1980s Fragrance

How Well Do You Know Your 80s Perfume?

October 3, 2008

The 1980s were all about sex, money and power, and the decade's fragrances reflect that. Ads that pushed the envelope, like the 1985 ads for Calvin Klein's Obsession, reinforced that whether you were wearing Stetson or Calyx spoke volumes about you. Take this quiz to see how well your sense of smell survived the 80s.

haha jacrabbit84 - I got the same one right - Nancy Reagan (and Ronnie, of course) is one of my heroes (I also got the wedding ring - educated guess)...

I don't mean to be rude, but if you're going to be a professional writer, at least do some basic fact-checking and get your decades straight! The Obsession ad with Kate Moss happened in the 90's, not 1985. Kate wasn't even discovered until 1988 and she didn't sign with Calvin Klein until 1993.
