#FlashbackFriday: The First Fragrances FLARE Editors Wore

"My first fragrance (besides one that came with my Barbies in a little plastic vial) was Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden when I was 10 or 11. I loved everything about it: the packaging (like every '90s girl I was v. into sunflowers as a motif), the crisp, oh-so-summery lemon-bergamot scent (if I smell it now it takes me right back to suburban summers spent languishing on a swing set with my BFF, running our toes through the grass and scheming ways to get invited to our neighbour’s pool) and the fact that it made me feel like such a grown-up lady to have that bottle sitting on my dressing table. I’d use it so sparingly, because I never wanted it to run out." —Charlotte Herrold, digital editor
