    If you ask me, perfume peaked in the \u201890s. So many groundbreaking, industry-shifting scents made their debut during that decade, essentially changing the fragrance game forever.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    While the scents of the \u201880s were big, bold, and bombastic, the \u201890s ushered in a more minimal direction for fragrance. Perfumes were lighter, brighter, crisper, and more simplistic, befitting the slip dresses, khaki pants, and flip flops of the time period.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    No one symbolizes that \u201890s minimalist magic like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who has long been a beauty and fashion icon\u2014but never more so than today! If you\u2019ve found yourself mimicking her butter blonde hair color, simple but elegant wardrobe, C.O. Bigelow headbands, and overall effortlessly cool vibe, why not take your ode to CBK to the next level with a fragrance to match? Many of the best \u201890s (and \u201890s-adjacent) scents are still widely available today so you can channel the decade with just a spritz or two.\n<\/p>\n

    From scents that would be right at home in CBK\u2019s black Herm\u00e8s Birkin to icons like L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey and Clinique Happy, these timeless fragrances are so \u201890s in the best way.<\/p>\n

    The CBK-Inspired One: Egyptian Musk Oil <\/span><\/h2>\n

    Bessette Kennedy reportedly wore Abdul Kareem\u2019s Egyptian Musk Oil, which is hard to find these days; I scored a bottle on eBay last year. It\u2019s a gorgeous, radiant musk that manages to stay close to the skin but leave a silky trail. Another great option is Nemat\u2019s Egyptian Musk, which has a clean, soapy finish.\n<\/p>\n

    The Super-Musky One: Kiehl’s Original Musk <\/span><\/h2>\n

    For something cozier and richer, try Kiehl\u2019s Original Musk. Technically <\/em>this scent didn\u2019t come out in the \u201890s, but its simple scent profile of bergamot, ylang ylang, and musk feels on-brand for the time, especially if you want to mimic CBK\u2019s eternal allure. The amber-colored square bottle is eternally chic, as is the scent itself.\n<\/p>\n

    $106 at Nordstrom<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This scent came out in 2003, but we\u2019re counting it because the backstory is super relevant! CBK and fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez were good friends; they met while working at Calvin Klein and he designed her beyond-iconic wedding dress. His first fragrance, the shimmering woody musk For Her, is reminiscent of that buttery, silky slip dress, with come-hither notes of orange blossom, musk, and amber. There are tons of flankers, but I think the original is the most gorgeous.<\/p>\n

    The Mall Staple: Gap Dream <\/span><\/h2>\n

    GAP<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Were you really a \u201890s girl if you didn\u2019t own a few Gap perfumes? Gap dominated the \u201890s fashion world with its timeless denim jackets, khakis, and too-cool commercials, and its fragrances were definitely part of that world. Grass, Heaven, and Dream are all \u201890s classics, though there\u2019s something special about the white floral Dream that makes it feel so instantly transportive; one sniff and you\u2019re back in 1998. Because it\u2019s an eau de toilette, it literally feels like a dream floating around you. Gap Dream is still available, but you have to get it in person at a Gap Outlet store for now!\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    The Crisp Citrus: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    Elizabeth Arden\u2019s cheap and cheerful Green Tea is easily underestimated, but once you\u2019ve worn it, you\u2019ll know how special it is. Crisp, light, and refreshing without trying too hard, this sweet, green eau de toilette was a minimalist\u2019s mainstay in the \u201890s.\n<\/p>\n

    The Calming Spritz: \u00a0Bulgari Au Th\u00e9 Vert <\/span><\/h2>\n

    $164 at Nordstrom<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Another incredible green-tea scent, Bulgari\u2019s Au Th\u00e9 Vert is a lovely citrus fragrance that hit shelves in 1992. Its sparkling top notes give way to a calming blend of floral notes and grounding woods, like a spa day in a bottle. Au Th\u00e9 Vert is an elevated example of the fresh, citrusy scents that were popular in the \u201890s but doesn\u2019t feel (or smell) dated.\n<\/p>\n

    The Soft, Warm Hug: Donna Karan Cashmere Mist <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    $135 at Sephora<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Cashmere Mist, to me, just smells like the \u201890s: soft, powdery, simple but impactful. Maybe it\u2019s because my mom wore it for a time, or because I wear the Cashmere Mist Deodorant every day (and have for well over a decade), but there\u2019s something so gentle and comforting about it. With notes of lily of the valley, suede, and cashmere musk, it feels like stepping into an ivory silk slip dress and tossing an oversized cashmere sweater over the top\u2014feminine and effortlessly chic.\n<\/p>\n

    The ’90s Icon: L’Eau de Issey <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n

