60's - Tabu, White Tea Jasmine (using scent more in lotions and bath powders these days)
I'm sure you can see a pattern there! Sadly, my favorite Tabu is no longer what it was, it's lost a lot in the intervening years (as have many of the classics).
The above is the best I can remember. There were several others that I experimented with through the years, but those were the ones that stayed in my mind.

These are scents I wear with regularity. I actually collect scents and have more than I will EVER need for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I can't wear them to work anymore (everybody else had to change because of ONE person), so I try not to buy more.
They have changed the formula (although perfume sellers disagree) and it no longer lasts and it smells different. I have gotten the "maybe your body chemistry has changed" excuse, but my family has also noticed that it smells different in the bottle and when sprayed on paper.
No, it hasn't changed. What has changed is your sense of smell.
I've worked with Clinique on and off through the years and they have not changed that recipe.

Interesting to see how some perfumes are true mainstays. I didn't think I'd remember mine but I think I've come up with everything, actually, lol!
In my teens, in the 80s:
Sweet Honesty was the very first "real perfume" I remember wearing (as a kid I remember wearing rose water perfume for little girls)
Santa Fe cologne (for men - I liked the woodsy smell of it)
Odyssey (Avon)
Love's Baby Soft
Chanel no. 5 (only on special occasions, borrowed from mom)
Georgio Red (I felt very grown up wearing this!)
Samsara (the first perfume I picked out all by myself)
Le Jardin
Navy (I wore this but didn't really like it)
In my 20s in the 90s, I stopped wearing perfumes due to allergies and went with:
Bath & Body works Country Apple (boys loved this!)
B&BW Plumeria
B&BW Cucumber Melon
Patchouli and other natural oils (these were the grunge years, after all)
Since the 2000s I haven't worn any scents, but lately I've discovered this website, Fragrantica, that lets you read reviews about almost every perfume and search for perfumes based on various properties, which has made me want to try wearing something again!
A special blend a friend has made for me for years and I have no idea what is in it but I have not worn it or any other fragrance for years.
No scented shampoo, soap, lotion, conditioner or toothpaste either.
