Colors de Benetton (1987)
by Benetton

LOUD fragrance. You could smell this from a mile away. Orange and jasmines dominate on me. As with everyone else here, it was also something I used in high school on rare ocasion. It was just so loud I had a hard time using it everyday as I would have liked to since it was so in at the time. But I couldn't. Imagine pouring a quart of hot sauce on all your food, for all of your meals---as much as you like hot sauce, you just can't have that much!

defines college era for me- the pineapple note is memorable and prominent- interesting and unique scent

Colors reminds me of high school as well - but I have to say that the newer bottles of Colors that are being sold DO NOT smell anything like the clear glass bottles that I owned way back when. I've read that it was re-launched in 1993 and they must have changed the formulation. When my last bottle ran out, I replaced it from two different perfumers and neither of them smelled anything like the one that I had that was empty. I ended up buying a vintage bottle on eBay. Only when I'd bought an old bottle did I find the warm wintry scent that I remember from way back when.

I am really not sure how this smells. I had such a bad introduction to it that I haven't cared to pursue the relationship past hello. A young girl, 19, who worked with me when this first came out wore it to work one day. She was delighted with it and presented her wrist for me to catch a sniff. I believe I actually staggered back. To me it smelled exactly like perspiration and onions, and the smell horrifyingly intensified during the day. I am not sure if it was my nose, her chemistry or the perfume itself. No one else seemed to have the same reaction to it that I did. It was so nauseating that I have steered clear of Benetton ever since.

How funny, I wandered to this page because I remembered liking it in High School, and looking at the reviews, I certainly wasn't the only one. Similarly, it's not something I'd wear these days..

Yeah, I wore this when I was a teenager. Could have been worse.
