When I was sixteen, we hosted a Swedish exchange student for a year. She arrived bearing gifts, and one of them was a bottle of a perfume called Dots. She translated the slogan for me: "Very French. Very Swedish."

I don't really remember what it smelled like, except that a while later I bought some UII Sheer Scent because it seemed a bit similar, and then some time later I bought a bottle of Fresh Life because it reminded me a little bit of Sheer Scent. Which probably means Dots would have been citrus and not-too-sweet floral with just a slight dirtiness to it. You know how it is with scent and memory - somehow I remember it vividly and not at all at the same time.

If I could find someone to tell me how perfume buffs described Dots, I could probably go on Fragrantica and find something similar. But so far the English-language internet has yielded nothing at all.

Any middle-aged Swedes out there who remember this stuff?
