It was a gift when I was still a little girl and it captivated me then. Even my mother wore it. I believe it has been discontinued for decades. I remember it as powerful and intoxicating, oriental, mysterious, but very rich. I think I miss it…
It was a gift when I was a child and I was so captivated that even my mother wore it. I believe it has been discontinued for decades. I remember it as powerful, intoxicating, oriental and mysterious, yet very rich. I think I miss it.
My first perfume; I was eight when my mother gifted it to me and it made me feel special. It was a rich, enveloping scent, a spiced oriental. Vintage and complex: it smells fruity but also floral, sweet without being overwhelming, nothing gourmand like the current ones. I wore it for a long time, but when I asked for it she no longer had it, so she gifted me Eternity by Calvin Klein. It was strong, potent, very woody and spiced. Very authentic and original, there is no other scent like it.
My first perfume; I was eight when my mother gave it to me. And it made me feel so special. It was such a rich and enveloping aroma. A spiced oriental. One of those complex vintage perfumes, because it smells fruity but also floral, and it’s sweet, but a sweet that doesn’t overwhelm; it wasn’t a gourmand sweet like those of nowadays. I used it for a long time, but when I asked my mother for it again, she couldn’t find it, and she later gifted me Eternity by C. K. It was a strong, potent, very woody and spiced perfume. Very authentic and original; there is no other scent like it.
It was the late eighties and you could distinguish and appreciate that every fashion and perfume house launched unique jewels. It wasn’t the same as a Poison, an Opium, an Anais Anais, a Paloma Picasso, and of course a Benetton (both the feminine and masculine). When it hit the shelves, you noticed it because you walked down the streets smelling it like a novelty different from what was smelled on the market until its launch. Just like the reviews by Azulia and Evaglo, it could be felt fruity above all, but floral, woody, and spiced in a complexity that didn’t tire or saturate. Benetton should reconsider launching both versions again as I think they would be a huge success. I don’t know if there is a current version in the brand (not the green and blue bottles) of these that are currently circulating. I miss it as much as the creativity that existed back then. Now everything that comes out is linear and uniform, synthetic and overly sweet.
An eighties fruity scent that plays with chypre aspects. Just as Tribu is born with a blackcurrin/tangerine note from the nineties, Colors begins by showing us a juicy pineapple with slight balsamic/animalic tones (which sometimes reminds me of Clandestine, but without the plum or honey). The eighties stamp of Colors is obvious, but it’s not a fragrance that tries to be dramatic or anything of the sort. Its herbal part is slightly pronounced with soft touches of moss, sage, and basil, which take a secondary plane beneath the fruity/floral part, but add character to the essence. It’s sweet, powdery, with a moderate trail that settles close to the skin and good longevity. I like it quite a bit, especially that opoponax note 🙂
One of the first perfumes in my collection was a gift from my dad, chosen by me. Now I’m surprised by it, as I was only twelve when he bought it for me. It’s a fragrance written in capital letters: a bombshell and an explosion of notes! Although I don’t like labelling perfumes by age because tastes break genres or age groups, I can say that in the nineties there were a different type of fragrances; let’s say each of us had a distinctive stamp with the perfume we wore. And so now, with the passage of time, if I say what a bomb I wore at twelve…!!! Those were other times where the trail and longevity performed their role dignifiedly!! And if we go on to label eras, I think nowadays they really fall short. A perfume I loved to wear in autumn-winter and preferably at night, and even if I dared to wear it during the day with two sprays so as not to suffocate anyone and enjoy it myself, it left me impregnated in my rebellious teenage memory. I’m surprised now by the great invasive perfumes I used in my adolescence. It will always have a place in my heart and mark that stage of my life with a great stamp. Eternal love.
One of the first fragrances in my collection, a gift from my dad that I chose myself. Now I’m surprised: I was twelve and it was an absolute bombshell in capital letters. Although I don’t judge by age, I do remember that in the nineties everyone had their own signature. Compared to today, I think they’ve gone down hill. I wore it in autumn and winter, in the evening, and if I dared to wear it in the day with two sprays so as not to suffocate, it lingered all over me. A rebellious teenage memory that will always have a place in my heart. Eternal love.
When I was in secondary school I smelled it on a teacher and it immediately bewitched me. I asked which one it was and started saving to buy it for myself. It was my secret treasure, I loved it; that different scent that I had never felt in any other perfume, sweet, oriental, indescribable, bewitched me. Now I think it is discontinued, but it would be a dream to find a lost vintage somewhere.
My parents bought it for me on a trip to Mallorca. I asked for it because of the brand, but I really fell in love with that scent; it was different from the teenage perfumes of the time. I was twelve back then, I would love to have it again and I will give the Aura by Mugler a sniff to see if it resembles it a little…

I am very lucky to have one with me. A girl had a family problem and sold it to me almost three years ago; I keep it with great affection in my collection. It was an icon when I was in secondary school back in the 80s. What does it smell like? Ambery with a touch of dusty roses, a sweetness of pineapple and sweet nardos that smell like grapes. A hint of woods, moss and patchouli. I smelled it again today after many years and it is beautiful. It is quite unisex; suddenly I feel that pineapple like a sweetish something, making it feel unisex. I saw here that people say it resembles Aura and has a certain patchouli note, but Aura is very green and more vanilla-based. They sort of resemble each other when you apply them… maybe a little. But as I see it, buy Aura and you will feel like you have Colors. No. Perhaps at some point they resemble each other around 30%, but afterwards each takes its own path. After a few hours they become similar again. The Colors with the sweetness of pineapple and the Aura with lots of vanilla and its green touch. But then again they take their own paths. Haha, I don’t think Aura can ever replace it because they are not even of the same style. The Colors is more ‘masculine’ and the Aura more vanilla-green. I think it is more in the style of Obsession, but I will check them out.
I have two minis of this fragrance, what a bomb! It is very similar to the Aura EDP, especially at the start. The Colors is creamier without losing its floral character, whereas the Aura has very green and citrus notes that make it more unisex. Comparing them side by side, they are incredibly similar but not identical. If you see this gem and want to remember scents now considered unisex, buy the Aura before it’s discontinued even further. In fact, in the dry down of the Green Colors, I feel it resembles the Aura EDP more than this one… I already want the Aura EDT, hehe.
It was my first designer perfume, a Christmas present when I was 17. I remember it with great nostalgia because people would ask what I was wearing, as it wasn’t common back then like the Ralph Turquoise or the Sky Blue were here in Argentina.
