My holy grail

I am always fascinated when I look at some of the releases of my absolute favourite fragrances. When I do this, a journey into the past automatically begins in my head, in which I reflect on my situation at that time and revel in memories.

This one probably came on the market in 2009, my God, at that time I had just started studying and my biggest problem was the recurring question of where to party on the weekend and how to get home. Funnily enough, I can still remember exactly which fragrances I used back then: It was a mix of Boss Bottled, which I used to steal from my dad, or some 5€ scents from the drugstore, I think there was even a certain scent of the brand Playboy, shame on my head back then.

At that time, it probably wouldn't have occurred to me to have a look at niche fragrances from a certain Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The chance that I would have labeled him as a boring fresh laundry fragrance would have been quite high, and I would have had no understanding that a fragrance can actually cost more than 100€.

Well, times change, now I'm sitting in my home office and my nose keeps wandering to my sweater, which got a few splashes of that divine water this morning. A clear, airy purity, which is gently rounded off by a light-floral touch. The citric mentioned in the pyramid is MFK-typical for me and results rather as already described in a generally fresh opening, without the bergamot lying in my nose as otherwise genre-typical.

I can't explain exactly why this fragrance is so perfect for me, but you might think it was put in my cradle. When I presented this fragrance to my mother - which, by the way, I do with everyone, she always follows my collection eagerly - she immediately went into raptures and said with bright eyes: Ohhhhh, lily of the valley! She was immediately thrilled, just like me
Fascinating, a fragrance from the year 2009, which only knows how to enchant me in 2020. at some point, what belongs together comes together.
