Gap Inc. is making its return to the beauty category with the launch of Gap Beauty, reintroducing its iconic fragrance collection.

It’s 1996, and I’m poring over the latest issue of Tiger Beat magazine with my best friend Diana, debating which floppy-haired teen dream we want to marry. (Hi, JTT!) For those of you who, like me, have been holding onto your Dream fragrances for more than 20 years—occasionally spritzing those frosted bottles for a trip down memory lane—you’ll be thrilled to know you can officially retire your old stock.
