These fragrances were so strong back then, you could smell the perfume before you saw the person that was wearing it! So beautiful but so sad that those scents now are shadows of their former selves.
I adored Love's baby soft as a kid. It made me feel grown up but the fragrance was appropriate for a youngster. The old ads are creepy if you haven't seen them. I would have not given it one mind as a child though. Heaven Scent was a popular perfume in Jr. high.
I was an outlier in those days, wearing Chanel No 5 and Oscar de la Renta as a teenager, while my friends wore Charlie and Jovan Musk. But my great love was Opium, so luxurious, so opulent. It was a spectacular fragrance!! And no, the current rendition of the old Opium, while similar, is not the same.
I wore opium in the 80s in Jr. High and got so many compliments. I remember a teacher being upset because it smelled too heavy on her. I don't know why but that one worked for me. I then moved on to Clinique Happy and Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers. I de-evolved ! I prefer less sweet fragrances now. I guess I should retry Opium!
What a coincidence! My mom who never wears perfume much showed me a drawer filled with perfumes she bought in Paris years ago and one of them was Diorella! There's so much storytelling in perfumes and I just love them more and more!
I was a 70s teenager I wore youth dew /tabu /o de lancome /charlie/ panache/anais anais/tweed/chique/pagan/tramp/blasé and more still wear most of them today too xx love this channel soki thank you much love jenny
my sister was a teenager in the seventies and I remember Jovan Musk being THE thing, and I remember her just dousing herself with Tabu, my best friend always wore Ciara, by Revlon, and my mother had those bath beads that was the Jovan Mink and Pearls, I can just smell it now in my mind. I am not sure what the oak moss scent is, now I need to figure that one out.
I’m a 70s baby. The non perfume smells I remember were Ann French cleanser, roller ball strawberry lip gloss, astral hand cream ( the advert used to show a dried out leaf that, once coated in Astral, became as supple as a baby’s bum and YSL without a doubt! Loving that 70s vibe outfit! Your ideas for videos are amazing!
A lighter, creamier, smoother, slightly sweeter dupe for YSL Opium is Café by CofinLuxe (1978). Very airy & skeletal, but not long-lasting, from the same nose responsible for Must de Cartier. Much cheaper than Opium. Many prefer Café to the current-formula Opium (has nothing to do with coffee).
Thank you for this lovely clip. I own Diorella and absolutely love it! It's my favourite on this list! Also have Rive Gauche, Aliage and Charlie which are also lovely.. You forgot to mention two of my other favourites which I absolutely love and lso own are Chanel Cristalle EDT and 19. I was too young to wear these in the 70s but discovered them a few years ago.
One I can't find the commercial for was Styx from the early 1970's by Coty. Loved that scent. Kinda mysterious.... And another one gone away was Ninja perfume from the 1980's...Very oriental spicy scent..Loved Ninja too.. Some scents that were so good they do away with.
YSL Opium was the first ever fragrance i smelled. I used to smell it when my mother would spritz it before she went out with my father. Haven't smelled it in years, but i still remember it.
I never find gorgeous perfumes like the one's in the 70's I used Estee Lauder -Estee ( believe it or not the smell in the empty bottle remained for years) I used also ,Femme , Fidji , Miss Balmain ,Madame Rochas,Mystere Rochas, YSL Silver and blue bottle, Pacco Rabanne female, Chanel N°5 .
My signature scent as a teenager was YSL (The Original) Opium while everyone I knew wore Charlie. I wasn’t trying to be different. I wore it because it was my one and only true love in the 70’s.
Love this series and not putting big pictures of fragrances in the thumb nail really amped me up and prepared me for a surprise. I had no idea that there are so many fragrances from this era still sold, great video
Absolutely love this❤❤❤ I was growing up seeing and smelling some of them from my grandma's wardrobe. Much regret that I threw them away. These bottles are so classic.
Blimey this was a blast from the past and had me revisiting my late teens/early 20's. The perfumes I wore before I could afford the more designer ones were Faberge Kiku and Xanadu, Coty Masumi, Charlie and Worth Je Reviens. When I started working I wore a few of these you mentioned, loved Aliage, Diorella and Rive Gauche. I did have Opium but in all honesty I hated it and still do, way too overpowering for me. Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane❤
