Mitsouko Eau de Parfum My mother wore this (an earlyer version ofcourse) from time to time and it smelled so beautyful on her! I own this version (which is wonderful) and it brings back dear memories immidiately!
I ofcourse know Echt Kölnisch Wasser Eau de Cologne too, but unfortunately I associate this with illness and migraines because my mother would dab it on my forhead when I had a fever or a headache...
If you like the Kölnisch Wasser and want some longevity and sillage out of it, you could try Eau de Rochas L'Essentiel It reminded me a lot of the Kölnisch Wasser (which is why I don't like it) but with good performance (which 4711 obviously lacks). It's marketed towards women, I think, but I find it rather masculine actually.
Oh forgot: My singnature L'Air du Temps Eau de Parfum is ofcourse very nostalgic! It was created after WO II to illustrate feelings of hope. But I don't know this from anyone I knew as a kid strangely enough...I first smelled it on a guy I was in love with !!! Picture that My love for this scent has got nothing to do with that memory however, I just love, love, love, love the scent and would have loved it also if I had never smelled it before. But it certainly can make one nostalgic.
