The Elixir

My introduction to this fragrance began when I ordered a sample. Impatiently, I sprayed the scent on my wrist and... Oh man... terrible. My disappointment seemed endless. The smell reminded me of iodine and a pinch of sugar. I didn't know how to wash the scent off my wrist. But after a few days, I thought I should give the fragrance another chance. It can't be that it's so popular for no reason. I stopped spraying and instead took a micro-drop from the atomizer and dabbed it on my wrist. I held back from sniffing it immediately. I spent some time like this, and then I had a visitor. A friend came over, and when she hugged me to say hello, she said, "You smell good! What is that?"
And then it became clear to me that in micro-doses, this fragrance would become a unique companion for me. It smells extraordinary and very expensive. I can clearly perceive the saffron, and the sweetness rounds it off perfectly. Top scent!

Now that you mention it, iodine makes sense. It smells to me like a dentist's office: like rubber gloves and sterile tools.

You saved me! Iodine - it was on the tip of my tongue. That’s probably the “hospital” note that many associate with it. Thanks!
