Family: Floral Oriental
While Rain Man was cleaning up at the Academy Awards, this fragrance was capturing the noses of women everywhere. If you wore this, try Trésor by Lancôme and these other recommendations.

This reminds us of standing in front of the mirror with a hairbrush, belting out "Dream Lover" by Mariah Carey.

ck ONE
Year Introduced: 1994

Were you rocking this while listening to the Ace of Base cassette tape? We saw "The Sign," and it opened up our eyes to this androgynous fragrance by Calvin Klein. If this one was your favorite, switch it out and try ck ONE Summer or these other substitutions.
