Teenage Love
MTV was on TV, Kurt Cobain, the Shakespeare Sisters sang from the radio, and I cried over November Rain by Guns n' Roses for my first great love.
We wore Dad's flannel shirts, Levis 501, and Doc Martens on our feet... life lay before me and my friends like an unread book.
Above all hovered ONE girl鈥檚 fragrance, sweet, a little woody, and in a bottle like a pacifier candy:
Un touche de Naf Naf.
If someone were to ask me how my youth smelled: Exactly like that, every single day! And, what can I say, when I catch a whiff of it today, a sea of memories explodes in my head, and that鈥檚 exactly what gives a fragrance its life, right?

Scream, Kurt Cobain! First his music, then his extremely suspicious passing! May he rest in peace! I've only ever sniffed the scent, but never owned it. A memory trophy!

Everything you wrote was exactly the same for me, Miesje. It's really a shame that you can't find this fragrance anywhere anymore (or if you do, it's probably used and likely gone bad).

Exactly! That's exactly what I think of too! :-) And there were no cell phones in my world (just wedging that long cord from the landline phone in the door to talk to my first boyfriend...) ;-)

Oh yeah. And Yuppies carrying phones were so uncool. Who's that important that they have to be reachable ALL the time? Tzzz... (sent via Mobile App;-)

Oh right! And you know what, I still have that army backpack! Of course, it's lovingly scribbled on...

You forgot something: the army backpack with beer in it, to the music of Metallica, Nirvana, Green Day...
