Teen Spirit Deodorant
Teen Spirit is an anti-perspirant/deodorant, originally sold by Mennen until the company was acquired by Colgate-Palmolive in 1992. The Teen Spirit line of products has been steadily losing popularity since its peak in the early 1990s. However, this peak was largely due to its inadvertently being featured in the 1991 legendary Nirvana song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Before this, the Teen Spirit line was much as it is now, small and relatively unheard of.
Teen Spirit was first released by Mennen early in 1991, and with heavy advertising campaigns, it had soon “established a market niche” with teen girls. However, one of its biggest boosts came from the grunge band Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” a song that was inspired by a friend of lead singer Kurt Cobain, Kathleen Hanna (lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill at the time), spray painting “Kurt smells like Teen Spirit” on his wall because Tobi Vail, Hanna’s band mate and Kurt’s then-girlfriend, wore Teen Spirit. At the time the song was released, Cobain had no idea that the brand even existed; when he did find out, he was rather upset that the song had been named after a line of deodorant.
Pleassssssse bring back Cool Caribbean in Teen Spirit deodorant. I can’t stand the other fragrances nor can I find another to take the place of cool caribbean. Nothing works as well as it did. My whole family used it, even my husband. It helped his bad underarm odor that nothing else could tackle. I hate that it is no longer on the market.
I would like to see a new flavor for Teen Spirit deodorant like peach. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Teen Spirit!
