So many groundbreaking, industry-shifting scents made their debut during that decade, essentially changing the fragrance game forever.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The CBK-Inspired One: Egyptian Musk Oil <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Nemat Egyptian Musk perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_1-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/kMm-DPTPy6wJ5jh7l040F67Lqwk=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/nemategyptianmusk-a5f672fc5abb4d72b03974c7e0cf64a9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/kMm-DPTPy6wJ5jh7l040F67Lqwk=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/nemategyptianmusk-a5f672fc5abb4d72b03974c7e0cf64a9.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Nemat Egyptian Musk perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Nemat<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_1-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$21 at Ulta<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Super-Musky One: Kiehl&#8217;s Original Musk <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Kiehl's Original Musk perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_2-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/8j5gY9k4IPp2imcyxIqYJXXgTK4=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/keihlsoriginalmusj-c48444d23d8545e093be014fa785a04f.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/8j5gY9k4IPp2imcyxIqYJXXgTK4=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/keihlsoriginalmusj-c48444d23d8545e093be014fa785a04f.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Kiehl's Original Musk perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Kiehl&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_2-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$50 at Kiehls.com<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For something cozier and richer, try Kiehl\u2019s Original Musk. <em>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.

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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Mall Staple: Gap Dream <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>GAP<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Crisp Citrus: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Elizabeth Arden Green Tea\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_5-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/V_HBjwLHkAMxndclYbZ251avFz0=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/elizabethardengreente-3722b9250ead47028c30597352ecd50d.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/V_HBjwLHkAMxndclYbZ251avFz0=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/elizabethardengreente-3722b9250ead47028c30597352ecd50d.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Elizabeth Arden Green Tea\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Arden<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_4-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$40 at Elizabetharden.com<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Elizabeth Arden\u2019s cheap and cheerful Green Tea is easily underestimated, but once you\u2019ve worn it, you\u2019ll know how special it is.

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.

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.

So many groundbreaking, industry-shifting scents made their debut during that decade, essentially changing the fragrance game forever.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The CBK-Inspired One: Egyptian Musk Oil <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Nemat Egyptian Musk perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_1-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/kMm-DPTPy6wJ5jh7l040F67Lqwk=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/nemategyptianmusk-a5f672fc5abb4d72b03974c7e0cf64a9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/kMm-DPTPy6wJ5jh7l040F67Lqwk=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/nemategyptianmusk-a5f672fc5abb4d72b03974c7e0cf64a9.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Nemat Egyptian Musk perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Nemat<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_1-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$21 at Ulta<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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.

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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Mall Staple: Gap Dream <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>GAP<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Crisp Citrus: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Elizabeth Arden Green Tea\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_5-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/V_HBjwLHkAMxndclYbZ251avFz0=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/elizabethardengreente-3722b9250ead47028c30597352ecd50d.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/V_HBjwLHkAMxndclYbZ251avFz0=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/elizabethardengreente-3722b9250ead47028c30597352ecd50d.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Elizabeth Arden Green Tea\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Arden<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_4-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$40 at Elizabetharden.com<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Elizabeth Arden\u2019s cheap and cheerful Green Tea is easily underestimated, but once you\u2019ve worn it, you\u2019ll know how special it is.

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?

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?

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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Mall Staple: Gap Dream <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>GAP<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Crisp Citrus: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Elizabeth Arden Green Tea\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_5-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/V_HBjwLHkAMxndclYbZ251avFz0=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/elizabethardengreente-3722b9250ead47028c30597352ecd50d.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/V_HBjwLHkAMxndclYbZ251avFz0=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/elizabethardengreente-3722b9250ead47028c30597352ecd50d.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Elizabeth Arden Green Tea\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Arden<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_4-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$40 at Elizabetharden.com<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Elizabeth Arden\u2019s cheap and cheerful Green Tea is easily underestimated, but once you\u2019ve worn it, you\u2019ll know how special it is.

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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_61-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Cheerful Cutie: Clinique Happy <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_62-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Clinique Happy perfume bottle\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_10-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HaQGKpTC7Frmq2PtT3VvTHNdJlA=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/cliniquehappt-9164585c81b14c3d9ae003d6fbfe8246.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HaQGKpTC7Frmq2PtT3VvTHNdJlA=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/cliniquehappt-9164585c81b14c3d9ae003d6fbfe8246.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Clinique Happy perfume bottle\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Clinique<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_63-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_9-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$85 at Clinique.com<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_65-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> I was deeply obsessed with Clinique Happy as a child and coveted a bottle more than anything.

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<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The CBK-Inspired One: Egyptian Musk Oil <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Nemat Egyptian Musk perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_1-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/kMm-DPTPy6wJ5jh7l040F67Lqwk=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/nemategyptianmusk-a5f672fc5abb4d72b03974c7e0cf64a9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/kMm-DPTPy6wJ5jh7l040F67Lqwk=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/nemategyptianmusk-a5f672fc5abb4d72b03974c7e0cf64a9.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Nemat Egyptian Musk perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Nemat<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mm-trx-sc-block-commerce mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"false\" data-use-child-url=\".trx-sc-block-commerce__button\">\n<div id=\"mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce_1-0\" class=\"comp mm-trx-commerce-button-list--commerce mm-trx-commerce-button-list-block mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\"><span class=\"button-cta\">$21 at Ulta<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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.

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<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Mall Staple: Gap Dream <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5cSNMJGpONG79knIYYmtWtm7mpQ=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/gapdream-8d9d943caf5d4a50a2d28c11657dc6cc.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Gap Dream perfume\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>GAP<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> 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.

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.
