Blind Purchase for a Blind Friend
What exactly is a blind friend?
In my case, a very likable man who is charming and funny, who makes me laugh and think. However, I have never met him in person.
So how do you choose a fragrance for such a person for their birthday?
Good question!
You take Parfumo, the big brother of Moritz (let's call him Maxx - first name TK) and try to find something suitable.
The good man has his birthday in the height of summer, and a fresh scent would definitely be advisable. At least that's my opinion.
Browse, search, make a list, and off to Maxx.
Oh, they have two of the fragrances I had written down for selection (out of about 20), which one should I choose?
Hmmmm, California Wave sounds really good based on the ingredients. But somehow it makes me think of sun-kissed surfers, blue eyes, and blonde hair. That doesn’t quite fit HIM.
Wait a minute, I can't let myself be misled by a fragrance name, can I?
That’s just not acceptable!
But I actually notice a reason why I shouldn’t take the California Wave: The good bottle is indeed packaged in one of those notorious plastic coffins, but the foil wrapping is open at the top.
Has the fragrance already been used?
What should I do? Buy or not buy? Well, at that price, a man can't go too wrong, but a woman might.
So I head to the checkout and talk to the nice saleswoman, No, the fragrance is new and unused. If they are sealed in the coffin, then there’s nothing wrong with it.
That’s why the fragrance is cheaper, because the actual packaging is damaged.
Interesting explanation - but that only applies to a fraction of the fragrance range.
Well, let’s trust the lady and take the good, interesting little water home.
Once home, I end up spending 8! sleepless nights because I’m still not sure if it’s used or unused. Eventually, I carefully open the foil, then the box, and right away I notice that the cardboard packaging is incorrectly sealed.
And somehow the fill level doesn’t seem quite right - at least in my eyes.
This can’t be right, can it?
Unfortunately, it is!
And after just a small cautious press on the spray head, disappointment and disbelief spread within me.
Disappointment because the bottle was clearly already opened.
Disbelief because the fragrance is simply stunning.
I can’t resist two more sprays. It doesn’t matter now; I can’t gift it anymore anyway.
I need to sit down or better yet, just flop down flat on my back in bed. Close my eyes.
It smells so wonderfully fresh, slightly sweet, not too overpowering, and somehow clean.
Oh, so nice. This fragrance brings a smile to my face.
If a man were to wear this, I would even come over for a cuddle in the summer despite the high temperatures.
Vetiver and a light hint of rosemary complement each other well, the other two components blend in.
Green, fresh, a bit woody and herbal.
It lasts on my skin for a good 6-7 hours, on my clothes even into the next day.
Yes, this is truly a perfect men’s fragrance for warm days, but… I’m not giving this one away. I will simply wear it myself.
And my blind friend… will he go empty-handed?
But no, of course not. Another blind purchase has already been made, which I hope he will like.
