Last thing my best friend put on in the morning was a healthy spray of Exclamation, I'm sure my Ford Escort still smells like it |

Loved Exclamation and Tresor (by lancome). Interesting to know they are related fragrances.
Also, Colors by Benetton. Loved me some Drakkar Noir--my boyfriend wore that and then I updgraded him to Coolwater. Some guys also wore Polo by Ralph Lauren (green bottle.) |

| In my mind RainBath smells similar to my memory of Baby Soft. Am I glitching, or has anyone else noticed this? |

I'm a little younger than you , HS in late 90s but I totally had Love's baby soft and Benton colors!
The cosmetics and body products boom of the last 15 years kind of put the final bail in that coffin I think. You can get nice quality brands of fragrance at places like target for a lower price point (Pacifica etc) and essential oils are more accessible now, and body sprays or scented lotions that are more "clean" smelling are available anywhere. The higher end fragrance market survived but the cvs perfume aisle didn't |

| When my mother was in school, around the 80s, she had a favorite perfume. Over time, finding it in the shops of her city was difficult. Mom says this perfume was famous among teenage girls at the time. She even keeps the vial to this day, hoping to find them again someday. So when I was looking for a present for her for Christmas, I went to the decant store to buy myself a perfume. And among a large number of fragrances, I noticed something similar to my mother's bottle. So I bought them right away. Mom was pleased! She said that their scent reminds her of the same perfume from the 80s. So now she only uses them. |

Is this product/service/site as good as you described it? |

| My friend wore Charlie in high school, and I totally loved it. I probably still would! Not sure if they make it anymore. |

| Yes, I only wear cheap perfume lol. It's less overpowering. I usually just use Avon Haiku lotion in the tube on my hands and legs. If I really want more, will spray on the Haiku perfume. It's green original one. Not pink or extreme. It's very fresh smelling. Like a green/white scent. |

Exclamation was the best. So 80s.
Also: Avon’s Odyssey and the short-lived “Night Odyssey” All way better than my older sister’s Love’s Baby Soft. |
