I was sooo close....the perfume craze part three:-)

Yesterday I was still at 6 perfume purchases since I came to this site in April. Today, numbers 7 and 8 have joined (Terre d'Hermes and 90s classic Joop Nightflight)...but I don't want to write about those here. I have just one urgent request, please write to me as soon as possible that it is completely normal to constantly buy new perfumes...and that this is somehow an unwritten law here:-)!!! Please:-)!!! Psychiatrists are on vacation quite often in the summer:-))!

For about 2 years, I've been circling around SMW by Creed...not Himalaya...not Aventus...Silver Mountain Water!!!!! The other 2 are very good...but SMW is the ultimate for me...THE perfume for me. Not Dior Homme Intense squared, all the Chanels of this world combined, or the essence of all Armani perfumes...I lack the words to describe what SMW triggers in me. With women's perfumes, I lose my mind with "Aliens"...with men's fragrances, it's clearly SMW. For me, it embodies clarity, purity, uniqueness, and the most stylish freshness. NOTHING on this planet smells LIKE SHW. Just once with my nose on my wrist and words like fragrance pyramid, sillage, etc. vanish into thin air...simply because you feel like you're on drugs...no one else matters anymore...you just want to HAVE it!!!! I told the saleswoman (in a small private perfume chain) that if she could do something about the price, I would take all 3. The response...well, how unfortunate, yesterday you could have gotten 20% off, because on Thursdays all perfumes are discounted. You'll have to come back next week...my objection "...you could also backdate it by one day or forward by 6..." she didn't find so great. I then told her that my threshold has never been so low for a 145 Euro perfume as it is now...and she would have to give me the final push...(in total, at least 250 Euros and yesterday 120 Euros!!)...to finally take home the holy grail of fragrances...the saleswoman then seamlessly transitioned to the company history of Creed and that SHW was made especially for David Bowie...OMG...even selling water in the desert becomes difficult. For that, she filled me a 10ml sample for free...at first glance very nice...but I see it as pure SM...you see your sample lying there...sniffing at it every 10 seconds...you can literally watch it evaporate ML by ML due to the warm temperature...that's really inhumane...and she knows very well that I will be standing in front of the store tomorrow at 08:00 and will make another attempt...I was sooo close...;-)

Thanks for your nice feedback :-) That was one of my first comments here... that's when the obsession started;-)! I still really like it... and my girlfriend loves it on me... so it's basically not for sale;-)!

Old but gold. I just had to read it again even though I already knew it. Such a great comment! Luckily, it's in my collection :)

Great comment. But do you know what you're causing with that?
Do you know how many people will have to test/buy it BECAUSE of that?
;-) Totally hooked...
