I think of Mörike with this scent

"He is Spring, lets his blue ribbon flutter again through the air; sweet, familiar scents brush knowingly across the land."
These lines from his most famous poem come to mind when I spray L'Amandiere. And even more...

2020 was a very difficult year for me personally, not only because of the Corona crisis - and January has so far brought little hope that it is over. I realized last year how much scents help me process setbacks. Specifically, scents that emotionally catapult me back to better times. And here we come to L'Amandiere. It beams me back to spring, when I was still a child and my parents hid Easter eggs and small gifts in the garden, among blooming hyacinths and fresh, chlorophyll-rich bright green. I feel that sense of excitement, anticipation, and security when I spray L'Amandiere. My parents are no longer here, but that warmth they gave me and our garden, which could always soothe me - I can evoke that memory with Heeley's spring scent. And I am grateful that scents can do such things (for me). Thank you, Mr. Heeley!

That's beautifully written and reminds me of my father and my childhood.

Pollita, I guess I’ll have to test Saint Julep again! I once had a sample of it and rated it 7.5, but maybe I’d rate it differently now...

I totally understand. Saint Julep by Imaginary Authors takes me back to my childhood. I really wanted to have it too :)
