Word for young mustache?

Question

How in one word do you describe the soft, thin, first-time mustache that grows when a boy goes through puberty?

Tender? Immature?

'Peach fuzz' is the phrase I've heard. 'Course, that's two words.
You mean one term, or one word? What is this for that you need just a single word without spaces or hyphens in it? The term “peach fuzz” is a single entry in the OED: 1. Something resembling the down of a peach in texture; esp. soft facial hair, often that of an adolescent boy.
Just as an added angle, a popular Hebrew term for it is "Bar-Mitzvah moustache"

Linking to the OED rather than Urban Dictionary would make this a better answer. – Callithumpian May 30 '12 at 3:45

When I had stuff like this on my upper lip it was referred to by my elders and (doubtless) betters as bum-fluff.

	Yes, that was certainly the word with which I was taunted. – Qube May 30 '12 at 12:45
