Anyone out there old enough to remember Love's Fresh Lemon from the 1970's? Back in 1972, it was the hottest thing since sliced bread for teenage girls. I would head off to school in platform shoes, cuffed bell bottom pants smelling like a lemonade stand. Was I cool or what?
Fruit-scented sprays were all the rage in the early 70's. I recall once wearing a strawberry-scented musk to school in Grade 11, and my mother taunting me with the strains of "Strawberry Fields Forever" as my scent and I marched out the front door.
Then Love's Baby Soft came out. The baby powder scent was a huge sensation to my age group and I adored its soft, subtle scent. Baby Soft would waft into a room instead of taking it over.
Love's Baby Soft is still around to this day, but I think the Fresh Lemon is long gone. At least, it's been many years since I've seen it in stores. I am tempted to head over to Walmart and buy a bottle of Baby Soft for the first time in decades. I can relive old memories of teen crushes, high school dances, hilarious fashions and a special friend from Norway who spent the summer with me in 1972, introduced me to Love's Fresh Lemon and remains a friend to this day.
Often life goes in circles; Love's Baby Soft brings back my inner 16-year old and a simpler, less hectic way of life. Sometimes I miss that.
