Aqua Universalis Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2009 Eau de Toilette

Today is my dear husband's birthday, which is unfortunately overshadowed by a headache.
He gratefully accepted my practical gifts - a fitting pair of jeans and special sports socks.
Boring? For a pragmatist like him, not at all; besides, he is relieved not to have to hop around in a cramped fitting room.
He prefers to trust my judgment.

Despite his headache, he hasn't forgotten our wedding anniversary tomorrow, and bravely drives with me to the perfume store.
The scent chaos there is a bit overwhelming for him, but he stoically endures it beside me.
Love indeed tolerates everything.
So lovely!

When I spray Aqua Universalis, he turns to me affectionately despite his throbbing head.
The friendly lightness of the fragrance is incredibly appealing.

The bergamot exudes a subtle freshness, over which a gentle wood note settles.
The orange is citrusy but not sour, just like the bright lemon.
And the white lily of the valley is utterly lovely!
The perfect scent for our anniversary.

I can still see myself in my simple white wedding dress, holding a charming bouquet of roses and lily of the valley.
My husband effortlessly carries me over the threshold of the house and assures me that I weigh no more than a cat.

We both remember that moment and can't help but smile.

Exactly this carefree spirit and kindness is what Aqua Universalis embodies, which we both find fitting for the occasion and gladly take with us.

Tomorrow I get to be a bride again - and I would say yes to my husband all over again.
