Oh god, the perfumes. Obsession. Poison. What else?

Those were the heavy hitters for the decade. Samsara came out in 89, but it was really an afterthought. Giorgio. That was probably the first of the Killer 80s Florientals.

I reread Erica Jong’s Parachutes and Kisses a while back, and oh, wow, it is so terribly 80s. The character wears suede boots, and fuschia, and off-the-shoulder sweaters, and every time she has a sexual encounter, which, being as it’s Erica Jong, is often, she spritzes herself with Obsession.

I am so glad I was too young to really get the full brunt of 80s fashion.
