Prodigieux - Absolu de Parfum Nuxe 2018

In the early 80s, as a very young woman, I was "On The Road" for an extended period.
When you have to carry all your belongings every day, you become very frugal and learn to limit yourself to the essentials.
Three pairs of underwear have to suffice. After all, you need space for a few books and a bottle of perfume (back then "Anais Anais").
For weeks, I sometimes camped on the beach.
To wash with fresh water, I had to hike up the mountain where a spring emerged.
Along the way, I was occasionally dependent on the murky trickle that flowed from the faucet of a dirty gas station restroom.
A very intense time. So close to the "essential".
Even today, I sometimes feel it as a luxury to enjoy a long, hot shower.
It's not something to take for granted.

Even here, one was frugal and limited.
Marquise27 has aptly put it:
How can something so beautiful be created from so few ingredients?

As it was, it was good and right.
But today I know that "Prodigieux Le Parfum" would have suited that trip better than Anais.
