  1. I’d put this on right now with my eyes closed! What a rich, fresh, and personality-packed scent, perfect for the youthful audience it was aimed at. I used countless bottles; my mom bought them because she knew I loved them. I should have saved a little and kept the last one, even just to smell it occasionally… but back then I didn’t know it would disappear 😛 I’ll always remember it with joy (please: bring it back!!). Edit: I finally got my hands on a bottle, so happy 🎉🧩

  3. Oh… I wish those 90s fragrances were back. They smelled so good! Puzzle was my first cologne. I remember it with so much fondness and loved it, even though my young nose found it a bit sharp. Very citrusy with slightly musky notes.

  7. Please bring back the 90s colognes!!! These were truly fresh and pleasant for everyday wear… Zapping, Puzzle, Salt & Pepper, all the Dana ones… I’d trade them blindfolded for the ‘bunny singer’ scents and all that…

    Such memories with this cologne, citrusy and soft. It’s a shame they’re no longer sold.

  10. Finally found it, I bought this perfume blind when I first got it. It takes me back to when I was a teenager. I want it again even though I haven’t worn more than one fragrance in years 😉
