I’m curious: what discontinued fragrances do you miss most, and what era were they from?

Please share the name of the fragrance and its original launch date, if known. You may choose up to five scents from the same decade range. If you like, I’d also love to know what made each one so memorable—and whether you have found anything that comes close to replacing it. You don't HAVE to have a fragrance listed for each decade, this is just for fun.
