Please help me remember this 90s perfume!

It's driving me mad that I can't find any trace of it on the internet.

I think it was called Forever, although I'm starting to doubt myself on that. It was what I call a chemist perfume (cheap!), possibly by Coty. I think it was in a purple box and bottle, the bottle had a sort of arch-shaped lid I think. It was around at the same time as Exclamation and Tribe, but can't have been as popular.

I just need confirmation of its existence.

Exclamation - now there's a blast from the past.

Is this the one you're looking for - dark vanilla?

Oh my goodness I loved tribe! Serious blast from the past! I can vaguely recall the one you're talking about though

No, not that one. I've been Googling like a mad thing and must have looked at every perfume bottle ever produced, but can't find any trace of it. It existed, it was fairly widely available, it just hasn't been recorded anywhere.

What sort of smell? Flowery? Musky? Spicy? Lemony?

I loved Le Jardin & Le Jardin D'Amour

I had a set of little sampler bottles from Boots one Xmas - felt so grown up.

Poison was in a purple bottle but that was pricey.
Vanderbilt was one of my favourites - that's in a lilac box....

I may have to ask a passing Santa if I can have some Vanderbilt.

I'm pretty certain they sell Tribe in my local HoF outlet. I'm certain I've seen it in there among many other things I don't recognise

Everyone I knew had white musk from the body shop.

My mum used to wear Lou Lou, VerySmallSqueak. For that reason, I love the way it smells. She seemed very glamorous to me when I was wee! There's a pair of black 'silk' nylon pyjamas still lurking somewhere in parents' house with Lou Lou embroidered on them - DM got them free with the perfume! Grin
