Rouge Trafalgar Dior 2020

It's spring or summer in 1997 in my home country.
I'm still a child and spend my days in my grandma's garden.
I spend time with the flowers growing there, watch any bugs, help my grandma water with my mini watering can (even though it probably made her even more work) and snack in between. I particularly liked sea buckthorn, raspberries and blackcurrants. The black berries were probably my favorite. They had this special tart taste and a very intense but wonderful scent...

After many years that have now passed, I have very rarely if ever been able to enjoy this kind of freshly picked, intensely fragrant blackcurrant. For one thing, our climate here is not ideal for this berry, and if it is, it's not exactly the variety from grandma's garden that I loved to eat as a child.

The first time I was sprayed with Rouge Trafalgar, without even knowing what scent it was, I was transported back to my childhood for a brief moment. Suddenly, my grandma's fragrant garden and the carefree and happiest days of my childhood were right in front of my inner eye. If I hadn't been in the middle of the crowded Breuninger at the time, I could probably have cried.
For me, this fragrance has the most authentic blackcurrant note ever. I can't compare it to other "similar" fragrances. It is fruity-sour and the blackcurrant plays the leading role, even if you can still smell the other fruity notes. I see this fragrance mainly on young women. And if I don't want to wear it one day, I'll still keep it to spray on a few childhood moments whenever I feel like it.
