Time travel in the year 2007...
I was standing in the drugstore and I saw this bottle. I was almost ashamed to pick him up. My pride made me hesitate, "after all, you are acting in the niche segment" I thought to myself. Look to the left, look to the right. Nobody here! All right, let's go. Test strip, sprayed on and slowly led my nose:

Flashback into the year 2007... It is autumn and so slowly the trees lose their colourful leaves. It storms strongly and so slowly a fog came up. I just got out of the nice hot shower with a fresh shower. In the haze of memory I see myself dressed in underwear standing in my children's room until suddenly from a distance a "Uh-Oh" sounds. It was the notification tone from the famous messenger with the green flower. Full of excitement I ran to the computer with tube screen at that time. A girlfriend I met at the time wrote me if I would like to stop by. "Of course" I wrote back, I had already finished school at 13:00 o'clock, it is Friday. I wonder if that was a good idea After all, it's a girl. Alone to her? What do you do then? Are her parents home? Is this a date yet? Questions about questions that went through my head.

She was 14, almost 15 years old and I was still 13. She secretly opened the front door for me, after all her parents were not allowed to know that a boy was coming by. Arrived in the attic apartment I already got an oriental male scent in my nose which vanished relatively fast because the window was still open. I didn't think anything of it and lay on the sofa with her. We cuddled, talked about God and the world but suddenly... Again! An oriental spicy scent rose into my nose... I was starting to get worried. Is she up to something with the Italian from the 9th? But then it came to me, it was her cuddly toy that smelled like it! I just had to talk her into it. With a laugh she stood up, ran to the cupboard and took out a bottle of Bruno Banani Man and confessed to me her sensual love for this fragrance. She almost went crazy when she smelled him. The bottle looked valuable and had something unique with the slanted stand. I only knew him from commercials. This bald guy with the leather jacket and women stroking him. I also remembered the slogan again. "Bruno Banani, not for everybody".
I carefully sprayed the scent first on the back of my hand to make friends with him and finally on my neck. After all, nothing could go wrong. A better precision landing couldn't have happened to me.
You can imagine the rest of the story. It became a long day that stretched into the night. Without light I walked secretly down the stairs and closed the door behind me. On the way home, two things came to my mind. On the one hand the euphoria and feelings of happiness and even after 10h a sweet delicious vanilla...

Meanwhile, my shame has passed. I grabbed the wrapper and took it to the cash register. About 20€/50ml. A great price, but after all it's just a drugstore smell. Unfortunately, I have to say that the scent is no longer what it once was. Unfortunately, the durability has decreased a lot and also the fragrance composition seems to be slightly different to me. Nevertheless, you don't do anything wrong with him. Mainstream scent from old times, which fits to every occasion. Whether in the office, to go out or simply to indulge in the memories :-)

Youth sin?
The first time I came into contact with this fragrance was during my time in the Bundeswehr. That was then so about in the year 2001 and I tender 21 years.
I didn't really have any experience with perfume before. Only times from the Mr. Papa the aftershave used and as unfit found.
But I'm sweating right now.
So the smell was something new for me. A comrade ran past me and drew just this fragrance cloud after him. It was a very pleasant and good fragrance.
After a few days I asked him what he had there for a fragrance and he proudly showed me the bottle.
So I immediately went to the next DM after work and covered with perfume, shower gel and deodorant stick.
I have to say that I didn't really know the fine differences in the scents at that time. For me it was just a good and masculine scent.
Time passed and I realized that more and more of my friends also had this Bruno.

So it was time to decide for other brands, because unfortunately this fragrance became a victim of its success and you smelled it constantly and everywhere.

Fortunately, I was often on the road for work and then became aware of my favorite fragrance. The Terré de Hermes. (What I'm still using)

But it must also be said that over the years I succumbed again and again to the temptation and got myself this one Bruno. Even if it stood then long in the cupboard and I then gave it away to friends so I still like the smell. Even after such a long time. It just remains a beautiful classic that can be used for almost any occasion. I personally have now again a bottle of it in the cupboard stand even if I only sniff at it.
Which I like to do because it brings back my old memories.

