Unsolicited answer: I’m somewhere in the Gen X age milieu. I was in my 20’s before the WWW became a thing. Our phones had cords, and you couldn’t take them with you. The TV remote was called ‘kids’, and TVs had knobs. Video games were Pong and Atari. Our first computer was a Vic-20, then a Commodore 64. Dick Tracy’s 2-way wrist TV was absurdly futuristic.
The first fragrance I ever owned was…
As a kid, probably Brut or Stetson or something like that.
The first fragrance I bought with my own money was…
Paul Sebastian, maybe? Again, I was a kid.

Also love Old Spice aftershave, and Royall Spyce.
