Youth Dew
My grandmother's entire home smelled like Youth Dew! As I grew older and purchased my sets of this coveted product; my Mom would remark; 'Here you come, smelling like your Grandmother!' 'I know' I would reply! I loved my grandmother and I loved her smell! Even though I have been a cosmetics connoisseur for over 60 years, my favorite fragrance is still 'Youth Dew!' This is a great read!
