My Workplace bathroom smells like 1995

phunkyphish

It's like a weird combo of Elizabeth Arden's Sunflowers and Cucumber Melon. I feel like I'm back in the middle school locker room. 

Just for fun, and because It's a slow day and I'm bored, what smells take you back in time? 

NotSharknado

Vanilla Fields perfume.

When I walk into the mall and smell pretzels and Cinnabon.

Cucumber melon anything. It was so popular in our middle school. Also white diamonds and cigarettes lol.... reminds me of my grandma!

My favorite scents are 1997 (AKA Sun Ripened Raspberries) and 1991 (White Rain hairspray and Malibu Musk). 

NotSharknado

Smell of watermelon gum.

nanabanana06

Anything that smells of fake cotton candy. Makes go back to 5th and 6th grade.

NotSharknado

Herbal Essance body wash/shampoo

shadypines

I used to live in Sun Ripened Raspberries! I totally forgot about that. Also used the herbal essence everyday, and was totally disappointed I didn't enjoy it as much as the ladies in the commercials.

Cool Water perfume and CKone.

My 9th grade boyfriend used to wear Eternity.  Anytime I smell that, it takes me back to the countless hours that we spent making out in the back of the '88 Crown Victoria (aka.. The Tank) that I had to drive.

Middle school reminds me of Love's Baby Soft, stale cigarette smoke, and Aqua Net. 

Thanks, really old middle school locker room.  

angelashly

Cool water, CK one, cucumber melon, or love spell from VS.

Also Polo blue because my SO used to wear it when we first started dating.

My mom's lotion she used to wear when I was little.  I think it was called Raintree?  I remember the bottle. 

Drakkar Noir takes me back to high school, along with Bath and Body Works Cucumber lotion. 

And not technically a smell, but Fruitopia and Clearly Canadian Strawberry.  Just remembered I drank those every single day.  Class of '95!   Holla. 

I was OBSESSED with clearly canadian, that stuff was the shit back then!

OMG baby soft! That was so gross! I used to love it though. This makes me totally want to put on some ck one, slather on the lip smackers  (fruity fizz was the best), and go make out under the bleachers. 

missyishere

Dr. Pepper lip smackers was my favorite.

I forgot Tommy Girl. 

Yes!! I just looked around on Amazon, and most of these are still available. Even baby soft, doesn't even look like they changed the packaging, it's one step down from Lisa Frank with all the neon hearts, pink, and teal. 

pghmortdoll

Curve, cool water, polo blue, VS Heavenly (still wear this), Mambo, the smell of the mall- especially at Christmas time.

Abercrombie & Fitch Wood reminds me of college.  All the preppy frat boys wore it.  My friends and I would put it on our noses before going out to put us in the party mood.

I used to love the way guys smelled with this on.

Abercrombie 9 was my favorite right around HS graduation.

I used to wear something ALL through high school that I bought at Kmart.  I don't remember the name, but I smelled something recently that was identical and it took me back.

No one said the Gap scents? Those were really cool. Especially Gap Dream.
CK one is another biggie.

missyishere

The smell of a Big Chew gum.

scoutkate

Yep, Gap Dream and also Gap Grass were definitely 95-96 for me. 

StarrySarah

Victoria's Secret Love Spell body spray.  The locker room in middle school would reek of it after gym class.

jorkz821

All the CK perfumes are very high school for me - CKOne, Eternity and Obsession.

I remember this guy in my English class spilled on of those little vials of CKOne but swore it was "just water!!" until the stench started to fill the room. Busted! He was not the brightest.

phunkyphish

Forgot about the Gap scents! Dream was my favorite. It was a happy day when I would go to the Gap for bodysuits and Dream.

@buffaluffagus I love your name! I used to always get those "smells like" versions too. 

EVA116

Cool Water and CK1 and also when I eat strawberries I am instantly reminded of summer.

ASmallWonder

Drakkar was my first crush but Eternity was my first love.  It snaps me right back.

I actually recently bought a bottle of Sunflowers. Love it. We couldn't afford that back in the day but I had an avon knockoff. 

Btw,

Class of 97 Rulz!

I might just have to get some too, I do love the way it smells. I didn't realize it was still sold, I gardly ever wear perfume.

Clinique Happy was on heavy rotation with the girls at my school. I usually went with sweet pea body spray from bath & body works
