Verde d'Arancia Monotheme

Let me tell you a story about stupidity and snobbery.

For a long time I'd been on the hunt for the perfect orange, a juicy, bitter-peeled orange, a bit old-school, a little masculine leaning, a bit tart.

I've also known Verde d'Arancia for a long time. I don't know how many times I went into a dm-store just to smell it, how many times I wanted to buy it. Did I get it? Hell no! How am I supposed to pick up a 13 Euro perfume when the number of places in my wardrobe is strictly limited? No way! Surely there's one at 200 Euro+, the ultimate orange, just waiting to steal my mind and the money off my card.

I had big fantasies about Tauer's 09 Orange Star. Recently, I got to test it. It's interesting, I like it, but from the first sniff I realized it wasn't what I was looking for. And that's when the epiphany hit me: Hello, stupid, what the hell are you looking for when perfection is right under your nose? Are you really so dumb that it would bother you to pay only 13 Euro (even 10 if I had ordered it online) for that perfume you really want?

So I ran off to the nearest dm-store, from where I returned home with my perfect orange. Me happy!
