Day 95 #100DaysOfOldDays
In the 80’s I couldn’t afford to buy expensive perfume, but I could afford Impulse body spray!
We all owned one or two cans of it. And when a new fragrance came out, we’d have to buy it immediately.
They smelled fantastic, they were handy and completely affordable. The only problem was, they didn’t last very long because we used to douse ourselves in it.
Impulse wasn’t just for wearing on a night out, it was for every day. School, Mass, walking round town. Every day was Impulse day!
The earliest ones we had were Always Alluring, Delightfully Daring, Instantly Innocent, Mysterious Musk, Possible Playful, and Suddenly Sassy. In 1986, three new scents came out; Elation, Electric Musk, and Temptation.
“When a man you’ve never met before suddenly gives you flowers, that’s impulse!”
Did you get those flowers? Well, I didn’t!
Impulse is still on the go, but some of the original fragrances from the 80’s are no longer available.
Can anyone name these three originals? My favourite was the pink one! Was it called Gypsy?
Was the gold one called Hint of Musk or Mysterious Musk? And the black one was something exotic…?
Look at how much Walmart was selling Always Alluring for. No longer available – so someone has more money than sense!

I don’t recall Impulse but we used to buy an inexpensive perfume called Evening in Paris. It came in a dark blue bottle and looked, sounded and smelled alluring. Or at least we thought so.
It probably did Darlene! The name itself sounds wonderful. 😃
My sister likes to hold on to all her really old stuff, and she still has a bottle of this stuff 😂. I wonder what scent it is 🤔. I have to ask her.
Please do! Surely she doesn’t have one from the 80’s? 😆
OMG………
Impulse………..😂
