What's That Smell?



On the drive in to work this morning, Carisa and I were chatting it up about perfumes (being that Valentine's Day is around the corner and all). We were talking about the scents we prefer and then we somehow got onto the topic of what scents we wore growing up. We're talking Junior High here, people. I mentioned Exclamation! Which every girl in my school wore. We also recalled the Debbie Gibson perfume, I think it was called Electric Blue or something?

So here's the question of the day: what perfume/cologne did you wear during Junior High?

Other random question: I'm due for another bottle of perfume. Do I buy Body by Victoria or Pink? Body is what i usually wear, it's a very clean scent. Pink is a spring sorta scent, light florals. Let me know your thoughts....

And a big thanks to Laine for the beautiful Valentine's Day card! I showed it to all my co-workers and they love the design! You are such an amazing artist! Love you!!!

Liz Claiborne's original perfume, the one in the plastic bottle shaped like a triangle, was really big at my middle school.

Debbie Gibson's perfume was Electric Youth....and I proudly sprayed it (yes, sprayed - I came in a damn AEROSOL bright pink aluminum can) every day. At least until it was used up - and I (smartly I must say) never bought it again.

I also used Sunflowers by....can't remember. Elizabeth somebody or another sticks in my mind - but I could be way off. It was awful as well. Not sickly sweet like Electric Youth....but potent like yucky rotting flowers. Seriously - no wonder I didn't start dating until high school! :)

oh yeah!! the aerosal perfumes! i owned some of those!

Electric Youth! How could I have forgotten that?

When I was 14, my boyfriend, Justin, gave me a bottle of perfume called Olivia. It stunk to high heaven but I wore it religiously.

Well I think I wore Charlie's White, but if I'm rembering correctly I think it came in like White, Blue, and Red...

I also had Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth but mine was in a glass cylinder bottle with a hot pink spring in it...super cool.

I would say go for PINK...but then you would smell like me since that is my new fav.

PINK is a great scent for Spring!
