The nineties were an era like no other. The decade saw the emergence of the supermodel, Alexander McQueen becoming the king of fashion, and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy securing her place in history as New York's coolest It-girl.
In an era where everything is digital and algorithmic slop churns out new "trends" by the second—we're feeling more nostalgic than ever. What better way to enter the proverbial time warp than to reminisce on the perfumes that marked the time? From Calvin Klein's iconic Eternity to Lâncome's Trésor, these are the '90s perfumes primed for a 2026 comeback.
French designer Thierry Mugler, defined the essence of the Angel eau de parfum better than anyone else: "I wanted to have such a sensual contact with this perfume, that you almost want to eat the person you love." In this refillable star-shaped bottle is a sweet and alluring liquid with notes of honey, apricot, plum, peach and jasmine along with sensual notes of patchouli, vanilla, caramel, tonka bean musk, amber, chocolate, and sandalwood—electrifyingly perfect for any party girl or mysterious woman.
In 1990, elegant women met their match in Lâncome's Trésor perfume. A crystal jewel with amber-colored juice and a delicate scent of rose petals, bergamot, peach, pineapple, plus hints of vanilla, apricot, musk, and sandalwood, this scent is classic and feminine.
The year that changed everything: 1993. Jean Paul Gaultier launched a perfume that was hard to overshadow, Classique. A crystal bottle inspired by the busts used by couturiers in sewing workshops. Gaultier, the enfant terrible of fashion, managed to create a provocative and sensual perfume with notes of orange blossom, gin and vanilla. Both the iconic bottle and the liquid it houses became instant classics.
Although this perfume was created in 1948, it reached peak popularity in the 1990s. The French firm launched this fragrance after World War II as an elixir of optimism, peace, love and freedom. Inside, it has notes of jasmine and roses and is considered to be the first spicy floral perfume in history. Although its name is L'Air du temps, this olfactory icon is timeless.
