F*** Pooh the Bear, I like Eeyore much better anyway (or "Do young pubescent bears have to shave?")....
Questions that move the world. The perfume world. Or at least me.
Why, really? Why, after my long commentary hiatus, am I starting with a fragrance that is extremely atypical for me?
Because it stings me? Because it doesn't suit me? Because it has that hated aftershave note? Because it's still in my collection anyway? Because everything isn't always light and uncomplicated? Because I don't own a single other Acqua di Parma fragrance? Because there's hardly a scent note in there that I like? Questions about questions...
Sometimes we're drawn to fragrances that so don't reflect our scent preferences. But isn't that how it is in real life too? I hope so, because otherwise you'd be predictable, conventional, boring and maybe always smell the same.
For some, that might mean security, but for me, it's rigid and stifling. And although I have always identified more with the somewhat depressed or notoriously depressed donkey in the story of Pooh the Bear, I might want to let the cheerful, happy and uncomplicated bear hang out many a time.
Translation: The fragrance starts out so honey-heavy for me that I can hardly get the image of Pu, the bear with honey around his snout and the honey pot in his paws, out of my head. But wait, little by little I see Eeyore flashing through in his hut of branches and sticks. Both of them take turns again and again, one after the other, always one of them is present.
And after 1-2 hours, the scent rewards me with the image of Eeyore after the rain in his dripping wet but still existing hut, saying, "Thank you for noticing me."
The for me too strong aftershave note after spraying, which fortunately later subsides, lets me sum up about the second part of my title: do puBÄRtäre young bears actually use aftershave?