I remember some 70s fragrances...I was born in the early 70s. My mom wore YSL Opium for years; then she switched it to Guerlain’s Shalimar, which was better than the intense Opium scent. I also remember a Gucci flanker, which was strong & that came out in the late 70s/early 80s👃🏻👧🏻
My first perfume was beautiful. It was Green Apple by Max Factor. Incredible scent! Have always tried to find something similar. It was the beginning of the 70's
@@annoldham3018 Oh yes, definitely. I remember being a teen in the 90‘s and feeling very attracted to the bottle. I knew I loved the fragrance even before I tried it. I know it sounds cheesy but this really happened to me 🥰
I really enjoyed this video, brought me back in time. ❤️ My very first perfume was Anais Anais. ❤️ After that, I loved and wore Rive Gauche for years and years, it was my signature scent. ❤️ I miss it so much. Later I also liked Eau de Calandre by Paco Rabanne. ❤️ My mom liked YSL Rive Gauche and Ysatis by Givenchy. ❤️ Have Anais Anais and Rive Gauche been reformulated? Do they still smell the same? What does it mean when a perfume is no longer produced for decades, but someone is selling it on Amazon? Thanks in advance for your response.
For me the iconic scent of working class West Yorkshire was Estee Lauders Youth Dew. I saw a bottle in Malta a few years ago and I had to buy it be transported back to the 60/70’s. Walk by the crowded pubs and clubs at that time and all you could smell was Youth Dew. Living in Castleford as a kid, my next door neighbour, Aunty Mary, would ask me when I was going into Leeds to call in at the department store Lewis’s to bring her a bottle of Youth Dew. You could smell Aunty Mary before she appeared. Fantastic memories of a past filled with love and community.
Hi Soki, since subscribing to your channel, my perfume collection has grown from about 30 to 79 bottles!!! I am reliving my past perfumes lol. But still not found a replacement for ghost serenity. I looooove opium mmmm its nearly edible .
I love your videos soooooo much. I just discovered your channel just 2 days ago and I am going through all your videos. I hope you keep posting these amazing content. I hope you hit 100k by end of this year. I love your videos I have your post notifications on!
In the 1980s, my lovely Auntie used to buy bottles of Yves St. Laurent's Rive Gauche for me. The first time she gifted me one, I thanked her. She thought I liked it and kept buying bottles of it for me. I absolutely DETESTED the smell of it the first time I used it, and never even opened any of the subsequent rive gauche bottles she bought for me. I thought it had the most disgusting smell, like stagnant pond-water.
Anyone recalll one called something like 4am? Have never been able to re-find any mention. Loved Aqua Manda (late 60s early 70s), Hyplotique (with the black cat!), Musk oil and Ambergris oil (all time favourite). I treated myself to Lair du temps (more expensive) and there was also the bargain Sea Jade. Never liked Tweed, but do you remember Tramp! nd i see someone mentioned Panache!!
Opium is not exactly the same I just bought it but it's less beautiful as before they made all those more synthetic than before. Rive gauche also was great. Anais they say it is still same
Would SMELL Opium in the Stores & I about gaged eveyTime ! It NOT ONLY fill the whole ROOM but filled the whole STORE, haha.. I wore Jovan Musk & Charlie !!
Opium always gave my mum a headache. She went to the theatre with me one night and the lady sat in front had it on. Very embarrassing scene ensued! I thought it was quite nice.😆🥰
Pleas can you answer me about the home of an old parafum it is ungaro and thank you very muchfor all these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Indeed
I was a child in the 70's and us girls all wore perfume, either Sweet Honesty, Love's Baby Soft, Heavens Sent or Babe
Love's Baby Soft was my first perfume!
I adored Love's baby soft as a kid. It made me feel grown up but the fragrance was appropriate for a youngster. The old ads are creepy if you haven't seen them. I would have not given it one mind as a child though. Heaven Scent was a popular perfume in Jr. high.
@@cindypruitt9534 I still wear them both
Please do a video on vintage perfumes still available today, from the 40s and 50s, fragrances that movie stars wore, etc. That would be super cool!
I can solve your problem.They whore Guerlain , Chanel, Creed . :)
Nice idea !
I would love to see a video about those older perfumes! Classics like 'Evening in Paris', 'Blue Waltz', 'Emeraude', 'Youth Dew', etc.
I remember wearing Wind Song, Heaven Scent, Baby Soft in Lemon, oil perfumes such as cherry & strawberry. Ahhhh, takes me back to those hippie days.😊
I was an outlier in those days, wearing Chanel No 5 and Oscar de la Renta as a teenager, while my friends wore Charlie and Jovan Musk. But my great love was Opium, so luxurious, so opulent.

