 'Evening in Paris', 'Blue Waltz', 'Emeraude', 'Youth Dew', etc.
I was an outlier in those days, wearing Chanel No 5 and Oscar de la Renta as a teenager, while my friends wore Charlie and Jovan Musk. But my great love was Opium, so luxurious, so opulent.

most of them today too xx love this channel soki thank you much love jenny
Thanks for sharing!!
Yes me too….I’d forgotten about some of these
What a coincidence! My mom who never wears perfume much showed me a drawer filled with perfumes she bought in Paris years ago and one of them was Diorella! There's so much storytelling in perfumes and I just love them more and more!
these perfumes through the decades series is my absolute favorite of yours! 💕
Loved that you showed the advertisements, great video!!!
In the 70s I wore Tabu and Loves Baby Soft. I was a kid then and loved those scents. Oh Exclamation as well.
I’d love this series to return! Perfumes of the 60s and 50s would be great to hear about!
I’m a 70s baby.

Anais Anais is still my favourite scent. Got some for Christmas 🎄 as well as Eden. It's like Gucci Bloom but a fifth of the price!😆
Charlie actually lasted a VERY long time 🙂

Glenda Carpenter I wore the heck out ciara
@@naturopathicobsessedrenee5515 I might have to smell that again, it will bring back some memories for sure
I still love the original ysl opium😍 not for every day, but it is so special ❤

I wish the Original Opium was still available
N&S have a look on eBay a just bought a mini opium edt vintage splash
Me too, it had a unique smell, that the modern version doesn't have 😥,
@@jamhuman2499 I'd be afraid of buying a fake
I love how in your 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s vids you have appropriate wardrobe :D 10/10 Baby!
Loooove your channel!! You explain sooo well!
I was a teenager in the 70 so this is when I first got into perfume. I wore tabu, musk oil and sukina from lentharic
My 70 fav was Shalimar, opium, le de by Givenchy, y-axis, Charlie, babe faberge, youth dew and rive gauche
I was a teen in the 70’s and Loves Baby Soft was all the rage but I wore Tigress by Fabrege and Oscar.
When you get to the 80s I hope you will review Paloma Picasso! For personal reasons it's one of my favorite female fragrances! Love the 70s review!
Yay - 70’s! I wore Heaven Scent, then Charlie, then Chanel No. 5. I remember all those beautiful ads, too. Thanks, Sophie!
My mum loved Heaven Scent body spray

Absolutely love this❤❤❤
I was growing up seeing and smelling some of them from my grandma's wardrobe. Much regret that I threw them away. These bottles are so classic.
How have I never sniffed Diorella?! Just added the Dior, Estée Lauder, and Cacheral to my try list.
My first perfume was beautiful. It was Green Apple by Max Factor. Incredible scent! Have always tried to find something similar. It was the beginning of the 70's
Opium since 1979 in my collection. Private Collevtion! Love original Chañie. Yuk Anaia Anais yuk yuk

My late grandma used Charlie. I need to buy one, to remember her.
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤️
YSL OPIUM ! RIVE GAUCHE EXCELLENT TO WEAR TODAY 👌
Wore avon , it was cheap back then, all I could afford
Eau Givree was my favourite Avon. Lovely green fragrance. 🥰
I used white Charlie in the 90s but it was only sold on holidays
Great review. ❤
You need to get your hands on the perfume called Sugarful by michel Germain!!!! It’s soooo nice :) you’ll love it!
Love Opium and Rive Gauche.
I love the Rive Gauche bottle design. It's very iconic.

Goodmorning sokii!! My fav perfume vlogger
Hello can you just tell me a few more words about Ysl Rive Gauche?!
Diorella was my mom's choice back then... I wish I could find a bottle for her.
I put links to the where you can get them in the description:)
@@SokiLondon
I remember my mom having Cinnabar, Wind Song. They would buy us Loves Baby Soft or Sweet Honesty lol
Could you do a review of Andron? I still love that scent for the summer months.
Hi Soki! Can you please do a comparison video between Prada Candy, Armani Si & Viva la Juicy & which is the best in your opinion? Thanks☺️
Hello! Candy is caramel, si is vanilla and juicy is fruity vanilla. They are all good for lasting. Personally I think Armani si is the most classy :)
I loved this video!
Thanks 😊

I agree! My mother had the original one from 1977. The new ones are more like watered down flankers to me
@@yvespiderssmells9956 they do it on purpose so that we buy the new ones I think the old ones were unique

😮COTY WILD MUSK!!🌺
Back when it actually was something more than just colored water
Opium 👍
Would SMELL Opium in the Stores & I about gaged eveyTime ! It NOT ONLY fill the whole ROOM but filled the whole STORE, haha.. I wore Jovan Musk & Charlie !!
Would it be possible to do an in-depth perfume reviews on Givenchy Perfume as there is not a lot of videos out there covering this
Sure on my list !

Hi Soki. Can you review the Viktor and Rolf Magic range next.

Great video.
Does anyone remember the perfume Blue Jean in the 70’s ?

My mum loved opium but i hated it i just to love anais anais but went of it because it didnt smell the same