All in all a beautiful fragrance with which you can do nothing wrong. And for the price you can't ask now that this fragrance lasts all day long.

A perfume that shows its strengths especially in the wind and cold
I think most know him from the drugstores, because he is known to be one of the very cheap perfumes. Many he is probably already times "run under the nose" or you have seen him at the one or the other. I guess he is also because of its size and the price segment a perfume that you can take everywhere without worrying.

The fragrance:

I personally like the scent very much, it is very intense, refreshing and sweet.

The sillage:

In winter and on windy days, I found the scent just bombastic. He flew in the true sense of the word all the time around my nose. It seemed like it was dancing around me like a swarm of bees.

In the summer, on the other hand, I found it short-smelling and fading quickly. However, better than any deodorant in my opinion. I would take it with me everywhere.

The price-performance ratio is very good in any case. He will truly accompany me for a long time.

Oblique between the axe deos/ my teen nostalgia
Oh yes... back then... when to all suitable or unsuitable opportunity the Axe deodorants were pulled out by the classmates and sprayed generously - all 5 minutes from top to bottom, whether in the classroom, the schoolyard situations or in the sports locker room - only the school bus I was spared, because I could cycle home.

I found these things terrible at the time, these short-term stinky headache experiences in even different odors had been too much for me, I used neutral deodorants, and then wanted to put something against it one day - in relation to these Axe deodorants I discovered Bruno Banani, yes not necessarily a fragrance art and today's designer or niche classification (if you value it...) was still foreign to me at the time, it was simply a matter of smelling good myself and convince the classmates to a different scent world.

Admittedly, the flacon attracted me at the time, and today I still find that has what, quite honestly, about taste can be argued, but that was already between the Axe deodorants a weird eye-catcher - I could convince at the time even 2 people who have also bought the fragrance.

To the fragrance itself this sweet-floral-spicy prelude I liked very much even then, when I sniffed on Monday to remember came directly again these memories - sweet I was never quite averse, although there are just nowadays sweeter clubs, also find that he is also nice light-complex for a Cheapie.
At the time I really thought perfume is already what crass, I used initially only Bruno Banani, today he is perhaps in some points not so strong and not such a fragrance art - yes, yet touching and somehow you can buy on occasion but again, be it the memory and the flacon - yes, it may be weird as this but somehow emotions and memories are always important, who you were and who you are and who you will be is always exciting in a documentary, even if this is only for you.
Coming back to the fragrance this rough coffee note has a nice counter concept to the sweet part of the fragrance, moreover a cool smoky herbaceous byplay organizes itself over time.

Gladly write your first fragrances, possibly at the teen times in the comments.

Thanks for reading - nice that you participated in my Throwback-Thursday today!

A pleasant evergreen
The scent is spicy and fresh, a beautiful cinnamon-like breeze comes towards you. The Sillage is good for the first hour, you are definitely noticed by your fellow men as they pass by. Then the scent becomes close to the skin or the body. Tip: Spray more on the clothes, there the smell smells more intensively and the T-shirt smells still the next day. (As long as you have used a good deodorant :D).
After 2-3 hours it becomes sweeter and one can smell a little vanilla, despite everything it remains very masculine. In total it lasts about 5-6 hours, on clothing until the next day.
A pleasant pleasant fragrance with which you can do nothing wrong. Well suited to smell pleasant, but not to attract attention, e.g. at school or at work. Okay for a date, too, but there are "cuddlier" fragrances on the market. I think it's the best of the cheap perfume series, Bruno Banani.
Good can also be very cheap

A grapefruit of an EdT -- a citrus, but not a whiff of sweetness. As fresh, punchy, occasionally warm, light, and androgynous as youth.

Astonishing as the Leaning Tower of Pisa the scent is an oriental blend of aniseed, clove & coffee, and a tail of creamy tonka and vanilla!
