Twenty years together
I remember it like it was yesterday. Me, just about 20, looking for a new scent. Maybe it was even
THE first one in adulthood, after I - you won't believe it - had myself given ANTAEUS for Christmas once when I was perhaps 12 :-).
Since I wanted to be surprised, I sent my mother to the perfumery. "Bring me BOSS'. ...or something like that... ." When my mother came home with the bag, I couldn't wait to unpack the good stuff. But what was - at first, to my disappointment - NOT inside? BOSS Bottled from the commercial
I asked for clarification. "The lady at the perfumery said that the one from BOSS is more for older men, the one here from Jil Sander is much better!"
Well, it's my own fault, I thought, could have given clearer instructions. But then... wonderful! And so completely different from what I had smelled until then. I will spare myself detailed descriptions of fragrances here, others are much better at that. For me, the fragrance basically starts the way it ends. I can't really make out a significant development in different phases...well, in the end it is much gentler and creamier than in the beginning. You must have smelled it, this unusual freshness, spicy and yet light, going into the transparent, yet very distinctive and somehow...modern.
Yes, I find this fragrance modern, even though it has been around for 20 years. If I only had one attribute available, that would be it. Urban, another buzzword, would also be a good association, I think.
For me, Sander for Men is a fragrance that is still wearable today and probably will be in ten years' time. It's basically a fragrance for men from 18 to 88, and has earned me a number of compliments over the past few years, while I usually wonder where some people get the many compliments they always talk about in their YouTube videos. Anyway, it's probably me.
Besides, it is the only fragrance my wife - a declared perfume opponent - loves about me. And what could be a better compliment for a fragrance than this.