    $112 at Nordstrom<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The bottle alone is sooooo <\/em>\u201890s, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s sleek, modern, and minimal, and the aquatic, light floral scent inside was a groundbreaking addition to the \u201890s fragrance market, shaking things up in a big way. Prior to its introduction, many popular scents were loud, heavy, and over the top, like Thierry Mugler Angel. L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey was much quieter, lighter, and fresher, kickstarting a trend that would carry through the decade.\n<\/p>\n

    The Revolutionary Citrus: CK One <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"CK\"CK<\/div>\n<\/div>

    $96 at Calvinklein.us<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    We can\u2019t talk about iconic \u201890s scents without mentioning CK One. Even if you don\u2019t own a bottle, you\u2019ve smelled it hundreds of times without even noticing it, or worn a fragrance inspired by it. Like L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey, this unisex citrus threw the fragrance industry for a loop; its black-and-white ad campaign from 1994, featuring models Kate Moss, Jenny Shimizu, and Stella Tennant, among others, was instantly captivating. CK One wasn\u2019t marketed just to men or just to women\u2014it was for everyone, and everyone bought it. And the best part? It still smells great today.\n<\/p>\n

    The Cheerful Cutie: Clinique Happy <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n

    I was deeply obsessed with Clinique Happy as a child and coveted a bottle more than anything. I never got one, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for this lighthearted fruity floral with notes of citrus, freesia, musk, and amber. One spritz really does make you feel happy, and brings up the most nostalgic feelings.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    C.O. Bigelow Musk Perfume Oil <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    \n

    If you’re already out and about on a headband shopping trip, why not pick up another musk? This concentrated fragrance oil from famed drugstore C.O. Bigelow is warm, hearty, and light but long-lasting. It’s also made for layering, if you feel like adding a little CBK-esque sensuality to your already-established signature scent.<\/p>\n

    The Body Shop White Musk <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n

    Another ’90s classic, The Body Shop’s White Musk is described as “soft, sensual, and delicately floral\u2014perfect for everyday wear or a little evening indulgence.” This set comes with the body mist and <\/em>a shower gel, so its muskiness will linger even longer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CBK and fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez were good friends; they met while working at Calvin Klein and he designed her beyond-iconic wedding dress. His first fragrance, the shimmering woody musk For Her, is reminiscent of that buttery, silky slip dress, with come-hither notes of orange blossom, musk, and amber. There are tons of flankers, but I think the original is the most gorgeous.<\/p>\n

            Were you really a \u201890s girl if you didn\u2019t own a few Gap perfumes? Gap dominated the \u201890s fashion world with its timeless denim jackets, khakis, and too-cool commercials, and its fragrances were definitely part of that world. Grass, Heaven, and Dream are all \u201890s classics, though there\u2019s something special about the white floral Dream that makes it feel so instantly transportive; one sniff and you\u2019re back in 1998. Because it\u2019s an eau de toilette, it literally feels like a dream floating around you. Gap Dream is still available, but you have to get it in person at a Gap Outlet store for now!\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

              If you ask me, perfume peaked in the \u201890s. So many groundbreaking, industry-shifting scents made their debut during that decade, essentially changing the fragrance game forever.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

              While the scents of the \u201880s were big, bold, and bombastic, the \u201890s ushered in a more minimal direction for fragrance. Perfumes were lighter, brighter, crisper, and more simplistic, befitting the slip dresses, khaki pants, and flip flops of the time period.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

              No one symbolizes that \u201890s minimalist magic like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who has long been a beauty and fashion icon\u2014but never more so than today! If you\u2019ve found yourself mimicking her butter blonde hair color, simple but elegant wardrobe, C.O. Bigelow headbands, and overall effortlessly cool vibe, why not take your ode to CBK to the next level with a fragrance to match? Many of the best \u201890s (and \u201890s-adjacent) scents are still widely available today so you can channel the decade with just a spritz or two.\n<\/p>\n

              From scents that would be right at home in CBK\u2019s black Herm\u00e8s Birkin to icons like L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey and Clinique Happy, these timeless fragrances are so \u201890s in the best way.<\/p>\n

              Another ’90s classic, The Body Shop’s White Musk is described as “soft, sensual, and delicately floral\u2014perfect for everyday wear or a little evening indulgence.” This set comes with the body mist and <\/em>a shower gel, so its muskiness will linger even longer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              \n

              If you ask me, perfume peaked in the \u201890s. So many groundbreaking, industry-shifting scents made their debut during that decade, essentially changing the fragrance game forever.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

              While the scents of the \u201880s were big, bold, and bombastic, the \u201890s ushered in a more minimal direction for fragrance. Perfumes were lighter, brighter, crisper, and more simplistic, befitting the slip dresses, khaki pants, and flip flops of the time period.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

