The Office for Men
Over seven weeks of restricted life. Home office and simultaneous childcare included. At the latest after two weeks, I didn't know how to keep the kids entertained anymore. Everything was closed. The craft supplies that were bought just before the closure of all shops had already been reused three times. The motivation for my eldest to do homework independently dwindled day by day. At least she gets to go back to school part-time starting tomorrow. And the little kindergarten rocker is bored without his playmates.
But what is there to complain about? As long as you are healthy, you’re doing well. And somehow you get used to the situation. Half an hour of waiting in line to buy bread. Hey, my colleague who grew up in the GDR says it’s like the old days. I already know that. And you have to see the positive sides as well. The house is clean again. I’ve also gotten better at Mario Kart on the Wii. My son and I have unlocked all the characters in Mario Party 9. Isn’t that great? Actually, it’s more me than him. He prefers to watch. And I can now climb walls in Mario Party in under 10 seconds. Not bad. We’ve also binge-watched YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime twice already. And otherwise, I’m doing things I never did before. Like checking statuses on WhatsApp. Unfortunately, this always ends in some task. If you send me a heart, then I’ll send one back. I didn’t even know how to do that until the last minute. But my daughter (9), who just got a phone for Christmas, explained it to me. And these challenges. My favorite is the drinking game. A shot at the beginning, then a beer, and finally a schnapps to wash it down. Do you know that? Of course. It’s just unfortunate that my homemade slivovitz is now all gone and I had to buy more beer. You never know when the next nomination will come. I’ve also gotten into the habit of not mentioning the name of the nominator anymore. Then you can always send the same video again. And smartphones. I think that’s great. My daughter can see her friends for hours despite the contact ban, and all at the same time. Brilliant. That didn’t exist in the 90s. So, what else? I now know every flavor from the local ice cream parlor. My favorite? White chocolate with pistachio. Although cookie, Snickers, coconut, melon, mango, vanilla, cream cherry, Malaga, pistachio, (dark) chocolate, strawberry, peach, mint, and banana also taste pretty good.
So, how did I get here? Oh right. Home office. Office. I am back in the office for the first time this week after seven weeks. And all alone. A whole floor to myself. Very cool. And the scent here is supposed to be the office for men. Yes indeed. The office. The last refuge for us men. The last bastion. What used to be the pub is now the office. It can’t be any other way. The pub is closed. And football isn’t on anymore either. So what should I do in the pub? Chat with my friends? Please! And no one has explained to me how I’m supposed to get to the beer at the bar while keeping 1.5 meters apart.
But I’m digressing again. The office for men starts very fresh and very fruity. And the beginning feels very familiar. Yes, one could say it smells like the fruitier version of Sauvage, toned down by pepper. But actually, the opening reminds me a lot of the Craftsman from Tabac Original. And which fruit it is that I smell, I unfortunately cannot decipher from the fragrance pyramid either. After about two hours, it changes a bit. A little of that dry fart-like scent joins in, which you sometimes know from Molecule No. 1. There isn’t much more happening. The scent is a mix of Craftsman/Sauvage with a hint of Molecule No. 1. Since I generally like these fragrances, I must say I like this one too. It reflects the current zeitgeist. Nothing new. Nothing spectacular. But it smells fresh and clean.
And absolutely nothing to complain about regarding longevity and sillage. Both are really great. That’s how you wish it to be.
I can’t say much about the bottle. The old one looked like one from the Molecule series. Well, maybe Mr. Schön called to congratulate on the new perfume and subtly pointed out the similarity. The new bottle design, however, reminds me of Comme des Garçons.
What remains? A contemporary scent that everyone should test for themselves objectively, without considering the background.
Otherwise, I’d like to greet all you everyday heroes. Keep it up!
