Journey of thoughts to the Mediterranean

So here now my first review! Since to the fragrance itself probably already almost all supposed facts were called, now follows my very personal relationship to this perfume.

After I smelled a day after testing in the perfumery on the sleeve of my jacket, the fragrance had me immediately. Previously not too much with perfumes at the hat had, my first contact with AdG Profumo was like an awakening experience. Although I had heard before in one place or another something about strong associations or feelings, which can be triggered by perfume fragrances, but to me such a thing was completely unknown.
This changed with these last remnants from the black bottle on my jacket:

The smell, which rose to my nose, brought me immediately back to past times, more precisely to countless Mediterranean holidays in different countries.
Some of you will know these places, hidden little chapels, mostly whitewashed and quite inconspicuous from the outside, sometimes even dilapidated. Inside, however, the visitor who strayed into these places not at all intended for tourists or strangers, usually expected even in the poorest fishing village a great, splendid decor.
This always includes what the the scent immediately appealed to me:
The faint smell of cold incense combined with old stone and fresh sea air.

So now I was standing there, I think it was two years ago in front of a doctor's office, smelling my sleeve and suddenly I was back in one of those very chapels. A mad experience!
A day later, the Profumo moved in as the first fragrance of my collection with me.
Initially, I wore him gladly as a fresh everyday fragrance, nowadays with growing collection rather rarely. Nevertheless, he brings me even today in selected moments back to those places where the world and time seem to stand still.
