A fragrance with that certain something

One day my husband came home from the gym and told me we had a dinner date.
For a long time, I had wanted to visit an Italian restaurant nestled in a tennis club complex that I had heard good things about.
During the chat of my husband with a nice sports colleague after the fitness training, the conversation came to talk about exactly this "tennis Italian". One word resulted in the other and the appointment stood.
When I heard that, I was a little skeptical at first. Neither my dear hubby's lovely sports buddy, nor her husband were known to me. Just like a perfume blind buy, such a "blind date" can go mighty wrong.
The fact that I have decided some time ago for a positive mindset and consciously give no more space to all negative topics in my life, does not necessarily make things easier, because unfortunately, very many people have the habit to talk only about bankruptcies, bad luck & mishaps, instead of good things. Thoughts are mental forces and energy follows attention - and I want to focus my attention on good things, thus reinforcing them. I felt inside myself and somehow I thought to myself that maybe it could be a nice meeting after all - and if the table talk really should only be about illnesses, world events and horror scenarios, I could say goodbye in a friendly way. A short prayer to heaven: "Please dear God, help that it will be a nice evening with nice people," and I agreed to the date.
Two weeks later, on a beautiful, warm summer evening, it was time. As an outfit for this evening I decided on a light pink fabric pants and a cream-colored silk blouse with short sleeves. With the fragrance I did not have to think long: Simply by Jil Sander was allowed to accompany me for the first time this evening.
Just two days ago, I had been in the perfume department of our local drugstore and wanted to test two fragrances, which there were then unfortunately not. In order not to have come completely in vain, I decided on the spur of the moment to test other fragrances that were unknown to me until then. One of them was Jil Sander's Simply. The elegant-looking, cylindrical bottle with the black cap appealed to me, so I sprayed some on my wrist and left the store. On the way to the car, I immediately noticed that this fragrance had that certain something. I kept sniffing my wrist during the drive home and was completely enchanted by the warm, soft leather scent with a pleasant sweetness and creamy powderiness. The day before I had tried Bottega Venetta's Eau de Parfum. This was also very interesting and of pleasant leatheriness, but then I lacked the warmth in this fragrance. It seemed ice cold to me - and Simply was the exact opposite. The enthusiasm lasted even a few hours later and so I got in the car again and brought Simply home.
For this evening, it seemed perfect for me. Pleasantly present without being overbearing, feminine without any wickedness - it WAS SIMPLE.
And - what can I say!!! God had answered my prayer. It was a perfect evening: warm temperatures, a couple I really liked, delicious food in a homey atmosphere, good conversation topics. A nice walk through the park-like tennis complex, which was already in the twilight, rounded off the evening. But no, what am I writing. The thing that really rounded out the evening, bathing it in a warm sea of friendliness was the creamy powdery elegance of Simply, which pleasantly rose to my nostrils every now and then.
Even today, when I smell Simply, immediately rises in me the memory of this beautiful evening and the beginning of a great friendship
