Blue Stratos and Old Spice.
Saw these on sale today and it brought back memories of the perfumes I used to wear in my early years. I also liked Charles of the Ritz Ritual and Tabu.
What perfume brings back memories for you?

I loved Gingham and was instantly recognised at work. The salesperson today said she had been asked about it several times recently.

I bought my mum some Apple Blossom with my first pay packet when I was 17. That one the salesperson had never heard of.

Sorry had to edit as Blue came up without the Stratos!

My dad likes Brut and Old Spice and still gets bought them by his grandkids. My mum always wore Sea Jade by Yardley. I used to like Cachet by Prince Matchabelli and my sister loved Aqua Manda.

Lovely to read all the posts but can't believe no-one has heard of Apple Blossom. Mind you it was the late 60's.

Ah Gem Queen,
Aqua Manda,
I even have it written at the front of my diary so if they ever bring it back I won't forget what it was called.
Does that make sense?I'm sure you know what I mean. LOL
