Honey bees in the forest
I am new here on Parfumo and Kalemat is new to me.
Some time ago, I decided to buy a new perfume and went to Douglas. I walked purposefully to the Tom Ford stand and tried it out. I got stuck with hombre leather. It was the smell of a new car and that triggered a strange mixture of reverie and euphoria in me. When I woke up the next morning with the smell still in my nose, I immediately wanted to start looking for the perfect perfume for me. What were my main criteria? 1. It should smell masculine 2. it must last a long time 3. it must not cost 300 euros/100ml.
And then I embarked on a long journey of disappointment and disillusionment. I bought various fragrances with good reviews but none of them lasted. They were all no longer perceptible after 1-2 hours. The fragrance that made me the most indignant was La Yuqawam by Rasasi. An absolute crowd favorite here on Parfumo, but apparently there must have been a reformulation because this fragrance was already a memory after 2 hours. At the proud price of 80 euros I paid for it, I was disillusioned.
I was already asking myself whether you just have to pay yourself silly if you want to enjoy a fragrance all day long and perhaps even speculate on the odd compliment.
And that brings me to Kalemat. Here is my experience:
I was on my way to my better half's and sprayed 2 sprays on my T-shirt, 2 on my neck and 2 on my wrist without much hope (due to the previous situation). And then I went out.
A driver stopped her car and asked me for my number. As I got on my bike, a random passer-by fainted (with an enraptured look on his face) animals started following me on my way, and my train was 15 minutes late due to a massive crowd of people trying to get into my compartment. When I arrived at my friend's house, she opened the door for me and immediately undressed.
I don't need to say any more. As of today, I smell like Winni Pooh shopping in Dubai. Even a day after applying it.
That's all I need to say.
Thank you Arabian Oud :)
