My first big perfume love... BUT

I still remember the day this wonderful fragrance entered my world. The moment I stood in the perfumery and saw the golden bottle with amber-colored contents in front of me. I was captivated by the look of this fragrance alone. One or two sprays on the test strip, a few seconds passed, when the scent entered my nose I opened my eyes wide, the corners of my mouth moved upwards, an explosion of emotions. I'm only 15, I've never really had a real perfume before, I can't place what exactly it is that I'm smelling. The only thing I know is that it's the most beautiful thing I've ever smelled. Looking at the price didn't dampen my joy and positive emotions. Quite the opposite. I knew immediately that I wanted it. Even though I only had pocket money at the time. On the way home through the city center, I couldn't stop smelling the strip. When I got home and even a few days later, I couldn't stop holding the piece of cardboard under my nose again and again.

The big day has come, I've got the money together and can finally buy my first "real" perfume. Two friends were in town with me. Both were just as blown away when I showed them the fragrance (later they both bought it too). I couldn't have had better confirmation that the fragrance was really good. Now it was mine. I can finally spray it on and wear it, I'll be able to take my surroundings with me, everyone will turn around and ask what I'm wearing. Without planning it, I have discovered the best fragrance there is. I even made a Facebook post to express my love for the fragrance. But now comes the "BUT". I couldn't stand to smell the fragrance on me for long. The first moments and minutes were wonderful, a rush. Sweet vanilla and amber notes, an oriental touch. But I couldn't stand it in the long run. The intensity of the fragrance was too strong. Having this sweet oriental firework in my nose the whole time gave me a headache. My heart was broken, as much as this fragrance euphorized me, the sadder was the realization, "on myself, it gets on my nerves." I tried it a few more times, unfortunately always with the same result. I still own the almost full bottle to this day, as I could never really part with it and the scent is still beautiful. Fortunately, I was able to enjoy the perfume on my two friends who, as mentioned above, bought it later. It's just a shame that I was never really able to wear the fragrance myself.
