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.

Wow, I did terrible. The only one I got right was the question about the wedding ring!
1Oh dear, I was terrible at this.
21/7!! Yesss! I know my Reagans
3i got the wedding ring one right too, only one! and i don't even know how i got that!
4Does this perfume smell good?
5I still have some Giorgio and I did horrible - 2 right. I was at the disco too much I guess.
6I did much better than I thought I would -- 5/7! Pretty much all were total guesses.
7I remember getting all giggly when the boys wore Drakkar...
8OOh, I remember Calyx! but I sucked at this quiz
9Kate Moss couldn't have been in the 1985 ad for Calvin Klein...she would have been like 11!
Oh wait, at 11, maybe she could be
10I sucked at this! Only 1 out of 7! I'm not much of a perfume wearer though, I have it and I love it, but I never wear it.
11I 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.
122/7 i did horrible and i don't remember the 80s too much because i was too young.
135/7 - I guessed on most of them! My dad still wears Obsession for Men from time to time.
14i can't belive there was no mention of Exclamation! perfume in this quiz...y'all remember that scent? Gawd, every high school girl for MILES smelled like that cologne spray....waaaaait, maybe that was early 90's...hmmmm....now I distinctly remember us all wearing Love's Baby Soft cologne spray in the later 80's..... idk, I was 11 in 1985
15I was bad, bad, bad too!
162/7 not bad for being a baby in the 80's!
17I did really bad on this one.
18I just read my comment , I was totaly 9. Whatta dork.And who luckily reads their comment first, having forgetten thta they even left one...sigh.
194/7 ... d@mn you, Nancy Reagan and Drakkar! haha
203/7 - I wasn't old enough to know any of that! lol
I just remember the cologne I wore in Elementary school was Canoe
21haha 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)...
22Now that was terribly embarrassingly bad!!!
