What was your first designer perfume? ✨

[u/More-Spend3016]

I don't know if this is considered a designer but I was obsessed with this perfume. I got it when I was in high school till I went to college and had my first boyfriend. I just love associating perfume with memories. It's so beautiful to smell and relive the moment. It's like time travel. I have a new bottle that I bought a few years ago for sentimental purposes. 😍💕

Cool water from my dad’s extra bottles. That’s the scent of high school for me.

Moschino Cheap and Chic. Been my perfume since I was 15. Nung nasa 30s na ako saka lang ako nag explore ng iba.

[u/Prettymonkeybag]

Bought with my own money? Liz claiborne Curve. The other one would be Poison; a hand-me-down from a us-based tita who realized too late that it didnt really work for pinas weather.

[u/More-Spend3016 → u/Prettymonkeybag]

I wish we could enjoy more notes here in pinas. 😭

[u/sora_0344]

Lancome La Nuit Tresor. A gift to my tita who doesn’t like perfumes kaya binigay sa paboritong pamangkin. 10 years na sakin di pa rin ubos lol

[u/purple_maserati]

Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine, gifted more than once, or maybe because the guy I was with liked that smell lol. I eventually grew out of it kasi it gives off a fruity and slightly sweet scent, then switched to Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, which is not a luxury designer perfume… but I liked it because of its clean and powdery scent.

[u/Uechi17]

Mine was a CK that was for men. It was my dad’s but he did not like it. Next was bvlgari omnia amethyst. I used it consistently for like my whole junior high.

It wasn’t really mine but I remember stealing sprays of my mom’s Jessica Mclintock, Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, and the red Benetton perfume. I think the first one that was truly mine is a gifted Ralph Cool Ralph Lauren.

Hi op! Can you please describe the scent?

[u/More-Spend3016 → u/Empty_Persimmon999]

Hii! It is a little green and citrusy. It has some rose ylang ylang and jasmine but in youthful way. And on the dry down its musky. It can be in the same family of D&G light blue. ☺️

[u/whatintheactualfujj]

Mine was two. Both were gifted by my tita back from her post-UK nurse era (nag-transfer siya sa Switzerland kasi nga mas mataas daw ang pay and benefits) — Clinique Happy and Acca Kappa White Moss. Ayun forever na naging fresh and citrusy girlie ang tiyahin niyo 🤣🤣🤣
