I love and have worn all of the perfumes you mention. I am in my 60s and vintage myself. 🙂 I love vintage perfumes. There are so many to discover and rediscover, each unique though also of its era. I wear more modern and mass appealing scents for going out or socializing, but I indulge in vintage at more often home.
Great choices. I also love youth dew, which smells like an exotic cookie, and I love Chanel no 5 of course, and just ordered a vintage emeraude.. How about Eden, also by cacharel. It's really unique.
Now, I know why I found my way to your channel: You are a vintage perfume enthusiast like myself. As someone who is vintaged herself, I remember and smelled original formulations of Halston, Lauren,etc vs today's and there's no comparison. I hate reformulated fragrances. However, my quest in finding original formulation perfumes I had to abandon because I literally couldn't find them in wearable condition.
I love L'Air du Temps; that and Fidji (by Guy Laroche) are my favourites. I'm currently trying to find out more about other vintage scents, like Tabu and Joy (just ordered samples!). Sadly, Chanel No. 5 smells awful on me and gives me a headache. Chanel No 19 is better for me.
1980s I went nuts for Valentino by Valentino. I am still crazy about it but, you cannot get it anymore. You used to be able to find bottles of it floating around. That was my scent. I loved the melon scent that swirled around the florals and all the notes. It was like endless summer. But, the 1980s had that endless summer vibe to it. It always felt like you should go to the pool or beach. Fun. And Valentino was so perfect. It may be too light hearted and endless summer fun for this era of darkness, crabbiness, rudeness and angst. So it's just as well it was discontinued awhile back. But, I still love it.
Well said! I haven't had the chance to try Valentino, but Sublime by Jean Patou gives me a similar feeling. It's a very sunny and joyful fragrance for me.
@@willowschafer I will have to give a try. I always wanted a good substitute for Valentino but, so far things have been less then stellar. Looking forward to try this. Exciting!
I know it was 2 months ago that you posted your comment but, I am really curious about Baccarat rouge 540. I've heard people are crazy for it but, not much about how it smells on. What its like do you know?
Please answer this one...there was a very inexpensive cologne called cherry vanilla musk. My friend loved it, and I decided to see if I liked it because, I am not a fan of musk, or powdery scents. She got many compliments, and I want something DIFFERENT ! I hope I can locate it.
@@willowschafer I've learned a lot about vintages from another UA-camr. His channel is Ramsey. You might have to search Ramsey Perfume though. He get's into what they older bottles look like. Different batches etc. his videos are long, but worth it. Rich Mitch is another channel that gets into the vintages. If you know them great, if you don''t, check them out. They both do live chats which are fun. There are couple others, but I'm going to run out of space soon. We all have fun. Please consider joing the party.

Do you know Tabu by Dana? I think you might like it.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking about getting a bottle. I know it's a classic!
You can still get the original Miss Dior
