I decided to explore the perfumes of my youth to see if we could prove Thomas Wolfe wrong and “go home again”.
I only revisited fragrances I wore into my mid-twenties. Scents I wore later on do not seem to have the emotional impact of some of these earlier scents, are generally easier to obtain in some form, and are fragrances I have either already dismissed or still wear.
