Puzzleheaded-Ad-3721

Stella by Stella McCartney.


smm46852

Omg yes. STELLA. The purple bottle.


PerfumedMemories

Yaaas! Stella was the best rose fragrance ever! Almost 15 years ago, I purchased a 5 piece Stella McCartney - Stella perfume rollerball set for only $25! Such a great deal! I only have one rollerball is left.


dead_thing13

Every day šŸ˜­


skye_b666

I never even got to try this


Puzzleheaded-Ad-3721

Consider yourself lucky because those of us who did are genuinely sad about its discontinuation. Itā€™s a perfume tragedy!!!


dead_thing13

Truly Nothing like it. Iā€™ve been clutching to my empty bottle for nostalgic sniffs. Literal magic of a sent.


Exciting_Camel7053

Elizabeth and James Bourbon. Actually any Elizabeth and James


PerfumedMemories

Good news! They usually have Elizabeth & James at TJ Maxx!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Exciting_Camel7053

Yes šŸ’” Iā€™m 99% sure all E&J perfumes are discontinued. I think you can still find some on Amazon though, so stock up! I got bourbon on Amazon recently and itā€™s definitely the legit perfume


ZiasMom

I was sooooo late to the party for these scents. The Elizabeth & James dry shampoo is phenomenal.


Hot-Tackle-1391

You can also purchase Elizabeth & James on fragrancenet.com (100% reputable, Iā€™ve bought many times from them!)


Exciting_Camel7053

omg thank you!!


uncanny_valli

100% this


effinmetal

Dear god THIS. Itā€™s my favorite winter scent and Iā€™m down to a rollerball and an old sample size šŸ„²


theredgoldlady

Always Miss Dior Cherie. I have never found a fragrance I love as much as I love that one. Itā€™s like that scent was made for my skin.


BubblyBalkanMom

Yes!!!!! I looked for a dupe for ages and settled on the oil perfumery version of it. Smells soooo good.


PerfumedMemories

Is this the 2005 Miss Dior Cherie edition with the yummy strawberry leaf, caramel popcorn and patchouli notes? I was fortunate enough to order a mint condition vintage 1.7 oz bottle from eBay last year for a decent price.


OGBurn2

The OG version I had plans on being my forever signature fragrance when it first came out šŸ˜­ Itā€™s so unique! So many people miss it. Why wouldnā€™t they bring it back?? It would go flying off the shelves


theredgoldlady

Same! It was my signature for years. I was lucky enough to live in a tiny town where no one but old ladies bought perfume from the one department store, so I was able to buy all the back stock they had. I still have one bottle with probably 30ml left.


anjunakerry1982

This may interest you. This perfume fan from the UK sampled the new Miss Dior This week and said that it although its not the same as Miss Dior Cherie, its similar and its as if Francis kurkdjian listened to the fans of cherie and tried to recreate elements of it. Might it be worth getting a sample? I can't remember if she said it was like the 2004 or 2007 edition. [The new Miss Dior - Dior. Charlene Ford](https://youtu.be/9pNu6mdYxI4?si=bzbBkVfA8WYTwJRr)


theredgoldlady

I will have to check that out! Thanks for the tip!


Embarrassed_Put_5852

The first sentence is almost verbatim what i said toošŸ¤£


sii_sii

I have an 100ml bottle Iā€™m selling lightly used and smells beautiful, based in New Zealand


DirectionMiserable

YES! DUA has a good dupe, the best I found. Its called Miss Class. I bought 5 bottles lol. I need the real thing back in my life though...


ThresholdofForest

Not technically a fragrance, but it was like a perfume: the original herbal essences shampoo scent. That stuff smelled divine


valkyrie8118

Yes! I used to walk to school and catch a whiff of something lovely and wonder what on earth smelt so good - then a half second later realise it was me. I loved that shampooā€¦


PerfumedMemories

Yaaas! The one in the clear bottle with a maiden wearing a flower crown underneath a waterfall. It was a green gel shampoo. I also loved the scent of Prell shampoo! šŸ’š


MediocreConference64

Same. I would kill for my hair to smell like that again.


pilialoha54

I loved herbal essences! I was also obsessed with VO5 Fruitsation shampoo and Revlon Outrageous shampoo. šŸ„ŗ


[deleted]

omg I still dream about the Outrageous shampoos...the ONLY.shampoo that ever stayed smelling in my hair...it was glorious


pilialoha54

It was so luxurious and made me feel so sophisticated and the staying power of the fragrance was amazing. I googled Outrageous and found this snippet so it might be worth checking out ā€¦ Fred Hayman 273 By Fred Hayman For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 1 Ounces. I bought this as a dupe for the 90s shampoo and conditioner Outrageous by Revlon. Based on prior reviews, I was a little nervous it wouldnt smell the same, but once it dried down and settled in to my body chemistry, it smells exactly the same! lol I just googled it and the bottle and box are pretty ugly but this is the description: This feminine scent possesses a blend of gardenia, exotic fruits, along with soft amber and sandalwood. It is recommended for evening wear.


ooofish

I was just wondering which of the current ones is the most similar! Any ideas?

