No fire burns forever!

December 1993 Tunisia.
A newly married couple on their honeymoon get ready for the disco.
He grabs a sample he got when he bought her a
Gift.
"Hmm! Smells like a good shaving soap!" he thinks to himself and spreads
four drops on his neck and wrists.
After the soap withdraws a bit he recognizes a scent that looks very familiar to him namely the smell of his favorite
Drinks Gin and Tonic with a slice of lemon here but embedded in lavender. A little later join still cedar and sandalwood in addition
and make this fragrance a unique warming embrace.
This embrace remains throughout the evening and even when he wakes up the next morning, the scent has only slightly weakened, he would have had to evaluate this perfume at that time, he would probably have given a 9.5 in all points.
After they are back home he immediately makes his way to the perfumery to get a bottle of it, but when the saleswoman tells him the price it is like a slap in the face and he leaves the perfumery saddened with a bottle of Joop Homme, his signature at the time.
Two years later.
He stands in his former teenage bedroom and unpacks his few
Belongings, she apparently felt there were better men for her and broke up with him.He finds the sample tube and looks at the clock. "The perfumery is still open for half an hour and the few marks more in debt don't matter now" he thinks to himself
Since he is henceforth very economical with this for him so valuable perfume,
at the beginning only for himself now and then a splash on the wrist to be comforted and warmed by him and later then only on very special occasions two splashes on the neck, this flacon lasts a full 20 years with him.
Present.
When he holds his nose at a friend a flacon Joop Homme
and thinking about great events in the past,
he remembers his warming, fragrant friend.
In the evening he sits down at his laptop to look for him and finds him also quite fast at a clearly more favorable price than he would have expected. When finally almost two weeks later (great performance DPD) the package is in front of the door as he comes from work he can hardly wait, he opens the package and finds a new quite appealing Flacon before. "Chic! is good for you"
he thinks to himself and jumps under the shower.
Afterwards he spreads 4 spritzes on his neck and wrists like the very first time.
"I don't remember you being that soapy"
he thinks to himself. The soap goes back significantly slower and releases only hesitantly the other fragrance notes but after 30 minutes he is almost back, only the wood note and thus the warming embrace remains almost absent, it is rather just a friendly handshake.
After he has tested the fragrance for a few days, among other things, at work, where he does not fit times at all but also already got 2 compliments, the initial disappointment has
somewhat settled and he sits down again in front of the laptop opens Parfumo.de and gives for the fragrance 8, durability and sillage 8,5
and the bottle with the well-dispensable spray head 9 points.
While he starts to write a review he decides, while he is sure that this fragrance can never again warmly embrace him, that they nevertheless remain friends, especially since the fragrance now also fits much better to his age with his now 47 years in addition, the fragrance is still unique.
I hope my first review has pleased you, if not, then I am always open to constructive criticism.
