It simply can't be a coincidence. Two weeks ago, I wrote my first comment here at Aquafitness by Biotherm that strongly reminded me of Heaven on Chopard from the 90s. Last week, I was swept away by the superlatives here to Escape by Calvin Klein... another highlight from the 90s.
And yesterday, I also (Parfumo is making me broke..:-)) bought Sculpture again after feeling like it had been 20 years (it was almost in real-time)... also one and perhaps THE fragrance highlight of the 90s... maybe I should quickly buy the Snap-Power CD this weekend and a pair of jeans with side inserts and/or lace-ups at the bottom... and round it all off with an Amiga computer;-). Am I imagining it, or were the fragrances of the 90s more unique and outstanding than today? Or do I already sound like my parents, saying that after the Beatles and Elvis, there was no decent music anymore;-)???
I admit that the somewhat warmer winter continuation of spring has prompted me to search for a sweeter autumn fragrance... since I had already stocked up on some fresh summer scents in joyful anticipation of spring. Discount price for 100ml at the price of an XXL sample... plus great comments here... plus wonderful memories of the scent made me order it within 10 minutes. And here we are with the fragrance itself... wow... sniff... delicious... somehow so completely different from everything else I have in my (mainstream) collection. It smells just as great as it did back when we played Tetris at noon and drove to the disco in Mom's Golf in the evening... and of course wore Sculpture or Joop Homme. So the scent is fresh in the first 2-3 minutes... I can recognize various citrus fruits as a layman... but then it quickly shifts into the cozy-feeling-sweet genre... exactly how I wanted it. So I wouldn't describe it as a summer scent now... but everyone perceives it differently. For me, it leans more towards Boss Orange or Jil Sander Sun Men... briefly fresh... then sweeter... warmer "tone." It's like with the new Davidoff The Game... the fan base is also divided into the fresh and/or sweet faction. Personally, I don't care if it’s well-received by gays in Cologne, punks in Hoyerswerda, or my future brother-in-law on my mother's side and clockwise... to my knowledge, they are all people in the end (and also above the line)... or not? It's simply a top fragrance... for me on a cooler spring day after work... and not for every day. Longevity is super class... lasts almost the entire workday with one(!) spray! So now I have to go... to the record store (that's what it was called back then... today it's downloads)... "Mr. Vain" is still missing from my collection... I just noticed..;-)
