This is what 2009 smelled like:
As the early aughts continue to trend—we're literally a Fashion Nova drop away from the resurgence of the visible thong—and we creep closer to the start of a new decade, one can't help but feel nostalgic for the year that brought us Glee, Farmville, and Beyoncé's instantly iconic"Single Ladies." And while many things are fuzzy from that time , the scents we wore have a way of sticking in our memories.
Lindsay Hattrick, Designer As a NYLON- and Teen Vogue-obsessed 16-year-old, I thought the pinnacle of cool was Marc Jacobs. For years I had been saving the Juergen Teller-shot full-page ads and plastering them on my bedroom walls and school binders. While the clothes and bags were a distant dream to my teen self, Marc Jacob's Daisy was the key to becoming like the girls I saw in magazines.
Tembe Denton-Hurst, Beauty Editor In 2009, I was struggling through high school and wanted desperately to be able to afford DKNY Be Delicious, but my $20 a week allowance didn't allow for such finery. So when I wasn't able to spray myself with Sephora samples, I opted for Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegranate Body Mist, a fine fragrance mist with spicy, yet fruity notes like sparkling cassis and blackberry spice.
Now? I wouldn't touch this scent with a 10-foot pole. Besides the fact that I know how backwards Victoria's Secret is as a company, anything that smells too floral or fruity makes me want to gag, and I much prefer genderless scents as opposed to overly feminine or masculine ones—something that came as a result of growing up and coming out. My go-to is now the more sophisticated and much less cutesy Gamine Eau De Parfum, which I see as the perfect universal fragrance.
