Arabians Tonka Montale 2019

Back then, when I had no idea about perfumes and only owned Dior Sauvage and Boss Bottled, I had zero knowledge of fragrance.

Then one day, I smelled a young man on the street who simply smelled irresistibly good. I just had to know what it was and get it for myself. So I approached him and asked… Hey, you smell amazing, what perfume are you wearing? At first, he thanked me for the compliment and then replied… Arabians Tonka by Montale. I immediately said that I would order it right away.

And that’s exactly what I did. Later that same day, I googled the perfume, went to the first page, and saw the price: 140€ for a perfume. That was a lot of money for a perfume back then, but I did it anyway and ordered it.

A few days later it arrived, and I was so excited as I unwrapped it like a child opening gifts on Christmas. And there it was in my hand. I applied it right away and was amazed. Such a beautiful warm and sweet scent. It was my favorite perfume at the time, and I wore it on every possible occasion. It became MY scent. I was approached by so many people. It was insane.

But today I can no longer wear it, which hurts a little. I have grown tired of the scent. Now I have a large collection of perfumes, and it all started when I asked a man about his fragrance.
