When I think of ’90s beauty, a few things come to mind. Blue eyeshadow, dark lip liner and glittery nails are some of the standout trends that I always used to wear. However, as a fragrance-obsessed beauty editor, I often find myself thinking about the perfumes that I would reach for when growing up.

If I’m being totally honest, I’d wear an Impulse body spray most of the time, but on the rare occasion that my mum let me wear a more “grown up” fragrance, I definitely had my favourites (Clinique’s Happy was my go-to).

You might not know, but the ’90s was actually a pivotal time for fragrances. From Calvin Klein’s CK One (one of the first fragrances to be marketed as a unisex scent), to Thierry Mugler’s powerful Angel perfume, it’s clear that we were all getting a bit more experimental.
