A Wonderful Lost Drugstore Classic
Trouble was a nice, spicy fougère, much better than its popular contemporary, Hai Karate, and on par with the much more famous Brut. Trouble had a peppery, green scent which was a bit edgy at the time, and matched the bright green juice color and the humorous advertising theme very nicely. The scent was less minty and cool than similarly priced offerings, and thus had the feel of a really good cologne, at a slightly inflated drugstore aftershave price. The splash flacon was clear glass - it had a wide oval base, which drew down to a wide circle at the top, with a large, flat, circular, silver screw cap. This juice was very, very good for a cheaper offering, and I always regretted that it didn't last on the market. My teenage friends used to love to borrow it from me before our double dates. In some ways, Ralph Lauren Polo carried on the spicy green genre, and filled that hole in my wardrobe. I believe that the name was singular, not plural, but it is very difficult to find any information about this fragrance, and it is often confused with similarly named fragrances marketed to both men and women.
