Findense nich ehmfalls ...?
Now I want to chime in here too. I usually don’t get the chance to add my mustard because Korianke babbles on for ages. I don’t understand how the man does it. He talks and talks all the time without taking a breath and even chats up the passing customers! I wouldn’t have time for such a thing; I have a household to run. You can imagine, cooking every day, and then also baking cakes ... and the cat keeps me on my toes.
I always say to myself, Trudchen, I always say to myself, Trudchen, this is good, because you don’t rust away, you don’t rust away.
Can you follow me ...?
By the way, I have been married to this man for at least, if not longer, and I can assure you, he has always talked this much.
How else would I have managed?
Yes, exactly, he came with flowers back then, and with perfume, but he also talked and talked like a waterfall ...
I thought it was great. What he knows!
And he has always been a charming man.
But I also managed to get him, because he is a little sweet tooth, that Korianke. And I can bake a bit now ...
Can you follow me ...?
"Trudchen," he said back then, "Trudchen, look, the two of us, this will be paradise on earth!"
And what did he have?
He was right!
Oh, how we have seen the world, how many beautiful trips we have made. Now we are already in our little writing retreats.
But that is also wonderful. So cozy, so quiet, and the little birds chirp so friendly in the trees ... and the flowers smell as if they are being paid for it, that always pleases me the most.
So in the green, with Mother Nature, that makes one’s heart swell. Exactly for that we have our little writing retreats!
Korianke and I then sit slowly in the hammock and munch on gooseberry cake and coffee. Or cheesecake. Then there’s sunshine, blue sky, and such peace ... no cars, no loud music, no people far and wide.
That is pure relaxation.
What more could one want? And Korianke then always sings softly something from the Comedian Harmonists. Recently he grinned a bit suggestively, and then he sang about weekend and sunshine. Can it be good, can it be!
Oh, there is so much beauty in this world. Don’t you think so too ...?
Recently, or was it the day before yesterday ... anyway, Korianke surprised me again. Can be especially good, he does that often, and I love it!
So he came with a little box, wrapped with a golden ribbon, all fancy.
Ah, I was so happy right away!
I knew he always brings me the finest. And that’s how it was.
You know, I love fragrances that are really great. Not too sweet, not intrusive, but already a bit special.
It doesn’t have to be expensive. But I love perfumes that not everyone has.
Can you follow me ...?
So Korianke had whipped up something again ... it was really quite pomposity, as he always says.
It came from France.
No, not my old Korianke, but the perfume!
You can find such things there. They concoct fragrances there, and no eye stays dry, as true as I am called Trudchen!
Now it is like this, that we have just arrived in the dog days. It’s August, and everything is hot, blue sky, no little clouds, and not even at night does it really cool down pleasantly.
You see, you can’t wear a perfume that is sweet and heavy. Sure, some unrefined simpletons do it anyway, but I find that a cowardice of sorts! It simply doesn’t sound right!
No, it has to be something light, something discreet, that gently caresses the senses and refreshes you.
And Korianke brought me just the right thing, he did.
I have a little shrub in our writing retreats that always needs full sun and smells wonderfully. It’s called verbena; educated people also call it lemon verbena.
You see, and exactly that stuff he brought me as a perfume!
I was speechless at first, and I must assure you, that rarely happens to me. Then I was overjoyed because this brew smells so nice.
You see, it starts with the verbena, of course, but at the same time, there’s a very, very fresh muse in it.
Yes, yes, this is the tenth muse, and it’s called grapefruit!
Or, as educated people call it, it’s grapefruit.
Can you follow me ...?
In any case, it’s fresh, so fresh, it’s almost cold. I must assure you, it’s extremely pleasant in this heat!
As someone whispered to me, who knows about this, and is called Korianke, they also chopped in some fruit called lychee, but I can’t swear to that now.
This mixture of verbena and grapefruit is definitely a real treat in this temperature and is so pleasantly refreshing in the nose.
Yes, so it’s definitely long-lasting! I was able to sniff it in the evening too ...
No, this little water is by no means boring, I give you my word on that.
After a while, a bit of jasmine becomes noticeable from the back, but very cautiously and discreetly. However, it doesn’t stand out much; it remains fresh, and this is primarily thanks to the grapefruit, which is there to strengthen the verbena.
And it does that well, it does!
Little by little, it then becomes a hint of woodsy. It’s as if the grapefruit and the verbena are being adorned by a noble and dry note. But very discreetly! I like that, it is elegant, and the citrus remains really fresh until the end and doesn’t get soaked in some old mush of musk.
And sweet is nothing there, which I find very reassuring.
Now this noble brew is supposedly only for us ladies. But I can assure you, even a charming man can wear this perfume with confidence. Especially because it’s not sweet! This is for ladies and gentlemen alike. They call such things unisex today, I’ve heard.
Well, short and sweet - this is a scent that you won’t smell on many other people quickly. It’s not that well-known, which I now find a shame. It has a real uniqueness, stands out from the crowd, and is still not over-the-top, but simply beautiful.
Korianke was really happy that I was so happy with this scent.
That’s why it made me very happy ...
So, now I have to check on my cake, I can’t chat here any longer.
I wish you all the best, and do come visit us in our little writing retreats! It’s just around the corner ...
