Smitty

Moore: I bought this beautiful perfume while we were on a vacation in London in 1977, the year of the Queens silver jubilee. I love Great Britain, and London, and the music, on the radio Donna Summer was a hit with "I feel love"... My life was so very bright, I had a future to come, I think, all of that is gone now, but I remember we walked up Kings Road, it was so very exiting back than, this new punk rock ruled the world, and I bought my first blue nail-polish, yes, Smitty was my first ever proper perfume, my life has been a mess, a totally disaster, but, I'm nearly 58, and still alive, and "born to be alive", I think, about 2/3 of the worlds people still would have loved to be in my shoes .................... my thoughts about Smitty, the smell of it, makes me happy and very prosperious :D

Loved this!! And I see from the notes that it contained moss, which would explain it. Always was all about the chypre-style. I shall be stalking ebay for a bottle. Edit - I have my smitty again!! So happy. It's a full-on chypre all right. The moss is evident from the first spray, and it's very green too. Oh happy memories. This is what drugstore fragrance was like back in the day - in a word, classy. How times have changed.

Finally after 2 years on fragrantica, I have remembered the fragrance I wore in high school. While everyone else was wearing "Charlie", I wore this and loved it. It may have been the only drugstore scent I liked. I thought there was another one too but no other popular names from the time sound like the second frag.

I can remember very good this wonderfull fume.I was 18 Years old,end of the 1980. It was very fresh,crispy,flowers,white,clean flowers,very powdery,claen and longlasting. I loved it.I think,today it will be a little too craemy for me.But it once of my first perfumes ever,my first big love :)

This was my signature scent in 6th grade. I felt so sophisticated, I remember just LOVING the way it smellled. Funny, because all these years later I wouldn't choose this based on the notes. I would love to smell it again to see if I still like it.
