I still have a bottle of Bottled Emotion in "Flirty"

What were your favorite perfumes/colognes?

Do any of you still wear the same thing today?

Anything discontinued you miss?

Lived and died (mostly died) by Preferred Stock. I still have about two thirds of a bottle, and it still smells the same.

I transitioned since then, all fruit scents from Bath and Body Works for me now.

That Bamboo Leaf sounds really nice. I see you can still find random bottles online so I might have to track some down just to smell it at least once. Lol

this is what it used to look like:

The problems with finding it online are:
1. It only appears on dodgy sites, with the product photo compressed for 2002 internet
2. Even if still sealed, I don't believe the smell would survive for 20 years. It was a water-based spray, not an oil-based perfume that keeps the fragrance as intended.

But yeah, it was my absolute favorite. Elegant, fresh and very gentle. It was replaced by [this perfume](https://www.ebay.com/itm/144979948334?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D9825561e10d74180a7f06cd4e41bd630%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D113432436926%26itm%3D144979948334%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWebV9BertRefreshRankerWithCassiniEmbRecall%26brand%3DKENZO&_trksid=p2332490.c101224.m-1) by manufacturer later, but it's way sweeter cheaper smelling.

Thank you for the info! I don't know why I stupidly assumed maybe it was discontinued more recently since you could still find bottles online so I had no idea it was that old.

I don't know if i'm allowed to mention this here but I know there's this place that does perfume revivals and they recreate discontinued scents.

You might like Atelier Cologne's Trefle Pur. It smells like a breeze blowing from a lake at you in the middle of a field in winter. I just close my eyes and feel relief like a breath of fresh air.

Body Fantasy: Raspberry Fantasy. I had both the spray and the lotion. I loved that stuff to death in my early to mid teens.

Bath and Bodyworks needs to get their shit together and bring back Sunsweet Kiwi! I also need the original Candies perfume back and the Juicebar Gummy bear spray

I still wear Clinique Happy (and Happy Heart) as my “errands” perfume

I had Clinique happy at one point! I remember so many women it being their favorite.

Deep-Ad4351@reddit

Yes! It made me feel very grown up since I typically favored sweet smelling perfumes. I also loved Tommy Girl.

That's actually what got me to buy it, I wanted to be like all the cool older teen/young women I knew of because they were wearing it. Like, of course all I need is this and i'm just like them now.

It was that and this very specific eyeliner pencil in this cool toned maybe taupe brown color.

Deep-Ad4351@reddit

EXACTLY!!!!!! Also yes re: taupe. For me it was Bonne Belle Cappuccino Lip Lites (very taupe) and Champagne lip gloss.

Juice Bar cotton candy. I kept wearing this into the 00s as an adult, I love it and it starts to smell like concord grape at the end of the day.

I use to love this too! It's crazy how I can remember what you mean even though I haven't smelled it in so long. I remember my friends and I would spritz it all over us whenever we went to walmart.

Just wanted to show y'all how yellow and gross it looks. It kinda smells like alcohol and syrup but you can still make out the og scent too.
