The "Axe Effect" from my Ex

That fragrances hide links to the past is something I have long known. That these links can still be accessed after 13 years... Amazing.

Unaware, I test this fragrance from the Pafory Advent calendar directly on my skin and suddenly I am 23 again, staying over at my boyfriend's place, and since the overnight stay was unplanned, I have to reach for his deodorant after showering. That was basically my first experience with a unisex fragrance, and I loved the red Axe Effect, both on me and on him, and I wasn't in a hurry to bring my own deodorant into his place...

And now I sit here, 13 years, 2 countries, and two kids (not from him) later, and I still like the scent. This one even smells better - somehow finer. I love the mandarin note, paired with the pomegranate, it is beautiful... However, the fruits are constantly accompanied by other notes that give them a certain sensuality - first a burst of musk (not listed here, but I can smell it!), and then my beloved woods...

I also have no problem with the fact that I still have a few gifts from my ex in my current household - I am not sentimental at all and only see the practical use of these things. But with the fragrance, it’s different - after all, it is associated with intimate memories that have no place in my current life. But mmmm how good it smells, and S/H are also annoyingly good. I have decided to use up the sample to get rid of the "Ex Effect." If I succeed, it will become a solid candidate for purchase; if not, then unfortunately it is already "occupied" by the past.
