This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Meadowsong was a perfume by Christopher Collings that came out around 1971.It was marketed as 'The Smell of New Mown Grass', and came in a white bottle. Though it never really caught on, perhaps because it was more like 'The Smell of Fermenting Haystacks'. Which would make an interesting campaign for a perfume, but not a very lucrative one.

    Wow memories! This was my first perfume aged 16 - wore on holiday with my mum and dad and would love to smell it again to bring back those memories!

    Oh yes, I remember Meadowsong well. It was bought for me back in the 1970s as a birthday present and I kept the iconic white bottle for many years. I would love to smell that fragrance again. I have to disagree with the "smell of fermenting haystacks" comment, but - in the same way we all see colours differently - maybe we all smell fragrances differently, too.

    I bought this in the early seventies and loved it. It was my first perfume. I want one again. Wish someone would make it. Loved the white bottle.

    Just looking at images...that was Aqua Manda. I did buy Meadowsong as well but the other image has stuck.

    That's strange. I distinctly remember Meadowsong by Goya as coming in a small brown bottle with an orange label. But it did have the smell of new-mown grass. I bought a bottle in Boots in North Finchley because of its romantic connotations( Meadowsong, that is, not North Finchley).

    I remember it well! Round white glass bottle with wild flowers in same colour relief growing up it. It was HUGELY popular, every girl I knew was wearing it; bought from Woolworthswith their pocket money - it mustn't have been very expensive. Can't remember whether it was before or after the other great Coty success 'Gingham'; which was basically Brut bottled for women! Some of us just wore Brut instead ;) Ursula
