First Great Love
So, I’ll write my first comment here on Parfumo. And which fragrance would be more fitting than my first great love?
Fragrances have always fascinated me in some way. As a teenager, I tried out half of the drugstore selection of scents, having fragrances from s.Oliver to Playboy to James Bond. There were some nice ones here and there, but none had completely convinced me yet.
In 2014, at the age of 17, it finally happened. I bought my first "good" one. It was the last day of my very last summer vacation. I was out shopping with my parents and then going out to eat. I was drawn to the store with the big D, and there it was. I had always liked the bottle, hardly any other stands out as much. I quickly tested it again, deemed it good, and bought it. Before dinner, I sprayed the fragrance in the car. That was love. A love that still lasts today.
I have always perceived Le Male as pleasant (but not too) sweet, spicy, and slightly bitter. Back then, it was a good way to distinguish myself from the all-encompassing 1 Million (which has since sneaked into my small collection).
I wore it daily for almost half a year, I practically sniffed myself to death with it. Nowadays, I wear it only rarely because of that. I recently bought it again and wore it for this comment.
What can I say? It is and remains my first great love, the first "good" one, the first that completely convinced me back then. Basically, my final entry into the world of fragrances. It MUST always be there, whether I wear it or not. I just love it.

But remember, it’s Parfumo, not Profumo :))
