Les Alizés Ligne St Barth 2007

Today I discovered a lonely little box at TK Maxx that, despite its simplicity, was relatively expensive.
For TK Maxx standards.
St. Barth - never heard of it.

However, it had no theft protection and looked quite worn.
This piqued my curiosity, even though I didn't know if it was a women's or men's fragrance.
But Parfumo informed me that it is unisex.
I mean, it even leans slightly feminine.

The crystal-clear bottle contains an equally clear liquid that immediately captivates me.

Fresh and sweet at the same time - a lovely combination.
The citrus notes are subtle and not sour, forming a refreshing base.
The jasmine shines brightly - cooled by neroli.
Sweet amber joins in, and sandalwood embraces the soft coolness against my skin.

I remember afternoons with sea breeze that I spent at the Elbe beach - near the Hamburg harbor.
The "ships" with foreign flags passed by me like unreal backdrops.
Along with the melodious names - like Saratoga or Casablanca.
I was only a few meters from my home - yet on a grand journey to unknown shores.

When my wanderlust was satisfied, I climbed the "heavenly ladder" with my little dog - and looked forward to a warm cup of tea - in familiar lands.

Les Alizes has awakened this beautiful memory in me.

I didn't have a large selection of perfumes, and I wasn't in the mood to test everything... then the saleswoman came over and I said: I'm looking for a vacation on the island, please spray it on!!
And there it was, my Caribbean vacation on my skin... and I was there... and still am...
