IHO of Jean Nate

PIP the perfume/cologne/bodysplash that reminds you of your childhood/teenage years.

I had Jean Nate body splash, but the cologne that really reminds me of my tweens are:

Blue Jeans Cologne:

Blue Jeans Cologne by Shulton

and Loves Baby Soft (I think every girl has had this at some point):

I even had this t-shirt (which my mom hated because I was like 10 yrs old):

Re: IHO of Jean Nate

  • +1 for Luv's Babysoft. That was all over the 6th grade.

    And in high school:

     

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • OMG Bowies - my preteen years just flashed before my eyes.
  • Baby Soft, the Sunflowers spray, and

    I CAN'T SEEM TO FORGET YOU

    YOUR WINDSONG STAYS ON MY MIIIIIND

     

    Picture Joe from Family Guy bellowing that song at the top of his lungs.

    Look with your special eyes.
  • +1 for Love's Baby Soft and Navy

    Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth

    And sadly, I still wear Sunflowers.  It's my favorite. :)

  • I totally forgot about Electric Youth. It had the pink spiral thing in the bottle that was so cool.

    Yessssss I asked for this every Christmas in high school!

  • LOL...Charlie reminds me of my mom.  She wore that when she was younger.

  • I was also obsessed with my grandmother's White Shoulders.

    Oh, and the Designer Imposters of Giorgio - Primo baby!

    This is my siggy.
  • OMG...I remember the imposters body spray. I think I had every scent they made!

  • Definitely the Love's Baby Soft. For men's cologne when I occassionally get a whiff of Drakkar Noir I am immediately taken back to the early 90's and high school.

  • Can't PIP at work, but all the cool guys wore Cool Water cologne in my day.

    And now of course I have a Snoop Doggy Dogg song stuck in my head.

    ETA: I never wore perfume, but I did have a thing for Bath & Body Works body sprays. Still do, actually.

    Oh, FFS.
  • Oh yeah, and Calgon body sprays.  And anything from Bath and Body works.
    Look with your special eyes.

    My DS wears Cool Water.  LOL...I hope I didn't turn him into a dork by buying that for him.  He actually really likes it. It isn't too strong and I think it smells clean and classic.

    My H still wears it, too. I like Cool Water, actually. It reminds me of the good ol' days.

    Oh, FFS.
  • Also, roll-on deodorant and teeny-tiny clinique bar soap.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Holy crap- memories!

    You know how they say a flood of memories can be brought back with a scent? Well, a flood of memories came back with the visual of the scent!

    I had the baby soft and exclamation. I forgot all about the Exclamation, but my eyes widened when I saw it.

    I wish Drakkar was still popular and that MH liked cologne.  

  • I have a feeling FI wore Drakkar and some Ralph Lauren cologne when he was in HS/college.  He uses duffle bags when he travels that have those logos on them.  They look like they may have been a gift w/purchase type of thing.  Probably from when he was dating his ex back in the early to late 90's.

  • I'm pretty sure I had all the Gap scents - Grass and Om were my favorites.  I'm still a total perfume wh0re.

    ETA:  I used to beg my mom for Tresor.  Never got it, but I would spray myself down whenever I went to the mall.

    This is my siggy.

    I wore Tresor in my early to mid 20's.  Pregnancy made me gag when I smelled it and I've never worn it or smelled it since.  I also wore Chloe.  Pregnancy wrecked that one for me too.

    This reminds me of the 70's.  My mom had a bottle of this sitting on her dresser but she never wore it.

    I remember that commercial and now I have that song in my head with the word Enjoli whispered at the end. LOL

  • There were a slew of "mass produced" perfumes: Charlie ("Kind of young kind of wow"), Wind Song, Chantilly ("I feel very Chantilly today") Love's Baby Soft ("You can try hard....") Aquarius, Enjoli, Aviance and more.

    Those were the days.
  • Love's Baby Soft- absolutely!


    And the Calgon body sprays... but SPECIFICALLY in Tahitian Ginger (I have a bottle in my linen closet right now)

    I also think about Cool Water and CK One (when I was a bit older)

  • Drakkar....damn, the boys in highschool used to bathe in that crap!  And I LOVED it.
  • So they still make Love's Baby Soft and I'm totally buying the Jasmine scent and I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS! lol
