Back to the past

I personally don't like it when I read the hundredth commentary on a fragrance and how differently everyone perceives the fragrance and basically reads up and down the pyramid of fragrances.

Everyone has a different feeling, everyone has a different nose and, as is well known, taste and smell are debatable.

It's the stories behind the scent that interest me and it's these scents I'm looking for and that's why I ended up with Absinthe.

The comments about haystacks and over the mountains were reason enough for me to get carried away with a blind buy.

So the parcel arrived...I am sitting on my couch and the warm sun is shining on my back...I open the parcel and see the falcon with its greenish contents...

The first sprayer goes to my wrist...I lean back and smell my wrist and a journey into my past begins as I never expected it to begin.

In my youth my clique and I went to Austria...we had a little mountain hut for us alone and it was one of the most beautiful times I remember with pleasure.

In the hut it was always a bit cooler and the cellar somehow smelled slightly musty, earthy, woody, damp - so like a really old-fashioned mountain hut...

When I smelled on my wrist, I was immediately in this cellar...I hear my friends laughing at me, I smell this old mountain hut and feel the longing and lightness for this time.

At that time I didn't find the smell really disturbing, it was just there, but today it is something very special...for me Nasomatto Absinth is something like a time machine, which brings me back to this hut of my youth with every spray over and over again.

That's exactly why I love this scent!

Nice review.
I feel the same way ... with the scent stories.

I know it all too well. I like it too, even if it was enough to buy it, but it is really fascinating.

Who doesn't know it! Fragrances manage to awaken memories...somehow sad and beautiful at the same time.

That's exactly what fragrances are for me too. To bring back memories of old times. Cup for you!
