Harry Styles still wild for first girlfriend's perfume

Harry Styles still has a passion for his first girlfriend's perfume and insists he can sniff it out anywhere.

It's just one of the things the former One Direction heartthrob remembers about the unnamed first love who stole his heart when he was 15.

"I'd remember her perfume," he tells Rolling Stone. "I smell that perfume all the time. I'll be in a lift or a reception and say to someone, 'Alien (by Thierry Mugler), right?' And sometimes they're impressed and sometimes they're a little creeped out: 'Stop smelling me!'"

He also recalls that his ex used to "have one of those laughs", adding, "There was also a little bit of mystery with her because she didn't go to our school. I just worshipped the ground she walked on."

Distance was no barrier for their love either.

"She used to live an hour and a half away on the train, and I worked in a bakery for three years. I'd finish on Saturdays at 4.30 and it was a 4.42 train, and if I missed it there wasn't one for another hour or two. So I'd finish and sprint to the train station. Spent 70 per cent of my wages on train tickets."