              No one symbolizes that \u201890s minimalist magic like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who has long been a beauty and fashion icon\u2014but never more so than today! If you\u2019ve found yourself mimicking her butter blonde hair color, simple but elegant wardrobe, C.O. Bigelow headbands, and overall effortlessly cool vibe, why not take your ode to CBK to the next level with a fragrance to match? Many of the best \u201890s (and \u201890s-adjacent) scents are still widely available today so you can channel the decade with just a spritz or two.\n<\/p>\n

              From scents that would be right at home in CBK\u2019s black Herm\u00e8s Birkin to icons like L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey and Clinique Happy, these timeless fragrances are so \u201890s in the best way.<\/p>\n

              Bessette Kennedy reportedly wore Abdul Kareem\u2019s Egyptian Musk Oil, which is hard to find these days; I scored a bottle on eBay last year. It\u2019s a gorgeous, radiant musk that manages to stay close to the skin but leave a silky trail. Another great option is Nemat\u2019s Egyptian Musk, which has a clean, soapy finish.\n<\/p>\n

              For something cozier and richer, try Kiehl\u2019s Original Musk. Technically <\/em>this scent didn\u2019t come out in the \u201890s, but its simple scent profile of bergamot, ylang ylang, and musk feels on-brand for the time, especially if you want to mimic CBK\u2019s eternal allure. The amber-colored square bottle is eternally chic, as is the scent itself.\n<\/p>\n

              This scent came out in 2003, but we\u2019re counting it because the backstory is super relevant! CBK and fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez were good friends; they met while working at Calvin Klein and he designed her beyond-iconic wedding dress. His first fragrance, the shimmering woody musk For Her, is reminiscent of that buttery, silky slip dress, with come-hither notes of orange blossom, musk, and amber. There are tons of flankers, but I think the original is the most gorgeous.<\/p>\n

              Were you really a \u201890s girl if you didn\u2019t own a few Gap perfumes? Gap dominated the \u201890s fashion world with its timeless denim jackets, khakis, and too-cool commercials, and its fragrances were definitely part of that world. Grass, Heaven, and Dream are all \u201890s classics, though there\u2019s something special about the white floral Dream that makes it feel so instantly transportive; one sniff and you\u2019re back in 1998. Because it\u2019s an eau de toilette, it literally feels like a dream floating around you. Gap Dream is still available, but you have to get it in person at a Gap Outlet store for now!\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

              Elizabeth Arden\u2019s cheap and cheerful Green Tea is easily underestimated, but once you\u2019ve worn it, you\u2019ll know how special it is. Crisp, light, and refreshing without trying too hard, this sweet, green eau de toilette was a minimalist\u2019s mainstay in the \u201890s.\n<\/p>\n

              Another incredible green-tea scent, Bulgari\u2019s Au Th\u00e9 Vert is a lovely citrus fragrance that hit shelves in 1992. Its sparkling top notes give way to a calming blend of floral notes and grounding woods, like a spa day in a bottle. Au Th\u00e9 Vert is an elevated example of the fresh, citrusy scents that were popular in the \u201890s but doesn\u2019t feel (or smell) dated.\n<\/p>\n

              Cashmere Mist, to me, just smells like the \u201890s: soft, powdery, simple but impactful. Maybe it\u2019s because my mom wore it for a time, or because I wear the Cashmere Mist Deodorant every day (and have for well over a decade), but there\u2019s something so gentle and comforting about it. With notes of lily of the valley, suede, and cashmere musk, it feels like stepping into an ivory silk slip dress and tossing an oversized cashmere sweater over the top\u2014feminine and effortlessly chic.\n<\/p>\n

              The bottle alone is sooooo <\/em>\u201890s, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s sleek, modern, and minimal, and the aquatic, light floral scent inside was a groundbreaking addition to the \u201890s fragrance market, shaking things up in a big way. Prior to its introduction, many popular scents were loud, heavy, and over the top, like Thierry Mugler Angel. L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey was much quieter, lighter, and fresher, kickstarting a trend that would carry through the decade.\n<\/p>\n

              We can\u2019t talk about iconic \u201890s scents without mentioning CK One. Even if you don\u2019t own a bottle, you\u2019ve smelled it hundreds of times without even noticing it, or worn a fragrance inspired by it. Like L\u2019Eau d\u2019Issey, this unisex citrus threw the fragrance industry for a loop; its black-and-white ad campaign from 1994, featuring models Kate Moss, Jenny Shimizu, and Stella Tennant, among others, was instantly captivating. CK One wasn\u2019t marketed just to men or just to women\u2014it was for everyone, and everyone bought it. And the best part? It still smells great today.\n<\/p>\n

              I was deeply obsessed with Clinique Happy as a child and coveted a bottle more than anything. I never got one, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for this lighthearted fruity floral with notes of citrus, freesia, musk, and amber. One spritz really does make you feel happy, and brings up the most nostalgic feelings.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
