Story time.

Wanted to review this one several times, and I thought to myself.. maybe I should tell a real life story which this fragrance is highly attached to for me. That haven't been said countless of times already.

I work in the music industry, and I often work with vocalists for various projects. One day I got sent a video of a young beautiful blonde haired woman singing by a friend, and he told me I should try to contact her.

Some time past and I was searching for a woman vocalist to sing on a project of mine, after searching for a bit, I suddenly remembered my friend sent me that video, and I decided to contact the vocalist. Our conversation quite quickly went in another direction than the project, also the first time I figured out there's a message size limit on Facebook's Messenger. Instantly a match between me and her.

One day we got the courage to meet up for the project, which ended out with anything else than that, obviously. We spend the whole night together, like we had knew each other for much longer, in a way where nothing felt awkward. She left early in the morning to go to work, and the first message I woke up to was, my perfume was stock in her head, she had never smelled anything like it, and every time she thought of the smell she was picturing me. I asked her if she liked it, or if it was just because I was wearing it, she said, the smell is good, but it's because you are wearing it.

Which means to me, unique scents might not get the mass appeal, but in reality you are not looking for the mass appeal, because when someone likes you, they will associate that smell with you.
In other words, the smell is a part of who you are to other people, which learned me an important lesson. If someone likes you, they will also like the perfume you like to wear, or at least associate it with you, and that is good.

And for those who are curious about the project, I did see her in a few months, and we never ended up doing any work together, I was still not done with my ex girlfriend, so it ended that way. And yes, I wonder how my life would had turned if I had dared to give that relation a chance. Today 3 years later, I'm single.

When I wear this today, I think of that whole story, and I remember it as one of the most alluring periods I ever experienced.

Thanks Homme Intense for taking part of that story, maybe someday we will take a re-match.
