Goodtimes in the 1970s!
I decided to complete my 1970s exploration with Babe. This is a catapult ride back to ABBA on AM radio. The teenage wasteland at the end of the decade smelled beautiful and Babe was definitive of the era.
Babe, Halston, Loves' Baby Soft, Smitty and Calvin Klein was what the 16 to 21 year old females sported to dates, high school dances, roller rinks and the mall to check out the latest fashion. I was caught up in this world as family and friends wore these mostly forgotten classics.
Babe was in a class by itself. From its pop art logo (Pepsi and Coca Cola) to its unforgettable formula that took it to dazzling levels. My mother had a bottle and my father gave her the nickname "Babe". She was 50 in 1978, so it appealed to a large audience, including my teenage cousins. Oh yes, our back yard had a lake and we used the giant inner tubes to float around in that summer of Babe.
I have an original formula from the 1970s. Not a note had gone off! Big aldehydes and raspberry is the first thing I noticed. It is powdery with white florals, rose, iris and musk that is generally hard for me to pick out. Oh, it has lots of oakmoss/vetiver that frames production! It should be sickly sweet syrup from the notes. Its surprisingly dry and sophisticated. I cannot believe the quality of its composition. You could easily get a bottle at your local pharmacy for $3.
Feathered hair, blue eyeshadow and always wet lip gloss went well with this. I also think of Olivia Newton John in Xanadu on roller skates. It's like having iridescent rainbows released on every spray! It you wear it today you will get attention. It's not old fashioned or dated. It's a lost classic that the perfume world will never see again in this formula.
