Every Halloween/costume opportunity called for "professional" body glitter like this, which always smelled vaguely of alcohol. Maybe with a hint of glue.

Basically, it turns out Eau de Plastique is the scent of the '90s.

21. Gap Dream

Although there's also a strong argument to be made for Gap's fragrances. Dream 4 lyfe.