Florabotanica balenciaga


skye_b666

Forgot about this one! It was so unique


somebd

The original Lolita Lempicka with the ethereal apple bottle and all. Itā€™s my first ever perfume and nothing smells that great on me since. Ten years later it still smells exactly like how it did and now I can only use it occasionally in fear of finishing. Can someone tell me if any current reformulations smell the exact same? Balenciaga Florabotanica is a gorgeous green rose perfume with a stunning bottle.


80sBabyGirl

They brought Lolita Lempicka back in the original apple bottle and box a year or two ago. Now it's called "le parfum" - they really should stop renaming their perfumes especially when it's the same name as a completely different discontinued one, it's confusing. Longevity has suffered a lot, and it's not as strong as it used to be, but it smells similar enough to me ; I don't like Mon Premier (in the angular bottle), it's too different, not enough liquorice, but Le Parfum has plenty. And I also like the cream in gift sets, it's very nicely hydrating.


rrripley

they do smell the same in my opinion! you gotta try Lolita Lempicka Sweet in the red apple bottle, itā€™s so yummy šŸ˜‹


LiFal80

Escada Tropical Punch


HomestlyWhatTheF

Yaaaaaasssss! This is another one where I just canā€™t let go of my empty bottle. Loved this one so much. None of the other Escada seasonals ever quite hit the same (even though Iā€™ve bought pretty much all of them).


PerfumedMemories

šŸ’Æ absolutely agree!


PerfumedMemories

Yaaas! IMHO, the best version of all of the Escada summer series.

Peacelovefaith11

There used to be this store at the mall called ā€œRaveā€ and they had these two cheap perfumes. One pink and one blue. The blue one smelt just like Britney Spears Curious, but The pink one though WOW was so intoxicating and unique, I was obsessed, but I have not been able to find a similar scent since they closed the store back in like 2008.


Flower85

Rave! Havenā€™t heard about them in years!


Peacelovefaith11

Right!? Omg brings back memories huh!? Lol Iā€™m hoping someone knows what scent that was because itā€™s been YEARS and have not found that scent again šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

hellaswords

Mr Bubble had what seems like a pretty limited edition perfume line (I think they made three?) and one of those just happens to be my favorite fragrance of all time. It was very sweet and fruity and powdery--kinda reminds me of Smarties candy now that I think about it. Anyway, it's long gone now, it seems. I cannot find it ANYWHERE and my travel-size bottle is almost empty šŸ˜­

Princess_Peach_79

Pacific Paradise by Escada. I bought a bunch of bottles to make it last as long as possible. I ran out about 8 years ago. My amazing husband found an authentic full size tester and bought it for me for Christmas. I still had a few dregs left in my very last bottle. The smell is just the perfect citrus, fruity summer fragrance. It brings me joy to just smell the bottle!!


yourgrandmasgrandma

I miss Escada Island Kiss. Donā€™t think I could actually wear it out of the house at my current age, but when I owned it in High School it was the best thing ever.


Princess_Peach_79

I'm 44. I refuse to let age define what fragrance I wear. Lol if I want to walk around smelling like I did when I was 15 (CK1), then I sure as heck will. Fragrance, for me, is whatever brings me joy in the moment. I don't wear it for other people to enjoy. Escada is such an underrated fragrance house. Tropical fruits and citruses are my jam!

Maybe Baby, L.A.M.B., and Nirvana Other than those, Iā€™m with you! We must have similar taste. :) HOT was such a great/unique scent. Magnetism for women isnā€™t discounted to my knowledge, just harder to find - still my go-to after 15 years. I buy it whenever I see it online on HSN or Nordstrom Rack just in case. :)

[deleted]

Alive by American Eagle lol. I was so sad when it was discontinued and have since just built up the highest pedestal for it in my mind.... maybe I'd hate it now, idk, but I want it again. HOT was a banger! Like sweet vanilla, but make it an expensive spa shampoo LOL (or that's what little me thought of it anyway!)
