You were missing.

Yes, eh. My mistake. It was difficult.
The 80s and 90s were, are and ALWAYS will be my fragrance cosmos.
There was a lot going on at the time, they tried to outdo each other. And they succeeded. Not just you, I also neglected others because the opulence was too enormous.
I could have bought 5 bottles of Acteur Eau de Toilette for €35 at Notino if I'd known you'd be hired.
Would be, would be, bicycle chain.
You were always there, but I ignored you.
Now that they've hired pretty much everything I've ever liked, I'm starting to panic.
Not you too. So I bought 100ml today, just to be on the safe side.
Not tested for ages, so basically blind.
Better safe than sorry.
I am sorry. I was disrespectful. I bought Eternity and Jazz on semi-similarities. Not you.

Never mind. Now I've got you.
That's not meant to sound disrespectful.
But. Chanel has its own level.
Yes, the two above are from the same category.
I don't like all of them, I find Égoïste Eau de Toilette awful and way too sweet. Antaeus Eau de Toilette is world class, Pour Monsieur Eau de Toilette is great, but I still prefer Eau Sauvage Extrême (1982) Eau de Toilette Concentrée.
Anyway.
Here you come to me today.
*Sniff*
There it is again. The enthusiasm.
My world. You do everything right that everyone else couldn't.
Perfection. Chanel perfection.
Super clean, slightly soapy, never barbershop. Fresh, but always with a slight just-out-of-the-dryer cotton wash note. A hint of metallic, but on the level of a 75-fold folded katana blade. Magical.
Pleasantly creamy towards the end, but never not mega sophisticated. Yes, it smells like a new Tom Ford suit. High end and casual at the same time.

Honestly? My first thought was, it's so ultra clean, straight, I almost had to think of Christian Bale in American Psycho.
Such an extremely [Level:Chanel] high-quality everyday fragrance that is second to none.
It is simply everything that the horrible synthetic monsters Sauvage Eau de Toilette or Invictus Eau de Toilette will NEVER be.

For the same price.

You were missing. Sorry I didn't realize that sooner.
I was able to put it right.
Now you're mine. Before you go too.
You never know.

Héritage Eau de Toilette is the next one I've forgotten.
