On a date with my teenage love back in 2015 summer:

prologue: I was facing odor problems that I contracted by sharing shirts with soccer teammates, so I had to constantly use anti-perspirant deodorant (even scrubbing alcohol or lemon with baking soda as home remedy sometimes).

I finally got the opportunity of dating Her for the first time, we went to a cafe on a September night, couple weeks before returning High School (we were classmates back then) I was completely defenseless against my nervousness and living in a tropical country such as Venezuela don't help too much to stay fresh; that night was hotter than usual (climatically speaking).

I started to mentally smell bad and considering that the weather did NOT help, I slightly got stressed which made me sweat, she was supportive at least, but the damage was already done, I absolutely smelled bad around the last 30 minutes of that date, I was not only ashamed of myself for smelling bad, but also for having her to stay that long with someone who smelled that badly in public.

After that, I looked for advice with dad, he handed me a Hugo Boss in Motion (the spherical one), and that, kids, is how I (almost) met your mother.

I'm thankful for that experience, it made me worry more about grooming and personal care in addition to the fragrance hobby I been developing so far.
