What’s the Fragrance That Was Your Gateway Drug Into the World of Perfume?

What’s the fragrance that introduced you to the world of perfumes? That one single fragrance that was a gateway drug into your current perfume addiction? Do you ever remember what it was?

I can think of three and I bet at least one of mine is similar to what you’ll reply.

If I think back my first real fragrance was Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea. Ironically I can’t stand it now. It smells awful to me and cheap too (sorry if you love it!). But when I was like 16? It was all the awesome. There’s also Vitabath Raspberry which I like still have a bottle of somewhere because if nothing else at all I’m a fragrance hoarder. Vitabath still makes it but I remember when it was in a clear bottle and the liquid was a pretty pink. I haven’t tried it in many years, even though I still love me some Vitabath, and now I feel compelled to go buy a bottle and see how I’m feeling about it now and if it might be the same.

By I digress, I think the first fragrance that got me hooked on perfumes was Elizabeth Arden Sunflower followed by Clinique Happy and Ralph Lauren Ralph. I remember my mom purchased me my first bottle of Sunflower at Macys. I felt like an official adult. It’s a funny thing because my mom does not wear makeup nor is she into makeup at all but she loves fragrance! Although I question some of her favorites, Jean Tate and Charlie anyone? Wince!
