on my mom. It was beautiful on her.
I am not picky, just discerning.

Hi Fellow Perfume Lovers,
This is my first response, for some reason I never sign up for these things and I'm not sure why.
The first perfume I recall smelling was Estee Lauder's Youth Dew. The original (not the later version that misses the mark for me). I also recall Coty's L'Aimant and 4711. My grandmother on my Mother's side wore both of these but it was my mother who was the wearer of Youth Dew. I still love it. My grandmother on my father's side wore Chanel No 5.

And my mother owned a real sandalwood fan that had retained much of its scent throughout the years: I used to sniff at it curiously when I found it on her dressing table. I loved the aroma.

Wow, great classic taste on both sides of the family. Have you tried the Youth Dew bath oil? Apparently it's even more beautiful than the perfume.

This was the first perfume I ever smelled. It was my mom's, and she had it on her dresser. She let me smell it. I don't recall her ever wearing it, though. I liked it, though.

Worth Je Reviens.
But *certainly* not the current formulation!
It was in the 1960s. I was about 9 or 10 years old and I was at a school fete. There was a lucky dip - one for boys and one for girls.
I handed over my pennies and, with a great sigh of anticipation, dipped my hand into the big cardboard box.
Out came what seemed to be a tiny flat piece of card, wrapped in gift paper. It was so small. I felt my dip had been most unlucky.
But when I tore open the wrapping it was an entirely different story, for inside was a vial of something magical – blue perfume! It smelled divine, and even today I can close my eyes and sense that wonderful parfum.
When I showed my mother she fell in love with it too. It was decades later that I figured out what ‘Je Reviens’ meant, and I groan when I recall my clumsy pronunciation!

The Body Shop Strawberry Perfume Oil I put this one but actually, the first fragrance I owned was the Strawberry Shortcake one from the perfumed doll line... oh, such sweet and fond memories. I used to drag it everywhere with me! Good topic!

Bourjois Soir de Paris (Evening in Paris) My Mom always had a bottle of this on her dressing table. I saved the bottles, but they got lost in one of several moves. I'll have to find one for old times sake.

But the bottle was that tiny squared one. It was the first french perfume I I've ever smelled. It was in the 80's and I was a little girl. My friend's mom used to wear it and I was bewitched to that smell. I remember I wanted it so badly. It was very difficult to find imported perfum in Brazil, then. I remember my mom gave it to me as a birthday gift, and she bought it at a jewlry. There was only one jewlry in the city ( I lived in a very small town) and only there you could find the imported! It was like a dream coming true. I did not expect that!
But the first perfume ever I remember was made of sandalwood extrait. It was produced in my country but I don't remember the name, I only remember the bottle shape, it was like an arabian dream's bottle
As a brazilian, I think I know this sandalwood extrait: Tarot, from Natura. My aunt used it...

Re: The First Perfume You Ever Smelled
The first essence was "Seiva de Alfazema", in the early years of school here in Brazil. Many girls used that in the morning. It is a soft lavender eau de cologne and many girls used it in class. Good memories...