most of them today too xx love this channel soki thank you much love jenny
Thanks for sharing!!
Yes me too….I’d forgotten about some of these
In the 70s I wore Tabu and Loves Baby Soft. I was a kid then and loved those scents. Oh Exclamation as well.
Anais Anais is still my favourite scent. Got some for Christmas 🎄 as well as Eden. It's like Gucci Bloom but a fifth of the price!😆

Glenda Carpenter I wore the heck out ciara

I wish the Original Opium was still available
N&S have a look on eBay a just bought a mini opium edt vintage splash
Me too, it had a unique smell, that the modern version doesn't have 😥,
@@jamhuman2499 I'd be afraid of buying a fake
My 70 fav was Shalimar, opium, le de by Givenchy, y-axis, Charlie, babe faberge, youth dew and rive gauche
I’d love this series to return! Perfumes of the 60s and 50s would be great to hear about!
I was a teenager in the 70 so this is when I first got into perfume. I wore tabu, musk oil and sukina from lentharic
When you get to the 80s I hope you will review Paloma Picasso! For personal reasons it's one of my favorite female fragrances! Love the 70s review!
I was a teen in the 70’s and Loves Baby Soft was all the rage but I wore Tigress by Fabrege and Oscar.
Yay - 70’s! I wore Heaven Scent, then Charlie, then Chanel No. 5. I remember all those beautiful ads, too. Thanks, Sophie!
My mum loved Heaven Scent body spray
I love Charlie White. My late sister used to wear that scent.
I love how in your 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s vids you have appropriate wardrobe :D 10/10 Baby!
I still love the original ysl opium😍 not for every day, but it is so special ❤

How have I never sniffed Diorella?! Just added the Dior, Estée Lauder, and Cacheral to my try list.
Opium since 1979 in my collection. Private Collevtion! Love original Chañie. Yuk Anaia Anais yuk yuk
Absolutely love this❤❤❤
I was growing up seeing and smelling some of them from my grandma's wardrobe. Much regret that I threw them away. These bottles are so classic.
Wore avon , it was cheap back then, all I could afford
Eau Givree was my favourite Avon. Lovely green fragrance. 🥰

YSL OPIUM ! RIVE GAUCHE EXCELLENT TO WEAR TODAY 👌
My late grandma used Charlie. I need to buy one, to remember her.
I used white Charlie in the 90s but it was only sold on holidays
Love Opium and Rive Gauche.
I love the Rive Gauche bottle design. It's very iconic.

Hello can you just tell me a few more words about Ysl Rive Gauche?!
Anyone recalll one called something like 4am? Have never been able to re-find any mention. Loved Aqua Manda (late 60s early 70s), Hyplotique (with the black cat!), Musk oil and Ambergris oil (all time favourite).
I treated myself to Lair du temps (more expensive) and there was also the bargain Sea Jade.
Never liked Tweed, but do you remember Tramp! nd i see someone mentioned Panache!!
Opium is not exactly the same I just bought it but it's less beautiful as before they made all those more synthetic than before. Rive gauche also was great. Anais they say it is still same
I agree! My mother had the original one from 1977. The new ones are more like watered down flankers to me
@@yvespiderssmells9956 they do it on purpose so that we buy the new ones I think the old ones were unique
I remember my mom having Cinnabar, Wind Song. They would buy us Loves Baby Soft or Sweet Honesty lol
Great review. ❤
Could you do a review of Andron? I still love that scent for the summer months.
Wot, no Goya Aqua Manda ?
Goodmorning sokii!! My fav perfume vlogger
Thank You for this review ♥️
my fave was Parure by Guerlain
Diorella was my mom's choice back then... I wish I could find a bottle for her.
I put links to the where you can get them in the description:)
@@SokiLondon
Does anyone remember the perfume Blue Jean in the 70’s ?
oh iconic perfume of that era💝
I loved this video!
Thanks 😊
Hi Soki! Can you please do a comparison video between Prada Candy, Armani Si & Viva la Juicy & which is the best in your opinion? Thanks☺️
Hello! Candy is caramel, si is vanilla and juicy is fruity vanilla. They are all good for lasting. Personally I think Armani si is the most classy :)
Would it be possible to do an in-depth perfume reviews on Givenchy Perfume as there is not a lot of videos out there covering this
Sure on my list !
😮COTY WILD MUSK!!🌺
Back when it actually was something more than just colored water
Would SMELL Opium in the Stores & I about gaged eveyTime ! It NOT ONLY fill the whole ROOM but filled the whole STORE, haha.. I wore Jovan Musk & Charlie !!
Hi Soki. Can you review the Viktor and Rolf Magic range next.
Great video.

Talking of 70s perfumes, what about Rochas Femme?
What happened to the video on the 80’s ?
Coming soon
My mum loved opium but i hated it i just to love anais anais but went of it because it didnt smell the same
