The way home

It was a stroll through a perfumery near me. I was once again looking for something new to spray on, because since about a year has also me the perfume fever packed.

I honestly didn't really know what it was gonna be. While browsing through the individual perfume shelves I was not at all sure which type of fragrance it should be this time.

When I had tested my way through some perfumes, it was clear to me that it could also be something fruity-sweet.

I was already tired of the well-known fragrance DNA a la Sauvage and it should not go in the direction of a Dior Homme. Suddenly I was standing in front of Ultra Male. The bottle looked familiar to me from its predecessor, which is poorly known as a bestseller. I sprayed him on a test strip and thought to myself, my goodness... how sweet that is, please. So I put it right back on the shelf. No, I thought I'd spray a little something on your wrist. No sooner said than done. Disillusioned, I made my way through the hustle and bustle of the department store towards the underground car park. I sat down in my car and drove off. The scent was always present on my arm. At every traffic light, every curve, every... always. And with astonishment I noticed: he smells better and better! What came out of the bottle in the beginning as much too sweet, now became much more pleasant. Arriving home I smelled this engaging vanilla and light woods, which were always surrounded by a light pear note. Something cinnamon was always buzzing along. I couldn't believe that the fragrance, which seemed so overwhelmingly sweet in the store, had now turned into an absolute favourite for me. To be exact, it was the fragrance I was looking for in the perfumery the whole time. In addition, there was this unbelievable durability and a silage, which is not at all room-filling, but nevertheless always present.

So the next day I stood in front of the shelf in the shop again, but this time with a decisive difference. I was now finally clear which perfume it should be.
