When you first starting dating , what was your favorite perfume or cologne to wear. Mine was Jean Nate. And you?

1. I borrowed my Mom's White Shoulders

for my first formal date. I still think of her if an older woman walks by wearing that scent. My first date with my husband I wore Eternity.

[FalloutShelter]

3. It was White Shoulders for me too.

Still love the scent of gardenia.

[MoonlightHillFarm]

2. Ambush

[EYESORE 9001]

4. English Leather

I transitioned into Grey Flannel later on, finally eschewing olfactory enhancement therapy altogether, preferring to remain scentless.I was surprised by a yuge bottle of Grey Flannel on my last birthday that I just know is a lifetime supply -and then some.

5. Anise-anise by Cacheral.

[u4ic]

16. Anais Anais

Anise is liquorice, might make some run

[Srkdqltr]

23. I thought it looked wrong. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 thanks. I still wear it BTW. 61st wedding anniversary today.

[applegrove]

29. I have that now. I wear it once a year.

[LuckyCharms]

6. Deb, I used to wear a scent called "Eau No".

[Kali]

18. LOL!

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Wind Song.

[JMCKUSICK]

8. Drakkar Noir

[LoisB]

9. My Aunt Margie's English Lavender by Yardley.

[Kali]

20. I liked Yardley Lavender too

if you can find it now it is not the same at all. though there are other decent lavender products out there. I just kind of got tired of it and am now on the search for citrus scents.

[LoisB]

24. I hope you find a good one. Refreshing.

[Polly Hennessey]

10. I have a few: Love's Fresh Lemon; White Shoulders;

Sweet Honesty; Wind Song. One other - L’Heure Bleu by Gurlaine. I had to stop wearing this one because my husband said it gave him a headache. I was worried because I thought he said I gave him a headache 🤕 😆

[kerry-is-my-prez]

34. Like those 2 but also Muguet des Bois, Charlie, Loves Lemon,

[Niagara]

11. "Nosferatu" by Heretic Parfum

At your neck and call.

[Harker]

12. Treat anyone to a stake dinner?

[Niagara]

15. Yes, with Fang fries. That is my grave news.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

37. And bloody Marys?

[Niagara]

40. Fang-tabulous. I'm coffin up some laughs here. Be sure to save room for some vein-illa ice cream

[Aristus]

13. I always just used a drug store cologne. Nothing fancy. Not expensive.

It was called Iron. It smelled pretty good; not cheap or overwhelming at all. My future wife liked it. She associated the smell with me so strongly that she just called it "Smells Like Bob".

Now she has an intolerance to fragrances. She used to be a fragrance model back in the day, and I guess all those years of inhaling those strong perfumes ruined them for her.

[Talitha]

14. Tabu

It was all the rage when I was 'that age'.

[u4ic]

17. Jovan Musk, Love's Baby Soft

[Niagara]

21. I have to admit I still wear Coty Wild Musk

I can wear Coty Wild Musk but I can't wear Jovan Musk.

The Jovan brand makes me sneeze like crazy!

[Kali]

19. I remember that!

some family friends gave me a gift set. it wasn't bad. I have never been much into "artificial stench" I remember having some kind of spray that was green apple scent and came in a glass bottle shaped like an apple.

I recently found and ordered lemon up products at Vermont Country Store. disappointing both in quality and the scent. guess you can't go back to the past.

[hunter]

22. I always go with unscented.

Unscented soap, shampoo, deodorant, laundry detergent...

I find scents distracting, sort of like itchy clothes. I've also got a good seam ripper so I can remove the tags from shirts.

[hamsterjill]

25. Oh, come on now!!! Was there anything else?

Skinny Dip, of course.

[Ocelot II]

26. L'Air du Temps.

[dhol82]

35. I loved that scent!

Used it as an Eau de Cologne and their powder.
Not made any longer.

[applegrove]

27. I rarely dated so I didn't partake in perfume. I was s a teen when I was told that my hair smelt of shampoo fragrance

(Agree) but that didn't sink it and my hair was long, I never used conditioner, so people may have thought I was wearing perfume when I was not.

[dflprincess]

28. Yardley Jade

My grandmother used their lavender so that was a no-go for me.

[skylucy]

30. Estee Lauder Youth Dew.

[tblue37]

31. Shalimar & less often, Chantilly.

[greatauntoftriplets]

32. 4711.

Later I wore Shalimar and L'Heure Bleu. Now I almost never wear any scent because I never go anywhere dressy.

[Phoenix61]

33. Youth Dew then moved to Giorgio and Chloe. Still love both.

Sadly they quit making Chloe.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

36. Love's Baby Soft

And I still love it.

Hard to find, though.

[zanana1]

38. Avon's Honeysuckle perfume was my favorite.

[Emile]

39. English Leather

[no_hypocrisy]

41. Muguet des Bois and Emeraude

Drugstore cheap and were nuanced.
