You may not know this, but our sense of smell plays a huge role in triggering memories from our past. That’s why we’re often flooded with nostalgia if we smell a scent that was familiar to us from long ago.

If you were around in the 1980s, you probably remember that subtlety was the last thing that people were going for with their looks. Everything was about the extreme, from a person’s hairstyle to their perfume. Designers realized this and capitalized on the 80s over-the-top fashion trends by creating some of the boldest scents. On top of that, they held nothing back when it came to their perfume’s controversial names and uniquely outrageous ad campaigns.

People in the 1980s immediately fell in love with these perfumes. In fact, Andy Warhol loved an Estee Lauder perfume that he made sure a bottle of the perfume was buried with him!
