Today I swayed to the shopping center amidst treacherous gusts of wind, as the day was gloomy and overcast, and I was thirsty for colorful variety.
The display in the car wanted to tell me something with its equally colorful pictograms - but I didn’t understand it.
Maybe I should turn back?
No, I had to check on things at my perfume shop.
Of course, just looking.
My Bettina floated towards me with a pink orb - and suggested I give it a try.
Based on the color and shape, I expected something rosy and sweet - which was indeed delivered at the start.
The full vanilla was the roundness to it.
The neroli spreads a certain smoothness.
But then Pink Ginger develops a charming individuality through the ginger and woody notes.
Distinct corners and edges where the nose likes to linger.
The soft rose transforms into an expressive magenta - and from there into a mysterious violet.
This fragrance, which starts off so harmlessly, has an unexpected depth and enormous longevity.
No - I couldn't resist, this magic orb had to come with me.
On the way back, the display showed me a glowing exclamation mark.
I understood that.
